Stacey Williams: The Inner-City Man on the Cross

‘Sneakers on the Cross’ reminds readers that God is present everywhere.

COLUMBUS, NJ – Stacey Williams recalls a time when he turned his back on God and yet when he came crawling back, he was wholeheartedly accepted and loved by him.

Stacey chose to write so that he can tell readers (or maybe remind some of them), that God is everywhere.

“Sneakers on the Cross” (published by Xlibris) is a candid account of his life – with God in it. Williams does not want to preach. He just wants to share a book of poetry to let people know that no matter where they are from or what they see, God is in it – street or debate, crime or death.

Geared to make readers laugh and appreciate the daily blessings from above, this book is light and easy to read.

Williams recalls a time when his father once told him, “Never get mad about anything you’re not willing to change.” Through this book of poetry, he takes this advice as he pens his thoughts, which became a motivating factor as he navigated himself and his life through treacherous inner-city neighborhoods.

The purpose of his writings is to bring a smile from heaven to the streets where cognitive thought processes are manipulated. Williams acknowledges people’s diversity and their various beliefs, thus he only writes from what he has experienced. He cannot change the world in one day, but he hopes to do his part in telling them that God is just a prayer away when they need him.

“Sneakers on the Cross,” written by Stacey Williams, is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
