Jail and Prison: Opportunity of a Lifetime

Jail and Prison: Opportunity of a Lifetime by Johnson, Victor. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780982229576.

(Note: This is the same book as the one listed under its new title, Jail and Prison: Devils Playground or God-Given Opportunity, The only difference is that its the original red cover, and listed under its original title,) One of the most tragic lost opportunities in the world is the time men and women piddle away during their incarceration. Countless political and spiritual leaders have been nurtured, incubated, and birthed in the womb of various correctional facilities and even concentration camps. But most inmates have little motivation or understanding of what to do with this valuable asset. This book offers biblical insight into God’s purpose in the “correction” process. That the men and women there have perhaps major issues to deal with, in addition to sometimes heart-rending family backgrounds, is not only “no problem” to God, but actually an advantage! Because who needs God when everything is going great? This is why “God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important” (1 Corinthians 1:28 NLT). The most hopeless situations give God a chance to demonstrate His grace, and the “survival of the fittest” is the one who decides to take full advantage of that grace. It’s all about seeing Jail and Prison from God’s viewpoint, allowing Him to take over the “training process,” and realizing this time away from outside distractions and in-your-face temptations is actually a gift designed by Him to totally change one’s life and attitude. Johnson has kept the cost low to make it easy for family and friends to get it for their loved ones in the “Master’s School of the Spirit.”
