Description
It's common for us to hear promotions about clothes our young people wear and the music they listen to. They are inundated with movies, video games and music CD's and videos. But rarely do we hear anyone promote a particular book that our children should read. They can name popular clothing lines, athletes, rappers, and hip-hop music artists, but how many of them can name modern-day authors and poets? How many of us have discovered that one author or poet or that one book in particular that we've encouraged our children to read because we believed it would have a positive impact on their thinking and on their lives? Dr. Cheryl Samuel Stover has published a book that is a "must read" for any young person growing up in today's America. Walk Out of the Shadows: Poetry to Inspire and Encourage Youth in the 21st Century was written to give our young people a sense of self-worth, hope, and faith to look forward to a successful life. The book was inspired by Dr. Stover's many years of working with disadvantaged and incarcerated youth who faced daily challenges because of poverty, mal-functioning homes, emotional problems, academic difficulties and a variety of other adversities. The poems, proverbs, and scriptures inside this book will encourage youth to build on their natural, God-given talents and use them to secure their own productive futures. Old and young alike will be motivated and inspired through the powerful message embedded in the pages of this book: follow your dreams, live your best life, and Walk Out of the Shadows.
