Discovering the Bible Behind Bars
Testimony★★★★In jail, I was put in a tiny cell for 2 and a half weeks. Desperate and despairing, something impressed me to look under my bunk mattress where I found books, including the Bible. For the first time, I began reading it daily. The Bible gave me hope that this wasn’t the end but a new beginning. God was with me through this process, giving me peace and forgiveness.
