Growing up on the streets of Baltimore was not an easy task for William. He witnessed many acts of violence against his friends and endured pain and suffering due to losing quite a few family members to violence. William soon became a victim to this harsh environment. He believed that in order for him to survive he himself had to become a part of this violent society. William spent numerous years in and out of jails and prisons. Although he was labeled a criminal and considered a nonproductive person in society, he never gave up on the voice inside of his head that was telling him he could be a better person.
One day during William's incarceration he decided to have a deep conversation with the prison chaplain. He knocked on the chaplain's door and was quickly invited inside. William asked the chaplain if he could tell him how to straighten out his life. The chaplain opened his bible and read a scripture that said 'greater is He that is within me than he that is within the world.' William looked confused and asked the chaplain what the scripture meant. The chaplain told William that he had the potential to do anything that he wanted to do, through the help of Jesus Christ. The chaplain went on to explain that William had the option of living in and out of institutions and jails for the rest of his life, or giving his life to Christ and becoming a productive member of society.
William understood that giving his life to Christ would be necessary in order to achieve his goals in life. He immediately confessed his sins and gave his life to Christ. Through church and Bible study God gave him a new love for life, others around him, and most importantly himself. Through the teachings of Christ his eyes were opened to the horrific conditions of prison and crime in his community. That's when God laid it upon his heart to write The Ten Prison Commandments.vizualizați mai puține
