When the Bullets Stop: A Call for Peace is a raw, emotional, and unflinching journey into America’s gun violence epidemic—told through the eyes of a survivor who has lived through it.

He turns those scars into strength in this powerful call to action that blends truth-telling, community insight, healing, and hope. Through fifteen hard-hitting chapters, readers are guided through the human cost of a bullet, the silence that enables violence, and the real solutions that can lead to lasting change.

This extended edition includes survivor stories, faith-based reflections, healing strategies, and calls for unity that challenge readers to speak up, act boldly, and believe that peace is possible.

Whether you're a victim, a leader, a teacher, a parent, or someone who just wants to help—this book is for you.

Because the story isn’t over… when the bullets stop.
