My Judge and Jury: Convicted For My Differences promises to inspire others who may be going through similar struggles to find themselves through faith, self-love, determination and self-acceptance.
"Sticks and stones could have broken my bones: But words nearly destroyed me!
From elementary school to high school, during puberty, and my confusing teenage years I... just wanted a way to escape the pain.."
- Jason A. Dingus, author of My Judge and Jury: Convicted For My Differences (Candalyse Publishing, 2008), is an inspiration to many. He possesses the strength of character that many, much older than he is, only wish they had. Perhaps, it was the constant verbal and physical abuse suffered at the hands of small town folk who refused to accept his differences. Or, maybe his strength comes from his strong desire to show others that we are all the same in reality and we must accept those who appear different. No matter how Jason obtained his inner strength, he draws from his life experiences to compile a powerful book of poetry that chronicles his life.
