A New Kind of Freedom
What do you think of those serving time? For many, prisoners are the throw-away people, and inherently evil, but Wrightsville Prison Chaplain Bruce Cunningham reminds us that they’re just like you and me. Bruce tells how he first got involved in prison ministry and how God has given him a passion to help and serve these men, most of whom are fatherless. Plus, Dennis Rainey takes time to connect with prison inmates and hear the stories of a few whose lives were impacted by material on biblical manhood.
