I'M Living in the World

I'm Living in the World: From Poverty to Policing to Preaching recounts the spiritual journey of a man who began life in Harlem amid its poverty and brokenness. Rising from that humble beginning, Darron F. Allen Sr. joined the New York City Police Department and advanced to the rank of lieutenant, served sixteen years, and then retired in the wake of an injury suffered in the line of duty. Seeking direction for the next chapter of his life, he served in his local church and received a calling to become a pastor. He coupled education with service, earning a bachelor's degree and a doctoral degree as aids in his ministry. Consecrated and ordained as an apostle, he founded a church in Newark, New Jersey. As he tells the story of his life, Apostle Allen entwines his own history with spiritual insights that offer guidance for others who desire to understand the Christian faith and to follow its callings in their own lives. This is a highly anticipated story of a man born into poverty in the projects, living the sad and broken life of an inner-city kid. He grew up and began a journey to his destiny, becoming an NYPD supervisor and then a beloved pastor.
