From Delinquent to Disciple

Dear James, thank you and stay strong in your work! There is a price to pay for speaking the truth. There is a bigger price for living a lie.

Mr. Robinson is a person of whom the young people, as well as adults, can admire….There was not one time that he showed any indication of backing down from a seemingly invincible opponent…he is one of the few people that I feel comfortable with, confirming their character.

--Reverend David R. Williams

James is younger than I, but in terms of influence and wisdom, he has touched so many people in many ways, including my life. …He writes his character letter each day and there is something new added each day. If half the younger generation was like Bro. Robinson, what a different world this would be.

--Deacon John Jefferson

James showed extraordinary courage as the lead plaintiff in an historic civil rights case against one of America’s top corporations – Robinson v. Ford Motor Company. James Robinson’s impressive, soft spoken, yet strong leadership, paved the way for others. He literally has opened the doors for hundreds of his co-workers. He fought the Company with the  utmost dignity, intelligence, and with the firm belief that the arc of history bends towards justice.

I believe James’ story is a modern day parable of what God can do in the life of a person who has yielded to His will. James’ story is compelling and will resonate with others because of the parallel path that other African American men have lived and overcome.

--Reverend Dr. Harry L. White

When I read Romans 8:37, you are a poem and thanks for never giving up. It takes courage to stand up and speak!

Romans 8:37 says” In all these things we are more than conquerors.”

All of America will see in this book a personal struggle that came to a successful end.  I dare say, that it is not only at risk youth that need to read this book, but their parents also.

James Robinson, has shown that a life without growth is no life at all, and that all things are possible if you believe.

--Steven McGee, M. Th. ,Pastor Greater Faith Baptist Church

James has demonstrated to be both a teacher and student of life’s challenges. Through his life story he has showed us his knowledge, understanding and love for Christ, were the driving forces for his success.

--Deacon Ken Thomas, Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church

If there was ever a true testimony of a man who pulled himself up from trouble and turned his life around, not to mention the lives of those around him, your story and life history is one to be told.  If only our young generation knew what men like you have done to prove that anyone can change if they will only let God come into their lives.
