An ideal read for all who desire to learn more of how God saves people in prison and how God used people in prison in biblical times

In demonstrating the power of the gospel to 'set the prisoners free', this book makes no extravagant or exaggerated claims.

Beyond Barsis a real eye-opener, giving glimpses of robbers and rapists, murderers and violent thugs, as well as illegal immigrants and others guilty of 'white collar crimes'. Read of prisoners gladly accepting Christian literature, hardened criminals listening attentively to the gospel, and some prisoners being transformed by the power of the gospel and going on to lead reformed lives that demonstrate the biblical truth that 'if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come'. Read also of the heartache of seeing those believed to have been converted to Christ not going on with God. At one point the author asks, 'How involved is the Christian church in prison and prisoners?' The story of this prison work points to ways in which many could respond to the challenge.
