Courage in Crises : Beyond Abuse, Anger and Addiction

A man who was shot to life tells the story of his abusive childhood, sordid adulthood, and now hopeful future. The book testifies to finding strength when life has robbed one of the desire to succeed.

Born and raised in Conyers, Georgia, James Brown joined the US Navy in 1989. Shortly after leaving the Navy, Brown was shot in the neck and robbed, leaving him paralyzed. Rather than feeling sorry for himself, he decided to change not only his life but also the lives of others. He established his own business as a motivational speaker and youth empowerment trainer. He has appeared on TBN, spoken at numerous churches, community affairs, correctional facilities, high schools, and has also recorded two video productions of his life story. Brown shares his message to people all around the world through mediums such as DVDs, CDs, books, and plays.
