Doing HIS Time: Meditations and Prayers for Men and Women in Prison

Bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to women and men in prison, in their language, understanding their culture in a way that makes it come alive. Jim Vogelzang spent 36 years in prison, but never spent a day behind bars! In prison to selfishness and the world, he underwent a spiritual transformation at age 36, after reading Chuck Colson s autobiography, Born Again. He felt God's call to go into prison and share the loving grace of Jesus Christ in the form of a devotional that delivers the message in an inmate's language and situation. From 1999 to 2008, the author researched prison life and lingo to better understand what it was like to be incarcerated. Then taking this knowledge, he and co-author/editor Lynn Vanderzalm wrote Doing HIS Time to share the Good News in an inmate's native tongue. In 2014, the authors updated the book, adding 25 new meditations and 25 pages of Study Guides to help inmates and prison ministers and chaplains get the most out of this book. This is a powerful and insightful book that is a must have that will speak God s love in a way that everyone involved in the criminal justice system will understand.
