The Burden Within

This book is about a man that I came to know from the small town of Owensboro, Kentucky. His given name was Robert Burden - for short, some call him Bob - but he now goes by the name 090902 in a Kentucky state prison. Bob was born in 1963 to Bobby Burden, Sr. and mother, Dorothy, and he has one sibling, Enus, his younger brother. Bob's life story intrigued me because he continues to be able to get through another day knowing that, for all practical intents and purposes, his life is at the point of being over. I have always heard that God puts no more trouble on a person than he or she can handle, but in Bob's case, you will learn about the burden within - not only the burdens of the past that he has to carry every day but those that come from behind prison walls.
