      One of Them – by Kenneth Dapp in Texas

      Dear Potential Adopter, I want to thank you for taking this first step. For most of my life I believed what the media and television wanted me to believe. Everyone convicted by the courts is a criminal and should be thrown in ...

      My Reluctant Ministry – Family

      The most remarkable part of being locked up is not the lack of remorse and compassion from these prisoners, but the level of humanness of these so called hardened criminals. A man came to me the other day because, he said, ...
