Could convicted cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer get to heaven before you? If I shot thirteen people, could I still get to Heaven? These and other questions are addressed in, God on Death Row, by Michael Nadraus. God on Death Row is a journey through the lives of murderers and their amazing stories of finding faith in God, and salvation of their souls, in their own words.
Son-of-Sam-David Berkowitz, who once said, 'I didn't want to hurt them; I only wanted to kill them,' now calls himself the 'Son of Hope.' After years on death row, pick ax murderer Karla Faye Tucker renamed it 'Life Row.' What would compel a murderer to think this way? How do these responses compare to the typical persons view of life and God?
I've corresponded with at least 250 death-row inmates, sharing my personal life and Bible truths with them. I include personal letters, last statements, and stories from Jeffrey Dahmer, Susan Atkins of Manson notoriety, Charles Manson, Timothy McVeigh, and others. 19 convicted murderers in all. The book includes mug shots of the killers, last statements, and other little-known death row facts, such as the oldest person ever executed and last meals before execution.
As a result of my correspondences, I've seen inmates who had no hope find new purpose and meaning by turning to God. While some do fake being religious, many are genuine believers. This book gives evidence of the power of the Bible in the actual words and testimonies of several killers in Americas prisons.
