Sleep the Sleep of the Innocent

This book is about three death row men and their experiences in living life and trying to avoid hell. Each of the three death row men's experience is viewed through a different moral lesson found in the three parables of the Christian Bible's Book of Matthew, Chapter 25. These moral lessons sound simple. But moral lessons always get a bit tricky when applied to the human endeavor. And there is nothing trickier than the lives of death row men. While taught by Jesus, who believed in hell, the application of the moral lessons are relevant to all readers, not just Christians. Who are these death row men? All three are associated with the death row inside a state prison, Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama. Jack Trawick, on death row for 15 years, was executed. Jimmy Davis, Jr., who observed his 25th anniversary on death row a few years ago, still awaits execution. The third death row man, this author, is a free-world volunteer on death row. I do not physically live there but, as you will see, I reside there in substantive ways. Each death row man presents an intimate, sometimes disturbing and even horrifying, story of struggle with God's moral expectations on how to live and, thereby, avoid hell.
