Prison Ministry: Insights
about prison culture! Mandatory reading for Christian Chaplains who
do not understand the commandments regarding visiting prisons."
For new prison ministry chaplains, prison culture is like visiting
a foreign land, and the thought of ministering in prison to those
incarcerated can be a very intimidating prospect. Many churches have
sent teams of ministers into prisons, and nearly two-thirds of them
have returned to their churches defeated. Prison chaplains must have
a far better view of what prison ministry is all about if their are
to get through many of the trouble areas in the ministry of prison
chaplaincy.

Ministry to the Incarcerated: In Ministry to the Incarcerated,
Dr. Henry G. Covert uses his experience as both police officer and
prison chaplain to examine the problems of the incarcerated - people
who are often misunderstood and forgotten. Dr. Covert addresses specific
areas of inmate stress, such as low self-esteem, guild, and unrealistic
expectations, and explains how these can be major obstacles to a prisoner's
personal and spiritual development. According to Dr. Covert, many
inmates truly desire to change. He gives examples of biblical themes
that can promote healing and regeneration among prisoners, drawing
specifically on the teachings of Jesus. He calls for staff education,
environmental improvement, and a pastoral presence to enable our prisons
to become sites of rehabilitation, rather than places of punishment.

Becoming an Effective Christian Counselor: The Bible has eternal
values, sure direction, and answers to every nonmedical problem that
people experience. This book identifies the thirty-five most common
problems, categorized under seven biblical root causes: bitterness,
fornication, materialism, rejection, lying, imagination, and doubt.
The chapters on addiction, cruel men, suffering and grief, and depression
are separate because of their length, but each falls under one of
the root causes. Family problems are listed in three separate chapters
because they each may be a result of several root causes. There are
enough suggested solutions to each problem that, by using the appropriate
solution, the counselor can help the counselee find God's solution
to the problem, no matter what the situation. Learn

Doing Life:
Reflections of Men & Women Serving Life Sentences:
What does it mean
to face a life prison sentence? What have "lifers" learned
about life - from having taken a life? Photographer Howard Zehr has
interviewed and made portraits of men and women in Pennsylvania prisons
who are serving life sentences without possibility of parole. He invited
them to choose street clothes to wear, then photographed them in a
neutral setting with their eyes engaged by the camera. The result?
Readers see the prisoners as people, de-mystified. Brief text accompanies
each portrait, the voice of each prisoner speaking openly about the
crime each has committed, the utter violation of another person each
has caused. They speak of loneliness, missing their children growing
up, dealing with the vacuum, caught between death and life. Reflections
of Men & Women Serving Life Sentences
