My book is designed to reach individuals that struggle with his or her sense of indentity. My life has always been a challenge and the lessons I learned from it helped me find my true self. I was misguided I thought the value of man was broken down into dollars and cents. No dollar value can compare to a person who helps people out of the kindness of their heart and not to be pompous. I use to believe that obtaining a quality education didn't matter because so many people where I'm from were criminals and they lived like rock stars. Some of my family members and peers had the American dream for moment but all that came to an end. I tried to follow in their footsteps but a higher power had a greater purpose for me. I made the transformation from living in darkness to light so I could do my part in trying to remove the blindfold from the eyes of Detroit's youths and the world if possible. My book is designed to inspire and motivate the world to discover his or her positive self and abandon negativity forever.

Proverbs of a troubled soul consists of fifty poems substantiated by fifty scriptures from the Bible. Each poem derives from my most personal experiences and deepest spiritual beliefs. Not every poem from this book rhymes all the way through. Some of the poems do not rhyme all the way through for the purpose of delivering my message from each poem appropriately. This book explains what a spiritual union between men and women is supposed to be in my opinion. This book also explains in detail why I believe the Bible can help someone live a moral life and fulfilling life as well. "Proverbs of a Troubled Soul" is also dedicated to my late father "Curtis Lee laster Jr." that passed away in November of 2013. Enjoy my book I hope you are blessed by it.
