    I have some exciting news!  A Prisoner’s Pardon children’s book is coming out in two weeks just in time for Christmas. It’s called Pharoah’s Butler and Baker. It’s written for kids but has a message for all ages and that is to Rest Your Case on Grace. If you know the biblical account in Genesis, it’s based on the actual case of Joseph when he was imprisoned and interpreted the dreams of both the butler and the baker who were also in prison and tells the outcome of both their cases. 




    The reason for this book is to encourage fathers especially those who are or have been in prison to read to their children. A father bonding with their children is critical and the most important thing a father can do in life. This is just what I allude to in my upcoming memoir book A Prisoner’s Pardon. It’s one of the findings at least to the cause of why we have such a high rate of recidivism. It is also based on this case of Pharaoh’s Butler and Baker. 


    We don’t just talk about solutions, we here at A Prisoner’s Pardon take part bringing about the solution. The book A Prisoner’s Pardon is due out in Spring 2023 and let’s just say you will be amazed at the reasons and solution to recidivism. 




    If you haven’t already, please sign up for email. Sign up today at prisonerspardon.com. We will send out the link for purchase when it is available.

About Prisoner's Pardon

From the publisher's feed

A Prisoner’s Pardon, through storytelling, describes how prisoners are set free from physical and/or spiritual prisons (ex. Domestic & Drug Abuse) only via a pardon and not a reform program.
