An inspirational story about overcoming adversity.

Glory's Son

An inspirational book about the life he actually lived

This is not a story Adrian King Darius Riley researched. It is the one he lived: three prison terms, a night he was shot and left for dead, and a time he had to kill. He calls the miracles in it things that can only be explained as God's grace, and he tells them plainly, without pretending he has anything figured out. What he found instead is peace, a purpose, and a cup running over.

This book is about true life experiences about me, Adrian King Darius Riley, Glory’s son. This is a book with many situations of miracles that can only be explained as God’s grace.

About him

He has not made any of this up

Adrian D. Riley writes as Adrian King Darius Riley. His first book, Glory’s Son, is an inspirational work built out of his own life rather than researched from someone else’s — three prison terms, a night he was shot and left for dead, and a time he had to kill, all of it told plainly and credited to a grace he says he did not earn.

Ninjas on Wallstreet is his fiction debut, nearly complete, and Mississippi’s County — a true story out of the Mississippi County Jail — is being written now. Alongside the books he is a songwriter, and his music is released and streaming.
