Jailhouse Journals

Jailhouse Journals

by Mike Mahy

What happens when a life unraveling at the seams is handed over to God—fully, painfully, and without excuse?

In Jailhouse Journals, Mike Mahy opens the door to a world few ever see: the raw, emotional, and spiritually complex inner life of a man navigating incarceration, faith, and redemption. These journals were born not from comfort, but from crisis. Writing behind the walls of Ford Mountain Correctional Center, Mahy wrestles with his past—his crimes, his identity, his sexuality, and his failures—but what emerges is not a defense. It’s a surrender.

This is a book about sin—but not as a headline. It’s about truth—but not the polished kind. What Jailhouse Journals offers is an unfiltered conversation between a man and his Maker. Through intimate entries, we witness the gradual shift from self-deception to accountability, from bitterness to forgiveness, and from shame to spiritual renewal. The writing moves between journal entries, prayers, dreams, and poems—each one shaped by the very real tension between personal brokenness and God’s relentless grace.

Mahy shares what it’s like to find miracles in a place designed for punishment. He writes about the unexpected friendships with fellow inmates, the quiet power of leading Bible studies, and the surprising moments of joy that seep through the cracks of prison life. He details divine “downloads” from the Holy Spirit, moments of painful confession, and the long process of facing those he has hurt. There’s no hiding here. Only the kind of honesty that leaves room for healing.

Yet this is not a story about Mike alone. It’s a call to the reader—to lay down masks, confront hidden pain, and rediscover the kind of transformation only possible through God. It is for the silent struggler, the burdened believer, the family member searching for hope, and the person who wonders whether redemption is still possible when the consequences seem final.

Through it all, one truth pulses through the pages: God does not abandon us to our failures. He meets us in them. He refines us through them. And sometimes, he even chooses a jail cell as the beginning of something holy.

The Revenant's Mark

The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant’s Mark blends dark...

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science WHEN FAITH CONFRONTS SCIENCE Dare to question, but be ready to believe. “Does God Exist?” This is an age-old debate. Interestingly, those who say “No” often cite science as the basis for their opinion. They openly state that “There is no proof of the existence of God.” However, there is proof of the existence of God. There is more than ample proof of His existence. There is more evidence than anyone will ever need if one was willing to look in the right places, if one was open to that proof, and if one does not block or eliminate the proof or otherwise redefine or pre-determine the scientific criteria despite the evidence. Carl Sagan once wrote, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence.” This book presents Ten Observable, Demonstrable, and Verifiable sets of facts that prove the existence of God. Not one, not two, but ten. Any one set of these proofs by itself would demonstrate it, but together they provide ove...
