In her book Breaking the Cycle: A Weekly Devotional for Ex-Pimps, Players, & Thugs, Author Debra Davis gives motherly wisdom in the form of 52 weekly scripture-based devotionals that will encourage, inspire, and empower those leaving behind a jagged past and are trying to walk an upright path. With a son of her own incarcerated, she understands the struggle of bouts of hopelessness. Her hope in God is what strengthens her. It is the same hope that she extends to her readers. This book is a great tool for those in neighborhood outreach programs, prison ministries, re-entry programs, and all those who are walking away from street life and ready to embrace the truth of the gospel of Christ.
