A Hard but Worthy Journey
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is a wonderful example of life taking you somewhere you never expected to go. Reading about the experiences Mr. Atwood has had, the people he has met, and things he has learned on his journey show how important it is that the death penaly be abolished. Clearly we need to commit our resources to more productive ways to be "tough on crime".
An Abolitionist's Journey
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a very readable book that explores one man's journey from corporate person to abolitionist and speaker of truth in an environment hostile to the principles of non-violence and respect for the dignity of every human being. Dave shares his vision, his faith, and his experience earned by many years of fighting the death penalty in Texas. He and his ministry are models of spiritually-based social activism for everyone who advocates for restorative justice in our system of criminal justice. The book is an important addition to the debate on the death penalty in the state of Texas and across the nation.
