Behind Fences: A Prison Chaplain’s Story Book by Nelson and Esther Zeiset

When Nelson Zieset was twelve years old, he sensed that God was calling him to a life of ministry, bringing the Good News to prison inmates. This call led the Lancaster County Mennonite boy to a thirty-three year chaplaincy career in seven different prisons and two states. In Behind Fences, Nelson and his wife, Esther, recall the up and downs from their years of service— the 1980’s AIDs hysteria, lawsuits, and a prison riot that nearly ended their ministry. Rejoice with them as they watch the prison church grow and racial walls crumble, and broken men find healing in Jesus.
