But Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14 NIV)

LEADER 4 THE AGES 

For Robert Mitchener, it was a figurative fireworks display for the longtime Raleigh, North Carolina businessman on Fourth of July 2022.

That’s because days leading to July 4, Mitchener announced the ceremonious release of Making Youth Matter: Creating Legacy Through Community, his highly-anticipated book that has created a fervent buzz across various message boards and social media platforms.

A book that is a suitable spinoff of Our Youth Matters, Mitchener’s youth nonprofit organization, Making Youth Matter: Creating Legacy Through Community is what this first-time author refers to as a “clarion call” for people everywhere to reach back into their communities to mentor the kids who live just around the block, according to a detailed introduction of this book at Amazon.com.

Moreover, Mitchener’s story challenges people of influence to spend time with youth developing meaningful interactions beyond one-time encounters.
