	Jens Soering One Day in the Life of 179212 To a correctional facility in Virginia he is known as Prisoner 179212. But to a legion of journalists and legal reform activists he is Jens Soering, a German citizen who has endured for the past twenty-five years the harshest and most unforgiving punishment this country can offer—a life sentence without realistic hope of release, which some refer to as "the other death penalty." Although this inspiring memoir recounts just a day in the life of one man, it provides a powerful voice for the over two million men and women lost in the maze of America's prison-industrial complex. Chapter One: 4:20 a.m. Kindle download

	Jens Soering The Church of the Second Chance In his fourth book, Jens Soering demonstrates that, despite committing or abetting theft, murder, and even terrorism, figures like Adam and Eve, Samson, and Paul were raised to places of honor in what we might call the Church of the Second Chance. In fact, the stories of these biblical outlaws contain the clues to solving a social crisis that has been building for over thirty years: the problem of America’s prisons.

	Fr. Murchadh O Madagain Centering Prayer and the Healing of the Unconscious Fr. Murchadh Fr.
