Download Breaking Out of Prison with Jesus Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Breaking Out of Prison with Jesus explains the challenges that ex-offenders face as they reenter society. The central theme of the book highlights how a personal saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only path to successfully transition out of prison. Christian Aftercare Ministries (CAM) provides the spiritual and physical support as well as accountability to help men and women successfully reenter society. Breaking Out of Prison with Jesus describes the key steps that puts the ex-offender on a path to a positive Christian life after prison. CAM and its support network help and encourage clients to find a good job and safe housing, as well as connect with a Bible-believing church where they live. Attending Bible studies with supportive Christian leaders is also critical. A number of prison chaplains, local pastors, and laypeople volunteer both in prisons and on the outside to provide these opportunities. CAM's strategy is to have each client know and experience a strong Christian support structure surrounding them. Relying on Jesus and their faith is at the foundation of their success. Ex-offenders face many challenges on the outside. Falling into old habits and old relationships can sometimes put them right back in prison. Breaking out of that cycle through their faith in Jesus and the support of ministries like CAM is possible, as the many success stories highlighted in the book illustrate. CAM also desires young people to see that serving Jesus in prison ministry is one of the greatest blessings and to get involved in sharing the Gospel in prisons and jails and through aftercare ministries like CAM.

The guiding purpose of this project is to develop a model to help congregations become re-entry churches. It is the development of a series of seminars to help congregations provide a deliberative type of pastoral care, Christological in nature, to all those impacted by mass incarceration. This project targets the highest racial and age percentage of men and women in prison. It leans to, but not limited to nonviolent crimes, with an overall focus on equipping the church to receive and reach out to anyone on the margins. It seeks to address the greatest moral and racial injustice of our time, mass incarceration with the church as a way to turn the tide. This project begins in a city overwhelmed with churches whom all know the impact of racism and incarceration. Goldsboro, NC where the crime rate is higher than the average of the state. Inside this city is a congregation, making a difference in the world. Greenleaf Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), is audacious enough to uplift the Kingdom of God inside the church but also in its surrounding community. It served as a pilot for this project for the work they were already doing but also to help them respond to the new construction of a prison near their church. The anticipated outcome that will evolve from this project is that local churches would become more knowledgeable about the trauma of incarceration that is already embedded in their churches. More directly, they will gain a deeper understanding of the politics of incarceration while, juxtaposing biblical anthropology verse criminal anthropology. Doing so will lead in creating a climate of acceptance, openness, honesty, and support. Lastly, they will gain a stronger appreciation of pastoral care to the poor, to the marginalized in respect to the birth, the life, the death and return of Jesus Christ. I believe from a Chaplain's perspective that if the church is authentic in serving God, we will not forget those impacted by mass incarceration and will utilize every ministry to radically encourage a new era in the church beyond prison ministry.

A funny-but-touching tale about everything that can go wrong...and what makes it all right! Tess Nelson is poised to take a well-deserved step up the corporate ladder when it's yanked out from under her. With no job and nothing to fill her days--just a nonrefundable ticket for a trip to Hawaii--Tess decides a tropical vacation is just what she needs. But Tess's journey to paradise is a disaster from the beginning. A sprained ankle at the airport is just the beginning. Then there's the lost contact lens and the lost luggage, the lightning storm at a luau, and the hotel fire. Not to mention the approaching hurricane. And the attractive, annoying young man who keeps crossing her path--and really shaking her up. All Tess wants to do is get her life back under control. But God, it seems, has something else in mind--like opening her heart to everything her life could be.

Dr. Covert uses his experiences as both police officer and state prison chaplain to examine the environment of the incarcerated—people who are often forgotten by society. He emphasizes particular areas of inmate stress and how they impact upon the inmate's spiritual formation and the role of the Church in offering encouragement, healing, and transformation. He calls for staff education, environmental improvement, and a pastoral presence that facilitates rehabilitation and hope, rather than discouragement and punishment. (197pp. Masthof Press, 2022.)
