<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThrough our partnership with Prison Fellowship<\/a> we have been able to get The Life Recovery Bible<\/a> <\/em>into the hands of thousands of prisoners like Crystal who are in prison but hunger for the hope in God\u2019s Word. At no charge to the prisoner they are able to receive a special edition Life Recovery Bible <\/em>in English or Spanish through the Prison Fellowship ministry. Many of these men and women have been enslaved by addiction. Whether it\u2019s an illegal substance, power, money, or something else, that desire is overwhelming and they\u2019ve risked everything while in its deadly grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But God\u2019s Word is a bondage breaker! Through his grace and\nsaving blood we are no longer slaves. The Bible is filled with stories of\npeople who needed second chances. We all have times when we have struggled and\nneeded God to forgive us and allow us to start again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo not let any part of your body become an instrument of\nevil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were\ndead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do\nwhat is right for the glory of God\u201d (Romans 6:13, NLT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples of people who have found new life while reading The Life Recovery Bible<\/a><\/em> and are living out the transforming power of God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Delivered from the Sting of Spiritual Death<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bound by sin, my life\na mess. A slave to drugs that\nkept me in chains. That list hit of dope\nshould have been the final blow. I ended up in prison.\nIt should have been the end. I found true love\nfrom my Creator and Lord. This might sound\nstrange but take it from me. \u201cI was in a long, deep prayer to God. It was a very difficult day, and I was praying for comfort, for strength, just crying out to my Abba Father. I asked him to fill me with his Holy Spirit. With my eyes still puffy and red from crying, my heart still bleeding and aching, I saw an officer come to my cell door and place a new Life Recovery Bible<\/em><\/a> <\/em>in my hands. God heard me. He came to me. He held me. He showered me with His great, powerful, sovereign love. God always knows what we need when we need it.\u201d \u2013Melody<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI put my Bible to good use every day. I spread the seeds of God\u2019s Word and even started a small group of believers. We get together and love to read God\u2019s Word daily. Thanks to the powerful notes and information in The Life Recovery Bible<\/a><\/em>,we\u2019re able to have a better understanding of the Bible.\u201d \u2013Tylor<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out how you can get involved with Prison Fellowship<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/09\/Chains-over-water.jpg\")

\nTaken by trials, I failed the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSmoking and shooting was burning my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBut because of God\u2019s love, mercy said \u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThen God sent me Jesus, my heart He will mend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSo I walk with him, my Helmet, Breastplate, and Sword<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI had to come to prison so I could be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/04\/LRB-Special-Prison-Edition-e1582232824587.png\")
