Not By Bread Alone: memoir of a jurist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781484020944)

This is a collection of experiences to show all and sundry how to uphold the majesty of the law despite the lure of easy money or get-rich-quick syndromes; how to resist pressure; how to overcome fear; how to temper justice with mercy; how to keep friendship without succumbing to unjust demands; and how to stand upright against the easy wrong. Above all, it is a testimony to how God's grace has sustained me in the endless contest of right against wrong and to live by faith in His provision and perfect plan. Indeed, there are colleagues who should rightfully be called "HOODLUMS IN ROBES", as one former President described judges. The nature of the duties and responsibilities of judges make them susceptible to temptations which are often so strong. After all, men should not live by bread alone, but by every word that come from God, as admonished by Jesus Christ when he was tempted by the devil. If they succumbed to the the temptation, then Satan would be clapping his hands in victory.
