The Independent Association of Ministers

Come with IAM on an adventure of a lifetime as you answer your calling from God. In 1995 the Independent Association of Ministries (I.A.M.) copyrighted “The New Jersey Prisoner Prayer and Resource Handbook,” a 372-page social and spiritual manual to help inmates and their families. The book was written and test-published by Byron L. White and Terrence Weber, in association with the First Presbyterian Church (of Freehold, N.J.) Pastor Kenneth Matthews. No solicitation funds were collected.
