Great book! What a story… “New Jack City” and “The Wire” meet Jesus!
It was necessary for me to read this book. Why? Because my compassion for addicts was zero.The book showed me the hell these people go through every day.We were all born into sin and most of us need deliverance from something. Thank God for sending The Deliverer! Very well written. Look forward to the next one.
I had many tears,reading this book,I did not understand what my ex husband and the father of my child,was going through many years ago.I feel this book is a must read.Alot of books do not keep me interested,this one did.I could not put it down! It made see so many things in a different light.Thank you Mr Young!I hope there will be many more books from you,I would buy them and read without hesitation.God bless you,And Thank you for the Insight .
I loved the book Mylow,it renewed my hope that GOD is still in control,and that HE can and has delivered us from every attack the enemy puts in our paths,,,
This book was so awesome. When I first picked it up in the library I was kind of hesitant but after the first page I could not wait to get to the next page. Great job!!
I have such a better understanding of the struggles that addicts and their families face. You did a great job of bringing the reader into the story. I read the book in three days cause I couldn’t put it down!
I enjoy reading your book. I believe the book is for all types of addicts. My husband was the gambler. So I could related to the losses and betrayals. God was there for me and I prayed for him and we are making it now thanks to the grace of God. Everything we loss is coming back. I as told him to write a book. I hope you will write another book.
I’m currently reading the book “Against the Gates of Hell: A Crack House Exodus”, and I am getting so much from it!! I’m only on chapter 16, and I’ve learned so many new things. One new thing that I’ve learned is that being “self-centered” does NOT only apply to folk that are very prideful and arrogant; it also applies to folk who are self-conscience as well. When I read that, I was floored!! That really hit home with me because I’m self-conscience–I mean self-centered–as well.
Then there’s my favorite character, who just so happens to share my name, Rene. I love her spirit and her Godly feistiness; she’s gonna let you know what’s up in a Godly way and with lots of love. To me she proves to be the glue that holds the family together. I can really relate to her in that I feel like that person for my family as well. One more thing that I have in common with Rene, besides our name, is that we both love to write. She writes poetry and songs (that is music & lyrics), and I write poetry and songs (just lyrics though) as well.
I am also learning what things are like for people suffering from and struggling with drug addiction. Looking at Kerby and seeing that he’s an okay dude makes me feel some comfort. After all, we all have problems and issues; they just come with a different set of circumstances for others. I really like the statement that was made that went drug addiction is just a symptom of the real problem (or something like that). It made me realize that people don’t use just to be using; they use to try to escape reality, to get away from a problem that they can’t seem to face, or to help cope with something that happened that they can’t change. I can also relate to this in that I was using social networks as a sort of escape at one time, but thanks be to God and the love of my life interceding for me, I shook loose from it.
I’m so looking forward to what the rest of the book has in store!! And as soon as I’m finished, I’ll be back to let you know more!!!! One Love Always—Christ’s Love!!!
Well, on Monday, April 9th at 6:45pm CDT, I finally finished this awesome book!!! Like I’ve already said, I’ve learned so many things!! This book was certainly a blessing to me, and it held my atttention from start to finish!! Throughout the story, I saw myself in many of the characters. This book is truly a MUST HAVE!!! It has been a blessing as well as a pleasure reading it!!
Thanks you, Bro. Mylow, for sharing your gift, your story, with us!! May God forever smile upon you and your family!!!
