Culture: Book of the Week

As we have stated before then the cultural heritage of humankind is very important to us here at the Church of Integrity. Culture makes you think. It raises important moral questions and contains lessons about ethics. Culture is something we want to cherish and educate people about. Thus we've decided to start a Book of the Week section on the blog. We'll point your attention to some books that we enjoyed. By no means does this imply that you must read them to be a follower, absolutely not. We just want to share those books with you and hopefully you'll not be disappointed if you read them. Culture is much more than books though. We plan on making posts about other aspects of culture but there is limited space on the blog and we simply want to start of with the books because they are a rather inexpensive and universal way of enjoying culture (as opposed to art galleries that are rather local for example). This first column and suggestion might be up for a bit more than a week, simply because we still have a lot to tell you about the foundations of the religion so this first Book of the Week should perhaps rather be called the Book of the Month!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) is our first Book of the Week. Yes, it's not out yet but we are so excited about it. The Harry Potter phenomenon is incredible. We are no kids but we still thoroughly enjoy the books, don't miss out on them just because you think they are kid books. The books contain some excellent moral values, for example that you should treat those that are different than you well and the books talk about the importance of your friends. Most importantly then the books are exciting and a great read, we highly recommend them.

Let us know if the above Text Link Ads annoyed you, we just felt it was appropriate to have a link to somewhere you could get the book. Note that if you follow the buying links then you are pre-ordering the book.

Thought you may be interested in this Book and Story.
Dennis Fritz is a man who needs to be noticed more. His Book changed my views about the Death Penalty,unwarranted prosecution and wrongful convictions. . He is the Other Innocent Man in John Grisham's The Innocent Man, he wrote a book called Journey Toward Justice Published by Seven Locks Press. A Companion book to The Innocent Man. Dennis Fritz writes his own story about unwarranted prosecution and wrongful conviction and is a true crime. Endorsed on Jacket by John Grisham which he states as Compelling and Fascinating.
Journey Toward Justice is a testimony to the Triumph of the human Spirit and is a Memoir. Dennis Fritz was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder after a swift trail.
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. Read about how he wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense and immersed himself in an intense study of law.
He was a school teacher and a ordinary man whose wife was brutally murdered in 1975 by a deranged 17 year old neighbor. 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.

After 10 years in prison he discovered The Innocence Project, a non-profit legal organization. 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.
