Soul Full of Heart Claude Anthony Ball

Claude Ball grew up on the infamous Detroit, Michigan street known as 8 Mile Road, but his childhood marred by years of suffering, trauma and adversities. Poor, sexually molested by a trusted relative, removed from his mother and grandmother's care and placed in the foster care system, life for young Claude was bleak. As a teenager, Claude turned to self-destructive behaviors. He indulged heavily in drugs and alcohol which led to depression, sexual promiscuity and a series of other poor choices. Darkness and hopelessness hovered over his future like a destructive storm cloud. He lost nearly everything he owned, including himself. Out of the smoldering ashes of destitution, Claude found the courage to rise up and turn his life around. He joined the U. S. Navy and began his search for fulfillment, which included a complementing life partner. It was during this time that, by the grace of God, a spark was ignited within Claude's soul that enkindled a blossoming relationship with The King of the Universe - Christ Jesus! That flame continues to burn brightly today, helping to guide others from their dark experiences and into the light of recovery. SOUL Full of HEART is Claude Ball's story, taking readers on a dynamic and suspenseful journey that shares the powerful message of mercy and forgiveness leading to hope, peace, love and joy. It is an inspirational story. One that demonstrates how light carries us through the darkest times and how love conquers all.
