God's Forgiven Servant : A Christian in Prison
Bok av Tom Masters
We all make mistakes in life?bad decisions in a moment of desperation. But what if your one bad decision led to a harsh punishment much greater than what would normally be mandated? This is what happened to Tom Masters.
A Christian attorney with an extensive law enforcement background, Tom made the mistake of borrowing money from his client?s trust account. When he was unable to repay the funds, he was prosecuted for theft. Under the advisement of his attorney, who he believed had his best interests in mind, Tom pled guilty before an atheist judge (who he had a negative history with) and was sentenced to sixty months in prison. This was despite him having no prior criminal history and the sentencing guidelines calling for probation. In a moment, Tom?s life was drastically changed.
God?s Forgiven Servant: A Christian in Prison tells Tom?s story of his time behind bars. His law enforcement background made him a target among other inmates, especially after he was mistakenly reassigned to a maximum-security prison known as ?the snake pit,? where murders were an almost daily occurrence. He began his sentence intending to keep to himself and not interact with the other inmates, but God had another plan. God?s will was for Tom to be His representative in prison and minister to unsaved inmates. Through his obedience, Tom had the opportunity to hold Bible studies and lead more than thirty inmates to salvation. And God protected him every step of the way, intervening when his life was in danger many times.
Come along on the journey and get an inside look at what it?s like to live behind bars. Hear the stories of God?s grace and the transformation people receive when they surrender their lives to Him. See how God redeemed Tom?s time, making him His forgiven servant.
