A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

William E Coleman Jr is a unique individual. He knows something about rejuvenation of the soul. His soul was rejuvenated. He was forced to leave home at a young age. He left a rural country setting and was thrust into a satanic, " I got mine and will take yours" environment in New York City. He witnessed how when a cub is cut away from the protection of family and left to fend for itself, a sociopathic behavior kicks in and survival at any cost is all that matters. It becomes a way of life; Unless, someone or somebody introduces you to a different environment. He saw the breakdown of the black family and the obliteration of the old black church support . He was a high school drop-out, worked in a factory, live alone at age 15. He carried a 25 automatic pistol and a straight razor for protection, and attended night school after running from Harlem to get out of a street gang. He met a religious couple in Brooklyn who became his godparents and nurtured his spiritual growth. They started the rejuvenation of his soul. He entered the Army at age 17 at the beginning of the Vietnam involvement to get away from the poverty and fast growth of street gangs in Brooklyn. He received his GED while in the Army and attended community college after being honorably discharged. He became a New City Police officer in 1968 in the middle of this country's social unrest. He has a bachelor degree in psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. He is a national Urban Fellow with a Masters Degree in Public Administration and a Masters of Arts Degree with a concentration in Theology and Pastoral Care from New Brunswick Theological Seminary
