Produktbeschreibung
There is a myriad of ideological beliefs and copious opinions presented today on the topic of gangs. Many questions have arisen on its origin, and some have even queried whether it is by design. In this book, Gang Violence Is By Design: Exposing the Lie, Pastor Leroy Bean endeavors to explain a postulation that has gone unaddressed for years. This book presents a panoramic perspective and awareness that will help countries recognize and address the root cause that has been camouflaged within our society for centuries. Pastor Bean is not trying to minimize one's personal or collective responsibilities regarding the choices they make, but rather expose the systematic entrapment that has been used as a catalyst and a haven whereby many behaviors derive. Pastor Bean hopes many will identify and understand the systemic cause that has been responsible for dividing and crippling the progression in many countries. His view is that people affected need to wake up and step out of their comfort zones and into their God-given design, which is needed to create the foundation essential for tackling this social epidemic called Gang Violence.

Pastor Leroy Bean was appointed as Bermuda's first-ever Gang Violence Reduction Coordinator. He is an ordained bishop, pastor, and counselor. He is also the founder of Transfiguration Ministries Church, Transfiguration Safe House for substance abusers, and the anti-violence organization C.A.R.T.E.L., which is an acronym for Challenging and Reclaiming the True Essence of Life. He is the author of a previous publication, "The Garden Within: A Place of Covenant Relationship." Pastor Bean has spoken both locally and internationally in places such as South Africa, Eastern Europe, Europe, the Caribbean, Central America, Canada, Polynesian Islands, and extensively through Northern America. As one that certainly is no foreigner to the criminal underworld and having once participated in such nefarious activities Pastor Leroy G. W. Bean 246 himself, he shares his testimony of how he was transformed and thrust into this arena. At the tender age of 13, he lost his maternal grandfather, with whom he lived, to murder. As his journey continued, he witnessed the shooting and murder of other close family members, which compelled him to make a difference. Pastor Bean says he did not choose this pathway, it chose him. He goes on to say "this is not a job, but a Call; for the Call equips you with the passion, vision, and strategy to carry out the work. A Call gives you the ability to rise above your critics and to focus on the task at hand." Pastor Bean currently holds a B.A. in Christian Counseling and Addiction, a Master's degree in Family Counseling and a second Master's in Government Public Policy, as well as a certificate in Law with a plethora of other certifications from gang specialist to Restorative Justice Train the Trainer, to name a few. Pastor Bean believes it is time for us as a country to address the root cause that has influenced and shaped our Island, Bermuda, for too long. He invites you to join him on this journey by reading this gripping, yet revelatory book called Gang Violence Is by Design: Exposing the Lie.
