The Prisoner In The Third Cell is written by Gene Edwards. It talks about something that each of us face on a daily basis- Whose fault is it?
The prison, whom you will see is John the Baptist, has been imprisoned by Herod. He did nothing worthy of being imprisoned, and yet, here he finds himself in the third cell of a Roman prison.
There are two other cells mentioned. The man in the first cell blames other men for all his problems. Nothing is really his fault. It's all because of the choices other people that have paved the way for him to be thrown into his current predicament.
The man in the second cell blames God for his problems. Like the man in the first cell, nothing is really his fault. Circumstances outside his control have led him to the misery he now faces.
In this book, John must face the question "Whose fault is it?" Will John blame spiritual intervention beyond his control or will he blame the sinfulness and unpredictablility of man as the culprit?
This book lets us see that there is actually more than just two answers to the question. And it'll open your eyes to the possibility that what you're going through isn't actually a punishment, but may be a blessing in disguise.
