In Lou Gelormino's world, he was the kid that the meek feared and the bullies emulated - being poor was his license to steal. The gangsters were his role models. His friends, like Vinnie Mophead, would rather hang off the roof of a four-story brownstone than do what was right. The turnaround began when Lou was brutally stabbed and facing a judge.

The Gent's Prayer is a book of HOPE!!! Lou overcame insurmountable odds through faith in God to not only become an outstanding political figure in NYC, but also to become an outstanding human being with a tremendous heart.

Lou was raised in a working class family where money was scarce and he and his brothers did what they had to survive. When his father died the family fell into a new level of poverty. Lou joined a gang, his brothers involved with drugs and gang activity were forced to do jail time, and his mother became mentally unstable. Lou's life was taking a bad turn but, he gets in trouble, is represented by a legal aid lawyer and decides that's what he wants to be. One day he met a woman named Mary Sansone (one of God's angel's on earth) who offered to show him a way out of the tumultuous life he was leading. God had a plan for Lou Gelormino's life which henceforth begins to unfold. Against all odds and with no tangible reason to think he could succeed, Lou progresses through college and law school. He meets God along the way which transforms his life and brings new hope and dreams into fruition. Take this journey through the dangers and disappointments of the life of one chosen young man in South Brooklyn to find out how God makes the impossibile, possible!

This book has been a blessing. It's encouraging and inspiring. The authors' flair for story telling and his testimony shows that through faith and trusting in god you can reach the fullness that god has set aside for each one of us.
Deuteronomy 8:18 - But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

This is a wonderful true story of God getting a hold of a young man trying to survive the streets of downtown Brooklyn in the 50's and 60's. Great history and an excellent read.
