This true story best describes how a preacher dad felt about his preacher son going to a federal penitentiary for a crime that was unnecessary. It resulted in a disagreement with his church on a certain issue. This injustice turned into a miraculous outcome.

As a father, it was my privilege to write to my son with words of encouragement every week while he was incarcerated. I call them prison letters.

Mark was told [ASI1] that he would never serve God again because “you have a tainted past and you are damaged goods.”

God turned impossibility into a possibility. He has forgiven his accusers and shares how it is possible to overcome.

Praise for Preacher Dad to Preacher Son

“He writes from a father’s perspective about an unnecessary tragedy imposed on his son. Light always overcomes darkness! You need to read this book.”

“Jim Lancaster, Sr. opens his heart to reveal the pain of a life taking an unexpected turn. You will be encouraged and blessed as you read.”
