These 52 daily devotionals are short testimonies written in first-person by kids in jail who have come to a faith and Christ.They express confusion and sometimes despair but always the hope that is found in a relationship with God.Because they are real-life accounts, the testimonies address hard issues—like continuing to struggle with sin, insecurity and fear of failure, self-mutilation, attempted suicide, and the frustration that comes from being locked up over and over again.Each testimony is followed by Scripture and then two questions that help the youth apply what he or she has just learned.
Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?
This short book is geared towards high-risk youth.Because it is written by kids and teenagers, the language and the topics are extremely relevant to today’s youth.This devotional is perhaps most challenging and effective because of its peer-to-peer teaching style.Urban youth workers could use the devotional to help them develop biblical responses to common struggles high-risk youth face.

One of the most important elements of a successful job search and the subsequent interview is making the all important positive first impression. You will never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Christians have a call from Christ to "do unto the least of these, as you would do unto me". Christ also calls us to love those who hate us and pray for those who persecute us. Our prisons are filled with men and women who have come to hate free society; they've come to the point that they would rather be in prison or get into free society and harm others.
