Write Stuff - Interview of Rev. Mary Mitchell Nov. 17, 8 pm

Because of technical difficulties at the station we couldn’t broadcast this show last month.  Write Stuff will air this interview once more on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8 PM.  My sincere apologies to both the Reverend Mary Mitchell and anyone who couldn’t tune in last month. – Jim Dowling

My guest on Write Stuff will be the Reverend Mary Mitchell. In this interview, Mary and I will discuss her book, My Search For Ancient Wisdom – One Prisoner’s Journey of Transformation. The book is a collaboration between Mary and Michael J. Nichols, an African American man serving life behind bars in Missouri . The two have corresponded for over 13 years and this book is a compilation of their letters. They document Michael’s personal struggles in a dark and seemingly hopeless place. Over time, the many letters bear witness to a gradual transformation from embittered prisoner to an enlightened and respected mentor for others serving time behind bars. The book is a thoughtful, inspiring and powerful read.
