Summary: excellent
Review: The book was addictive and compelling in the way Smalley and Trent were able to write descriptive words that captured my life in print. I was compelled to read and read because every page demonstrated and described the changes that takes place inside of all us with spiritual guidance from Christ . If our attitudes change so do the people around us.

Summary: A must for teachers and parents
Review: This is one of the most outstanding books I'v ever read. As a (beginning fifth year) Bible Theology student I have to read many books on many subjects. This is one of the most prized books of my collection and a "must read" for parents and teachers. Don't let this one get away!

Summary: A childhood of chaos becomes poetry.
Review: This memoir is heartbreaking. Out of a careless and addicted family that was plagued by accidental deaths and day to day chaos, Gregory Orr grew to be a poet. His guilt at killing his younger brother caused him to examine each day and each experience with a keen appreciative eye. His childhood, after the hunting accident that killed his brother, was a bleak landscape of depression and guilt. And yet, he appreciates life and it's beauty. This is the story of how he overcame his desolate adolescence and threw himself into the Civil Rights movement as blood payment on his sense of guilt. He also analyses his parents' marriage and his father's addiction to speed that made his childhood so disorganized and unstable. His survival of both childhood and barely avoiding becoming a civil rights martyr marks the beginning of his healing. Living through the SNCC voting rights effort allows Orr to eventually make peace with himself and to record the beauty of what he sees around himself. A good book of a spiritual journey. Well worth reading.
