This book tells the disturbing yet redemptive story of how, by God’s grace, an atheist, pedophile, and mass murderer repented and believed in Jesus Christ. Roy Ratcliff — the erstwhile preacher-turned-prison-minister who baptized Jeffrey Dahmer — discovered through him this deep sense of grace that flies in the face of our compunction to condemn, voiced by one college professor who said, “If Dahmer’s in heaven, I don’t want to be there.” Ratcliff says he became convinced of Dahmer’s sincerity during seven months of prison visits. “I feel very, very bad about the crimes I’ve committed,” Dahmer told Ratcliff. “In fact, I think I should have been put to death by the state for what I did.”
