God's Bad Boy - Paperback

by Bessie W. Blake (Author)

God's Bad Boy is a rapidly pace biographical narrative that reads like a novel. In this powerful story of a child caught in a web of ineffective social service systems, lessons learned at an early age merge with critical insights as the boy grows into a man who addresses the needs of children. James Blake pulls off the masks and replaces lies with truths that point to the reform of policies that govern youth services agencies. This book is instructive to childcare providers whether they are parents, social workers, teachers or counselors; and it, at the same time, offers models of success for young people who have lost hope. God's Bad Boy alternately fills the reader with anguish and laughter, and ultimately, with hope for the future of our children.
