Inside the Prisons - Lady of Light
It is so easy for us on the "outside" to forget that life goes on inside the prisons. Even in bible times, the apostle Paul and others were imprisoned.
The other day, the NY times printed an article about a man whose religious news from his mother was being censored to the point where it was "unreadable" and after several organizations and individuals got involved, he was able to receive this religious mail.
So I became aware of an organization called Christian Library International which is located in Raleigh, North Carolina that is transforming the lives of prisoners by sending donated books to chaplains of prisons for distribution. Apparently this has been very successful and they have been receiving many testimonials. This is good news that I thought worthy to share.
If you are doing fall cleaning and want to donate books or want to start a book drive, contact them on the web. There blog is at http://cli-nc.blogspot.com.
This is some news to make a difference. Have a great day!
