Mike Ramey/Certified Gang Specialist "As a College Instructor on the subject of Modern Street Gangs, I have been blessed and proud to use this book as the textbook for my course. First, it deals with the subject in an honest presentation. Second, it hits firmly on the spiritual side of the gang issue, which is a side that many have missed. Third, it has plenty of scripture citations and examples, making it easy for pastors and youth ministers to follow."

Thug Mentality Exposed will take the reader on a raw and bold journey into the heart of the thug world through the eyes and experiences of a correctional counselor and photojournalist. Trends such as the hyphy, crunk, gangsta, goth and witchcraft movements among others are stealing the identities of ordinary kids and transforming them into hardened thugs through out America and many parts of the globe. These trends base themselves at the core of thug mentality and are ripping apart our society in ways that will forever change the social, moral, and financial foundations we have come to rely upon in our daily lives. Now is the time to educate ourselves on these deadly social issues that can drastically impact our loved ones. With this knowledge, we can begin healing by providing truth and hope to an expected at-risk population from being incarcerated or held bondage by deadly addictions which are leading many to an early grave. Did you know that 'pant saggin' actually started with male prostitutes in the prison system and that the word Thug actually derived from India out of a murderous religious cult? Discover numerous astounding facts like these in this riveting new book that you will not be able to set down. More info. please go to: thugexposed.org
