Critiques

Underprivileged and disillusioned kids retell stories from the Bible in their own authentic street-gang language.

Aimed at the Sixties kid who needed words like "cool" and "Big Man" to communicate with/about God.

Has a glossary of terms in the back so the older generation could know what the poems, prayers, etc. were talking about. Hard to believe they would not have known "I give" meant to surrender.

Interesting example of "back in the day."

"Juvies" - what today calls gangbangers - reinterpret Bible stories in their own language and their own experience.

Interpretations of Bible passages and stories, as told by some of God's bad-tempered angels with busted halos to Carl F. Burke, Chaplain of Erie County Jail, Buffalo, NY. Kids from city streets reveal startling insights into Bible passages...as they translate them into their own language for Carl F. Burke.
