Sam Gilbert Re-releases His First Book "The Minister Who Turned Gangster!"

New York, NY, January 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Sam Gilbert, a former minister, gangster, and a deeply spiritual soul, has re-released the second edition of his first book “The Minister Who Turned Gangster!”: a gripping and potent journey through the trials and tribulations of a soul torn in two radically different moral directions.

“In 1946 at five years-old I was the star of the Gilbert Gospel Preachers and Singers touring the country with the biggest names in gospel music. When I was 12 years old my fame was gone and my family moved to Brooklyn, New York. By 1960 I was selling drugs and committing armed robbery. This is my story.”

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Sam Gilbert’s poignant tale is the story of a life of greed and grace, vice and virtue, revelry and redemption.

This collection of essays follows Sam as he makes revelations about the current and past conditions of Afircan-Americans. An insidious disease has worked its way deep into the mindset of many citizens of the country. All that Sam wants to see before he passes on is a cure so that we can say that all men truly are created equal. This book will surely inspire readers of any age and color to analyze his or her relationship with and understanding of humanity and God.

Readers who wish to experience this turbulent journey can purchase “The Minister Who Turned Gangster!” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
