Author: Geraldine Thomas was born in Greenwood Mississippi, in 1951. She came to Los Angeles California in 1972 in search of a better life for her and her two children. During her journey she started using drugs out of curiosity, and became addicted to drugs, and alcohol which almost destroyed her life. After all else failed she turned to God and recovery, and through lots of Prayer God Healed her. She now lives in South Los Angeles, and has been clean and sober since November/1996.
This book was written to tell the whole World about how good God is, and that no matter what we have done in our lives God will forgive us if we would just ask Him to. It is never too late to ask God for forgiveness, and ask him to heal our bodies. I am a living wittiness who stands before you today and declares that not only can He, but He will.
Street Life and Prayer describes how being curious about drugs and alcohol can lead to addiction, which can destroy your life. In order to be healed from any addiction, you must first take responsibility for your own actions, and stop the blame game. If you are not using drugs and alcohol don't start. Because if you use these substances long enough, they will began to be a problem that you will not be able to handle on your own. This is the very reason why this disease is called an addiction. People wake up and smell the coffee before it turns into tea. Because, believe me it will.
-Geraldine Thomas
