Lord I Got Over

This is a moving story of one man's journey to discover the meaning and purpose of his life on this planet. We feel the tortures he experiences at the hands of his abusive father, an alcoholic, as a child growing up in New York City. Lucas chronicles his life surrounded by the circumstances of poverty, racial discrimination, and domestic violence and details how "he got over," ultimately transcending, the circumstances of life's pains and struggles. Lucas' story unfolds social, environmental and spiritual conditions that impact the human condition. Most importantly, the story reveals how these conditions become powerful tools for spiritual leadership and for understanding the soul's journey to freedom consciousness. After a journey through many different religions, the author discovers that his most powerful answers to why he exists are found within his own soul. Part of his self-discovery is the creation of this story, for the book teaches its audience about transcending pain and struggle and assists the author in his own healing.
