Publishers Commentary Aaron Communications III "A powerful story well told of struggle, defeat, & ultimate triumph. This generation's New biography of a different type of'Switchblade' while still under the shadow of the same Old Rugged Cross." Dennis Mansfield, CBS TV Commentator; State Director, Promise Keepers "Mr. Jensen, I served in the Marine Corp. and I've seen and been through some terrible things. As a POW (Prisoner of War) in Iran I learned how to truly hate people. I would like to tell you that your book, Left for Dead - Faith, Family, & the Mob, has touched something inside me I didn't believe was there. Your book has made me want a relationship with God." R.D.P., Retired United States Marine "See how the most hopeless trials can be turned to Gold. Definitely a book that you cannot put down from page one." Pastor Brad Ormonde, Harvest Christian Fellowship (Calvary Chapel - Riverside) "God can have a profound effect on people from all walks of life.God does not turn His back on anyone, not even gang bangers." Lisa Taylor-Austin, MS Ed., NCC, LPC, Forensic Gang Expert Witness "R.K.'s story goes beyond mere survival of severe child abuse, parental neglect, and addiction, his story is an inspiration to us all and sheds great insight for professionals and others who work with today's at-risk youth." Kathy Silbert-Sanders, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., Psychiatric Social Worker "Kids and teens will really be inspired by this book. This amazing story shows how your surroundings don't create who you are. Dreams are not just for those with a "fairy-tale" life, but also for kids who grow up hurting." Erin Sanders, Professional Teen Actress, Hollywood, CA
