INMATE 46857 sat on his prison cot at Parchman Penitentiary in 1982
fingering his homemade knife and contemplating murdering two fellow
inmates just to strengthen his tough reputation. As the
nineteen-year-old convict visualized himself stabbing his intended
victims, God intervened and provided deliverance. The encounter
took only a moment, but getting there had taken a lifetime.
Instantly, all the years of anger and rejection flashed before
Eddie Spencer's eyes. As memories flooded back, Inmate 46857 felt
the pain and poverty of his childhood. He pictured himself the
morning his only pair of shoes had fallen apart and his mother sent
him to school wearing his sister's shoes. As Eddie stepped into his
first grade classroom, his classmates taunted him, "Look at Eddie
Spencer. He's got little-girl shoes on " Humiliation and revenge
gripped his young mind, launching him on a journey of crime and
violence in the streets of the Mississippi Delta Finally, Eddie
recalled the night he slipped into a house, pointed a gun at a
sleeping man's face and demanded, "Give me all your money " His
victim handed over the cash, but he also spoke some amazing words
that Eddie would never forget. As the words replayed in his head,
Inmate 46857 knew exactly what he must do. He put away his "shank"
and made the choice that changed his heart.
