After years of drug abuse and dealing, Kevin Clark's life was spiraling downward. Food and money were hard to come by, and he was in and out of jail. He burned every bridge he had. Eventually, he ended up homeless, and he wanted out. All the while, he had a vision of a book of titles. Dreaming up book titles kept him alive at times. He began writing titles down on anything he could find. High and alone in a hotel room, he would write them on hotel stationary. Hungry and cold, living in a car, he would write them on napkins. Finding himself in prison again, he cried out to his father, God, to please help him. God answered his prayers. At his sentencing hearing, the judge gave him an option of a court-mandated rehab program. During his recovery, his vision for The Book of Titles became clear. Just as the titles were God's gift to him, he would like to share this gift with you.
