"BEST MASTERPIECES: From Biblical Incarceration To COVID-19 " I was reading how Paul the Apostle wrote his best writings while locked up. Also, So you’re Marco Polo, and you’ve just spent 15 years traveling a world few people have seen. Upon your return to Italy in the late 13th century, you discover that there’s a war on between Venice and Genoa. You’re captured and tossed in jail simply because you’re a prominent Venetian. What do you do? You tell your story to your cellmate, who happens to be a writer, and who jots everything down in French and later publishes it. Debate rages as to how much imagination Polo added to his travels, but his stories remain an invaluable glimpse into a world erased by time. ( https://www.barnesandnoble.com/…/10-books-that-were-writte…/ ) I actually read that book in 6th grade! "Travels of Marco Polo." And then as mentioned above, The prison epistles—Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon—are so named because they were written by the apostle Paul during one of his incarcerations. It is generally accepted that Paul wrote the prison epistles during his first Roman imprisonment. The exact dates he wrote each of the prison epistles is unknown, but the two-year period he spent under house arrest in Rome has been narrowed down to the years AD 60–62. Paul’s imprisonment in Rome is verified by the book of Acts, where we find references to his being guarded by soldiers (Acts 28:16), being permitted to receive visitors (Acts 28:30), and having opportunities to share the gospel (Acts 28:31). These details, along with Paul’s mention of being with “those who belong to Caesar’s household” (Philippians 4:22), support the view that Paul wrote the prison epistles from Rome. Paul’s Roman incarceration produced three great letters to the churches of Ephesus, Colosse, and Philippi, as well as a personal letter to his friend Philemon.( https://www.gotquestions.org/prison-epistles.html ) Then there's a modern public figure today who I have spoken with personally over the phone and through email a few times beginning around 1990 (before email). His name is, Randall Terry, founder and first President of Operation Rescue. I have still yet to meet him in person, but I consider him a friend. Look him up. He wrote several books and I have all of them as he actually mailed them to me a few years ago. At least one of them was when he was in jail, ( Why Does A Nice Guy Like Me... Keep Getting Thrown In Jail?: How theological escapism and cultural retreatism in the Church have led to America's demise. (1993) ,) falsely imprisoned by the Wichita police illegally using the Rico Act as a mechanism to imprison him for peacefully protesting abortion facilities during the Wichita abortion protests during Bill Clinton's first term in the early 1990's. He was later released and his criminal record cleared. And finally, I even wrote a book when I was suddenly handed a bunch of time to gather all my most pertinent writings and ideas I have stored up in my memory over a period of 26 years. My time was from losing my job of seven years due to my employer losing a contract, and I was forced to be on unemployment for 6 months. I wrote, "Making America Righteous-Again: From Bitterness To A Delight." During my time unemployed, I searched high and low for several months for employment, but I also had the time to compile my book on kindle's Amazon website and put together my book into e-form. And it was released on the very first day of 2016! And from then on I had begun my many temporary and part time jobs up until just a year ago, finally becoming permanent full time in a job I currently have, machine operation for a top tier, cutting edge Italian company making all various kinds of the best salami you'll ever eat. But back to books, while writing, the thought occurred to me to make an...
