James Benjamin, author of Master Of Disguises
(Author House)

James Benjamin is a living miracle. He was on a path towards destruction, and through his faith in God, was saved. In his first, self-published book titled “Master of Disguises,” James guides readers through his compelling story of struggling in the street life, and finding sanctuary through The Lord. Most importantly, he unveils the enemy and the many disguises the enemy has. He provides inspiration where many feel hopeless, and educates individuals who are lost as he once was. James lives to tell his story to help keep young men and women off the streets and away from the grips of the enemy.

Benjamin’s story is one that attracts the groups that are hard to communicate to: teens and their parents, prisoners, people living the street life and their families, and the African-American street community. Those that are experiencing hardships can easily listen to James as he used to be in their shoes. His prospective is inviting, as he leaves no secrets and lays out his life for the readers. James guides readers through his experience of being incarcerated and the challenges that he has faced.

A series of murders takes place in “The Block”, and nothing is being done about it because the women that are being killed are addicted to the product that Nate sells. Bruthas deals with family, loyalty, trust, honesty as well as police corruption and murder. Much like the winding streets of Philadelphia, Bruthas takes you on a roller coaster ride exploring the depths of addiction to the heights of family love and will keep you guessing until its climatic finale.
