The story of The Inverted Crow will inspire anyone who lacks self-confidence, feels unwanted, insufficient or in any way inadequate. Conversely, The Inverted Crow is important to self-assured individuals who wish to proactively become involved in their spiritual evolution. The story of the Crow is fiction; however, the advice that is given by ever-present seers throughout the journey is real and applicable. Screenplay writer Joseph Gunnels states, "It dips back into self-awakening again and again and again until the Crow is fully reborn. it is so deep and rich and thought-provoking and intelligent and edgy and requiring of consciousness..." Dr. Cecil Gray of Morgan State University describes the substance of The Inverted Crow as "large." The book is relative to philosophy and spirituality, African-American culture, social science and political science. Yet, The Inverted Crow is an allegorical piece of literature detailed in terms that can equally be described as poetic, lyrical and raw. On one side, individuals claim The Inverted Crow primarily for literary value - an engaging, enjoyable and delicious read. Others claim that the literature is secondary to the book's philosophical and spiritual content. Dr. Dolly Jenkins Mullen, political scientist at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, states, "This fiction work is a must-read for anyone sold on the concept of personal growth as the beginning of community development." The Inverted Crow was written to help individuals find peace within and live in peace; express God's holy love and receive it in joy; discover their reason for being; employ it to uplift the quality of life on earth; and empower all whom they meet to also experience the abundance of life.
