Salvation: The Divine Imperative
Paul and Silas were escorted to the lowered dungeon, uncomfortable, in chains, mistreated, hurting and still probably bleeding from the beatings.

This story tells how to find humor in such frustrating situations, and how to rest in knowing that in the end, it will all work out for good.
