Prisoner Of Hope' is a sequel to 'Too Tough For Tears,' in which Barry Goode's total transformation from a habitual criminal to Pastor/Prison Chaplain is told. It is a difficult transition, from prisoner to free man, overcoming a lifetime's worth of habits, insecurities and abuses. We are witness to a total catharsis of spirituality, values and lifestyle. A change from an antisocial, outcast individual to a deeply religious and evangelical man. The book recounts a hard, difficult journey to a destination not easily arrived at. The extent of the author's commitment is demonstrated in his need to resolve an 18 year old open warrant hanging over his head. The decision, to face this charge, is made with his acceptance of the great potential risk involved. This is an inspirational story of a man giving back to society, a man who previously had only stolen from it. It is an inspirational tale of an individual preaching and offering possibilities to those who have lost all hope.
