READERS RESPONSES
“Since I first read some of his writings over 20 years ago, I knew Keith was
going to a special author. I have been presented with many opportunities to
endorse the works of other authors hoping to find a publisher. I have always
declined, until now. Keith Driscoll has written a novel that is beautiful in its
story and also important in its message. A Walk across the Sun deserves a wide
audience. And I strongly suspect that Dr. Driscoll will be heard from again and
again.”

PREFACE
This is my book ‘Transformed. From Ghetto to Glory, The life you can live’.
Without God I was hopeless mentally, physically and surely spiritually. I had
money, I had a job. I had all the material things that I could ever want, but I was
empty and shallow because I had not God. This is more than your typical self-
help book. This book is about having a shift in your life from your will to God’s
Will. This book is about organizing your love your hopes and your dreams is
about a transformational change that is designed to help you to get the ultimate
happiness in the life that is given to you .I wrote this book because it provides a
framework of personal transformation that would help anyone come from any
situation I would not have written this book if I felt could not help anybody. As
more and more people seen me become transformed and become a better person
they wondered why and they asked me to write this book to help them to help
their families to help their coworkers to help their churches. This book is
definitely a teaching tool for all. If you work with people with behavioral issues
or people who just want to break habits this book can help. Please enjoy my
book.
God bless you.
Dr. Keith
INTRODUCTION
This is my book entitled transformed from ghetto to glory, this is my new
book transforming your life
Going from Street to stress free, from accused by the world to acknowledged
by God from convicts to Christians how to go from being on the outside with the
world to the inside with Christ. This book is long overdue but I thought this was
the right time and necessary for us to take the steps to transform into the image
that God wants us to be there are many things going on in the world but at least
we have our Savior we if we hang on to God I’m taking and we can transform
not be of the world while were still living in the world.
Hello my name is Dr. Keith Driscoll I’ve been abused falsely accuse issues
and anger for hard and dangerous life I’ve been told that I wouldn’t amount to
anything I’ve been told that I should be dead I had a gun pointed to my head I
slept in my car .then I met Jesus and it changed my life it transformed me. He
made me a new person. He gave me strength. He gave me courage, and he gave
me aspiration and inspiration. Aspiration to do and go achieve all my goals and
inspiration to know that which Christ I can do all things that’s the reason for this
book is called ‘transformed’ The life I now live, and it will or I prayed that it
will help anyone who reads it to overcome any problem that they may have in
their life.
One thing I might’ve overlooked to tell you is that I was born with a disability
Asperger’s syndrome and growing up with the disability in the 60s and 70s was
like a voodoo. It was such a shame to be diagnosed with a disability back in the
60s and 70s that it was always hidden from the world and it was hidden from
me, but that was for my protection if it wasn’t for my mom. If it wasn’t for God,
if it wasn’t for my relationship with Jesus Christ. I would never been able to go
from miserable to marvelous from ghetto to glory from living in a negative life
took to the life I now live.
