Synopsis

During Mr. Martin's twenty-four years of incarceration, he found hope and encouragement from close friends within and without the prison system and from the writings of Rev. Charles Stanley, Dr. Stanley Hauerwas, Gerald Schlabach, John Eldredge, and Dr. Howard Zehr, the grandfather of the restorative justice movement, among others. He wrote this book to inform others about the reality of life behind prison walls and how one can not only survive, but thrive in such a negative, hopeless environment.

In this book, Mr. Martin shows that, no matter the circumstances of one's life, one can choose hope over despair and can find the positive aspects of very negative situations. Even the incarcerated can choose to lead a fruitful, productive life. With God, all things are possible.
