{"product_id":"love-in-action-geraets-truus-geraets-9781426926686","title":"Love in Action: Perspectives of the Prison System in America from Both Sides of the Walls","description":"When Truus Geraets meets Dawud at the Jackson Prison in Michigan in 1979, he has already served ten years of his sentence. But the two feel an immediate connection; they rejoice in the fact that fate has brought two people of such different backgrounds and circumstances together-Dawud in a prison in America, having grown up in a dysfunctional family, and Truus Geraets, born and raised in the Netherlands in a family guided by spiritual principles.\u003cp\u003e In Love in Action, the author speaks frankly about the reality of waiting for thirty years for a true soul mate who spends most of those years in prison. She tells of her personal engagement in his transformational process from a career criminal into a person who has a burning desire to give back to society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dawud's letters to Truus present the true essence of what it means to be an \"inmate\" and a \"number.\" In addition, Geraets exposes the disaster of a prison system in America which incarcerates more people than any other country in the world. Love in Action demonstrates that true transformation is possible and communicates hope instead of fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geraets Truus Geraets, Truus Geraets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426926685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426926686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.53d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geraets Truus Geraets","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365214318847,"sku":"9781426926686","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71bae6d1-c946-4021-a32d-3596b05b40c5.jpg?v=1697057263","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-in-action-geraets-truus-geraets-9781426926686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
