In Radical Love in a Broken World, you can read the amazing story of how these radical believers dared to make a difference in a very broken world. With short chapters and numerous brief encounters with prisoners all around the world, Nikkel paints a poignant picture of how broken this world can be, and how radical, Christian love can make a difference in amazing and powerful ways.
Speaking of the story Ron tells in this book, he says:
"In more recent years I had taken a small risk of faith by becoming involved with Prison Fellowship International, and for some reason I found myself increasingly captivated by the examples of men and women who, even amid extreme difficulty and danger, followed Jesus in the way of justice, mercy, and truth regardless of personal cost and threat of opposition. That's why I am here, I remembered. The people I had come to see were daily risking their lives reaching out to petty criminals and terrorists and helping their families in the name of Jesus."
