Choices: Lessons Learned from a Repeat Offender

“Ron James is a man who knows what he is talking about. Choices will humble you, inspire you, and make a positive difference in your life!” Tracey C. Jones, best-selling author and President of Tremendous Life Books

Ronald James knows about choices, both good and bad. Unfortunately, he also knows all too well about the personal cost and tragic results that bad choices bring. After spending more than twenty-five years of his life incarcerated in a nine-by-nine cell with nothing but an uncomfortable bed, a steel toilet and sink, and a roommate, James learned one important lesson: choices determine destiny. With a determination to help others make better choices, James chronicles his emotional, heartfelt, amusing, and thought-provoking journey through his personal battles, decisions, and the consequences that led him to pay the ultimate price with his life and time. As he details his experiences from an early age, James provides insight into how he developed a survival mode of thinking that evolved into a powerful tool of manipulation. He began to believe in his own lies and became deceitful in order to remove himself from tight situations. While reflecting on his own path through life and the chain of events that eventually led to his downward spiral, James encourages and empowers others to learn from his mistakes, consider their choices, and trust in God to experience a life greater than ever imagined.

Choices is a compelling, inspirational autobiography that shares life-changing wisdom for anyone who wants to begin making better choices today.

“For me, it is always a tremendous added blessing to know the author personally. In this case and with Ron James, he is the real deal! His story is thought-provoking, challenges my heart and his story is a real page turner; as I am always wondering ‘what’s next’ and ‘what if’. I can hardly wait to buy my first 10 copies and give them as gifts to my best friends and see how this book can change their lives and the CHOICES they make.”

“Ron James has written a book that has a message for every person -- whether they are in a physical prison or a
self-made prison. Ron’s book, Choices, helps the reader learn from the life experience of one who took the wrong turn and then discovered the right path. I have been deeply touched by Ron’s humility and deep desire to break free from old habits and turn his life around. His commitment to attesting to the power of Jesus Christ to transform his life is a sermon in itself. I hope that Ron’s book, Choices, is shared in every prison in America and that every prisoner of the soul finds in it the fresh air of liberation.”
