About Vernon T. Bateman Books
My Hope For You!! We have seen many fall and not return to the surface; been down for so long, they begin to believe that beneath the surface is where their hopes and dreams must lie, but I have come to profess the truth! And whenever truth is on the scene, there's an old adage that says, "Falsehood must flee." I have come to profess change in the fallen man; growth, development and a piece of hope. The very same hope that must travel across shores, and should land into the shacks over in Haiti, and that will rise up through the floorboards of orphanages in China. This hope will run down the gutters and seep through the windowsills of dysfunctional homes of our Canadian brothers and sisters. This very same hope will exercise its moments of breath through the ventilation systems in hospitals of Mexico where men, women and children fight for their next breath. Last, but not least, I pray that this hope will cross the thresholds of every American home whether it is oppressed, depressed or repressed. This hope will break free in the streets knocking down the strong towers of hate, and fill them with love. I am sure this is the same hope that will allow poverty to vanish, while encouraging the rich to give to those in need. This hope will snatch the malice of every young boy and girl, thus putting a halt to our youth on youth violence. This hope will give young mothers the strength to pick up where fathers have taken off. This hope shall break through juvenile warehouse providing every teenage boy and girl with reformation and transition that will bring about a reduction of recidivism. It is my prayer that we as a nation will have the reformation of this hope to save our children. This is my hope for you... By Author Vernon T. Bateman
