Product Description Robbed and shot at ATM. Craving revenge. Bill Dyer was locked up in anger, hatred, and resentment. Then a miracle happened. God led Bill out of darkness and into prison for unfinished business. In Doing Time With God, one of the page turning Christian inspirational books about hope and encouragement, you go into prison with Bill and other victims of violence to meet with convicted felons who will be facing their worst and greatest realizations. If you enjoy Christian inspirational books about healing after loss, you can imagine that nothing is predictable when this unlikely group comes together to share their stories with one another for healing, rehabilitation and Peace. While sharing their stories of faith and courage, victim-survivors remember their losses and feel their pain. Offenders come face-to-face with the hurt they have caused, and open wounds from their own past. Walls of defensiveness and fear are knocked down by empathy and compassion, vulnerability and tears. Raw emotions flow. As with other books about healing from trauma, the way to peace is often intense, turbulent, and heartbreaking. Even when it’s not pretty, the journey is beautiful in its honesty… miraculous in the way it unfolds…divine in how it transforms lives. This Amazing Process Opens the Heart, Touches the Soul, and Renews the Mind Like other Christian testimony books, true story impact and meaning will touch you in such a way that you will experience these things happening in yourself. Discussion questions and an afterword by the author invite you to reflect on your own spiritual journey, discover new meaning, and expand this movement of Peace in your life.

It is a wake-up call. ”Sr. Helen Prejean, csj , Author of DEAD MAN WALKING From the Inside Flap "A beautiful testimony of how our shared-life in God is renewed through story. It shows the reconciling power of God's love in our openness and vulnerability -- the way to Peace. If you want to see who we are created to be for one another, read this book. It is a wake-up call." - Sr. Helen Prejean, csj, Author of DEAD MAN WALKING "Restorative justice is, simultaneously, an ancient way of healing individuals and community, and at the cutting edge of the intersection between faith and justice. Doing Time with God and Bill Dyer are right at that edge." - Allison DeFoor, Episcopal priest in prisons, lawyer and former judge and sheriff "As a victim of domestic violence, a mother whose son has spent time behind bars, and someone whose best-friend/step-sister was violently murdered, my life-mission is to reduce crime. Healing is a vital part of that process. I love these stories for how they affirm God's healing power that perpetrators and I experience together, when I share my story in prisons." - Katherine Burns, Director of a Re-entry Center for ex-offenders "Bill Dyer peels back the layers of humanity as he shares these gripping stories. He provides a compelling glimpse of the struggle with forgiveness and redemption, the breaking down of cultural stereotypes, and the collision of emotions between victims of crime and those who inflict the pain. The presence of a loving, nurturing, and persistent God weaves its way through each page-turning account of how lives are changed by Faith. I highly recommend this book; especially to anyone who believes the redemption of God has human limitations." - Joseph Pryor, Assistant Warden; Chief Chaplain, Federal Bureau of Prisons (retired) "At a time when our nation spends more money locking people up in prisons and jails than rehabilitating and educating them, and when more and more prisons are profit-making ventures, this challenges us to remember God's awesome power in finding the lost, healing the sick, and turning people's lives around.
