Prison Ministry in COVID America: The New Normal for Effective Spiritual and Social Justice for Today's Incarcerated

In today's postmodern COVID world with Millennial needs clashing with traditional church ministry practices and paradigms, Maraschiello puts forth various new approaches for effective prison ministry involvement, and explains the need for meaningful mentorship and sponsorship of youthful and adult offenders in trouble with the law by taking an active part in becoming not just a friend but rather a modern-day pimpernel and "life coach" instead. Not just preaching the Word of God to the "least ones," but showing them Christ's love through witnessing true discipleship in action for today's incarcerated specifically uplifting their social and economic condition for their successful transformation and return to thrive - not just survive -- in society.
