Papa Don't Preach
Nigel Hawkins was as gangster as they come - a killer, hustler, pimp and strong-arm robber all rolled into one. He also had an addiction to heroin that led to a 10-year prison sentence. Now he's free, clean, has found strength and hope through God - but his demons come back with a vengeance when he realises his son is taking the road he walked before. Nigel is desperate to save his son from self-destruction - but will his love and faith be powerful enough, or will the temptations he has worked so hard to overcome drag him down again?

Papa don't preach ......What's the subliminal message?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Papa don't preach is a book loaded with subliminal messages that are made plain. In life we are our children's model, whether we like it or not. They are watching us, even when we don't think they are....and they are quietly storing things away...until one day the very things we did as parents come back to haunt as we watch out children...copy out actions. So it is very important that we sow the correct seed for our kids... This book also brings home the message that some people can change. It also drives home the fact that you have to be careful who prays for you and to you..... This books depicts the fact that that the love of drugs, fast money, and disrespect can only do one thing...lend to destruction. I actually rated this book 3.5

Couldn't Put the Book Down!!

The book is a very fast read. Nigel Hawkins lived a life of crime, then went to jail, & turned his life around only to come out and find out his son is following in his footsteps. Can he stop his son before he ends up like him or will he relapse and revert back to his old ways? I will definately buy more books from Thomas Long.
