Joseph Adeyemi

Started reading in a prison library.

I started reading the Bible in a prison library, because it was the thickest book there and I had eighteen months to fill.

A man from Northgate Chapel had been writing to me, and when I wrote back with questions he answered every one. When I got out, he was waiting at the gate with a coffee.

I have a job now and a flat of my own. I still read every morning, and on the first Saturday of the month I go back inside with the visiting team.

What I would say to someone thinking about coming

It does not matter where you have been. The door is open.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105
