CEDRIC DEAN is a leader, an educator, and sometimes even a psychologist, but most of all, he is a mentor, motivating the misguided with the same sizzling enthusiasm that allowed him to transform from a gangster to a genius. Growing up in Charlotte N.C., he had aspirations of being a thug, but after regimented years of learning, labor and loneliness, he preserved. Now he offers the lessons he learned on his voyage from criminal to catalyst in this inspiring book. How to Save Our Children from Crime, Drugs and Violence is the essential blueprint for saving America's children from the curse of criminality. Cedric begins by outlining what it takes to rescue our children: reason, restraint and resolve. The goal isn't just to save one, but one million. "We are the ones who get children to sell drugs, rob and kill, and we can get them to stop." Cedric often tells Federal Prisoners. Cedric Dean's personal and prison experiences shed light on critical lessons, rousing readers just as he roused correctional staff and inmates at his Leaders Breed Leaders seminars. His transformational message is for anyone looking for the solution to save our children from crime, drugs and violence, and more - anyone looking to make a difference in a world gone wild.
