Christian Marriage and Family Life
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99This book ‘Christian Marriage and Family Life‘ was written to address the foundational values of life that was instituted by God but now sliding into the mud on the premise of civilization, culture and traditions. Marriage is God invention, it was in existence in the Garden of Eden long before the culture, tradition, religion and civilization we are familiar with today. Marriage is a seedbed where God planted seeds of blessing, fruitfulness, increase and expansion. Marriage is a seed of life, when planted in good soil, it grows to become a tree that produces good fruits to feed nations, but if planted on a bad soil, it will produce bad seeds to cause infections and contaminate lives.

Thoughts of Family
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99As a young kid, I think I was part of the last generation to experience a viewing for a family member in the person’s home.
Death of a loved one is painful enough, but when you see them in the environment which held memories of laughter and games and apple pie; The comprehension of those times are now tainted with sorrow that haunted the minds of young kids that were not mature enough to experience such a sad event.
The events depicted in this story are reminiscent of time more than 60 years ago when some young children were required to pay their last respects to departed family members and friends. The sadness, the fear, the lack of comprehension inundated the very soul of a child, yet it was believed the very spirit of the departed would not be at peace until all family members acknowledge there love.
This is a story of the weakness of one child in a very desperate and unrelenting situation.

The Early Years: A Memoir
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99The author of this book, The Early Years, Rachel G.

As he struggled, Carrington was there, and they pulled together to clear the many hurdles before them.
In this memoir, she tells the story of their journey and how their love and dedication for each other kept moving them forward.

Tales Times Ten
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99TALES TIMES TEN begins with the struggles of an up and coming young professional magician. We find him playing ‘finders – keepers’ inside and outside his Disappearing Cabinets, as MISTER MAGIC here in Detroit. Next, in a TWINKLING OF AN EYE, we are a witness with the ravens and a lone cardinal to one of those old time negotiations for a better life. After the ink is dry on the contract, we then take a visit to a Library of the Future as a student requests THE DOCTOR CLARK FILES. She is working up a thesis on the taboo deviant sexual behavior of certain members of Academia in the Twentieth Century. Before the authorities arrive, we find ourselves invited inside the mind of a lady architect killing time doing a puzzle in HOLY CROSSWORD DOROTHY. Just before she steps forward onto the stage, we head back to the vacant offices of Infinitex Enterprises. Here, even farther into the future, we discover the many faces of TACTILE UNDERSTANDING.
Better than halfway through, we find ourselves taking notes and dodging bullets. That is, before we spot the torn flyer requesting our presence at the grand opening of the TECHTOWN BOOK CLUB. We barely close the book on this event, when we grow increasingly alert to a rising din out there in the streets. We are startled to realize it can only be from the nearby LAND OF A THOUSAND CRIES. Now back to the future we go, leaving the screams of the past to die in the vacuum while we conduct a further learned study about the state of SEX EDUCATION. After being thoroughly briefed, regarding our study materials and classroom requirements, we then find ourselves in the Math Clinic hiding Internet Porn from the tutors as we are SOLVING FOR ‘X’.
Finally, with all this said and done, it is time to return our ticket stub to the Parking Attendant, after affixing our SPIRITUAL SIGNATURE to these TALES TIMES TEN…

Destiny
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Many children were born into poverty, and thus had no apparent reason to try to succeed. That was the case with Mahlon “Dick” Palmer. Dick was the youngest of four boys and was certainly not a welcome addition to the Palmer family. He was born in the midst of the greatest depression the country has ever experienced, thus another mouth to feed. There was one positive benefit though; this child did provide a cheap source of labor. As you will discover, Dick was expected to work 12 to 14 hours every day until he left home to join the Air Force when he was seventeen years old.
Dick’s very best childhood friend was his dog King, who is on the cover of this book. Without King, Dick’s childhood would have been very very difficult, for they were always together.
Life was about to change dramatically when Dick joined the Air Force when he was 17 years old. The title of the book, “Destiny,” is very appropriate since it was at that time when destiny played a major role in Dick’s life.

Preacher’s Kid
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Being a member of a preacher’s family brings on a myriad of expectations. The preacher’s wife must always project an image of being in tune with godliness. That is a learned condition where she walks around with an angelic smile and speaks softly to the congregants and is always available with a sympathetic ear and assurances that she will bring up their concerns to the pastor.
The preacher’s progeny is expected by everyone to be an example that all people can point to as a kid that the congregants can hold up to their normal children to aspire to. This is not only the expectation of the congregants but also of the preacher. Their mother, who did not get the calling, is responsible to see that they live up to their expectations as the preacher is too busy counseling the congregants and their children.
It is expected of a preacher’s kid, that they attend and lead in children and youth groups and that they by example extend the Christian teachings of their father. Also, is expected that a preacher’s kid is not worldly. He or she does not really know what life is all about for those who must struggle in the real world to survive. He or she have never been subjected to the words that get a mule team moving on a cold morning or the vagrancies of a Jersey cow who will only quit kicking at the milk bucket when she is told loudly that she is about to receive a swift kick in the ass with proper invectives. They don’t really know what life is all about and therefore are really not viable functioning people like normal kids are.
Of course, there is the other expectation of the maverick preacher’s kid. He is the kid that gets in trouble just like any normal kid and because he or she does not participate in the ministries to the church is considered a bad seed and unfortunately hinder the ministry of the preacher to his congregants.
The following is the story of a real preacher’s kid and his family from the recollections of a preacher’s kid.

The Great Abortion: A Holy Book for Isolated Souls
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99These assorted poems are philosophical works as much as they are art. The myriad of subjects contained in this collection cover freedom, depression, lust, solitude, paradise, risk, labor, spirituality, and transformation to name a few. As diverse as these topics are, they all coalesce into an insightful and provocative spirit of exploration and moral exhortation. I have titled this work of mine as The Great Abortion hoping that it will become exactly that to the majority of people who have turned away from poetry. I aim to stop a mindless tradition of emotional stimulation, which neither betters the writer or reader. There are countless poems that have become nothing but an endless stream of adjectives that create great mental pictures, but drown out the few words dedicated to the actual content. Each of my poems combine to create a great halting power, and an eventual abortion. These poems operate by lifting the veil of curiosity on philosophical verities without the rigors and stagnation of logic. These poems strike through carefree levity, sharp barbs, and creative allegories. Weather the reader finds themselves in agreement with these works or not, they will consider meaningful life subjects with a fresh new energy supplied by these poems. I promise the reader a new spirit of contemplation upon completing this book.
