Letters from Prison

Tom Bird entered prison on August 30, 1984 after suffering the degradation of a jury trial, and the condemnation of a town, and many in his own church.  Yet, he still wore the marks of a man called by God to the ministry.

Tom purposed to serve God while in prison, though wrongfully convicted.  How he dealt with this is revealed in the letters he exchanged with Pastor Ken Kothe.

Now these letters are assembled and presented to inspire and challenge readers.
