Inhaltsangabe

Inside Out offers a solution when the souls of men, in this case, of incarcerated men, are at stake. As higher education faces waves of criticism—a lack of demonstrated value, not holding its worth as an investment, and being a costly waste of student time—the personal stories of students in this book offer a solid rebuttal. Through personal narratives, this collection displays Christian higher education’s greater purpose in equipping the hearts of incarcerated men.

This book reveals a compelling case for how transformative learning challenges students from the inside out. In a compelling display of character, hope, and inspiration, the blend of student voices shares less about their crimes and more about their transformation. Inside Out demonstrates soul work in higher education. Faculty will learn strategies for teaching from student perspectives. Future students will be inspired to undertake their own personal learning journeys. All audiences, particularly people of faith, will be nudged to nurture their own spiritual walk.
