How does a holy God associate with paedophiles, murderers, drug addicts, alcoholics and others rejected by mainstream society? This book is a product of many years working with and in some cases befriending the most despised people in society, prisoners. It addresses questions such as: Why do some people end up in prison? Do they just wake up one morning and think: `I am going to rob a bank today'? What happens when they get to prison? How do they cope with the violence? Is rehabilitation a realistic expectation? How can victims of crime be helped and supported?
Paul Gill has worked as an Anglican Minister in Australia and England. He has spent most of his ministry working in places where the majority of the population live in challenging economic and social circumstances. This included ten years working as a prison chaplain in maximum security prisons. These years of prison ministry were the most satisfying of his working life. `I always felt I was engaging with people about things that really mattered.' He and his wife, Anne, currently live In Hereford, UK
