Reggie by Reggie Dabbs with John Driver

You Can't Change Your Past, But You Can Change Your Future

I do not know Reggie Dabbs and before I read this book, I didn't even know he existed. It was with some reservation that I chose this book to read. However, I am so glad that I did. It is filled with messages of hope, hope that often comes out of despair. Reggie has risen from a past that could have destroyed him. As the book states, "You can't change your past, but you can change your future." The book is a nice mix of personal anecdotes, Biblical accounts, and inspirational messages. This is a message that is so timely for young people today. This book would make a great graduation present. The ten chapters in the book contain information that encourages the reader to know ten things: to know your story, to know your truth, to know your pain, to know your choice, to know your voice, to know your name, to know your passion, to know your future, and to know your Father. At the end of each chapter are questions for individual and group discussions. Thse would be great for a mentoring program or even a small group of college students. Reggie has traveled the world sharing his message. Take a look at this book and let him share this message with you. I am confident you won't be disappointed.
