Price range: $3.99 through $22.99DEATH OF THE NEGRO volume 1
“The ancestors of the Negro in America brought their songs with them into slavery”
[Negro Music in New York – a chronological survey”. Federal Writers Project, 1936-38.]
During the period of the antebellum south, “Sorrow-songs” or “Escapist songs” were placed in a similar category to the unpardonable songs because they were freedom songs that applied the same minor traditional tones from Africa as the songs already hated by the master. Later, at the beginning of the 20th Century, Spirituals and Sorrow songs were confused as coming out of the same whishes by collectors and religious apologists.
Please remember that many to the communities forcibly migrated from Africa were familiar with Hymns because of their immigration from Egypt thousands of years before. What we hear today is, all of the song were performed in what are referred to as “the blues”. As stated by Gellert, this music was brought from Africa with the,. This music was adapted to the current circumstances and has continued until the present.
The intellectual nature of these Escapists compositions was never promoted. Thus, because of how the actual songs were sung, the intent of the lyrics was not understood. Only Gellert understood the use of the word Escapist as a metaphor of “Sorrow Songs” urging the populous to take the Underground Railroad to escape to freedom. Freedom represented the name avoided.
The idea in giving this lecture as a narration/dialogue play short story is to create a setting in which the scholar learners may visualize the conditions people lived. The point is to use a lyric poet to speak about the feeling the oppressed poor felt during the time these songs were composed and delivered. The accompanying lyric post is an African American blues singer. This lyric poet comes from particular reference points because his lyrics are universal to all poor people of the world.

Jesus Is There: Discovering Jesus at Work in the Old Testament
Price range: $3.99 through $17.99Where was Jesus and what was he doing during the many centuries of Old Testament history? If Jesus had personal contact with people only after being born in Bethlehem, where was he for the hundreds of years while the Jewish people lived their lives. suffered and struggled, and were in need of direction and support? If he really cares for people, is it rational to believe that during that time he was not engaged at all in human history?
Using a fresh and little explored empirically-based approach and resources including the Septuagint, three keys are found which in the New Testament reliably distinguish the person and work of Christ from that of God the Father. Guidelines for the use of the keys are established, and these guidelines are then applied to 25 selected passages in the Old Testament where the divine is definitely at work. When this is done, the results clearly show that Jesus Is There, at work in the Old Testament and doing far more with people than most of us ever thought. You are invited to examine these in-depth studies with the prospect that you may arrive at a truly broadened understanding of Jesus Christ.

The Journey to Hangtown Haven
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99How a group of committed volunteers led by a retired aerospace engineer built a homeless shelter in a gold rush community and how the power and financial elite closed it down. Was it because Hangtown Haven was an unexpected success?
How does one build a successful homeless shelter that is legal, practical and economical at no cost to the taxpayer? A group of homeless volunteers led by a retired aerospace engineer along with non-profit corporations and concerned churches jumped into the fray and did just that. Not, however, without making mistakes and ruffling feathers along the way. No one could have predicted how controversial it would be to provide shelter to our neighbors who had no place to live. “We are going to build a modern dog shelter with $7 million, but don’t bother asking the county or the city for one penny to help our homeless citizens.”
So, the real question is, “How do you build a homeless shelter that works and is acceptable to the entire community with donations only?” This book tells the story of one Sierra community’s eff ort to answer this question and how its success proved that it could be done, however its success also turned the city’s power establishment against it.
When it was obvious that the shelter was a success and homeless people were thriving, the city’s power structure got together and closed it down throwing forty homeless men and women out of their shelter in the middle of winter with no place to live.
But the genie is out of the bottle now and the occupants of this small gold mining town know how to do it the next time. They are prepared to try again until they are successful even though all of the business, political and power interests are determined to stop it. Th is story tells how it was done, how it can be done and how to avoid serious mistakes along the way.

