Just read "Certified" in two nights. It was extraordinary, addictive, just like the 1st couple of decades of David Harris's life described here without suppression. How extraordinary David survived this period of his life, but even more extraordinary is the fact he left that life behind a couple of decades ago.
This book is about that we all desire, real love, acceptance, freedom and power and how easily we can find ourselves in dead end ally without seeing it coming. David's story is a detailed and wild ride from a boy who sadly saw his family structure fall apart and entered a life of drugs and crime. He sought some thrills with friends with a Ouja boards, which opened a spiritual doorway to a relationship with a spirit guide that looked to be an allie. Initially guiding them in their crimes with supernatural insights and warnings. His life moves deeper into drugs, occult, prison, in/out and being on the run. He was so troubled by nightmares and voices, he was certified insane in prison at the age of 24! He sought peace through meditation and Budah but falls into the rut of drug dealing and burglaries outside prison walls.
Spiritual intervention enters his life again, this time uninvited. Truth is better or more extraordinary than fiction; is the best way to describe this part of the story. David seeks to contact a hitman he met in prison to dispose of a problem dealer in his territory. The (ex) hitman turns up with a bible and a whole new life! David's desperately wanting life, but not like that, but also senses that Jesus is its source. He describes that journey with no-nonsense reality and the extraordinary spiritual cleansing that was part of his healing process, which remains a choice each day since. He describes the very practical steps to choose life at the back of the book. Highly recommended to bring awareness of real spiritual powers. Choose life!
