Duane Chapman, more commonly known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, is known for chasing down criminals. But he's also on a mission to help people connect with the Gospel. Chapman, author of the new book "Nine Lives and Counting: A Bounty Hunter’s Journey to Faith, Hope, and Redemption," told CBN News he was brought up in a Christian home by a praying mom. "I knew more than most people did, right from wrong, miracles of God — I knew all that," he said, noting, though, that he got a bit off track at one point. "I went to prison in the 70s."

Chapman and three accomplices reportedly broke into a man's home on a search for marijuana. One of his accomplices shot and killed the man during a struggle. Chapman was sentenced to five years and served 18 months. After his jail time experience, Chapman was released and righted his wrongs, becoming a bounty hunter and launching on his path to a career that inevitably landed him with the show "Dog the Bounty Hunter," which aired new episodes from 2003 to 2012. Chapman, who has certainly had a plethora of success, has also had his share of heartbreak.

His wife, Beth, who joined him on his TV adventure died in 2019 after a cancer battle. He's since remarried and he's been on a journey of strengthening his faith alongside new wife, Francie. "I know God is absolutely real," Chapman said. "I know that God told me years ago ... 'I'm going to show you miracles beyond [anything] that you could imagine, think, or want.'" He continued, "My faith has grown ever since Beth passed away about five years ago and I met Francie."

Chapman said he and his wife walk "hand-in-hand" in faith. The two also evangelize and speak to audiences together, sharing their Christian beliefs. As for Chapman's new book, Nine Lives and Counting: A Bounty Hunter’s Journey to Faith, Hope, and Redemption," he's hoping to see the text reach hearts and minds. Watch him discuss the book, his experiences seeing real-life demonic evil, and more.

    I was born Jewish. After watching Dog The Bounty Hunter, and Beth, on UK TV, the veil was taken from my eyes. I was so envious of the gentle love Dog and Beth gave to criminals. Now I am a born again Christian. Other reasons gave me a shove, but it was Dog, seeing him on Sid Roth's show. Thank you Dog. Praise The Lord in His Mercy. Amen
  • a rough exterior does not immediately mean a bad person. i'm an ex-heroin addict, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and saved from drug addiction by Divine Intervention. Many of us have similar stories. God is good and Jesus is KING! ❤🙏
  • I am born again since I was 14 yrs I love The Lord. May God bless you brother

    Praise God! I think nobody can reach the lost and hurting more than somebody that has been down out lost and hurting.
  • @lindamoses3697

    Legion means many. They refer to themselves as they. Interesting how people of the West refer to themselves as they. We're definitely the last of days. It's so important to have strong people of God.
  • @goldswan7993
    Nobody fakes the love for the Lord Dog radiates. God is so good and I ordered Dogs book.
  • @momatomic
    Great to see Dog! One of my favorite people! So glad he found a mate! We miss Beth, but she knew he couldn’t be alone, and so did God. Welcome Francie! Praise God and thank you Jesus!
  • @drew7257
    Amazing that he chose God over the highest paying offer. He's obviously a man of character.
