“As a College Instructor on the subject of Modern Street Gangs, I have been blessed and proud to use this book as the textbook for my course. First, it deals with the subject in an honest presentation. Second, it hits firmly on the spiritual side of the gang issue, which is a side that many have missed. Third, it has plenty of scripture citations and examples, making it easy for pastors and youth ministers to follow. This book gets ‘best in show’ in my view. Know that a sequel is on its way. Ray Johnson is a great writer! You won’t be ashamed to add this to your street gang library!”
