It tells the story of children of inmates, their families as well as those who minister to them and of the divine plan them brought them together.
Dr. Green, the author, first encountered prison ministry when he went with his minister father to minister in local prisons after church services on Sunday afternoon. As a sergeant in the Korean war, he saw the urgent need for prison chaplains for both the Americans, as well as the Koreans. Upon returning home he attended Stetson University in Deland, Florida. Then pursued further education in Berkeley, California at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary leading to his doctorate.
After serving as Chaplain at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, he entered the local church ministry. He served churches in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Nevada and California. This ultimately led to the prison chaplaincy at San Quentin and finally ended at High Desert State Prison in Susanville, California. He was the first chaplain employed at this new prison. He served there until he retired to live on the banks of Florida’s beautiful Suwannee Riverview less
