Reviews

When I finished reading the book, I gave thanks to God once again for Sr. Helen Prejean, one of the most remarkable, prophetic women of our times. Her boldness and courage have taken millions of people on a daunting journey to overcome hatred with love, to meet evil with goodness, to forgive rather than avenge ourselves on those who harm us, and to never let ourselves be overcome by hatred. Her heroic efforts to abolish the death penalty have reminded us that we cannot uphold a practice which permanently banishes some members from the human family by killing them. In an age that exalts violence, vengeance and retribution, Helen Prejean is a living icon of the Gospel of life. She has reminded us that people are more than the worst thing they've ever done. There's always the capacity for us to be more than we have been and for God's grace to change us.Fr. Thomas Rosica, CSB, CEO, Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation
