Book excerpt: Where do I fit? Where do I belong? Those were Alexis Johnson's questions as a young African American in the 1960s and 1970s. His desperate search took him into the world of drugs, prison life, then to the Nation of Islam where he became a minister. Still searching, Alexis ultimately found the answer at the nail-scarred feet of Jesus Christ. I Was a Minister in the Nation of Islam paints a harrowing picture of how enraptured many Christian ministers were with the message of Minister Louis Farrakhan and how the churches were left in confusion, along with the hearts of many African American boys and girls, men and women. Alexis Johnson now knows where he belongs and where he stands. This book is a must read for: Every African American. Anyone ministering to African Americans. Anyone desiring a better understanding of Orthodox Islam, Nation of Islam, and Five Percenters. Anyone involved in prison ministries. Anyone seeking to know the fundamental differences between the belief system of the Nation of Islam and the Christian faith. "This book is needed in America's urban centers, I wish it were required reading for every pastor and deacon. With an incisive pen and quick wit, the author has single- handily dissuaded hearts from the Nation of Islam into the glorious Light of Jesus Christ." -Dr. Ergun Mehmet Caner, President-Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Director-Center for Global Apologetics, Lynchburg, VA."
