Blue Rage, Black Redemption: A MemoirA gripping tale of personal revolution by a man who went from Crips co founder to Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author, and antigang activist When his L. A. neighborhood was threatened by gangbangers, Stanley Tookie Williams and a friend formed the Crips, but what began as protection became worse than the original gangs. From deadly street fights with their rivals to drive by shootings and stealing cars, the Crips' influence and Tookie's reputation began
A gripping tale of personal revolution by a man who went from Crips co-founder to Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author, and antigang activist When his L.A. neighborhood was threatened by gangbangers, Stanley Tookie Williams and a friend formed the Crips, but what began as protection became worse than the original gangs. From deadly street fights with their rivals to drive-by shootings and stealing cars, the Crips' influence -- and Tookie's reputation -- began to spread across L.A. Soon he was regularly under police surveillance, and, as a result, was arrested often, though always released because the charges did not stick. But in 1981, Tookie was convicted of murdering four people and was sent to death row at San Quentin in Marin County, California. Tookie maintained his innocence and began to work in earnest to prevent others from following his path. Whether he was creating nationwide peace protocols, discouraging adolescents from joining gangs, or writing books, Tookie worked tirelessly for the rest of his life to end gang violence. Even after his death, his legacy continues, supported by such individuals as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Snoop Dogg, Jesse Jackson, and many more. This posthumous edition of Blue Rage, Black Redemption features a foreword by Tavis Smiley and an epilogue by Barbara Becnel, which details not only the influence of Tookie's activism but also her eyewitness account of his December 2005 execution, and the inquest that followed. By turns frightening and enlightening, Blue Rage, Black Redemption is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and an invaluable lesson in how rage can be turned into redemption.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Study Bible
Format: Imitation Leather, Format: Imitation Leather
I’m very happy with this Amplified Study Bible.
First the large print makes it so much easier to read than the comfort print Bibles.
I love study Bibles. I have 3 different translations I like to reference.
I don’t think The Amplified Bible is for everyone. My husband doesn’t care for it. Although he will ask me to cross reference scripture out of it at times.
I love how this Bible explains and expands the meaning in scripture. It makes it easier to understand some of the scriptures.
The Study Notes are amazing. Giving even more context and insight into scripture. The Theological Notes are great they give scripture a whole new depth. I appreciate the Book Introduction, they help set the stage for what’s taking place in that particular book. The cross reference system of this Bible helps with cross referencing. The Full color Maps and Bible Lands are wonderful. They help the reader to be able to visualize where things take place.
The quality seems very good. The cover seems well made. The pages feel like they’re made from high quality paper. My highlighters don’t bleed through to the other side.
Overall I’m very happy with this Study Bible and love having this Bible in my collection.

Great Bible to add to your library
Format: Imitation Leather
The Bible reads as it is described to read. I have found one typo in the text in the three days since I received it: what should be a "they" is written "thy." 2200+ pages. Great companion text to fill in words whose omission may cause a subject or object confusion in verses. The Bible provides in-text dates and lineage to frame the narrative. I am well-pleased with the purchase.
