Everyday people follow the easy path of submission and conformity, and ignore their own internal cries of a better future, and environment for themselves and their offspring. Even though they know there is a better way, some are ignorant at the correct steps to take, and find themselves bogged down with the minutia of ghetto life. For those who don't learn from their mistakes, they often repeat them and can be seen regretting the way their lives are heading. To the ones who stay up at night, praying for a better way, Letters to a Brokenhearted Ghetto was penned for you. Julius Edwards, who saw the path that his people took, and noticed the momentous potential that was being wasted, wrote an impassioned cry to the revelers of buffoonery and the ones who want to change. Knowing that transformation first starts internally, Edwards' book works to help address the mental viewpoints that are toxic to our thinking and our being, then he addresses the history of African Americans to help build their knowledge. By attempting to address the larger issues that affect the ghetto, Edwards hope to inspire a change in the people who haplessly live in the ghetto. Complaining doesn't get results, but with a gentle nod in the right direction, Letters to a Brokenhearted Ghetto might be the answer that many lost citizens have prayed for.

A team of researchers from five universities in Hong Kong have constructed a comprehensive positive youth development package for junior secondary school students in Hong Kong. This project is called P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programs) and the package focuses on various aspects of positive youth development used by more than 250 secondary schools in Hong Kong. Research has been performed on the effectiveness and educational implications of the teaching package, which opened a new page of study in the field of whole-person education and youth education in Chinese societies. In view of the data collected so far, the teaching package is well received by students, teachers and educators in Hong Kong.

To cut dead means to refuse to acknowledge another with the intent to punish. Gregory Ellison says that this is the plight of African American young men.They are stigmatized with limited opportunity for education and disproportionate incarceration. At the same time, they are often resistant to help from social institutions including the church. They are mute and invisible to society but also in their inward being. Their voice and physical selves are not acknowledged, leaving them ripe for hopelessness and volatility. If the need is so great yet the desire for help wanes, where is the remedy? Healing can begin by reframing the problem. While cutting someone dead is destructive, it can also serve to prune and repot a disfigured being giving new possibilities for life.In this provocative book, Ellison shows how caregivers can sow seeds of life, and nurturewith guidance, admonition, training, and support in order to help create a community of reliable others serve as extended family. "

Letters to Cody is a self-improvement guide book. The intent of this informational guide is to point out valuable; and moral subjects along with the wisdom of God, the Proverbs of Solomon, and other authors much greater than myself, whom I have learned from. I have heard it said that "experience is the greatest teacher, but it need not be your own experience." My hopes are to pass on what I believe are the smartest things that I have ever learned, to my Grandson. May this book be of value to others who also share my philosophy. Thank you.

This book is a tool to educate and impact both women and men who can learn from their mistakes and allow themselves to look within when it comes to life experiences, relationships and themselves. However, throughout this time of redemption it seems I continue to battle with myself. When a true artist (whether it's a painter, actor, musician, writer) creates a "masterpiece" during the process of their creation they go through a moment of turmoil. I see the good in me, this spirit that wants to break free from all of the destruction and despair that I have endured, and become the man I have always wanted and destined to be. Nevertheless, it seems as though I am stuck in this crossroad of my old behavior and disparaging lifestyle that has and still empowers my day to day life. So much so, I have blocked all positive energy or love from everyone. This struggle is equivalent to "the battle of good and evil." I can't allow this dichotomy to keep me from accomplishing the goals and path set before me. This is my opportunity to make this into a reality. Not a road to perdition but a road to redemption.
