    Great insight into the life of an FBI agent

    Thought it was a great book. Mr. Powers takes you through his troublesome upbringing and how he overcame the odds and resistence of many of his friends and simblings to become an extremely successful agent for the Bureau. He discusses his experience while an agent, both those on duty and off. I heard Mr. Powers speak once, and after hearing him speak I was so captivated that I purchased the book immediately and read it within a few days. A brilliant book from a brilliant man.

    This is an excellent book!

    I purchased this book after attending a forum on racial profiling which was put together by Dr. Powers and it has captured my attention. It's very insiteful. I intend to purchase copies as gifts for my fellow friends in law enforcement.

    Excellent! A Must Read!

    I have re-read Eyes to My Soul, and have met the author at Black Books Plus bookstore. I am recommending this book to many others who would appreciate the knowledge.
