Inspiration on Black America Blvd.

This book was one of the best books that I've read, from the first page to the last. The inspiration and life lessons written here were simply phenomenal. Judge Mathis is truly "an inner city miracle." This is truly what people go through on a daily basis and the struggle itself is an eye-opener! Not to mention the consequences of one's choices while in the struggle. This book for me hit home in so many areas of me and my children's lives, and I have recommended this book to everyone I know; young and old alike for encouragement and preseverance throughout life no matter what it brings.

Judge Mathis

This book should be required reading in schools. Judge Mathis started out on the wrong foot but he turned his life around and made something of himself. If you watch his show, you'll see that he is a good man and very fair.

Inspiration to All

Greg Mathis' life story is amazing! "Inner City Miracle" explains the reason I'm such a big fan of Judge Mathis' court TV show. This book is told by Mathis from the heart - no effort is made to sugar coat the bad decisions he made throughout his youth. In addition, Mathis frankly discusses his political views, his relationship with his wife, what he didn't like about the justice system that lead him to being a Detroit judge, and so much more.

"Inner City Miracle"

This autobiography by Judge Greg Mathis is an outstanding autobiography that reviews the gang to gavel life of this outstanding individual. Mr Mathis recalls his early childhood years and his troubled teenage years in a way many can relate to. I would recommend this book to any person who finds it hard to escape a life of crime, gangs, drugs and poverty, or a person who works in any field that deals with these issues.