Two Sides To Every Story: His And Ours
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth because there was a war in heaven. At the end of that war, long before this new Adamic beginning, Almighty Father God gave Archangel Michael charge of leading the battle in casting Satan, the enemy of God, out of heaven. In the archangel’s victory Satan was cast down to this God-created earth. In God’s full knowledge of the pure evil that Satan possessed, He created man (the first one, Adam) in His own image. Each one of us that proceeded after that creation up to this very day are created as a person or piece of the Almighty God, endowed with the inheritance of who and what He is. God created man to be soldiers in His army. The purpose for our creation is to battle the evils that Satan would use to try to destroy us and this earth in his way of attacking God. In God’s creation of man, we are “keepers of His footstool” because Almighty God is on His throne in heaven. Satan, having had the favor of God before he grew insanely jealous of Him, knew that not to be a good idea. So the very first man God created, Satan attacked and was successful. Satan knew that if he could insert his seed into the very first of God’s creation, he would have a good chance of destroying all human beings that man would create. Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. “In my opinion, there has never been a statement that has been proven more true. With Satan hiding behind the scene, he anxiously awaits man to explore his God-given creativity until man knows no limit, which ends us where we are today. Limitless possibilities! Constructive and destructive. Everything man creates is accompanied by an operating manual. In God’s proof of all His creation, He accompanied us with one also. It’s called the Holy Bible, which is not the story that we are able or want to create simply because we can, but it is His story that we are to follow. Like any other manual of instruction created by man that is unused or not read, you will undoubtedly end up with a lot of extra screws and pieces that do not fit. Give the Lord the mangled pieces of the life you have tried to put together. It’s called surrender! It’s the only way to true health, wealth, and spiritual freedom.

BETTY, IT’S SHOWTIME!!
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Who is Betty?
Betty Marie Stone is an enthusiastic overweight young singer with the desire to one day – see her name in lights. Although she was always complimented as a child because her voice was strong and adult like in church, No one ever said anything to her regarding her looks, smarts, or personality. For some reason, they only focused on her voice. The elder women would say, “Chile you got a gift from God just like your mother,” or they would say, “If you don’t do anything else, you ought to sing.” Raised by a strong, Southern Baptist Grandmother in the middle
of one of the largest Northern Cities was a struggle all in itself. The city lights called to her in a way much different than her counterparts because they had never experienced the darkness of the south. Betty remembered seeing miles and miles of darkness when she was a child. Although they moved to Michigan when she was twelve, she still remembered the dark roads and fields. For some reason, she always felt that the lights made her feel safe and looked after. She thought as long as there were lights, she would never feel the sadness of darkness, nor would she feel alone. Those long dark southern roads seem to escalate the long suffering she endured being alone and forced to care for her mother when she needed care and attention herself.
After years had passed and the city started to quiet down a bit, Betty really started to focus on her future. She was sure that singing would make her happy, but unsure if her desired path was even possible. The pains she endured while trying to pursue her dream as a NON-Gospel singer begins almost immediately. Southern gospel was the ONLY music permitted in Grandma’s house. Grandma seemed to only care about her church and her relationship with her Bible. After the death of her Mother; Betty thought she’d never sing again. Somehow, after those feelings died a bit, the fire and desire to perform still burned brightly in her soul.
Now that she is in her early twenties, she reflects on her feelings as a child, and it still saddens her to admit that she really did feel alone even in the lights. Betty now feels that God’s love is enough to help her through any rough patch. After all the ups and downs she endured, Betty finally found someone worth singing for, herself. NOW nothing can stop her, not even fear or loneliness.
Now it’s time to get the game face on. Betty, It’s Showtime.

God; U.F.O.; Antichrist
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99God; U.F.O.; Antichrist comes from me talking to God in private as if a young man now putting it into a book as an older man. To let those things God showed me be displayed. I wanted to write this in the year 2000. I had a publisher, but God said, “No, not yet ready are they.”
After Covid-19 started, He said, “Now is the time. They are ready now. The world is at its weakest point.”
I closed my eyes, began talking to God the Creator of life, and He poured into things He wanted humans to know like UFOs are not our God and things about heaven and what plan He has for us in the universe. I must be honest I never thought to live this long. My two friends, Kevin, Thomas and Derick Edwards, were ironically shot in the head. I, at fifteen, had my first gun pulled on me. The guy on top had a gun to my head on my temple. I scared him and yelled, “Get off or shoot me.” I should have died that day. Why am I still here? Maybe this book is the reason? Yes, let’s see.

