There's an A in Every mAn Larry D Johnson

This book is primarily to inspire men. However, I believe anyone who reads it will benefit from it whether you're a male or female. I was inspired to write this book after volunteering as a teacher at a local prison located outside of Little Rock, AR. While volunteering as teacher, it gave me an opportunity to see the greatness in every man I taught, instead of focusing on what they did to put themselves in their current position. As I sat and watched men on television being shot in front of their children and wives, being shot in their backs, being shot up close range, being shot while their hands were in the air, being shot for walking through their own neighborhoods, being shot while their mate filmed it, it brought me to my knees. Not because I've given up, but because I needed to hear from God and get up and do something. After watching so many men of color being shot primarily by white police officers, I knew I had to write a book of encouragement in hope of helping those that have been affected as well as those who have lost hope. I am not saying that that men or people from other races don't experience the same. I'm saying that statistics, television, and the internet proves that black men are treated totally different by most white police officers. I pray that this book not only helps those that have been affected in one way or another by a loss of a loved one, but I also pray that those that are the major contributors to the suffering and loss of so many black fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, nephews, and cousins will take the time to read this book as well.
