    I ordered this for a loved one incarcerated. Him and another inmate in there are switching it off, they say it’s a really good book. The guy he’s sharing it with has life sentence. It’s giving positive energy to him when he needs it. I suggest this book !!

    Sent this to my brother whose incarcerated for making a bad choice in life. I’ve started him reading books that will help to change his thoughts about life and the importance of making better choices as well as how to be a man of integrity. He told me he loves the book and has shared it with other inmates who also love the book.

    This book is a very good book and easy to read. I brought this book for a friend that has been incarcerated for nearly 15 years. And he said he literally cried reading this. Because he was holding on to so much pain and holding a grudge on his circumstance instead of trying to figure out why he was put in the situation he was in and how he could grow and learn from his situation. I can tell that after reading this book. Let him look at life in a different light. He is now finding his purpose and helping others find there’s as well. Every Black man who is locked up should read. And to never give up. There is light on the other side of the tunnel.

    the message sent by Hill Harper is engaging and positive. I found that the organization of “things to do” was helpful for even those who are not incarcerated – planning resumes, schedules of goals, budgets, etc. As the message in your review says, it is a book of encouragement, hope and healing and I found it to be a book to be cherished.

    Every young person, and old, should read this book, incarcerated or not! It motivates, inspires, and explains how to live and plan one’s life. There is something for everyone. I was blown away by Hill. He puts his thought, advice, enthusiasm, and honesty up front and in an understandable, succinct style. This book should be given out in schools and made part of a program for youth nationwide.

    I would highly recommend this book. One can tell that the author, Hill Harper, spent a great deal of time researching and putting this book together. It is so special, It offers hope to those in our society who often times feel hopeless. If you are interested in taking a different look at prison life and urban affairs, this is recommended reading.
