"Lester Johnson has taken a close look at today's youth and our world today. He has looked at his own neighborhood and at what is happening to our young people. He has come to the conclusion that the youth of today must be awakened and developed spiritually by proper parental training, especially in the formative years. It is my opinion that this book is an important book for both parents and children." -Rev. Oriel Licorish, Assistant General Superintendent, British Methodist Episcopal Church, Toronto "Lester Johnson's book covers many of the problems faced by communities today. Rather than regurgitate what is often featured in our newspapers, Johnson provides thoughtful, practical suggestions on how to understand and deal with these issues. His approach is pragmatic and grounded in the fundamental goodness of humanity. The book presents some of our popular real-life societal heroes and encourages you to pursue your own role in society." -Joseph Jagmohan, Manager, ResumeWorld Inc.
