Reviews
"Deeply moving...Sister Prejean is an excellent writer, direct and honest and unsentimental; her accounts of crime and punishment are gripping, and her argument is persuasive.... She almost palpably extends a hand to her readers." - The New York Times Book Review "Destined to become the most influential anti-capital punishment statement since Albert Camus wrote' Reflections on the Guillotine ' in 1957.... This unblinking book about the deliberate killing of human beings refuses to turn a blind eye to the sins of the murderers--be they prisoners or prison officials. The author, Sister Helen Prejean, is a Roman Catholic nun who has lived and worked with poor black families in New Orleans. Walking explores her personal and spiritual evolution into both a death penalty opponent and victims advocate, an evolution that begins when she serves as the spiritual advisor to two condemned men." -Washington Post Book World "This arresting account should do for the debate over capital punishment what the film footage from Selma and Birmingham accomplished for the civil rights movement: turn abstractions into flesh and blood. Tough, fair, bravely alive--you will not come away from this book unshaken." - Bill McKibben, "Destined to become the most influential anti-capital punishment statement since Albert Camus wrote' Reflections on the Guillotine ' in 1957...This unblinking book about the deliberate killing of human beings refuses to turn a blind eye to the sins of the murderers--be they prisoners or prison officials.

She almost palpably extends a hand to her readers." -- The New York Times Book Review "An immensely moving affirmation of the power of religious vocation. . . . Stunning moral clarity." -- The Washington Post Book World "Here is one voice for life. We really should need no other." -- The New York Review of Books "An intimate meditation on crime and punishment, life and death, justice and mercy and--above all--Christian love in its most all-embracing sense. . . . [Prejean] never shrinks from the horror of what she has seen. She never resorts to something so predictable as pathos or a play for sympathy." -- Los Angeles Times "A remarkable writer . . . Prejean's manner of describing the tortured relations among prisoners, criminal-justice officers and victims' families would be the envy of many novelists. Even if your own views on capital punishment are set in concrete, you are sure to be moved by the force of Prejean's personality and commitment." -- Glamour "Painful and powerful . . . [Prejean's] practical moral courage is heroic." -- The New Yorker "Providing a gritty look at what really happens in the final hours of a death row inmate . . . Prejean takes readers to a place most will thankfully never know . . . adeptly probing the morality of a judicial system and a country that kills its citizens." -- San Francisco Chronicle "An impassioned condemnation of capital punishment." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "This arresting account should do for the debate over capital punishment what the film footage from Selma and Birmingham accomplished for the civil rights movement: turn abstractions into flesh and blood. Tough, fair, bravely alive--you will not come away from this book unshaken." --BillMcKibben, "Deeply moving...Sister Prejean is an excellent writer, direct and honest and unsentimental; her accounts of crime and punishment are gripping, and her argument is persuasive....

Synopsis
#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., 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.

- l***l (881)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat shoes just as described at a great price. Very quick shipment. Nicely packaged. A+++++ seller!!
- h***t (162)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe shoes look great. But, I tried to cancel the order 2 hours after I purchased them, and I got a message saying it was too late to cancel. I looked, and there was no tracking number available . He was untruthful when he said it was too late to cancel. So, I think the seller is unprofessional, untruthful, and greedy. I would not by anything else from him ever again. I’m just grateful that I ended up liking the shoes.
