THE ALARM CLOCK
THE ALARM CLOCK
In The Alarm Clock, Darrell Q. Slade breaks down why it’s essential to maneuver in silence as you level up while remaining true to yourself.
“Better to have more progress with less movement opposed to more movement with less progress.” An African American Proverb
This novel is broken down into twelve distinct chapters, symbolic of twelve hours on the clock. Slade was strategic when putting this book together; in this novel you’ll learn how he managed to elevate through his obstacles while meeting with adversity, simultaneously. The objective of this book is to spark hope in the kids that come from a similar upbringing as the author. We determine our own destiny, not anyone else!
The systems we rely on in America aren’t set up for us to succeed, especially when the oppressor defines our success. Therefore we must position ourselves to create our own wealth and divert those assets, back into our communities. This will implement an healthy and stable environment in our low income communities. As Emory Jones say “BET ON YOURSELF.” Everyone has an Alarm Clock that will wake the World.” #STAYWOKE

This was an amazing book and was very inspirational both for myself and also my teenage sons. I appreciate the honest reflections and insight of the author, who describes how he has transformed his life despite the grief that tried to hold him down. His poignant journey is surely an inspiration to teens and adults alike. Check it out!

I initially picked up this book from my local library because the title jumped out at me and directly addressed the very thing that I had been ignoring in my life. When I began flipping through the pages, the scriptures interspersed within reinforced for me on a spiritual level that I was meant to read the book. It contains 12 very personal chapters about the author's journey through life after losing the closest people to him. It begins with loss and being lost, and ends with purpose, self-discovery, and finding God in the most unexpected people, places, and ways. It is written to an audience of lost ones, young ones, and those who are still sleeping and it is a calling for the author not only to awaken himself, but also to be a force to awaken the masses. His voice isn't what one would find for a more mainstream audience, but it speaks of universal truths. I would recommend this book to any youth or adult who has hit the snooze button in their personal life more times than they can count, and is finally ready to make changes to align themselves with God's calling and purpose for their lives.
