There usually is more than one reason why we succeed at our individual as well as collective goals. Likewise, there are several factors involved in our struggles. Therefore, this small book is not meant to be a cure all for what ails our family and community (African Americans). It is a partial solution to what I believe to be the primary cause of our difficulties, namely, the ramenets of the traumatic experience of four-hundred years of enslavement here in America, that have been passed down through our DNA. This Treaties is meant to address what has been too long ignored concerning why there is an epidemic of violence, addiction, sucide and crime in our homes and community. Our community is not only being devastated by these social-ills, but the gains we have made over the last hundred years through sacrifice and protests, are also being decimated.

HISTORICAL kills one in every ten of (a group of soldiers or others) as a punishment for the whole group. the man who is to determine whether it be necessary to decimate a large body of mutineers''). I note the definition of 'decimate' because I want to emphasize the point that we are literally dying by the tens-of-thousands at both our own hands as well as at those of police officers, who deem Black lives as expendable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51044712448273,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51044715823377,"sku":"NIN9781664109629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619042095377,"sku":"NLS9781664109629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664109625.jpg?v=1751344328"},{"product_id":"crisis-counseling-workbook-book-danny-ray-christian-9781664109339","title":"Crisis Counseling Workbook","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51045077025041,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51045079580945,"sku":"NIN9781664109339","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52583566901521,"sku":"NLS9781664109339","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664109331.jpg?v=1751024771"},{"product_id":"parenting-tips-for-a-new-age-book-danny-ray-christian-9781664191242","title":"Parenting Tips for a New Age","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51045089968401,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51045092426001,"sku":"NIN9781664191242","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531827736849,"sku":"NLS9781664191242","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664191240.jpg?v=1750960921"},{"product_id":"god-is-bigger-book-danny-ray-christian-9781664178038","title":"God Is Bigger !!!","description":"God is Bigger than all your problems and the world's problems combined Whether we want to admit it or not, many of us are just too dramatic when it comes to talking about our challenges and troubles. We always discover after we have gone through the storms of life, that they weren't that bad after all. We find that we worry ourselves to death for no reason. The Psalmist tells us in Psalms 121:1, A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help, (KJV). Where our focus goes, so goes our trust and confidence, thus if we are focusing on our problems instead of on God and the Promises of His Word, we will inevitably be discouraged when faced with adversity. This book is about doing better as we learn better concerning what it means to trust God and walk by faith. I know that we can conquer all the obstacles in our lives if we follow the example of King David, and look up at the Savior Jesus Christ and Heaven, and not at the mud and mire at our feet (our problems). No matter how big your problems or the world's problems, GOD IS INFINITELY BIGGER  Along with talking about the awesomeness of God in this book, I also share my thoughts about His Grace and the meaning of Faith. Overall the crux of all the spiritual issues addressed herein, is the fact that life is much better when you have a personal relationship and awareness of God the Father and Christ the Savior.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51126086205713,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51126086631697,"sku":"NIN9781664178038","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52476935045393,"sku":"NLS9781664178038","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664178031.jpg?v=1750863779"},{"product_id":"pandemic-survival-manual-inspiring-meditations-to-help-us-get-through-these-diff-book-danny-ray-christian-9781984578815","title":"Pandemic Survival Manual Inspiring Meditations to Help Us Get Through These Difficult Times","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51169343865105,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51169345831185,"sku":"NIN9781984578815","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52677577212177,"sku":"NLS9781984578815","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1984578812.jpg?v=1751283841"},{"product_id":"three-part-process-to-breaking-the-recidivism-cycle-book-danny-ray-christian-9781524529109","title":"Three-Part Process to Breaking the Recidivism Cycle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mere fact that you are holding this book in your hands is proof that being an addict and having an X on your back isn't a life sentence to failure. I was both an addict and prisoner for thirty years, yet today I live life as a clean, sober, and productive member of society--as a published writer and motivational speaker. I am living proof, and you can become proof also that a thing men did, a man may do again. I wrote this book because I saw everybody dedicating their time, effort, and money to try to solve every problem of society except answer the question What is going to get the brothers off the corner and keep them out of prison? Since I was once one of the brothers on the corner and in prison, I figured that it might help if I shared with those still on them and in prison how I broke the cycle of going in and out of rehab, prison, and the mental hospital. My experience has shown me that there is a way out of the revolving door of recidivism, but it requires work and commitment to change. There was a three-stage process to me ending my involvement in the penal system and addiction. It included (1) admitting the problem, (2) accepting responsibility for my role in it, and (3) surrendering to a higher power that could get me out of it. I believe this is a viable formula for anybody who wants to go from brokenness to wholeness. I encourage you to try it if you are tired of going around and around in the vicious cycle of addiction, prison, and purposelessness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51187526533393,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51187527614737,"sku":"NIN9781524529109","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52536554717457,"sku":"NLS9781524529109","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1524529109.jpg?v=1751340917"},{"product_id":"wheel-life-story-of-dionte-christian-book-danny-ray-christian-9781664167230","title":"The Wheel Life Story of Dionte Christian","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51227770355985,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51227772354833,"sku":"NIN9781664167230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52476273099025,"sku":"NLS9781664167230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664167234.jpg?v=1751152529"},{"product_id":"don-t-judge-hug-book-danny-ray-christian-9781664161726","title":"Don't Judge, Hug!!!","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51254901375249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51254902882577,"sku":"NIN9781664161726","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52484062937361,"sku":"NLS9781664161726","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664161724.jpg?v=1751215516"},{"product_id":"ten-part-book-to-maximizing-your-potential-book-danny-ray-christian-9781514417256","title":"A Ten-Part Book to Maximizing Your Potential","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51257697206545,"sku":"NIN9781514417256","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52588675760401,"sku":"NLS9781514417256","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1514417251.jpg?v=1751406117"},{"product_id":"ten-part-book-to-maximizing-your-potential-book-danny-ray-christian-9781514417263","title":"A Ten-Part Book to Maximizing Your Potential","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51257700679953,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51257702940945,"sku":"NIN9781514417263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52593013063953,"sku":"NLS9781514417263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/151441726X.jpg?v=1750796863"},{"product_id":"steps-to-freedom-book-danny-ray-christian-9781669810308","title":"Steps to Freedom","description":"Freedom is not free, it took me nearly forty-years to realize this fact about freedom. It was not until I fully embraced the grace and love of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, that I experienced true freedom. This book gives a concise description of the byways and highways I took in order to arrive at the point in my life where I could honestly say, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, I AM FREE AT LAST  In the course of me going from a man who spent 3\/5th of his life behind prison bars and insane asylum fences. I can tell you that freedom was wasted on me as long as I took it for granted. I was delivered from all the mental, emotional and spiritual shackles that held me bound, the day I gave my life over to God. Now I can declare that I not only talk about the joy of being free, but can also testify that there is no more liberating freedom than that which comes with Christs' blood bought Salvation, and the peace of mind that the Father gives all those whose mind is stayed on Him. It is my belief that none of us can get the full benefit out of freedom in its true form until we understand that, The One we serve determines the rewards we get for our servitude. The reality is, that as long as we live on this earth, we are going to serve either God and Jesus, or Satan and our flesh. Trust me when I tell you, Your life will be a hundred times better off if you commit yourself to being in the will of God. I hope that you will read my testimony as it is summed up in this small book, and know that what Jesus did for me, once I accepted the freedom he purchased for me on the Cross of Calvary, he will do the same thing for you.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51259676950801,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51259678327057,"sku":"NIN9781669810308","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52429532332305,"sku":"NLS9781669810308","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1669810305.jpg?v=1751089838"},{"product_id":"young-gifted-and-black-book-danny-ray-christian-9781524582876","title":"Young, Gifted and Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most crucial information this generation of African American youth must know is the fact that unless they live their life with a sense of urgency and purpose, the world is going to pass them by. Now is the time for those who want something more out of life than mediocrity and the status quo to go out and get it. The people who are going to survive and prosper in this era of rapid change are those who are able to be radical in both their thinking and dreaming. Young people of today cannot content themselves with waiting on others to give them an opportunity and open doors for them but must become proactive in creating opportunities for themselves. Know this one thing for sure: opportunity doesn't breed purpose. Purpose creates opportunities by virtue of it, driving you out of your comfort zone. I wish for my son and every other African American youth to know that the more of their comfort they are willing to give up, the more of their dream and success they can achieve.

