The story of George and Patsy Holley could be the most refreshing story you’ll ever heard. This is an account of how a good man can go wrong, experience the horror of prison, find joy in the midst of chaos, and meet and marry the love of his life while incarcerated.
It is also the story of a 45-year-old widow with five children who followed God’s leading and fell in love with a prisoner before she started college. Her story alone is an example of God's amazing grace.
A prisoner said to Chaplain Holley, “I’m a failure and doing a life sentence. Is there any hope for me?”
Chaplain Holley answered, “Let me tell you a true story, then you decide.”
Filled with true stories about both winners and losers, including Chaplain Holley's story, it tells what being in prison is really like, not the Hollywood version. It is common for individuals to believe that once a person is convicted and incarcerated, he or she can never again be trusted to be a productive member of society. Those persons may be like the good deacon in a small church who told Chaplain Holley, "To be honest, Reverend Holley, I believe we ought to lock 'em up, shove their food under the gate, hose 'em down once a day and throw away the key."
Miraculously, after hearing this story, he apologized and confided he had been wrong. More than a biographical work, this book is an invitation to become acquainted with two authors who have crafted their life stories simply because they care. So, set aside all distractions and dive in. You will laugh, you will learn, and if you dare, you will grow in your faith.
Be prepared to take stock of your own past, examine your present, and embody your truest and best life for the future that lies before you. When you’re done, you will have acquired two best friends: George and Patsy Holley.

Within These Walls is the powerful memoir of Rev. Carroll Pickett, who spent fifteen years as the death house chaplain at "The Walls," the Huntsville unit of the Texas prison system. In that capacity, Reverend Pickett ministered to ninety-five men before they were put to death by lethal injection. They came with sinister nicknames like "The Candy Man" and "The Good Samaritan Killer," some contrite, some angry -- a few who might even have been innocent.

"In this life, I have lost. I lost my husband and best friend. My children lost their father. But Stephen didn't lose his life. He found it." Early one morning, just down the street from the local mosque, gunshots shattered the silence. A young American lay in a pool of blood, murdered by al-Qaeda extremists. When God called Emily and Stephen Foreman to bring the gospel to a Muslim nation where Christianity was illegal, they knew they were being called to a life of sacrifice. "We died before we came here" was their common refrain.

Like most Americans, you might think of Ben Carson as a trailblazing brain surgeon and, in the last few years, as an outspoken commentator on national issues. But his wife of more than 40 years knows him as so much more: A loving husband, a devoted father, a devout Christian, a committed philanthropist, and a fierce patriot. Now Candy Carson introduces us to the private side of a very public figure as she shares the inspiring story of their marriage and their family.

When Craig Cooper and Walker Hayes met, Walker was an alcoholic atheist reeling from the backlash of a failed music career. Through their unlikely friendship, Craig’s life demonstrated the love of Christ in a way that shattered Walker’s misconceptions of Christianity, ultimately leading him down the path to a dramatic conversion. The two are now close as brothers, choosing to be next-door neighbors, and ripped out the fence between their homes as a testament to the power of the gospel to break down barriers and unite people together in Christ.

Shelene Bryan had it all - a wonderful husband, two great kids, a rewarding job, a dream home, and more. Then a friend saw the pictures on the refrigerator door of the two African kids Shelene’s family sponsors and she asked, "How do you know those kids are real?" That question changed Shelene’s life forever.

When Kevin West resigned from his job as vice president of a bank in 1998 after making fraudulent loans, he spent the time before his trial managing a family-owned, small grocery store in Ironton, Ohio. Dealing with serious marriage problems and with a prison sentence almost certainly in his future, Kevin was overcome with remorse and without a scrap of hope. It was at his lowest moment that Kevin called out to a power beyond himself for help, and God answered his prayer in the form of an elderly vagrant named Don.

There's a Sheep in My Bathtub chronicles the adventures of the Hogan family as they try to follow God's leading into one of the world's most remote and mysterious enclaves. Disarmingly honest and charmingly humorous, their tale will thrill you and bring tears to your eyes. An intensely personal memoir, this book still manages to pack a powerful dose of missionary insight and biblical principles for seeing the Church explode into life among peoples that have never even heard of Jesus.

Easy read, filled with amazing true stories
Amazing true story that will captivate you. I laughed, I cried, Thoroughly enjoyed the outcome. It was hard to put down. I wanted to see what happened next. Highly recommend this book for anyone needing encouragement, anyone who likes a good read, that has humor scattered throughout, It is filled with twists and turns that will surprise you. Best of all, it really happened. I call it a "page turner" because that is what my grandma called a book you don't want to put down or end.
