After Her Son Went to Prison, Tara Craved Hope
Tara feared for his safety. And kept thinking, "There has to be a better way."
I’m a wife, a mom, and native Tennessean. For 20 years, I’ve been a registered nurse working in women’s and children’s health—I love to help people and children. And I believe that I can’t keep all the hard parts of my life a secret when they can help others.
In 2017, my son Will was sentenced to prison. It wasn’t the first time he’d been in trouble with the law. However, this time, he was charged with manufacturing methamphetamines, among other things. He was in his early 20s facing 12 years behind bars. So, I thought, “Maybe this will be the thing that gets his attention.”
The experience got my attention, too. Will’s incarceration was different than anything we'd ever encountered as a family. I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I had heard that violence and understaffing could make prison a difficult place to be. And now, my son was there.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
Chuck Colson was a popular and widely known author, speaker, and radio commentator. A former presidential aide to Richard Nixon and founder of the international ministry Prison Fellowship, he wrote several books that have shaped Christian thinking on a variety of subjects, including Born Again , Loving God , How Now Shall We Live? , The Good Life , and The Faith . His radio broadcast, BreakPoint, at one point aired to two million listeners. Chuck Colson donated all of his royalties, awards, and speaking fees to Prison Fellowship Ministries.
If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

Take a look at what type of a blog it is here
The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
