You can be saved and still bound.
That is the discovery Benjamin Spencer made after forty years of walking with God - four failed marriages, ministry attempts that crashed, patterns that repeated no matter how hard he tried. He was saved. He knew it. But something invisible kept its grip on him.
The Invisible Train: Breaking the Chains You Cannot See is the book most Christians never knew they needed. It is not a book about getting saved. It is a book about learning to walk free - every single day - after salvation has already happened.
Through ten chains that quietly hold men and women in bondage - the chain of misunderstanding, of trying to repay God, of seeking escape instead of purpose, of believing God has forgotten you - Benjamin Spencer walks the reader through the invisible prison that survives the prison cell, the altar call, and even decades of faithful service.
Drawn from forty-five years of hard-won freedom and the testimony of a man who came out of a literal tomb - skeletal, broken, and feeling forgotten - only to find that God had never stopped working, this book is for the man who is saved but not free. The woman who is faithful but still bound. The believer who has been carrying chains they could not name.
You cannot unwrap yourself. But God has people waiting to help you.
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you." - Ezekiel 36:26

You walked out of the prison. You gave your life to God. You did everything right.
So why does it still feel like something has its grip on you?
Because some chains you cannot see.
The Invisible Train - coming soon from The Empty Cell Project.
Autorentext
Benjamin Spencer is the founder and director of The Empty Cell Project, a prison reentry ministry based in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He has been walking in freedom for 45 years since his release in 1981, and has spent those decades building bridges between prison walls and church doors.
He is a Kairos Prison Ministry volunteer, a husband to Tracey, and the author of four books ? the Angel Trilogy: Angel in Cell Block C, Walking Among the Thorns, and The Invisible Train: The Chain Breaker ? along with The Legacy Book, a training manual for churches and ministries engaging in prison reentry work.
Benjamin does not write from theory. He writes from scars. His life's mission, captured in his Bridging the Chasm vision, is to see the church become the bridge that carries broken people from a cell to a calling.
