"Ghandi Moments" excel
"Ghandi Moments" excel By Bill Ellis on November 26, 2013 We can only imagine how it felt to be faced with the racial prejudice experienced by author Dan Benevidez all his life, but his writing in For All The Wrong Reasons tells it in plain English with a fresh and inspiring style. Readers can sit back and admire Dan’s courage and writing ability for putting his thoughts, and feelings in writing. The book is richly flavored by fabulous examples of brotherly love despite continuing maltreatment by those with inferior motives. Benavidez’s "Ghandi moments" really impressed me as similar to the struggle by Jackie Robinson breaking into major league baseball.
Readers must set aside any stereotype of the Latino man. In honest, frank and revealing stories Dan Benavidez creates a new model for men as he displays his vulnerabilities for criticism. There are page after page of weaknesses, strengths, and just plain "Here I am" paragraphs asking for it. It is strength to admit weaknesses and to strive to be a better man. The author is there in spades.

Touched, Moved, and Inspired
Touched, Moved, and Inspired, April 7, 2013 By Jeannette R. Holtham "Youth Transformation Center"" This review is from: For All the Wrong Reasons (Paperback) This is a book for everyone! I was so moved not only by Dan's life story but by his equally inspiring candidness and exceptional insights about racism. That, coupled with his great humor and the easy flow of his writing style, had me read it in one sitting wishing it would never end. I will now use the book in my work with youth in prisons, many that have undergone some of the same experiences and who will be inspired to see how someone overcame those odds.
