商品簡介
Upon graduating from college, author DeWayne Charleston goes to work for the popular and liberal Texas governor, Ann W. Richards. Disillusioned with politics and now seeking spiritual guidance, he decides to attend the respected and conservative, Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas. The story of his struggles between religion and politics, and his own battles with racism, could be anyone's story. After seminary, Charleston returns to the home of his childhood, ready to face his painful past, and convicted to change racial attitudes in Waller County, Texas. Abandoning his religious mission, and again becoming politically active, he soon finds himself in a federal courthouse, now “literally” convicted for pursuing that change. He pens a true, and often humorous, story that will encourage students, lawyers, politicians, community advocates, and even judges who are interested in moving beyond traditional politics and religion, to examine their associations, personal relationships, and the motivations for the services they render.
