Most of us are eager to share our achievements, but few are willing to expose our failures. Half Heaven Half Heartache does just that as Judge Robert Alexander bares his soul on every page; good, bad, and ugly. Adopted by a Christian family, Alexander suffered terribly when his parents divorced, and struggled through military service as a young man during the Vietnam War. Embracing the horrors of a biker's life, he became everything he hated. You will love him and loathe him riding shotgun through Hell and back, watching him claw his way up from the lowest of lows. Seizing the brass ring of power, you'll endure his despair as he is blindsided by the agonizing emptiness awaiting him at the top. And just when it seemed hope was lost, Robert Alexander discovered the truth that even the deepest wounds can be healed when a man experiences God's amazing grace and mercy. Judge Robert E. Alexander is retired from the NYS Department of Correctional Services where he has served in a number of capacities. Additionally, he has taught for over 25 years as an Adjunct Faculty member at two prestigious colleges, serving on numerous civic organizations. Presently Judge Alexander presides over the Village of Corfu and Town of Pembroke Courts. Featured on radio, television, in documentaries, and magazine articles, he is the founder and Director of Men of the Harvest Ministries, a Christian charity providing appliances, food, and low cost vehicles for those in need. While holding several academic degrees, Judge Alexander is also an Ordained Minister who travels across the United States and Canada sharing the life changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He and his wife, Gerry Ellen, have beenmarried for 36 years, and have six children and 12 grandchildren.
