Описание: Written by a wrongfully convicted man who spent 16 years in solitary confinement and 12 years on death row, a powerful memoir about fighting for--and winning--exoneration. In the summer of 1992, a grandmother, a teenage girl, and four children under the age of ten were beaten and stabbed to death in Somerville, Texas. The perpetrator set the house on fire to cover his tracks, deepening the heinousness of the crime and rocking the tiny community to its core. Authorities were eager to make an arrest. Five days later, Anthony Graves was in custody. Graves, then twenty-six years old and without an attorney, was certain that his innocence was obvious. He did not know the victims, he had no knowledge about the crime, and he had an airtight alibi with witnesses. There was also no physical evidence linking him to the scene. Yet Graves was indicted, convicted of capital murder, sentenced to death, and, over the course of twelve years on death row, given two execution dates. He was not freed for eighteen years, two months, four days. Through years of suffering the whims of rogue prosecutors, vote-hungry district attorneys, and Texas State Rangers who played by their own rules, Graves was frequently exposed to the dire realities of being poor and black in the criminal justice system. He witnessed fellow inmates who became his friends and confidants be taken away, one by one, to their deaths. And he missed out on seeing his three young sons mature into men. Graves's only solace was his infinite hope that the state would not execute him for a crime he did not commit. To maintain his dignity and sanity, Graves made sure as many people as possible knew about his case. He wrote letters to whomever he thought would listen. Pen pals in countries all over the world became allies, and he attracted the attention of a savvy legal team that overcame setback after setback, chiseling away at the state's faulty case against him. Everyone's efforts eventually worked. After Graves's exoneration, the original prosecutor on his case was disbarred. Graves is one of a growing number of innocent people exonerated from death row. The moving account of his saga--of his ultimate fight for freedom from inside a prison cell--is as haunting as it is poignant, and as shameful to the legal system as it is inspiring to those on the losing end of it.

Описание: HOPE IS A DIALOGUE-A DESCRIPTION These pages explore some of the most central issues of our lives. They seek to define conscience, its imperatives and its limitations. They search for the new paradigms we need to live lives that are authentic and contemporary. In the light of the articles on conscience and paradigms, these pages explore through Galileo's telescope, as it were, the verification of new centers for our lives. Our moral behavior must not be essentially defined in natural law and biological centers; nor must the Church be defined as the center of the universe or of our lives. All revolutions that are truly worthy connect us with the past that they surpass and leave. An especially delicate article, Hope Is A Dialogue explores the question of whether Jesus was married, calling Jesus Joseph's son rather than Mary's child. The sadness of life is evoked in "Crosses in the Early Darkness" and the loss of those we desperately loved in "Homily for My Mother". The status of married priests and of marriage as well as priesthood is explored. And redemption is defined in another article, as the salvation of our integrity. The unifying theme that weaves its way through these reflections is the passion we are summoned to follow, a passion to make ourselves at home with ourselves so that we can inclusively welcome all those who seek a home in our friendship and faith.

Anthony Gay spent 22 years in solitary confinement and faced 108 total years in prison. His journey began when he allegedly stole a dollar bill and a hat during a neighborhood fight as a teenager. During his time in solitary, he turned to writing. While he was isolated from most human contact, words comforted him. His daily iterations to lawyers, college professors, activists and himself gave him hope. Hope kept him alive. Then, a miracle happened. He got out.
Rope of Hope: Conversations Between Ego and Alter Ego was born out of tragedy and resilience. "The only way to believe is to believe from the heart. The only way to believe from the heart is to believe in hope. Never close the door on hope, leave it open, it's the only way a miracle can walk in."
Автор: Ayalon Ami, David Anthony Название: Friendly Fire: How Israel Became Its Own Worst Enemy and Its Hope for the Future ISBN: 1586422588 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781586422585 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 16550.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In this deeply personal exploration, Ami Ayalon concludes that the foundational myths Israelis tell themselves are at the root of their ongoing national security concerns. "If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia," Ayalon writes, "it won't be thanks to a handful of theologians dragging us into the dark past. The secular majority will lead us there motivated by fear and propelled by silence." Ayalon's journey growing up on a kibbutz before becoming a decorated commando, naval commander, intelligence chief and cabinet member traces the history of Israel, but his patriotic life also blinded him to the self-defeating nature of policies that have undermined Israel's civil society while heaping humiliation and hopelessness upon its Palestinian neighbors. Ayalon's compelling storytelling voice will grip readers, provide fresh perspectives, and offer hope for an enduring two-state solution. Ayalon has come to realize that the sustainable and democratic Jewish homeland for which he repeatedly risked his life, and killed, can only be realized side-by-side with a Palestinian state whose citizens have genuine hope for their own bright future. As the head of Israel's security agency Shin Bet, he gained empathy for Israel's "enemy" and could prove with almost mathematical precision that when Israel carries out anti-terrorist operations in a political context of hopelessness, the Palestinian public supports violence, because they have nothing to lose. Researching and writing Friendly Fire, he sought input from Palestinians and Israelis whose experiences and insights differed from his own. "No matter what we do," Ayalon writes, "terrorism, like violent crime, will continue to plague our society and other Western-style democracies." But to demonize the other side and repeatedly label them unreliable partners is not a solution. Ayalon is a realist, not an idealist, and he has scant interest in offering apologies or regrets. He takes his readers on a journey of discovery that for many will be revelatory, and arrives at common sense conclusions that many who count themselves as Israel's staunchest supporters will regard as radical.
