Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is this man? Josu is locked up in Shalem State Prison, a maximum-security institution. He had never attracted much attention to himself before, and was content to just "do his own time." But then something happened to him; and now, he's on a mission to share it. "Man, I ain't never heard nothin' like this guy!" exclaims Jamal, one of the twelve prisoners that Josu has appointed to be his "Reps," and to share the Word about his message with the other prisoners. Josu freely gives of himself, praying for the healing of the many troubled people who flock to him, and telling them stories about the "New Order" that God is going to establish very soon. But the authority figures in the prison can't stand this arrogant challenger to their own power. They try to embarrass Josu publicly, and fail utterly. But then, when one of Josu's own followers offers to turn on him, betrayal and greed lead to a violent climax. Does this story sound familiar? Then come and read an all too well-known tale told in a fresh, exciting way and maybe see some things in the story that you'd never noticed before.
