Book Description A magisterial study of Christian mercy within the gritty realities of the American prison system…– Rev. Marjorie Holm, Chaplain Service of the Churches of Virginia
An inmate for life, Jens Soering tells stories of prison life that are shocking and inspiring. He confronts us with Jesus' challenge to love not only the least amongst us but those who are perceived as the worst amongst us.
Anyone interested in what goes on behind the walls of our nation’s prisons and in seeing the face of Christ in everyone will value this authentic, harrowing, and visionary search for redemption.
Jens Soering confronts the everyday realities of prison life with mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. I recommend The Convict Christ to those willing to become more deeply sensitized to the failures and injustices in our jails and prisons today. It is fascinating and enriching!– Walter F. Sullivan, Bishop Emeritus of Richmond
Jens Soering has been incarcerated since 1986. He is the author of The Way of the Prisoner and An Expensive Way to Make Bad People Worse.
