Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson

5.0

"So many of us have become afraid and angry. We've become so fearful and vengeful that we've thrown away children, discarded the disabled and sanctioned the imprisonment of the sick and the weak - not because they are a threat to public safety or beyond rehabilitation but because we think it makes us seem tough and less broken. In fact, there is a strength, a power even in understanding brokenness, because embracing our brokenness creates a need and desire for mercy, and perhaps a corresponding need to show mercy. When you experience mercy, you learn things that are hard to learn otherwise. You begin to recognize the humanity that resides in each of us."
