"There are many ways to tell the tragic story of America's death rows. Tom Cahill has chosen to show—through the extraordinary life of one man—that God is always working everywhere and can bring the most beautiful soul to maturity in even the most horrifying circumstances. If you read his story, you will never forget Dominique Green, nor will you ever feel the same way about our courts, our prisons, and our criminal justice system. This book is a life-changer."

—Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

"Dominique Green was a wonderful man whose life demonstrated the power of God to heal and transfigure even the most unlikely people and places. Who could have expected that Texas Death Row would be made into an avenue of divine grace?—which is exactly what happened through Dominique's instrumentation. Though this is a book that ends in death, it does not end in despair. Read it and discover how even the obscenity of capital punishment can be transformed into an occasion of light and peace."

—Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa

"A tremendously moving book—all the more effective because of the tempered voice with which Cahill narrates an unspeakable injustice. Dominique Green's personal and moral triumph, prior to his execution under the benighted legal processes of Texas, is portrayed with so much sensitivity, and the racial factor that Cahill emphasizes is conveyed so forcefully, that I expect A Saint On Death Row to become a classic in the growing struggle to cleanse this nation finally of the sin of the death penalty."

—Jonathan Kozol

"A deeply moving narrative about a man transformed as he faced an unjust execution."

—James H. Cone, author of Black Theology and Black Power and Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare?

"An impassioned, very personal plea against racism, poverty and the death penalty."

—Publishers Weekly
