I think the book is fantastic, and the mentor sessions will serve as an invaluable resource. I truly enjoyed reading it, and the distinctive writing style shines through, revealing both the author’s personality and unwavering determination with which he overcomes adversity.

Richard’s extremely powerful and remarkable story of transformation from addiction and crime to hope and healing evoked emotions that I didn’t know existed. The honest and reflective writing style made it easy for this reader to become immersed in Young Richard’s life as he was subjected to horrific abuse and neglect, and it offered valuable insight into how generational curses begin and how they proceed to destroy potential as well as the human spirit. Most importantly, Richard’s example and guidance on how to break demonic curses will positively impact lives, creating the potential to change the world.

The story of how Richard faced real demons that attempted to destroy his soul and how the Lord delivered him is as incredible as it is inspirational. After reading the words that poured from Richard’s heart as he experienced a spectacular prison conversion, it became clear that God spared his life for a greater purpose.

The mentoring sessions provided between chapters offer essential support to individuals experiencing similar situations. Additionally, these sessions will enhance public understanding of abuse cycles and improve the ability to identify warning signs, recognizing the widespread impact on society. As a former Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with abused and neglected children.

“Every parent and every child – most especially every boy - growing up in the US these days should read this harrowing account of abuse, abandonment, crime, drugs and the type of childhood few survive. But it is also an inspiring story of survival, determination, love, family and how the power of one’s faith in God can provide the strength to rise up and out of circumstances that all too often result in a lifetime cycle of crime, arrest and incarceration.
