Donald Stoesz is an ordained Mennonite minister who has worked for over thirty years as a Protestant/site-based chaplain in federal correction facilities in Quebec and Alberta. His years of experience at all levels of security, with a diverse religious population of offenders, and as community reintegration chaplain have provided, together with Hank Dixon, the wherewithal of resources to write such a book.
Stoesz' previous works include a series of one hundred pastoral vignettes (Glimpses of Grace: Reflections of a Prison Chaplain, Friesen Press, 2010), and a theology of prison ministry (Magic of Fiction in Illuminating Transformation, Friesen Press, 2020). Stoesz has recently developed an on-line prison chaplaincy course for Ambrose University, Calgary, Alberta.
Hank Dixon is in the process of writing a book entitled, Reflections on Prison Chaplaincy: A Lifer's Journey. He works as Program Director at Initiatives for Just Communities - Open Circle in Manitoba.
