{"product_id":"jay-shakur-a-matter-of-choice-9780578850351","title":"A Matter of Choice","description":"At the end of the day, life is a series of moments defined by two types of choices we make: how we choose to prepare for what might happen and how we choose to respond to what has happened. When your ability to make a choice is hindered you have just become a slave. How many modern slaves do we have walking around? In this volume I submit to you, the reader, that as we journey through our lives and as we face a world seemingly filled with hate and animosity we will have to make decisions in three key areas; our thinking, our living, and our relationships. The latter (relationships, be it socially, politically, etc.) being a place where forgiveness is the glue that will hold it all together. What you decide and how you decide it will determine the course of your life. This is a principle that applies regardless of one's station in life. A Matter of Choice is a passionate and personal analysis of and commentary about a culture in crisis-that of Black inner-city and southern Americans. Despite a declining culture can we (Black America) truly have the \"American Dream\"? The mainstream narrative excludes Blacks from this dream. However, as is everything, our participation in such is only a choice away. In a society obsessed with the superficial, that glorifies victimhood and idolizes oppression this short memoir serves as a reminder of the power of individuality and personal responsibility. Through vignettes of and commentary on some of my life's experiences as a Black man in the United States of America, I call you to think freely, live fully, and forgive unapologetically.","brand":"Briansprattbooks","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":54005462565206,"sku":"9780578850351-V","price":1.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780578850351_1.jpg?v=1779876138","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/jay-shakur-a-matter-of-choice-9780578850351","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
