Reverend Earl Smith shares the most important lessons he's learned from years of helping inmates discover God's plan for them.In 1983, twenty-seven-year-old Earl Smith arrived at San Quentin just like everyone thought he would. Labeled as a gang member and criminal from a young age, Smith was expected to do some time, but after a brush with death during a botched drug deal, Smith's soul was saved and his life path was altered forever. From that moment on, Smith knew God had an unusual mission for him, and he became the minister to the lost souls sitting on death row. For twenty-three years, Smith played chess with Charles Manson, witnessed twelve executions, and negotiated truces between rival gangs. But most importantly, Smith helped the prisoners of San Quentin find redemption, hope, and understand that it is still possible to find God's grace and mercy from behind bars. Edgy, insightful, and thought provoking, Death Row Chaplain teaches us that God's grace can reach anyone--even the most desperate and lost--and that it's never too late to turn our lives around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2325413\"\u003eEarl Smith\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10372982\"\u003eMark Schlabach\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476777788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476777780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC030000\"\u003ePenology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL109010\"\u003eChristian Ministry | Adult\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO018000\"\u003eReligious\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRev.
