Book Cover & Preview Text
The lifestyle I came from is not a walk in the park. Neither is the walk with God. If you can sacrifice for those things in the world, you can sacrifice for the love God has for you. I pray that each and every individual receives this warning and takes heed because the time is now to fly right, leaving all negative things behind. God is a jealous God and He will not be put on hold until you get ready. My brothers and sisters, the calling for you is now so put on the armor of God and let us choose the right side. We are currently at war with the enemy. You must stay strong and keep faith in the Lord. He knows what is best for you. We must stand and ask to be delivered from our sins, having faith that we will be delivered from them. I ask God to give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to do the things He wants me to do. The thing most people want is to be loved and God truly loves us all. The main thing is to trust Him. When you put all your trust in God you cannot go wrong. I trust the Lord with all my heart because I know what He has done for me and what He will do for you. I have spent all my life wanting and longing for things. This is specifically for those of you who live your lives in the streets. I have been through it all. I have been shot, robbed, and I have stolen from others. In spite of all I have done, God has forgiven me.

About the Book
The need for spiritually gifted, enthusiastic, faithful, and obedient men and women who are completely sold out to Christ cannot be overstated. In these pages, Mitchell presents his incredible testimony of how God's redeeming grace has healed and delivered him from a life riddled with pain, guilt, depression, and loneliness. Regardless of one's background or past mistakes, God has forgiven them and has a place for them in His heart. Mitchell illustrates these points with examples from Scripture and through his own personal, intimate relationship with God. He writes how everyone has a calling on their life and now is the time to open their eyes and answer God's call.
About the Author
When A. A. Mitchell was around 10 years old, he and his family moved from Long Island, New York to Jackson, Mississippi. He made new friends and played various childhood games with the kids in the neighborhood. At the age of 14, however, those childhood games changed into street games: the use and sale of drugs and alcohol, gang fights, and petty theft. Soon after, he would drop out of high school and become a father-to-be.
So how and why did a smart, gifted child turn to a life of violence and crime at such a young age?
Having suffered through a very tumultuous and extremely difficult relationship with his father, A. A. Mitchell has now discovered the freedom to live victoriously by putting God first and receiving the love of Jesus Christ. By applying God's Word to every aspect of his life, A. A. has personally opened his own eyes to the calling God has placed on his life and now earnestly desires to help others. From his battle with his abusive childhood and personal drug abuse to the struggles of his incarceration, he speaks very candidly about his experiences so others can apply what God has taught him to their lives.
