" Let Christ do His work in the darkest hearts of those so enmeshed in deceit and manipulation and horror around which the rest of us can’t even wrap our heads. The Church should certainly make sure they have all the cigarettes and socks they’ll ever need or want for the duration of their time in prison."

AMEN TO THAT!  Forgiveness does NOT mean that they can break the law and get away with it.  

I will be passing on this article and, if he wants to read it, your book to my pastor.  I would love to have you speak to our congregation...and we have the best safeguards in place for our kids, but these charlatans manage to get past those anyway.  If I had my way, they would all be sent to the desert where it is a 2-week walk in any direction and just do bread and water drops by helicopter once a month.
