"Glimpses of Grace" relates the joys and challenges of a prison
chaplain through a series of one-page vignettes. The open-ended
stories are written with a pastor's heart that seeks to minister to
the needs and hopes of offenders who have committed serious crimes.
The book takes the reader from opportunities of pastoral care to
issues of relationships, authority, and restorative justice. The
author explores the challenges of ecumenism and inter-faith
dialogue while remaining true to his Christian faith. He looks at
ministry from the perspective of volunteers and writes about how
staff can be an ally in corrections. He regards offenders as
subjects who define the nature of the pastoral
relationship.Donald's high view of ecclesiology and solid
theological background give this book a unique perspective. Don
regards the chapel community as a natural extension of the visible
body of Jesus Christ of which the larger church is a part. Don
considers how offenders' experiences and other faiths can make one
a more devout believer. The profound experiences of the "other"
make one look more deeply into the resources of one's own faith.
