Synopsis

HALFTIME HUSTLER, is an inspirational true story about Ralph's life after being faced with 350 years to life in prison and how it changed his life forever. It's about how he has overcome the adversity of his test of trials and suffering and was able to turn his life around for the better.  With a God given talent for Basketball, it is his great hope that by sharing his personal journey, it will reach large groups of people in need and help provide them with inspiration and assurance that no matter how bad things may seem at the time, God will always open a door or a window.  

God has opened a grave of failure to prove to him that he can have a decent life after incarceration. Part of the decent life includes knowing who you are and where you are going. We are all scattered survivors out here wanting and hoping for a Second Chance! Lazarus, the resurrected second-timer, set a pattern for every scarred survivor who came after him. Ralph, like him, is an ambassador of hope for every person who ever needed or dreamed of a second chance! His flame of life was reignited by the breath of the Savior and he experienced rebirth after death. We are "Proof Positive" that God can produce a "Comeback" for every mishap. What would you do if you were put through the "Test"?  How would you live your life once you experienced something so devastating and have been revived to tell about it? 
WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD. Hebrews 11:5-6

About this title

About the Author

Ralph Sanders grew up in Southern California where he learned to love basketball. This passion enabled him to receive partial athletic scholarships to Foothill College and San Jose State. Unfortunately, Ralph ended up taking a fall for the betterment of his future and spiritual growth that landed him in a place where he became a child of God and a loving father.  Since 2010, Ralph has been working at Juvenile's At Risk (JAR), a non-profit organization dedicated to working with troubled youth and empowering them to avoid some of the pitfalls of life that he himself experienced in his youth.
Ralph became an Author in October 2012, when his book Halftime Hustler was first released. Halftime Hustler is an inspirational true story about his life after being faced with 350 years to life in prison and how it changed his life forever. It's about how he has overcome the adversity of test of trials and suffering and how he was able to turn his life around for the better. 
Ralph's second book titled Break Loose, was just release in November 2015. Break Loose is also a true story about how he was faced with many adversities through cyberbullying after his first book Halftime Hustler was released and how he overcame and risen above the negative attacks of hatred, slander and harassment.

Ralph currently resides in Northern California where he attends church regularly. He enjoys motivational speaking where he is able to share his story. While he currently has the privilege of speaking to those currently incarcerated, those in half-way houses and sober-living programs, his goal is to expand his audience to include topics such as bullying and dealing with struggles inherent with life itself.  His belief is that after hearing his story, people can be assured that no matter how bad things may seem at the time, God will either open a door or a window for them as well.
