Beyond Prison - William Kenneth Sansing - Bog

Bag om Beyond Prison

Beyond Prison: Finding Second Chances through Grace, Resilience, and Community recounts William Sansing's journey from an upstanding, church-going citizen to a three-year stint in prison to a licensed counselor, educator, and prison reform advocate. Juxtaposing stories of early religious life experiences against those of the unlikely community he found in prison, the author finds the true meaning of acceptance, grace, and resilience. In this book, you will learn:How work, leisure time, service opportunities, and spiritual protections are important for everyone to thrive The importance of community for those who are healing from prison time and other traumas How advocacy refined the author's understanding of the connection between trauma and addiction How working alongside people with disabilities and volunteering to assist people in Northern Africa deepened his understanding of healing through community How a chance interaction with an old childhood friend planted the seeds for this book, which will serve as a guide for community leaders to develop the environment and culture necessary for true healing in their corners of the world While governments and other powerful entities spend astronomical resources trying to solve social ills, Sansing explains how judgment and shame-free communities may be all we need to bring about the society we seek. This book will motivate readers to implement personal and community-based solutions to encourage vulnerability, lasting positive change, and second chances.
