In this book, The Eruption of Possible, Dr. Abdur-Rahman transitions from the focus on an individual's transformation to the community of ex-offenders who have to remain hidden because once their past is discovered they are judged by what they did and not who they have become. He suggests that not only is there a correlation between being a former practitioner of crime and the knowledge of how to end the cycle of criminal thought, but successfully transitioned ex-felons also have to become a major part of the equation when it comes to developing strategies to reduce crime and gun violence.

How do you eliminate a half trillion annual expense in the US alone? How do you prevent capital offenses in the first place? God has the solution: we just don't like key parts of it. We shoot ourselves in the foot in order to think of ourselves as dignified and compassionate.

Death is the most severe court judgment in the full range of Biblical justice tools, and so it deserves primary investigation.

A hybrid memoir and a personal detective story, Trust is an exploration of what it means to trust, why we trust and what happens when trust is betrayed.
