My Search for Ancient Wisdom: One Prisoner's Journey of Transformation

More about the book

"In what may seem an unlikely pairing, Rev. Dr. Mary E. Mitchell and Dr. Michael J. Nichols share more than a decade of correspondence focused on spirituality in the harsh setting of a Missouri maximum-security prison. Mitchell, an ordained Centers for Spiritual Living minister, and Nichols, a felon sentenced to life without parole, share letters remarkable in their candor and insightful in the possibilities inherent in every soul. If the central question of American jurisprudence is whether criminals can be rehabilitated, then these letters demonstrating Nichols's own search for spiritual wisdom offer a resounding yes."--Back cover
