The Alpha course is a 15 session practical introduction to the Christian faith and is designed primarily for non-churchgoeers. More than 120 of the UK's 158 prisons now run the Alpha course and are finding it an effective way of presenting the gospel from all walks of life. This manual is designed to take you through the different stages of setting up and running an Alpha course in a prison context. It is based on the experience of over 100 courses currently running in UK prisons. While Alpha in Prisons is relatively new to North America, it is beginning to make an impact in the U.S. and Canada. Sections in the manual include: Full Breakdown of How to Get Started, Advice on How to Fit an Alpha Course Into a Prison Regime, How to Encourage Inmates to Come On Your Alpha Course, and Tips on How to Follow-Up an Alpha Course.
