This autobiography has been rated one of my best read books in years past. I am thankful to God for my meeting Dr. Bradley over three years ago. A man of great integrity. His love for people and the desire for them to know their God have purpose and to live it out beyond genuine. This book truly lives out the scripture, Matthew 19:26...but with God all things are possible. To know the background of where he came from, he never once backed down from being better and doing better. This read has truth and how he engages the reader to think about their own life, makes one never want to put the book down until you have reached the end. This book is about a genuine man of God, who truly has a heart and care about people.

Resurrection!! Written in the vernacular of realism, Dr. Bradley's narrative of the conditions that shaped his life pulls the reader in from the first paragraph. Born and raised in poverty, with insufficient structure, and inadequate role modeling, he became a child of the streets in the Southside of Chicago. A fortuitous decision to join the Navy provided him structure and stability and gave him the tools to assess his life and his choices. Against all odds, his ability to self reflect and to identify life truth enable him to become the exceptional person his is today. This is no less than a story of resurrection...resurrection from the expectation that he would be dead by the age of 25; resurrection from the idea that his life did not matter; and resurrection into a consequential life. Dr. Bradley's personal catharsis shows everyone who reads this book that, indeed, there is life not bounded by the parameters of Racine Courts.

A True Page Turner... From the first page the author, Dr. Marvin Bradley was able to engage the reader, from that point on there was no thought at any point to stop reading. No Parking is so captivating I didn't realize the time, I was on the last chapter without ever putting his book down.
