Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson

This powerful book is a riveting account of the injustices that exist in our present day court system. Bryan Stevenson founded Equal Justice Initiative to help poor, those wrongly condemned and otherwise trapped in the criminal justice system. The stories he shares are heart breaking but the work he does is encouraging as he offers hope to those who have been wrongly accused and are without resources to defend themselves.

The subtitle for this book is "A story of justice and redemption" which summarizes the thrust of his work. May his work continue to offer hope and help to those who are victims of prejudice and political maneuvering. Equal Justice Initiative is a worthwhile organization to support and I hope this book encourages many to do so.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
