After my release from prison, I realized that I still had some of my "before Christ" vices—bad habits from before I accepted Jesus. I needed a holy makeover! On the top of my list was my addiction to cigarettes. Not only were they killing me, but the secondhand smoke was bad for my little girls. So, I made it my New Year's resolution to quit. But how I was going to accomplish this, I had no idea. I had tried before and failed.
Little did I know this time would be different, with the Holy Spirit now guiding me and giving me the strength to overcome. In my new life as a Christian, I spent a lot of time at church attending women’s Bible studies, children’s programs, and Sunday services. There, we sometimes talked about surrendering control—"letting go and letting God."
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.
