Going to Prison

One of the joys of writing a book is that God can you use whenever and wherever He wants. It's sort of like blogging and podcasting. You ministry becomes asynchronous. When someone buys a book, I feel like I get to hang out with them for six hours! Just found out I'll be hanging out in prison. A chaplain in Florida is taking a group of inmates through In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day.

Before the book ever came off the press, a team of NCCers prayed for everybody that would pick up the book. We prayed that it would get into the right hands at the right time. He keeps answering those prayers in amazing ways!

That is amazing. I'm so thankful for prison chaplans...my brother was saved in prison and healed of cancer. He was delivered of drug and alcohol addictions that sent him to prison. The Lord will surely use your book to help those in that prison to have new hope and direction.

I know this has nothing to do with your current post...but

Could you post your Top 10 "sayings" ala your previous Top 10 lists?

By the way, "In a Pit..." is now required reading at Master's Commission Clarksville. Thanks for your service!

"Your ministry becomes asynchronous"
