Reverend G’s Words of Encouragement

About the Book

My story begins as a native Floridian who grew up poor, on welfare, a high school dropout and without a father, who abandoned me at an incredibly early age in my life. But what I have learned in this life is that sometimes we are born in a disadvantaged situation, either being poor or dependent upon federal assistance for food and clothing. Combine that with a broken family structure, this lent itself to a life of struggles and setbacks. I blamed others for how I felt and how my life was turning out. I had a decision to make: I could either decide to remain in the state of blaming others or I could get up and do something about it. I decided to go with the latter, and I hope that you will come to the same decision after hearing my story.
