Welcome to the second edition of the Spiritual Survival Guide for Prison and Beyond. It's exactly what it sounds like, a tool that engenders hope, nourishes prisoners' faith, strengthens their relationships with Jesus, and is a helpful aid to discovering a positive new self. It deals with questions inmates often ask, as well as the questions they're afraid to ask. Written by Pastor Fred Nelson, the Spiritual Survival Guide was originally developed by Redeemer Church, Park Ridge, Illinois, for their Under the Door Prison Ministry at Stateville Prison in Joliet, IL. Written with extensive input from current and former inmates, prison chaplains, pastors of ex-inmates, family members, and workers in re-entry ministry, the book covers issues like…

• Forgiveness, Shame, and Guilt
• Addiction
• Gangs
• Family and Fatherhood
• Your Past and the Truth about What God Thinks of You
• Surviving Spiritually Beyond Prison

Written in a conversational style, the book includes questions for reflection that can be used by individuals or groups. The second edition includes 7 small group Bible studies specially designed for inmates or returning citizens. Over 60,000 copies have been distributed, and it's currently in use in prisons, jails, and reentry centers in a number of states.
