Overview

Patrick Day, a Gideon with a jail and prison ministry has written HOW TO STAY OUT OF JAIL for his visits to county jails, state prisons, and rehabilitation centers like Adult and Teen Challenge. He gives them out at not cost to inmates, prisoners, and clients in these facilities following a one-hour presentation. The books are paid for by donations to a local church in Buffalo, Minnesota, so they qualify as a 501c3 tax deductible contribution. If you are purchasing these books for your own jail or prison ministry, you can do a similar thing, if you choose. The book is 42-pages in length in an 81/2 by 11 format, with illustrations by Myron Sahlberg, an acclaimed artist on the national scene. It is written in simple language and Scripture verses are taken from The Message, which is an everyday-language translation easily understood by those for whom the Bible may or may not be familiar. HOW TO STAY OUT OF JAIL offers hope to the hopeless and freedom to those who who have been confined, some of them more times than they can remember. The message throughout the book is that there are choices to be made - going God's way or the way of the world and the self-centered self. Their own ways and the pattern of the world is what sends them back to jail or prison or rehab centers. God's way is the best way, sometimes the only way, to stop the cycle of recidivism. Most of these men and women are visual learners, so the book is full of lively metaphors (like parables) that illustrate why even born-again Christians keep coming back to jail. Illustrations in each chapter help show in picture form the messages delivered by Mr. Day in his presentations. If you want more information about Mr. Day's presentations and how to get into jails, prisons, or rehab centers for presentations of your own, you can contact him at: patrickday@pyramidpublishers.com.
