Eric Paul Gulbranson is well named. He resembles the great Apostle, not in fame, but in suffering.
Eric's life was one of rejection, personal weakness and self-doubt. But, he always allowed his faith in Jesus to run its dynamic course. Never ashamed of the Gospel, he proclaimed it and lived it on behalf of hundreds of incarcerated men at Lexington Prison in Oklahoma.

John 1:4
"In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
