Letters To Prison: Words of Encouragement and Faith

The pandemic of 2020-2021 left most of us feeling imprisoned in one way or another. Some of us were actually incarcerated. Your prison may not be bars of steel or razor wire. Your prison may be that of sin, addiction, illness, or trauma. But there is hope! There is nothing more encouraging than God's Word, but sometimes we become so imprisoned to our feelings or circumstances that we cannot hear Him. We must rely on others to remind us that we all are loved. That's what this book is all about-reminding us that God can deliver us from any type of prison. Patterned after the Apostle Paul's letters from prison, LETTERS TO PRISON consists of excerpts and scripture from letters sent to the author by loving friends and family while incarcerated. Hopefully, these letters of encouragement and faith bring release, joy, and hope to others as well.
