Sanae Mentis

SANAE MENTIS provides a provocative discourse into the social ills confronting our youth today. With startling disclosures, it addresses the reality of two worlds converging, both expressive of life itself, as only each has experienced it. The author sets out to delve into the hearts of these young people in a quest to understand what has increasingly professed itself as a degenerative nature with uncompromising voice. Sanae Mentis allows us to hear the crying voices of children who are in need of help, as they struggle to survive in a world which has changed so rapidly and promiscuously at their expense.


As an educator, parent, and counselor, I find this book to be significantly worthy in its portrayal of youth in crisis. The poignant stories of its characters, serve to remind all of us that 'no man is an island.'


The overriding moral responsibility of a civilized society is designed to nurture and provide our children with the opportunity to become productive and creditable citizens. We must prepare them holistically, to face the challenges of today and tomorrow's world.


Not withstanding our own coup detat, adults must collectively acknowledge their precarious roles in having created these potentially negative and explosive scenarios. Righting the wrong, that we have in our society, can only be done by recapturing the definitive integrity and sound authority of our moral values. Then and only then, can we thwart the decaying values of a generation trapped in regrettable chaos and detrimental conflict. The stage must be set on a proper course toward a positive mode.

As a wife and mother, I applaud the efforts of the author in sharing his story with all of us who share the joy and yes, the pain of raising children who will ultimately shape the face of centuries to come.
