Running to Prison

Christmas in a barn sound strange? How about Christmas in a prison? Or focus on this image, a guy in a bulky winter jacket sprinting down a snowy highway in eastern Oregon towards the razor wire walls of a prison on a crisp Christmas morning.

Don Everts, InterVarsity’s Colorado area director, explains why he decided to visit his brother on Christmas day in his book, i>God In The Flesh, published by InterVarsity Press. It was excerpted by Christianity Today magazine and appeared online last July.

The story will warm your heart, no matter how cold Christmas is where you live. And it’s a true story. Merry Christmas!
