Description: Today's prison can be a hell on earth. An inmate is surrounded by cement, bars, razor wire, bricks and an icy cold atmosphere. Deceit and distrust are a way of life. It is a nightmare. For a lifer, there seems little hope of ever waking up from that nightmare.
Other prisons can be self-inflicted. Guilt and regret; anger and bitterness; indifference and neglect; loneliness and despair- all can imprison people. These prisoners do not see a way out either.
Jesus Christ is the only answer to the pain and agony of the many prisons in which people exist. Only He has the power to give victory over failure, hope for the hopeless, and freedom to the prisoner.
This book chronicles the experiences of Debbie and Steve Frederick. Steve is serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit. Debbie was "imprisoned" by her own guilt, regret, anger and bitterness. Drawn together by the Lord through prison ministry, they are now "serving a life sentence" for the Lord.
