Brushes with Death: The Blood of Jesus is an autobiographical novel
detailing several dangerous encounters that the author experienced
living a life of crime. The story also references the author's
inner struggle of dealing with his conscience and his moral values
as he battles the paradigm of doing wrong when he knows to do
right. The book also alludes to the main character's faith and how
it kept him safe during his waywardness. The reader travels with
Slick, the protagonist as he tryies to resist temptation of money,
drugs, women, gambling, guns, alcohol, sex, prison and more. The
394 page novel is factual and based on truel events. Names and some
situations have been distorted to protect the innocent and the
guilty. This book serves as a deterrent to those youth who are not
yet enthralled in but are considering a life of crime. It also
serves as encouragement to those still entwined in a life of crime
and violence to digress from their actions. The book is in no way a
promotion of like activities. The author hopes that his experiences
will shed light on the destructiveness of drug dealing and give
those who have no knowledge an inside perspective on the who's,
what's, when's, where's, why's, and how's of street living. It is
sophisticated but yet real; explicit but not trashy.
