What does it take to transform a hardened criminal into a changed man? Changing Criminals: The Business of Heaven presents a compelling collection of testimonies from convicted offenders whose lives were radically altered through faith, examining the intersection of crime, punishment, and spiritual redemption. Edited by Stan McCormack, the book chronicles the personal journeys of individuals who passed through the criminal justice system and emerged fundamentally different, arguing that transformation is possible even for those society has written off. The narratives range across a spectrum of offences and backgrounds, painting a vivid picture of broken lives remade through belief. McCormack's editorial hand gives the anthology a cohesive moral urgency, weaving together raw personal accounts with broader questions about the role of religion and rehabilitation in the penal system. The title itself — drawn from C.S. Lewis's description of charity as the business of heaven — signals the book's theological underpinning, inviting readers to reconsider justice not merely as punishment, but as an opportunity for genuine human renewal. Whether you approach it as a study of criminal psychology, a work of social commentary, or a book of faith, it leaves one haunting question unanswered: what, ultimately, do we owe those who seek to change?