EVIDENCIAS BÍBLICAS Y NO BÍBLICAS DEL LIBRO DE MORMÓN
Price range: $3.99 through $24.99Qué pasa con el Libro de Mormón? No se puede negar que es un libro controvertido. Muchos no lo aceptan como escritura. Creen que José Smith, hijo, lo “escribió”. También creen que la Biblia es la única Escritura jamás escrita, pero en ninguna parte la Biblia hace esa a rmación. Esta creencia no es bíblica. De hecho, ocurre todo lo contrario. La Biblia da testimonio de la existencia de otras escrituras escritas y especí camente una segunda escritura escrita sobre la tribu de José (Ezequiel 37:19). Este José es el mismo José de la túnica de muchos colores, el mismo José vendido como esclavo en Egipto y el mismo José que salvó a Egipto y a todas las tribus de Israel de los siete años de hambre que hubo.
Debido a su falta de conocimiento y educación, si José Smith, Jr., hubiera escrito El Libro de Mormón, habría sido refutado hace años. En cambio, a medida que pasa el tiempo, se demuestra que cada vez más cosas son correctas. José Smith no pudo haberlo escrito por muchas razones, una de las cuales es el hecho de que era un hombre apenas alfabetizado. Sabía muy poco de las Escrituras y nada de hebreo. Sin embargo, el Libro de Mormón está claramente escrito por hombres muy educados y con una sólida formación en las costumbres hebreas y técnicas de escritura, ninguna de las cuales era conocida por ningún estadounidense en el siglo XIX.
En este libro se explorará más información sobre este tema.
Este libro fue iniciado por dirección del Espíritu Santo y escrito para todo el cuerpo de Cristo. Algunos podrían preguntarse por qué deberían leerlo. Algunos lo leerán para intentar refutarlo; otros lo leerán para aprender y otros lo utilizarán para promover sus propias agendas. Sin embargo, debes leerlo y orar sobre él, pidiéndole a Dios a través de Su Espíritu Santo que te dé testimonio de su validez.
Necesitamos la dirección del Espíritu Santo porque siempre somos vulnerables al error. Incluso los profetas pueden ser engañados (2 Crónicas, capítulo 18). Satanás hará todo lo que pueda para impedir que logremos unidad en nuestra lucha contra él. Durante años ha utilizado el plan de “divide y vencerás”, y nosotros hemos sido víctimas de él. Es hora de que dejemos de pelear por nuestras pequeñas diferencias y comencemos a trabajar juntos por la salvación de toda la humanidad. La cosecha es abundante; ¡Es hora de incorporarlo y podemos hacerlo! Con la ayuda de Dios a través de Su Hijo Jesucristo y Su Espíritu Santo, podemos lograr lo que de otro modo sería imposible por nuestra cuenta.

Back to Somalia

Ethan Breaux, call sign Cajun, has been flying charters out of Bristol, England for two years. His life as a civilian pilot has been going very well after many years of flying Special Ops missions in Army helicopters. Cajun is sought out by the CIA to coordinate then execute a super clandestine military style operation into Mogadishu, Somalia to retrieve a North Korean nuclear weapon hijacked by Pirates at the behest of Hezbollah Islamic terrorist.
He reluctantly agrees to take on the dangerous mission only after learning that Savannah, the love of his life, is being held on the outskirts of Ethiopia. She is a nurse and has been taken along with an Ethiopian nurse by Somali Islamic soldiers to treat their wounded.
Cajun brings together all his Special Operations buddies from the old days. The U.S. Government provides everything needed in the way of military helicopters because the U.S. cannot set foot back in Somalia after the failed Battle of Mogadishu of 1993. The story moves from England to Oman, then into the Cradle of Mankind in the depths of darkest Africa.
The realism in the execution of multiple military skirmishes involving air to ground firefights could only be written by someone who has pulled the trigger.

