48 stitches down his spine, arrested for the third time,
Lou heard the prayer:
"Dear Lord, teach me to use my talents. . . ."

"The Gent's Prayer is a treasure. It reads like a modern-day Horatio Alger story but with a twist. How refreshing and how genuinely honest to read a story of a tremendously successful man who understands why he is successful and who made him that way. Knowing him as I do, he is a man at tremendous peace with himself because he is at peace with God and God's purposes for his life. A deeply moving and heartwarming story, sure to bring hope and inspiration to all its readers."
