You will find my true story emotional, inspiring, and yet shocking. Prison is not a place anyone wants to be.  My husband Chris, can attest to that.  He is now on his 33rd year behind those walls of dispair, and broken dreams.

 I met him 26 years ago in 1985, during his incarceraton.  Our lives have been on a roller coaster ever since.  The first 15 years of our lives together were filled with many emotions.  

He was a master manuplitator, user, and womaizer when I met him, although he never let me see that side of him at first.  But when I did realize all these things, I had already fallen in love with him.

But in my heart I knew God could and would change him.  So for many years I went through much pain with a broken heart.  I woudn't give up, and I "knew" God wouldn't give up either.

I am so very thankful I obeyed the Lord, Chris has made a marvelous change, and only God could do it.  He is still incarcerated, but we join our worlds the best we can...

You will not regret reading this story..God Bless

My name is Dutchess Taylor, author of "The Devil's Playground."  Below you will read a letter writen by my husband, Walter (Chris) Taylor; an account of what recently has taken place in his life, while incarcerated...it inspired him to write his latest book: "Women of Faith: God's Word."
 
*************************************************************************
 
Dear Readers,
Years ago I was so full of pain, and confusion.  I didn't trust anyone, nor have real love for those around me.  I lived as an animal with no heart or compassion for anyone, because I felt that no one had compassion or love for me.  This loneliness and pain caused me to commit a crime that sent me to prison for over 34 years,  A place I felt at the time where I belonged.  I was surrounded by the same kind of animals that I felt that I was.
 
But I learned through God's love, grace and mercy that I was wrong.  I learned that God loved me so much that He sent an angel into my world to help save me.  At first, I couldn't believe that anyone in their right mind could love someone like me.  But God and my wife, Pearl Dutchess Taylor did.  Then after accepting their love and learning how to love myself, I was able to open other doors in my heart, and allow others, such as my family and children in.  Now we're all enjoying the beautiful love God had given to us to share with one another.
 
Years had passed since that door to God and His love has opened.  My wife and I wrote a book about our lives and how God turned us around and put us back on His righteous path towards His loving kingdom.  My wife has stood by me for 27 years under these prison conditions, a task that was not easy by any means.  But God promised her that I would change, and I did just that.  I changed into a loving Christian, husband, son, and father to my children.
 
I used to listen to my wife as she'd tell me how Christians stood together as a family; how they would pray and come to others aid, all in the name of the Lord.  I'd listen to Christian radio stations and hear stories of how the children of God cared and love one another.  Hearing all of this made me feel proud to finally be a part of a family who really loved me, and did not judge me for my past mistakes and crime.  For Christians know we have all sinned before God, and no one is supposed to judge another, without first judging themselves.
 
So I held on to those words of faith, and for the first time in my life I reached out to my Christian family and asked for their help.  You see, since becoming a Christian I stopped all my evil ways.  I talk to the younger men within these walls about God, and how He changed my life, and also how He could change their's as well.  A lot of men can't believe the change God has made in my life.  But once being a real child of God, people can't help but to see the true change within your life, then they can't help but to believe.
 
Anyway, I found a passion for writing things about God and His word.  I wanted others to learn about God as I have; I wanted others to believe and trust in His word as I now do.  So my books are just that; books about God and His wonderful word.  My latest book called, "Women Of Faith---God's Word," is full with problems that young people are facing today.  I was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write this book.  After writing it, I was moved by His spirit to ask my Christian family to aid me in getting it published.  I wrote another letter before this one, asking for help, and I really believed in my heart that Christians would help me to get other books out there with God's word in them.  I even stated that I would send out manuscripts to those who asked for them, so this book could be read before they made up their minds to help.  Then I waited with joy in my heart, because I knew I had done the right thing, and Christian people would hear my call and come to my aid.
 
But, now my heart is saddened, because not one Christian came to my aid.  Not one Christian even wrote and said, "Thank you, for writing such a book full of God's word, and even though I'm unable to help, still I'd like to thank you for your time and effort."  No! People read my request, and turned their backs on me and God.  I was hurt and asked my wife, "Why! You told me as Christians we love and support one another.  You told me, people do have a heart and are willing to forgive others."  My wife, believes that, and she had me believing it as well.
 
I believed my wife because she is a true Christian woman full of God's love.  Therefore, I have to keep the faith that this world is full of real Christians who believe in being a family and helping one another.  I refuse to believe that satan has turned  so many hearts to stone.  I have to believe in Christians because that's what my books are all about, Christians and God's word.
 
Yes, it's hard times for everyone, but it's never so hard to the point where a Christian would choose satan over God's word, and not come to the aid of another Christian family member that has reached out for help.  I refuse to believe that this world has come to show me no love, especially from God's people.
 
So this is to those who are not afraid to be Christians.  I'm asking for your help to self-publish this book.  I know those who do help, many of God's blessing will fall upon you and your family, because you believed and trusted in the Lord.  So let your heart be true and help me to get more books on God's word out to those who need to read them.  You know it's sad, in times of trouble we turn to God in prayer begging and asking for His help, and expecting God to help, but when God asks us to help others for His good, people often turn their backs and pretend they didn't hear Him.
 
So those of you who still have a heart and are willing to listen when He asks for your help for one of His children, then thank you.  The information below will tell you how.  This will only be between you, myself, and the Lord.  God bless each of you.  This new book will be published, I have God's word on that.  But the question will be, what part will you play in it???  Have a heart, hear God talking to you, and be a real member of a Christian family. Yes!
 
Please email me at chrisdutchess@verizon.net  and I'll answer you with all the information you will need, whether you are requesting a copy of the manuscript, or if you are interested in helping by giving a donation.  Once I've received what is needed to publish this book, I will let everyone know that I've received all I need.  I will not accept any more than what is needed...thank you everyone...
