Convicted: Finding Freedom Behind Bars
A Collection of True Stories of Redemption and Transformation
In a world that often writes people off after their worst mistakes, CONVICTED presents 52 extraordinary true stories that prove no life is beyond redemption. From death row to maximum security, from gang leaders to corporate executives, these accounts reveal how the darkest places can become sacred ground for profound transformation.
This powerful collection explores incredible transformations,
• A Washington power broker who went from being the President's "hatchet man" to founding the world's largest prison ministry
• A gang co-founder on death row who instead of planning escapes chose to spend his final years writing children's books to prevent violence
• A foreign operative who killed over 100 people in a terrorist attack, then folded origami cranes from Bible pages—one for each victim—while discovering peace in an enemy prison
• A corporate CEO who commanded a $100 billion empire and threw million-dollar parties, only to find true purpose while reading scripture in his prison cell
• A grandmother convicted of multiple murders who became known as the "angel of death row" for her ministry to fellow inmates and correspondence with troubled people nationwide
CONVICTED explores the dual meaning of its title — being declared guilty by a court of law, and being spiritually awakened to truth. Written with respect for both victims and those seeking redemption, this collection challenges assumptions about justice, mercy and genuine transformation.
These are not stories that minimize crime or excuse harmful behavior, but accounts of people who faced the full weight of their actions and found a path forward through faith, accountability and service to others. The testimonies demonstrate that physical confinement cannot imprison the human spirit when it encounters divine grace.
For readers interested in criminal justice reform, spiritual transformation or the resilience of the human spirit, CONVICTED provides compelling evidence that no story is finished until it's finished...and that sometimes our greatest failures become the foundation for our most meaningful contributions.
Perfect for those seeking hope, understanding the power of redemption or exploring how faith can flourish in the darkest places.
