This book is a compilation of short stories ranging from my own life experience, stories that I have created, and some dreams that I've had while sleeping or meditating... Some are fictional while others are in fact true stories and I like to leave that for you to decipher which ones may or may not be real to you.. While using my silver cord during meditation I have had some out of body experiences that make for some great stories... Most of my inspiration and writings come from my personal life experiences from when I was just a young boy to a teenager in high school and into adulthood... The title of the book is in honor of my clique the hood rats from St. Petersburg Florida where we grew up hanging out in the alley by the overpass... We have so many stories that this book really only scratches the surface and I plan on writing a sequel as a novel to "The Book of Devastation..." Obviously, I will be putting a twist on the story to make it a fictional novel but is it fictional? I truly do believe the reality of our spirituality.. Its up to you to decide what to believe and what not to believe. I think that is what makes this book somewhat devastating to hear because I lay it all out on the line for people to read. No holding back I thought and is also what makes it so funny and interesting to read at the same time. Its straight to the point and tells the stories nice and handsomely... I also covet some ideas that we are just now becoming aware of today concerning spirituality that will make for some interesting things to come, I believe. A time machine? Who needs a time machine if you're a spiritual warrior... In magic the possibilities are endless so I invite you to open your heart and mind to our universe and the possibilities we are so lucky to embrace today. A big shout out to my family and friends along with my heavenly family you know who you are. Thank you for your support it really means the world to me... I hope you like it! See ya real soon! As if... lol
