Girls, Lies and a Player - 9781589824652

"What is in the heart and mind of a player? Some wonder if a player even has a heart or pays any mind. Granville Emerson's absorbing book shows us that not only does he have a heart and mind, but a soul, a conscience, and a story to tell." Joy Jones - Between Black Women: Listening With the Third Ear "Granville Corky Emerson has finally broken the taboo that men refused to discuss even amongst themselves- His examination of male promiscuity and the myth of the Mack Daddy syndrome is way overdue in efforts to change the true definition of real manhood." ColorsNW Magazine - Robert Jeffrey Jr., CEO How many women can you get? This question is often asked as men boast about their prowess. Nods and winks of approval are often passed among men as they see a Casanova at work. The hip-hop genre promotes this mentality through movies and music, but sadly the people who play the game pay the ultimate price. Rarely are these prices shown. Whether through diseases, unwanted pregnancies, or lost soul mates, the player is the one who ultimately loses. Granville Emerson is one such victim. Fortunately for him, he hears God's call. Now it's Granville's turn to play Paul and relate his experiences. His goal is to try to help this generation of parents battle the seductive call of the hip-hop media. Hopefully this book can provide material for a meaningful discussion between parents and their teens that can help protect the next generation against the follies of a player's life.
