Overview
How do we help those who have chosen the wrong path in life? We often end up supporting people who, for a variety of reasons, make poor choices resulting in a troubled life or even prison. This book is to help you as you provide support and encouragement for people who want a new start. One Mile to Make a Difference is the story of three particular journeys. Simeon’s own story and how he ended up as a ‘through-the-gate prison chaplain, stories of some of those women who have left prison to find a new life, and finally Jesus’ example of journeying with people who appear to be going in the wrong direction, on the Emmaus Road . It challenges us not only to look at how we can support those around but also how we can get the support we need when we, too, walk on the wrong path.Author Bio
