THE BLACK PAGES: THE MEMOIR SETTING ME FREE





Independent writer and filmmaker Antonio Ricardo Cannady wrote screenplays that got him invited through the exclusive doors of CBS Television, appearances on TMZ, and mentoring by an Emmy award-winning TV producer, which led him to a six-figure writing offer from Whitfield Entertainment Group (WEG), an entertainment company affiliated with Grammy-winning recording artist Pharrell Williams and Grammy-nominated artist Pusha-T.
What isn't known is that Antonio is the byproduct of an emotionally and physically violent childhood home that endured years of domestic trauma, only to escape and emotionally bleed onto the streets of Orlando, Florida, and, unfortunately, onto others as well. For years, he battled a powder cocaine addiction, undiagnosed mental disorders, relationship issues, and the arduous struggle to keep the broken boy within himself the darkest of secrets.

While maneuvering from Orlando to the streets of Los Angeles in search of something outside of himself, Antonio was armed with every damaging tool imaginable that could ignite his pending self-destruction. Fortunately, a truth was revealed along his journey, resulting in a rerouting of his path. So, how did he sidestep and overcome such a clear, definite, and unfortunate fate?
Within the pages of this book, Antonio discloses and reveals his objectional journey, truth, complete transparency, and vulnerability, along with the lessons and insights he learned through some of his darkest days that ultimately led to the light along his path leading him into his calling of helping others.

The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life. One of those is the discerning power of God. This book, The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God's Discer...

But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth.
