Publisher's Synopsis
NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (NBA) STAR AND SLAM DUNK SENSATION. Shelton Jones, an adolescent New Yorker, was heavily influenced and imprinted by the Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) long before his feet hit the court on a professional level. Against all odds, Shelton becomes a victim of his environment but possesses the wherewithal and God given belief to rise above the rim of it all.
As an adult, Shelton covers his internal wounds acquired by the blows of his childhood trauma with spoils that come with stardom. Trapped inside of the full court press of life and dealing with an unquenchable thirst that the taste of success couldn't satisfy; Shelton has a divine encounter that changes the trajectory of his life till this very day. COGIC Trailblazer "Basketball and Beyond" is a heartfelt stay-up-all-night and turn the pages, a gutsy story of loss, abuse and survival, self-invention, and divine interventions banked off the backboards of deeply rooted faith.
