Advance Praise

"The Jonathan Effect is not only a blueprint for social action, it is a reflection of an author who does more than write: he lives his philosophies and employs his own call to action. With this book, Mike Tenbusch dismantles a current crisis with an age-old approach—begin with caring, trust your beliefs, get out to where the problem is, and never give up on children. I've seen it work, as I've seen Mike work. The world is a better place as a result."

I think that this is a must read for anyone who works in a low income area, not just schools. Having worked in a poverty stricken library branch, I witnessed many of these situations day in and day out. Knowing that there are people trying to study and recognize what's happening is encouraging. I will purchase this book.
