Thank you for this essay. I’ve been reading so much negative about this series and all of it from a racial perspective, “this isn’t happening by white boys, rather by immigrants.” I haven’t wanted to watch it and am not sure I’m ready to now but I can say I will read your book. I am a 72 year old former educator and 40 years ago I told my husband we could open a home with the fatherless young men/ boy students I knew who were looking for direction in their lives. I pray we made a difference in some. Thank you again for speaking of the need for Godly men to raise Godly boys into men.

That is because it is supposed to be based on something that really happened and it was NOT a Caucasian male who murdered the girl. It was a black boy named Hassan Sentamu. Truth matters.

And I’ve read that it was already in production when that incident happened so I’m just not sure what the truth is other than we do have a boy/man problem in regards to what this article spoke of.

Owen, I'm curious, have you addressed the fact elsewhere that this is a false narrative based on the murder of Elianne Andam by Hassan Sentamu? Truth matters.

Amen! Believe it or not there are a whole lot of us, biblical women, or waiting and begging God to raise up biblical men.
