Cary White, one of the first graduates of the Prisoners to Pastors program (a joint effort between Prison Fellowship and World Impact), has released a new book for Christians considering entering full-time ministry.
The book, Spiritual Foundations of the Christian Worker: The Life of Timothy Curriculum (Volume 1), is intended as a workbook for individual or group study. “This workbook is not an easy task to complete,” says Cary, “and it is my opinion that anyone who takes the task upon themselves will be transformed and convicted to walk a life of purity and holiness that is fitting of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Prisoners to Pastors is a four-year seminary-level training program in Christian leadership. It offers former lawbreakers the chance to become leaders of the Church behind bars and after they return to the community.
A World magazine article from last April tells more about Cary and his path into and out of prison. To hear Cary’s story in his own words, check out the video of his address to an audience at the Ronald Reagan Library in 2011.
