An Inconvenient Truth

""Dr. Davis's book gives food for thought as crime and religion intersect. She effectively addresses the concept that crime stems from moral lapses in judgment and that the criminal needs to take responsibility for their actions. Her strength of the book lies in the theological roots of the criminal justice system."" --Norman Alexander, retired fire chief ""Addressing the underlying issues influencing crime, justice, and personal culpability, Dr. Ashley E. Davis illuminates an inconvenient truth that cannot be negated by simply dismissing the actions of a perpetrator as mere scientific or genetic phenomena. By examining biblical and non-biblical worldviews on morality and ethics, this book challenges its readers to confront the truth of sin and judgment, which has no one to blame but the perpetrator."" --Albert R. Portillo Jr., equipping ministry leader, New Hope Las Vegas Church ""In the book, An Inconvenient Truth, Dr. Ashley Davis argues that modern society has sacrificed the biblical basis of personal culpability for crime to blaming criminal behavior on other forces such as genetics, gender, culture, and skin color. As a licensed professional trauma counselor, I see the tragic damage to souls because of selfish choices made by others who won't take responsibility for their actions. Dr. Davis calls for a return to a biblical worldview of ethics and morality based on personal culpability for crimes committed by those inside and outside the criminal justice system. By re-recognizing and re-implementing such a system, the goal is that justice is meted out that is appropriate to the crime while providing opportunities for behavioral and emotional redemption."" --Thomas D. Hennigan, licensed professional counselor
