Last night, sitting with Barry in my office, I was stunned at how remarkably well-adjusted he seems to be. And I loved hearing about how he decided to spend time working on himself… he would put his TV under his bed during the basketball and football seasons (he loves sports), so he wouldn’t be tempted to spend all his time watching games—choosing instead to read books. His favorite book that he read while in prison is Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search For Ultimate Meaning.”
My sense is that Barry is incredibly unique – not your typical story of a convicted felon being released from prison.

He could have been massively institutionalized or had severe PTSD, but instead he is out spreading the Gospel and sharing his story. Wow! Good stuff – good God. Side note : I saw the words cops & convicted felons come across my email in you title and was like, “This should be right up my alley!”
