In this book I relate dozens of dramatic events from my own troubled youth to illustrate the willingness of a loving God to deliver us from the worst of circumstances. The solutions I offer for making a positive transition from a destructive past have worked for me for over 30 years. Pulling No Punches delivers a knock-out blow to the attitudes and choices that prevent us from conquering the evils that hold us in bondage. Whether you are just looking for an exciting story of gaining the victory over past mistakes, or searching for answers to the problems that are troubling you, I believe you will find this book to be challenging, informative and inspirational. I thank God for allowing me the privilege of sharing part of my life with you. May the Master over all Creation bless you, as you read Pulling No Punches. I was born June 13, 1947 in St. Louis, Missouri. My antisocial behavior resulted in three trips to reform school and two stretches in a prison that had been called "the bloodiest 40 acres in America." Although this did not prove to be the best formula for a bright future, something miraculous happened! God intervened!
