Standing courageously on the Judeo-Christian foundations of their moral commitments, civil rights leaders sought to transform the social and political realities of twentieth-century America. Speaking to his supporters at the end of the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956, Martin Luther King, Jr., declared that their common goal was not simply the end of segregation as an institution.

Lorton Legends tells a story about what happens if you break the law but unlike other prison books this book told stories within stories.Ronald Mays, a 17 year old aspiring boxer almost on his way but his dreams of making it to the big leagues is cut short when he was sent to prison. The chapters are filled with interesting research and solid advice. I got this book after my own wedding. But those who will take the plunge will quickly be challenged to reconsider their views of what it meant when Jesus was arrested in the garden of Gethsemanee. Baty, does Jesus wear jammies?" (My niece would have pajama day on the very last day of each school year.) She was so moved by that question that she decided to write a book based on that story line!
