No Flowers For Their Graves
by Janalee Hoffman
"...truly
absorbing examples of the gospel's power."
Bookstore Journal October '92
There are more than 2,500 men and women awaiting execution on our nation's death row.
Perhaps this group is the most forgotten of any by society. This graphically honest book
is a portrayal of society's worst as witnessed through the husband-wife ministry of
Janalee and Gary Hoffman, The Rising Son Ministry. A book that will change the way you
feel about all death row inmates, it courageously explores the lives and crimes of these
convicted men and women.
"This is a moving, profound and realistic testimony about God's love for the
unlovely... (This) book is important because it underscores the Christian imperative to
minister to prisoners. It is urgent because it lets society know that, try as it might, it
cannot wash its hands of the creations of God who it sends to death rows across the
country. Their crimes are real, but so are they."
J. Robert McAlister, Chief of Staff, South Carolina governor's office
"I have the greatest admiration for those Christians who have dedicated their
lives to those on death row... Perhaps there is not a more helpless group and therefore
vulnerable to the love and mercy extended to them through the Lord Jesus Christ."
Ruth Bell Graham, wife of Evangelist Billy Graham