I caution every young person to not listen to those who tell you that you can't afford to spend your last dollar on your dream.

This book is my attempt to help people, especially the young, to discover the why of their existence. Arming people with the answer to this question is the most effective way I know to help stop the senseless violence that takes place in our society all too often. At the same time, I want to address the argument that life is so hard for our young black men that is why they sell drugs and commit other crimes as it is the only means they have to feed themselves and their families. As bad as things are for many of our inner-city youth, I don't believe they need less challenges but more, for the simple reason that it is obvious that the ones they currently face are not succeeding in drawing the best and champions out of them. And this is ultimately what every challenge should do no matter how tough it is or poor you are. Kids are not selling drugs on the corner because life is hard for them; they are doing so because that is the easiest thing for them to do versus going out and working a steady job eight hours a day. So don't tell me how unfortunate kids are today to have so many challenges. When I was growing up, I was told that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. What has taken the place of this saying in this generation is the belief that desperate times call for desperate measures. Desperate measures are not always the wisest choice of actions. What the youth today is doing to survive is desperate, but it is not truly necessary; in most cases, it is just convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanny has been certified by Toastmasters International as a competent public speaker (1991 East Moline).

These hard times are ultimately going to make us stronger and give us a hell of a story to tell our grandchildren and write in the history books for future generations to read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474300367121,"sku":"NLS9781543447583","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53336646877457,"sku":"NIN9781543447583","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781543447583.jpg?v=1759841064"},{"product_id":"treating-our-common-wound-book-danny-ray-christian-9781664185838","title":"Treating Our Common Wound","description":"Wounded humans and feelings of victimization are more common than the common cold. The abuse and betrayal of our trust takes many forms, it happens in the form of sexual and emotional abuse, molestation, infidelity, neglect, abandonment, four-hundred years of systemic racism, and other crimes, just to name a few examples of the ravishing of our most sacred possession -- our trust. There probably is not a person on this earth who has not been wounded in some form. If you have not been wounded, I am sure you know someone who has. Therefore, this book can be helpful to everyone who wants to get past being wounded, and begin the process of healing. If this sounds like something you want to undertake, I encourage you to take out some time for yourself to do for you, what only you can, namely, Heal thy self. There are as many families, communities, nations, and races as there are individuals who need healing from the abuse and betrayal of their trust. Thus, this book can be used as a tool for treating individual and collective wounds, as well as erasing generational curses.
