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. At the same time, she came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute him--men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing.<br><br>Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Confronting both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the needs of a crime-ridden society and the Christian imperative of love, <b>Dead Man Walking</b> is an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty, a book that is both enlightening and devastating. 128892 1993 Dead Man Walking total:870|5:274|4:358|3:183|2:47|1:8| 870 3453 1169 116 5 1 false false Sun Mar 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 08 20:40:49 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 23 19:36:06 -0700 2008

There are many reasons to oppose state-sanctioned killing. Prejean's book outlines many of them, but other authors have done a better job than she. ]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 28 20:02:19 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 28 20:08:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Aug 20 05:24:06 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 05:25:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 18:07:55 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 20:18:39 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Tue Dec 30 11:29:37 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 08:42:29 -0800 2008 1 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=133793
