Incredible information
John K. McLaughlin writes an interesting book about teaching business ownership to prisoners in Lifeline to a Soul. This book gives a lot of information about educating prisoners, and one of the first things that caught my eye was the dedication. "To anyone who has broken the law, learned from the experience, and became a better person because of it." I was very impressed with the ambition and motivation and the compassion for teaching prisoners, so they have skills if and when they get out. They can get a new start. Part of having a prison record, makes it hard to find a job and home. This book tells how they were taught, the struggles that both the teacher and prisoners were dealing with, and there may have been prisoners who learned to better their illegal business. This book captures the reader's attention at the title. Entertaining and educational. He talks about knowing how he is going to jail, one way or another, as he's a drug dealer, of marijuana. So, he's not just a teacher, but he's one of them as well. He has something in common with them. Lifeline to a Soul is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book, to also write a review.
