Innocent Man
I finished John Grisham's latest bestseller, The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town, last night.
It was about four notches below all his other writings.
Made me wonder if maybe his cousin wrote it, and tried to frame him.
Grisham's innocent, I tell ya!! He's innocent!!

Although the book moved too slowly and included too many details for a good story -- it still was intriguing.
A preacher shouldn't be reading worldy trash like Grishan anyhow.

I may have written this book, but I am not John's cousin.
ReplyDeletePastor Bob,
ReplyDeleteHave you read any of this author's books? While he is not one of my favorites, I do appreciate some of his works.

ReplyDeleteHey buddy lighten up a little bit
before I think your hallo is on too tight.
With all the problems that pastors have these days, I think that reading a book would be way, way down on the list of things to worry about.
We have pastors, with big heads and a bad heart, running around on their wife, having affairs, embezzling money, and coming out of the closet with the fact that they are gay.
I think that Mark knows whether what he is reading is worldy trash or not and will give it the consideration that it deserves. I am sure that it will not change his
walk with Christ or the desire he has to help others.
Reading this book may make him a more rounded person, able to converse with others on topics that interest them.
When we listen to them, they open their hearts to us and we then have a chance to talk to them and make them better people with Christ's love.
This is a Hearfelt story about a extraordinary Man with much Faith in God. His Book Journey Toward Justice.

The only thing that saved him from the Death Penalty was a lone vote from a juror. Dennis Fritz was the other Innocent man mentioned in John Grisham's Book. which mainly is about Ronnie Williamson, Dennis Fritz's co-defendant. Both were exonerated after spending 12 years in prison.
The real killer was one of the Prosecution's Key Witness. Read about why he went on a special diet of his while in prison, amazing and shocking. Dennis Fritz's Story of unwarranted prosecution and wrongful conviction needs to be
heard. Look for his book in book stores or at Amazon.com , Journey Toward Justice by Dennis Fritz, Publisher Seven Locks Press 2006. ..
Read about how he wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense and immersed himself in an intense study of law.

On May 8th 1987, Five years after Debbie Sue Carter's rape and murder he was home with his young daughter and put under arrest, handcuffed and on his way to jail on charges of rape and murder.

With the aid of Barry Scheck and DNA evidence Dennis Fritz was exonerated on April 15,1999 Since then, it has been a long hard road filled with twist and turns and now on his Journey Toward Justice. He never blamed the Lord and solely relied on his faith in God to make it through. He waited for God's time and never gave up.
Good point Barbara -- the difference between this one and Grisham's other works is this one is TRUE! A true story doesn't have all the crafted plots and sub-plots which weave together in a perfect blend, and come together in a perfect end. Fiction is like that -- but not true stories.
ReplyDeleteAlthough not nearly as gripping as his novels, this could very well be the most important book Grisham has ever written.
