Nationally recognized experts W. Wilson Goode, Charles E. Lewis, and Harold Dean Trulear bring us this edited volume addressing the impact of incarceration on the African American community and the biblical mandate for an intentional response from the church. The book features model ministries that address:
Incarceration
Prisoner reentry
Care of families
Political advocacy around issues in criminal justice reform is also addressed.
Contributors include scholars, ministry practitioners, pastors, and formerly incarcerated individuals who offer a paradigm for "prisoner ministry" that goes beyond traditional worship and Bible study programs.
