Originally designed as a gift book with special graphics and numerous color images, this book started as Chapter 3 of Repurposing Scars. Now it is a stand-alone book with added content, images, and text. Buy one for your pastor, chaplain, graduate student, or other minister or caregiver! Currently, Jubilee Prison Ministryis giving this book to participants in all their events!
This book was a dozen years in the making, starting with my human research at Harris County Jail in Houston from 2009–2012 for my doctoral dissertation. I'm calling it a one-stop shop for caregivers dealing with emotional and psychological damage. I coined the term "scar theology" based on Jesus' surviving scars at his resurrection.
CURRENT ATTRACTIONS:
As of September 2025, all 12 lessons of my Family Systems curriculum have been studio recorded and posted on both the Pando App for inmate tablets around the country, and YouTube for families of inmates and other free world persons and groups! The series is complete!
For a limited time, we are offering FREE workbooks to the first 100 inmates who request them! As more funding becomes available, our goal is to make this a permanent offer nationwide! Please consider supporting this invaluable resource for inmates and their families See the LTTL Logo below for easy instructions!
We are encouraging families of inmates to purchase two copies of the Student Workbook in order to study the material along with their incarcerated loved ones. Both can watch the same videos and follow along in the workbooks. Search for "When Jesus Meets Your Scars" on both platforms.
The next main menu, "VIDEOS" has YouTube links to all the currently uploaded videos!
The above is being made possible by the amazing Less than the Least Ministry, led by the amazing Executive Director, Bill Everts and his equally amazing wife, Stephanie!
Prayer request for TDCJ to accept the curriculum and help make it available, first to all female inmates in Texas, and eventually to every inmate in the state!
Stay tuned for more updates!

Presenting a writing workshop to students in Houston Graduate School of Theology's new program, Doctor of Professional Counseling (DPC).
This is the Student Workbook for my curriculum. Currently, all classes have been studio recorded (see "CURRENT ATTRACTIONS" to the right). The videos are intended for both students and their families to watch, and then follow the workbook that has more detail. By involving both inmates and their family members, they can study, learn, grow, and heal together!

Similar to "The Dog Whisperer" TV show,
we rehabilitate documents and train writers!
The vast majority of our clients had never tried a professional editor before, yet virtually all of them later wrote generous testimonies about our service, and they couldn't have been more appreciative.
