Inspired by The Autobiography of Malcolm X, working at McDonald’s by day and attending classes by night, Greg pulls himself through high school and college and then law school, using in positive ways the innate intelligence that made him a master at crime. Even jail can’t keep him from going bad again once he gets out. Soon he becomes the youngest judge in Michigan history, a District Court judge and, at last, undaunted by the odds and propelled by his personal story, a sought-after and highly paid TV star.In its blunt, bold, and sometimes hair-raising honesty, Inner City Miracle is both a cautionary and an inspiring story, one sure to stun all those who come to Judge Mathis’s TV courtroom every day.. Raised in the hell of the Herman Garden Projects, he grows to become a “bad-ass, cool-dressing, do-anything gangsta.” His father gone, his mother juggling two jobs, he falls in with the Errol Flynns—“funkified English gentlemen” in three-piece suits and Borsalino hats, urban Robin Hoods who are truly stylish as they steal from everyone and give to themselves.Considered bright but incorrigible, Greg is sent to stay in his middle-class cousin’s mixed neighborhSome of these women you've heard of before, others have never been recognized for their work and that will change because of Dr. I love Dr. She is truly an amazing person.. It arrived as promised and everything else was fine.. Good introductory book, useful insights and quite motivational. I truly admire artists who take the time to share their knowledge and inspire others like Mark Dickson does.. Ruth is so funny and charming. As it is, it's going to be quite a while before I can hear that phrase without a flash of annoyance.Interesting personality, nice concept… poor execution.. highly recommend this.. It certainly made me look at Dr. Very easy to read, a must have for freelance illustrators!Also a great source of information, links, documents and more, from inspiration to taxes.. I have always admired her courage, her zest for life and her strong presence. Open it to just about any page, and you'll find at least one of these three things mentioned: her shortness, her impatience, and/or the ubiquitous "Joie de Vivre". Given that Dr Ruth encourages us to feel a full range of feeling it is disappointing that she mostly only expresses "happy" and "nice" feelings and doesn't give many clues on how to express the full range of emotions we might be feeling and use this to lighten our burdens and better ourselves. Basically the book is a guide on how to handle the vicissitude of life: the hurt, the grief, the losses that come our way.His turnaround came in 1977, when he heard Jesse Jackson speak. "Your heart is in the right place, but to win young people's minds and souls, you've got to have ammunition," Jackson told him privately, after his speech. Mathis's parable from the projects explores a world that will be crucially familiar to many and offers a way to reach poor teens who rightly feel misunderstood and underrepresented in the mainstream. . Mathis and coauthor Walker poetically render the rhythms of street language, at least to those who don't speak it, and fairly present Mathis's sometimes testosterone-driven male attitude, making this an honest feel-good story. We got a deal?" With the help of his single mother's Seventh Day Adventist discipline, his wife-to-be's book-hitting habits and many mentors, Mathis eventually studied his way into law school, passed the bar, toiled in Michigan politics, was elected a judge and landed a syndicated TV show, Judge Mathis.
