"And who does this belong to?" the chubby cop asked us as he pulled about 3 grams of heroin out of the purse that was tucked into the couch. "I-I-I don't know," Keya stuttered, trying not to cry. "Well, boy, what about you?" the chubby cop asked as he turned to me. I didn't say a word. I just sat there in silence. "So, you don't hear me talking to you?" he asked. Man, fuck you, I thought to myself as I sat there not saying a word. "Well, Keya, since it's in this purse with your identification, it's yours," he snapped as he aggressively put handcuffs on her also. "What I'm going to jail for?" she cried. "Possession of a controlled substance." She sat there with her head hanging low. Just like that, I was on my way to the county jail along with my girl for capital murder.

Download or read book Dead Man Walking written by Helen Prejean and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment and an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty • "Stunning moral clarity.” —The Washington Post Book World • Basis for the award-winning major motion picture starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn "Sister Prejean is an excellent writer, direct and honest and unsentimental. . . . She almost palpably extends a hand to her readers.” —The New York Times Book Review In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana’s Angola State Prison. In the months before Sonnier’s death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying. She also came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute—men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing. Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Here Sister Helen confronts both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the fears of a society shattered by violence and the Christian imperative of love. On its original publication in 1993, Dead Man Walking emerged as an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty. Now, some two decades later, this story—which has inspired a film, a stage play, an opera and a musical album—is more gut-wrenching than ever, stirring deep and life-changing reflection in all who encounter it.

Finding her killers and bringing them to justice has been one of the most important endeavors of his life.But for Varnado, Faith�s family, and the citizens of their quiet Louisiana community, the nightmare did not end with the capture and conviction of the murderers.

Download or read book Grace and Justice on Death Row written by Brian W. Stolarz and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Washington Post bestseller! A chilling and compassionate look at how close an innocent man was to being put death with a foreword by Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking. What is worse than having a client on Death Row in Texas? Having a client on Death Row in Texas who is innocent and not knowing if you will be able to stop his execution in time. Grace and Justice on Death Row: A Race Against Time to Free an Innocent Man tells the story of Alfred Dewayne Brown, a man who spent over twelve years in prison (ten of them on Texas’ infamous Death Row) for a high-profile crime he did not commit, and his lawyer, Brian Stolarz, who dedicated his career and life to secure his freedom. The book chronicles Brown’s extraordinary journey to freedom against very long odds, overcoming unscrupulous prosecutors, corrupt police, inadequate defense counsel, and a broken criminal justice system. The book examines how a lawyer-client relationship turned into one of brotherhood. Grace And Justice On Death Row also addresses many issues facing the criminal justice system and the death penalty – race, class, adequate defense counsel, and intellectual disability, and proposes reforms. Told from Stolarz’s perspective, this raw, fast-paced look into what it took to save one man’s life will leave you questioning the criminal justice system in this country. It is a story of injustice and redemption that must be told.

Why am I here? Does God exist, and if He does, why does He allow such great injustice and evil to flourish? Are heaven (and hell) real? Is it possible that I will ever find unconditional and lasting love?

Strung out on drugs and alcohol, broken by a dysfunctional home life, twisted by sex and pornography, obsessed with the acquisition of money and possessions, Hugh is searching for meaning, acceptance, and unconditional love. But he hasn't found it. He might as well be dead. Death has stalked Hugh all his life. From the age of nine, he has stared down the Grim Reaper on many occasions and managed to stall his ultimate enemy. Few men could have survived this long. And he's tired of trying... . Dead Jew Walking: A Jewish Man's Journey from Death to Life traces one man's search for answers to the existential questions of humanity. From the ashes of his own spiritual holocaust, this "dead" Jew comes face to face with the Truth in a heavenly encounter that will change everything. Does this devout atheist surrender to the Truth? Will he accept the unconditional love offered to him? Join Hugh Nemets as he recounts his journey from death to an abundant life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, as Reinhard Bonnke debated whether or not to move his ministry to America, he did something he had never done before: he prayed for a sign to confirm that God truly was calling him to go to America. God was about to answer that prayer. A few days later, a woman brought her husband to the Nigerian church where Bonnke was preaching, in hopes that his partially embalmed body would be raised from the dead after three days in a coffin. Although Bonnke was unaware of this and never even prayed for the man, the woman’s husband, lying in the church basement, began to breathe again during the sermon. In front of thousands of witnesses, this man, who still couldn’t move because of rigor mortis, was raised back to life. After his message, Bonnke was besieged by a crowd yelling, “He’s breathing! He’s breathing!” This incredible miracle, now detailed for the first time, is part of a movement of God, birthed in a small African church and stretching around the world to America. It is the beginning of a work of God that will confirm His word to Bonnke: “America shall be saved.”
