Now I Walk on Death Row: A Wall Street Finance Lawyer Stumbles into the Arms of a Loving God

Dale S. Recinella. Chosen, $14.99 trade paper (320p) ISBN 978-0-8007-9505-4

This memoir covers a Christian journey of nearly six decades. The author grew up in a strict Italian Catholic household in Detroit. He excelled and became a high-powered public finance lawyer in Florida. It was an epiphany in the 1980s and a new wife that changed his life. He gave up his career and began working with an AIDS ministry. It was not long before he was recruited to minister to inmates at a local prison. This is a story of transformation as the author and his family gradually pare down their lifestyle, and he becomes involved with more dangerous prisoners. His work on Death Row causes the book to become a statement against the cruelty of capital punishment. The book will appeal to anyone considering prison ministry. (May)