How Humanity Lost the Natural Way of Walking and Ended Up with Poor Posture and Back Pain: A Comprehensive Research into Contemporary and Centuries Old Books and Paintings Showing How
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99How many times as we were growing up were we told to “put your shoes on”? It sounded like a sensible idea. Ever since durable footwear became more widely accessible a few generations ago, individuals have valued the protection they provide. It changed the way people walked since they were no longer concerned about the discomfort of walking on rough or pointy surfaces.
You’ll notice that your walk changes from walking in shoes to walking barefoot. When you walk barefoot, you take extra care to land on your toes so they can act as shock absorbers. You most likely walk erratically in shoes, stomping on the ground and landing on your heel because you’re afraid of stepping on something sharp. You are aware that your shoes will keep your feet safe. However, wearing shoes more often and going barefoot or in light shoes less has had an unanticipated effect on most people’s poor posture and back pain.
Discover a tried-and-true, yet mostly ignored, healthy walking technique by reading this book.

Bible Lessons for Broken People
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99This is a book to hand to a broken teenager captured by pills, pot, or meth. This is a book for a woman from an abusive background who feels unworthy of love. This is a book to hand to a recovering addict, desperately seeking Tough, forceful, and poignant. This is exactly the Bible-study book ministers and Christian counselors have been waiting for! So very many people in the modern world are deeply broken – some are so broken that they refuse to even enter a church. Whether victims of child abuse, neglect, addiction, or sexual exploitation, these broken people, young and old, are crying out for help even as their fierce pride forces them to refuse any help that is offered. When pride is all you have, pride is what you cling too. These broken individuals have lived in hell already, and that fierce, desperate pride kept them alive even as it now blocks their progress.
For those deeply broken people, this book is the answer. It speaks to the brokenness – directly to the heart of the darkness that many broken people feel with each breath, speaking with an authentic, direct message of Jesus’s love and compassion. The Roque Warriors document at the first of this book grabs the broken reader by the throat and lets those individuals know that many others have been in their situation before and have found help in these pages. The Bible lessons themselves tackle the harshest issues facing people today: fear, frustration, a complete, desperate sense of aloneness, homosexuality, child sex abuse, the problem of evil, contemplations of suicide, overwhelming guilt, dark rage, unforgiving hatred, and the deeply felt need to find peace amid the darkness of one’s lost soul. This book does not mince words, and the most challenging issues facing broken people today are presented and discussed herein using the Bible and, when possible, Jesus’s own words.
The minister or counselor should discuss each lesson with these broken ones, leading them through these pages as the broken grow stronger in their newly-found hope: their faith. Even when they read alone without a counselor, this book can reach broken people. It could be a gift for many. It will be a lifeline for some.
As Christians, we know that Jesus can and does change even the most broken lives. This book, presenting Jesus’s love and compassion, will help him do exactly that.

Espionage In Miniature
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Jake Barrada worked as an undercover intelligence agent in a super-+secret government organization called The Bureau of Research and Information Acquisition or BRIA.
Now Jake had assignment that was unlike any of his previous missions. The mission objective was a building in a remote Upstate wooded area. American intelligence sources suspected that the building was the headquarters of a terrorist organization. The building was an impenetrable fortress and no one could get in or out without being detected.
The masterminds in the BRIA organization designed a machine that could reduce Jake to the size of a rat. As a miniature man he would fly onto the roof of the enemy fortress on a drone and make his way down the HVAC duct into the interior of the building. Once inside, he would penetrate the large computer and install listening bugs and transmitter devices into the circuitry then get out without being discovered.
The plan looked foolproof on paper, but what would happen when Jake actually tried to execute it?
