i finished the book "wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked" from malice of the clipse or GENE is his real name if u want to read it for urself u may not want to read any further ok the book was good.. its quite a bit different than what i expected though lol surprisingly, i'd say about 60% of the book is about aids.. throughout the book either he has hiv and God is holding it back.. or he doesn't have hiv and God is showing him that he might get it if he doesn't straighten his life out.. here's what i think was happening.. he was experiencing a lot of omens.. omen - event regarded as a prophetic sign of coming good or evil God was giving him omens like he'd start losing weight and have the symptoms of someone with aids, then he'd get in a car with some friends and someone would say "i had a dream you got aids lol" and he wouldn't say anything in reply but he'd be really afraid because he was always getting signs that pointed to having aids.. at the time he was only being with his wife but he figured it could've been from a tattoo or some other incident so this went on for a long time til he got close to God and through this, he got confirmation that God would take care of him basically as long as he was letting Jesus be the head of his life.. so the aids scare ended but about 10 yrs later after great success he began to get back into some negative things, like he began to cheat on his wife and the aids symptoms came back but not only this, he supposedly gave a girl aids and she was dying from it and he was still perfectly fine.. well she ended up telling her brother and her brother was a thug so he decided to put a hit out on gene then out of nowhere that girl's brother sent gene an email "what's ur address? i want to send you a demo tape" so gene was like oh crap my lifestyle is about to get me killed and not only that but i'm gnna give my wife aids and my kids will hate me and even if i live i won't be able to rap with people knowing i have hiv so he starts to turn back to God, he confesses to his wife that he's been cheating on her, she forgives him.. the woman he supposedly gave aids to.. they don't say whether she is ok or not but she at least told her brother to chill.. and he finds out he doesn't have hiv despite having the symptoms basically it was about God's grace.. i look at it like God was saying to him.. "based on your actions you deserve this disease and you don't deserve the family you have, and you don't deserve the wife you have, or the finances i've blessed you with.. but due to my great mercy i will give you another chance to keep it all" so the book is about him heeding the call to change his ways and live right.. and what its like when there is spiritual warfare over you.. when u are trying to ignore God but He wants to bring you back here are some things from the book that i liked: on one part he talked about how cheating on his wife and having sex with multiple women made him see the worst in everyone to a point where he began to suspect his own wife of cheating and he explained it like "if you live in the light, you see light and if you live in darkness, you see darkness." i thought that was interesting and pretty true.. also there was this.. which i thought was pretty deep: good read.. i highly recommend it.. i really enjoyed it.. it made me want to work on my own autobiography
so yeah check out the book when u get a chance peaCe
