Book reviews by inmates, for other inmates, their families, and friends. Are we alone in this world? Is there anything more for our souls than what we see in front of us? Dr. Weiss works to answer these questions while helping us deal with our current anxieties, fears, sorrow, and pains.

As an inmate so often our lives are filled with the thoughts that we have no one to help us. We begin to feel that perhaps the world doesn’t care if we even exist. A feeling our souls are lost in a realm of being forgotten. In Many Lives, Many Masters, we are shown that our souls are always being cared for and we have the chance to improve ourselves at all times...
