The Prisoner’s Prayer Book is exactly that. It is a compilation of simple, easy-to-read one-page prayers, set in a prisoner’s surroundings, dealing with subjects they encounter on a daily basis. The prayers reflect loneliness, ongoing struggles, and insights gained. If you know someone who is in prison, someone who may feel that there may not be a soul “out there” who cares if he (or she) lives or dies, this is the book. The prayers are for prisoners. The artwork has been done by prisoners.
It is the author’s hope that these prayers will help a loved one find hope in his or her daily life, value in self and in others, and love from a God Who continues to love them, even when it sometimes seems that no one else does.

If the sound of a clanging gate, the jangling of keys, or maybe the sight of barbed wire or even uniforms make you nervous, perhaps becoming a part of ministry ‘on the inside’ is not for you. I had no idea what to expect when I first signed up. Inside, however, I discovered a world I never knew existed. I met human beings who’d been forgotten by family and society, men who craved the touch of a handshake. It was for only one hour, but for that hour, these men were no longer prisoners. Instead, they were fellow Christians coming together in worship. At one time I was asked why I went there. My answer now is “because you are worth it.” I promise you, should you choose to accept the mission of being part of a prison ministry, of if you choose to become an advocate “on the outside,” you will never, ever again be the same.”
About the Author
Captivated by the huge need of prisoners to be recognized for who they really are, Louise has been an advocate for prisoners for more than a decade. Originally from Detroit, she now resides in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula where she continues to try to find ways to be a prisoner advocate.
Notecards
Notecards are also available. These meet the standards that have been currently set by Michigan’s Department of Corrections. An “ID” box has been created on the back side of them in which to place the prisoner’s name and ID information along with the sender’s information. (They can also be ordered without this box.) The designs have been drawn by a prisoner. One set of 6 cards and envelopes can be ordered from Louise by e-mailing her at writeauthor@charter.net. Price of $10.00 includes tax and shipping.

I long for a kinder, gentler nation and world. I want to see HUMANITY shown toward man. I long to see open recognition of good works done, even small works. MSNBC Nightly News often devotes its last few minutes to a report on something uplifting. When I hear those reports, I feel good…and I want…
Hope
I’d wanted to write something profound to begin the new year…but profundity seems beyond me. Hope is uppermost in my mind. Hope for the future. As I read posts on Facebook and elsewhere, I am hopeful and encouraged by the number of words of encouragement. Indeed, everyone is tired – of the pandemic and the…
Where are the Leaders?
I miss my country. It has become unrecognizable. Rampant racism. Hatred from every corner. Violence, sadly, has become a household word. I grew up being proud of an immigrant history. Dogged determination and amazing craftsmanship were among the things I admired. Elected officials, while not always agreeing with one another, were civil, willing to have…
