The Almighty came in like a flood for Maury. Davis says that he met hopeful people in life who had firm belief in God and their lives even while they were imprisoned. These people served as a ray of hope for Davis and this is the time when a new transformation took place in his life. The scales of disbelief and fear were taken off his eyes by God and he felt as if he was a completely new-born Christian. It was God who worked towards melting Davis’s heart made of stone and offered him the radical redemption and the joy of serving the entire 20 years of imprisonment which was indeed not that long. In his deep association with Christ, Davis transformed himself into a completely different person and was released from prison only after eight and a half years of serving the prison term. this was only because of the good conduct that he showed at the prison and this continued even after he was out of the prison. The rest of his life, Davis has spent in spreading the message of God to all the hopeless and broken people in life. He inspires them to live life to the fullest serving as the living example of the fact that there is absolutely nothing that can separate any individuals from God’s

    since the recent murders of the honorable Clutter family, because “Of all the people in the world, the Clutters were the least likely to be murdered.” (85) They were good, church going people. “A belief in God and the ritual surrounding that belief--- church every Sunday, grace before meals, prayers before bed” (105) were common in Holcomb. Yet even through the gruesome murders of the respected family, the towns faith never wavered. Their faith in God was so unyielding that even though their towns most beloved family had just been brutally murdered they did not want the killer to be executed because “the deed is done and taking another life cannot change it. Instead, let us forgive as God would have us do.”(107) They knew that “The doer of this act is going to find it very difficult indeed to live with himself. His only peace of mind will be when he goes to God for forgiveness,” and for Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, God forgiveness was…

    I absolutely LOVE this book. In my opinion, one of the biggest lessons that Grant learned came from the Pastor. He taught Grant that being a man isn't always about acting like the "toughest" or the "strongest" person. Sometimes a man's role is to bring comfort to those he loves by doing what they need him to do. That's the reason Grant actually agrees to go to the prison regularly because it will bring some comfort to his aunt.…

    The Nashville Sit-Ins

    The civil rights struggle during the 1960s was a huge turning point in our country’s history. If not for the small efforts put in for change, such as the sit-in demonstrations, these efforts would not have grown, and ultimately changed our country for the better. These sit-ins were also passive and very peaceful, causing no harm to others. Although desegregation was not what some people wanted, fighting for it was ultimately the right thing to do, even if it was considered unlawful action at the time.…
