“Gangs to Jobs” is a “how to” book about a program that helped transform the auto theft capital of California into a 2000 All-America City. Awakened by the 1992 Los Angeles riots, the Rev. Roger... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read this book and was so impressed with it that I started a similar(much smaller scale) program in North Carolina. Roger helps young men that have already been involved in gangs get jobs my idea is to help young men with alternatives(parttime jobs so they can finish school) before they get into gangs. I have bought numerous copies of this book and have given them to people I believe might be able to help young men either get out of gangs or not get into them. If you care about our future you will buy this book read and do likewise. Roger himself has been an inspiration and constant light for me as I got my program started. He is truley a man of God. If God is calling you to help young at risk youth, get this book. Suzanne
Hope for the Hopeless
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Law abiding citizens look at gang members with disgust and anger. Most would be satisfied if they were all locked up and forgotten. But not Rev. Minassian. Gangs to Jobs portrays the true story of hope, even for the hopeless. The book clearly shows how gang members can be rescued from a life of crime and how tax-burdens can become tax-payers and responsible members of our society. Read this book for a new (and proven) perspective on solving the issue of crime in America!
