This is a brief and sketchy account of Eldridge Cleaver's life up until 1977, by which time he had become a born-again Christian. It's written in hacky, journalistic prose and, given that it's about somebody's spiritual journey, it's curiously unreflective: the Christianity purveyed is trite and banal and lacking in depth. It's also mundanely teleological, portraying Cleaver's life as ineluctably leading towards his becoming a Christian. The author, George Otis, caricatures the Panthers, presenting them in an almost entirely negative light, and is always eager to take the police point of view on things. Otis thinks it unlikely that there was any concerted covert state programme to destabilise the Panthers, a judgement history has not been kind to. The book deserves a star, though, for charting the journey of an American (albeit black) radical who, through enforced exile, came to realise that the communist and socialist regimes he idolised from a distance were more repressive to live under than the United States he had thought so fascist and totalitarian. Being a right-wing Christian, Otis doesn't mention homophobia as one of the distasteful attitudes Cleaver oozed in his Soul On Ice manifestation. I daresay that it's one attitude that will have continued on without transformation into his new born-again life.

George Otis Jr. knows more about the darkness of witchcraft, about demonic strongholds where Satan focuses his prime forces, than any man I know. But he has experienced and speaks about the love of God for people enslaved by darkness. "He speaks with passionate intensity. The passion of a prophet and the intensity of an evangelist." John White (author)

We live in an age of spiritual generics, counterfeits, and false prescriptions. We need the ability to discern God's voice, regardless of whether it is delivered via a ministry newsletter, a shiny new book, a Christian music album, or a pulpit preacher. How can we get the discernment we need to distinguish whether a message, ministry, or strategy is truly from God? 
This thoughtful book by the executive producer of the award-winning video Transformations shows believers how they can spot seven "divine trademarks" to identify any work of God. While the list is not exhaustive, believers are assured that these seven trademarks will always be present in any true product of heaven. As we learn to seek out God's trademarks, we will better be able to distinguish the incandescence of certain messages, ministries, and strategies from the brightness of divine light.
