Books for Inmates: Make an impact on lives
"GET FREE and STAY FREE: Stories of Inmates Who Found Freedom Inside and Out" tells the compelling account of 11 inmates who have achieved and maintained physical and spiritual freedom.
These in-depth interviews are soul-baring accounts of dysfunctional families, chaotic neighborhoods, addiction, poverty, emotional pain, violence, and shallow goals that helped lead to very foolish choices. Once arrested, convicted, sentenced, and incarcerated the challenges became more intense. But these 11 sinners found the way to abundant life.
They each, in their way and in their own time, decided to follow Jesus Christ. They had help from loved ones, chaplains, corrections professionals, and Christian ministries like Yokefellowship Prison Ministry. But it was their confessions, prayers, and encounters with the Holy Spirit that took them from darkness to light.
Despite the tragic stories in the book, these are stories of hope! There is encouragement and wisdom here for inmates, returned citizens, their families, the professionals who work with them, and all who believe that everyone who sins can change and that second chances can lead to men and women who bless the world. There are important lessons here for those who care about correctional ministry and for all of us who sin.
We encourage you to help us share this hope by gifting books or donating to our book fund.
