Richard Bagsby’s Book Interview – Transformation: The Untold Story of Richard Richmond

Richard Bagsby wrote an autobiography about his traumatic childhood and his spiral downward that landed him into prison; Richard found the Lord and turned his life around—truly a miracle. To close out the chapters in the book, the author wrote mentor sessions to assist others going through difficult situations with encouragement and support in the way of emotional awareness, inspiration and motivation, and self-help actions to build resilience and mitigate dangerous situations. Richard utilized thoughtful analysis and practical guidance to embolden others, especially youth, to recognize challenges, disappointments, fear, grief, and loss for what they are and to use those experiences to leverage positive impact in their lives. At the end of the book, the glossary of terms is useful to explain many words in easy-to-understand language to promote clarity and thoughtful reflection. This non-fiction book is a good read for everyone and would make a great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer. Get yours today!
