I‘m joining @monalyisha in offering up some books for a #booktrade.

Post your own stack of books you‘d like to trade, use the hashtag, and comment here if you‘re interested in any of these. Then I‘ll take a look at your stack and see if we can make a trade. (US only for me I‘m afraid due to shipping costs.)

Not sure if this book really fits the theme, but it does deal with Catholics and how some people are damned while others are saved.

Klou Either way it sounds like an interesting read! 4y

I just finished this for book club. We were supposed to find a book that had been made into a movie. This book was honest and deeply moving. I have a lot of respect for Sister Helen and her work.

She has a point here. Who are "they" or we to say who dies?

Iā€m proud to call myself a Delawarean tonight....Our legislators, and Governor are on the way to abolishing the death penalty in our state. This is pretty awesome. Itā€s good of the state financially and morally.

I hate the movie tie-in cover of this book but I'll live with it for now. The book itself is a priceless account of the moral and spiritual consequences of the death penalty in the United States.
Helen Prejean lends a #helpinghand in the form of spiritual advice and counsel that she provides to Patrick Sonnier, a convicted killer on death row.

"We need art to open up the heart and bring us to places we are never going to go."

I will see mezzo-soprano J'nai Bridges (photo above) performing the role of Sister Helen Prejean at the opera tonight.

If we believe that murder is wrong and not admissible in our society, then it has to be wrong for everyone, not just individuals but governments as well.

DaphneLee Love this book. Read it more than twenty years ago and it has stayed with me since. 8y
