Reclaiming Our Children
Praise
A Visionary/Practical R/X for Imprisonment Prevention…and More
"Controversial I can certainly predict Dixon’s work will be; he writes boldly, with a frankness, sureness and authority of manner some readers may resent. Yet open minds will, I believe, see past any initial “bristling” Reclaiming Our Children may provoke, to learn from a hard-forged wisdom that can, if heeded, change the way Americans live, love, parent, create, discipline, find joy and build our future."

New Book About Troubled Youth Deserves Your Attention
"Reclaiming Our Children offers a fascinating look into what comprises good households verses conscious households and how the later serves as a transformative power for the lives of our children. Also learn how impoverished neighborhoods are linked to impoverished mindsets and sustained through the process of mind conditioning which breeds thoughts of self acceptance."

Must the Young Die Too?
"Children are murdering each other at school; children are murdering their parents and committing suicide in record numbers....Dixon offers no apologies for writing from a Christian perspective. God is at the center of his life and he believes that parents must teach children about a God who created them and loves them.
Who cares? Robby G. Dixon cares. I care....And if you do not already care, you will once you read this informative and touching book."

A Profession of Faith
"Considering its subject - nothing less than the overhaul of current American political and social systems - Robby G. Dixon's "Reclaiming Our Children - Exposing the Nets That Snare Them" is, at barely 125 pages, a surprisingly slim volume. And yet, loath as I am to use cliches, to those who would shy away from the book for its lack of heft I would say "Good things come in small packages. In the introduction Dixon states his goal was to write a
book that "is easy to read, understand, and apply to . . . situations in
the lives of all its readers and . . . to society at large."

"In many ways, it is a frightening expose' of America’s growing cancer
where children commit crimes, some very serious such as murder. I would recommend "Reclaiming Our Children" to every reader; to psychologists, ministers, social workers, politicians, and wardens, because every one of us in the United States is concerned, openly or secretly, about the demoralization of our country. We’ve shared Nixon's Watergate, Clinton’s Sex Scandal, Bush’s War, The
Twin Towers, Columbine, Enron, and a host of other unforgettable
moments in our lives. We've just lived through the killing spree that
occurred a few days ago at a fitness center near Pittsburgh...Dixon’s easy to read book might help change attitudes toward those in prison. It might give inmates a sense of hope and inspire them to change their values before returning to society. Better still, it may goad those in authority to provide needed societal changes to halt mental imprisonment before it occurs."
