Reggie - by Reggie Dabbs (Paperback)

About the Book

Dabbs's life changed when in the second grade he realized his parents were not his real parents, and that his birth was the result of a $20 deal his 16-year-old unwed mother made to secure food for her three other children. Interwoven with anecdotes and stories from the Bible, this text shares his message that people can't change their past, but they possess a unique potential to change their future.

Book Synopsis

I don't have to see your home to know your shame . . . I have my own.

But someone loved me just the way I am, and someone loves you just the way you are.

Meet Reggie Dabbs.

Born as the result of a heart-wrenching decision made by his then sixteen-year-old mom, Reggie offers hope and inspiration to those who are stuck in the despair of their broken beginnings and are crying out for help. It is this first chapter in his life that sets Reggie on the journey of a lifetime--one filled with fear, regret, sorrow, and, ultimately redemption. Taking a chronological look at his life, Reggie reveals the transforming power of faith, weaving in personal anecdotes, biblical principles, and ten ways to discover everything from your voice and your name to your hero and your passion. Prepare to discover, as Reggie did, that although you cannot change your past, you can change your future.
