The blog looks great. Let's hope we can have a real discussion here. The time to abolish the death penalty is NOW.

Hi, I am writing a book "Cities of Refuge" which looks at the issue of the Death Penalty from a Judeo/Christian viewpoint. I am in contact with Michael Flinner on death row in California.

I am interested in gathering information that would reflect the feelings, emotions of inmates, families, and friends of those on death row.

I am interested in both the guilty and the innocent that may be on death row.

I do not believe there is biblical justification for the death penalty and that one of the best ways to attack this misconception is to address a book directly to those who tolerate and / or promote the view that God wants us to destroy the sinner.

If there is anyone out there who is interested in documenting their feelings, frustrations, emotions, etc. regarding a loved one or friend on death row, please contact me at mlgjhg@verizon.net

I have noticed that Pennsylvania is not on your list. Please consider me as a potential resource to assist in establishing a chapter here.

Thank you for your assistance and/or direction.

John
