Editorial Reviews

I have the great privilege of working alongside and equipping transformed men and women with the awareness that our youth need Madd Truth: Lasting Lessons for Students of Life--and that they need to hear it from messengers who have Madd love for them. I am thankful to Dr. Wyatt for taking what he has observed in life and put it together to provide guiding light for both the Credible Messengers working through their redemption and youth in need of light.
Belinda Ramos, Director of Training & Technical Assistance, Community Connections for Youth

​​​​​​In this discerning and penetrating work, Madd Truth, Dr. Wyatt offers fundamental precepts that are both insightful and practical. He provides an operational outlook that requires a deep and honest examination of our inner selves, as well as the social and communal problems we confront on a daily basis utilizing relevant stories, pervading community issues, and blunt social analysis. As a Credible Messenger and Youth Mentor, I strongly recommend Madd Truth: Lasting Lessons for Students of Life as a key reference for self-improvement and professional development.

The expressiveness of Dr. Wyatt's words touches the heart and soul, beneath the socialization that disguises the true essence of our beloved troubled youth. Madd Truth penetrates the spirit, in search of light that dwells within the dark places that life experiences have created. This book is an offering and a pathway to a level of dedication, compassion and tenacity rarely discussed in such a manner. Dr. Wyatt provides inspiration and hope to those who have been chosen and have answered the call to serve our youth.
