    About this ebook

    This is the story of Carlton and his challenges as a young African American growing up with the trials of the sixties, seventies, and eighties. This fictional story closely relates to the lives of those who grew up during the Civil Rights movement. He started out in Sunday school, recruited by the Gangster Disciples at the age of twelve, following the death of Dr. M. L. King Jr., and joined the Black Panthers as a high school student. He attended Malcolm X College, recruited by the nation of Islam, converted back to Christianity as a young adult. He is now a pastor, a teacher, a mentor, a community leader, and a Christian author.

    This book should be read by every person who has chosen to take a stand against racism and injustice by every Christian, every African American, every African, and every man, women, boy and girl of African descent. For the record, we are all of African descent.

    This story will help to clarify the challenges of the African American growing up in America today and what the previous generation had to endure and how the next generation must continue to advance the cause of justice, righteousness, and the cross of Christ.

    Calvin Quarles

    Calvin Quarles is the pastor of the Church at Bolingbrook, a Christian ministry in Bolingbrook, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago. He is blessed to be the husband of Roxanne Quarles and the father of five children: Mikal, Corey, Melanie, Ceirstan, and Ceila. He has a passion for loving God and loving people. His heart’s desire is that all men would come to know Christ as the savior. Over the first twenty-five years of his life he was constantly faced with overt challenges related to race, prejudice, and segregation. Now he hopes to help this present generation identify their purpose and cause as they maneuver their way through the current challenges of being Christian and black in America. From his days as a boy, a young man in the world and in the church, he knew he wanted to write about how our God can take any circumstance and turn it into a story for his glory.
