New York. -- The prison journals of David Berkowitz, the imprisoned "Son of Sam" killer who terrorized New York City in the late 1970s, will be published in book form this September.
Lawrence Jordan, president of New York-based Morning Star Communications LLC, said the company will publish Berkowitz's journal because it is "a testimony to the Christian faith and to how God can change a person."
Son of Hope: The Prison Journals of David Berkowitz, Volume 1 will not mean any profits for the six-time killer. Under a state law named for Berkowitz, profits a convict makes while in prison can be recovered by victims.
In the book, first reported by the New York Post, Berkowitz "discusses how poor choices led to the horrific murders he committed, and how he eventually became a Christian," according to a website promoting the book. Berkowitz, 52, is serving six 25-years-to-life sentences for killing six people and wounding seven others during a deadly spree spanning 13 months in 1976 and 1977. AP
