About this ebook
Chaplain Larry Briggs
Chaplain Larry Briggs lives and currently ministers in Chester, Virginia. He was born in Andalusia, Alabama. After serving a tour of duty in the Navy, he entered Southeastern College in Lakeland, Florida to prepare for the call to the ministry that God had put in his heart. During his first year he met and married Sara Jane McCarter of Clover, South Carolina who also had come to Southeastern to prepare for the ministry. For the past forty two years they have partnered together in ministry to churches in the southeast. They have also been privileged to minister in Evangelistic/Revival services throughout the United States, the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. They have three sons, who are married and serving the Lord. They have ten wonderful grandchildren. In March of 2004 God initiated a major change in their ministry. Pastor Briggs transitioned to Chaplain Briggs as he submitted to the direction of the Holy Spirit by accepting a position at the Riverside Regional Jail in Prince George County, Virginia. He continues to serve as the Senior Chaplain and Faith Based Programs Case Manager. Riverside is a regional jail in South Central Virginia that serves the seven surrounding jurisdictions with an average daily count of 1300 inmates. It was here that Chaplain Briggs was introduced to the epidemic of crime and the profound effect that it has on individuals and families in America. Currently it is estimated that one out of every thirty one persons are incarcerated in America. In 2009 for the first time in our history, over 2 million individuals are being supervised behind jail/prison bars in our country. The economic, social, and emotional ramifications are staggering. All of us are effected in one way or the other by this ever-growing dilemma. And to further the heartbreak, for every inmate currently doing time, there are thousands of others living on the outside behind invisible bars of self-made prisons due to addictive behaviors. It is with this burden, Chaplain Briggs felt instructed to publish, Free Indeed! The Biblical principles taught in this work-shop were birthed in his heart and presented through Life Skill Seminars to the inmates serving where he ministers. He has witnessed many radical conversions and totally changed lives from some of the individuals who choose to participate in these sessions. This self-journey work-shop can be a powerful tool for anyone struggling with a life controlling addiction. By adhering to these basic, yet very practical truths, true freedom can be experienced. One truth that Chaplain Briggs has learned these past eight years is the fact that no barb wire, cement walls, nor steel bars can keep out the all-powerful love of God demonstrated through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
