Getting Out: A Restorative Approach to Prison Ministry - Paperback

by Michael B. Bowe (Author)

Prison ministry needs to be reevaluated. It just is not working. The typical approach to prison ministry is to lead an inmate to Christ to save his or her wretched soul from the pits of hell. However, what about the hell that a particular inmate will face upon release? Michael Bowe introduces a more wholistic approach that engages in the social gospel and restorative justice to address many of the concerns people face when leaving prison. He utilizes systems theory as an approach to address societal and family issues. Getting Out engages the reader with conversations and struggles real people face when leaving prison.
