|  | Why I Am An Agnostic & Other Essays by Clarence Darrow
The renowned lawyer Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) was also an impassioned defender of intellectual freedom, individual liberties, and social injustice. In these wide-ranging essays, Darrow attacks beliefs in the inerrancy of the Bible, the immortality of the soul, miracles, and heaven as being completely at odds with human experience and science.

 | Just Walkin' in the Rain by Jay Warner
This biography details the traumatic life of Johnny Bragg, who upon reaching his teens was sent to prison for a sentence of 594 years under, it is suggested, falsified evidence. While in prison, Bragg joined a gospel group, the Prisonaires, with whom he had a successful recording career--or rather, his record company was successful as a result of his career. Eventually paroled from prison, Bragg continued his singing career, though never quite duplicating the success of the Prisonaires' hit single, Just Walkin' in the Rain. AUTHOR: Jay Warner
