(Jung) “Gods Gangsters” Is a short story of 13,500 words that takes place over a three day period, in the life of a sixteen year old African American drug dealer and gang member, Walter Butz. Walter was raised by very religious parents, who believe in a literal translation of the Bible. This narrow religious view completely turns him off to any belief in God. After the death of his father, a clergyman, he falls in with his brother-in-law, a gang leader and drug dealer in Brooklyn. It is after being shot by rival gang members; the young Walter is wounded, and begins a Journey or realization that there is a deeper side to being human, a spiritual side. With the help of a few guldes along the way, he is able to alter his perception of reality, and in this truer light, change his life.  “Imagination is more important than knowledge”, is a quote from Albert Einstein. Considered a cerebrell, logical, calculating, conscous intellect, there was also another side to his thinking. The feeling, instinctive, intuitive subconscious, the source of a higher consciousness. This is  a story of rediscovery of a  greater self; we are all part of.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142114066672,"sku":"9781483622354","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483622354_p0.jpg?v=1763631010","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483622354","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
