    Struggling To Be Me: No Longer Silent & Invisible At The Table

    As a black woman in the United States of America with a career in STEM and Ministry, my life began with two strikes from birth. People made choices for and about me based on how they saw me through their presupposition. No matter how much I changed my appearance, worked on my vernacular, educated myself and assimilated into a patriarchal world, it was still a struggle to be seen, heard, respected and trusted.
    Today, women in leadership like myself continue to experience gender discrimination by men and women, especially as black, brown and indigenous women advance their careers in academia, institutions, politics and corporations. It’s the verbal and non-verbal communication that tells women this isn’t your place.

    Have You Seen My Daddy?

    Who is your daddy? If Pastor John R. Peyton was asked this question when he was a boy, he might be ashamed to admit who his daddy was, having grown up in an abusive household with an alcoholic, womanizing father.

    However, now as a faithful servant of God and pastor of a loving church, he can now say his true daddy is that of his heavenly Father God.

    His new book, Have You Seen My Daddy?, is Pastor John’s detailed life story, beginning with his birth and childhood in Virginia to a strong Christian mother and an abusive, lost father. As he grew up, he witnessed hypocrisy in his home church and racism from other churches, wondering if this Jesus that was spoken of was really someone to be praised and worshipped.

    He was soon drafted into the army and traveled to Central America and, all while struggling with his hatred toward white people that intensified through his involvement with the Black Panther Party. It wasn’t until the most unlikely of people witnessed to him of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice that Pastor John’s life turned around and because of this he was sent to Vietnam.

    As Pastor John moved forward with his life, becoming a husband and father to three daughters, he began to feel God leading him down certain paths where his testimony of God taking away the hate and bringing him peace was impacting people’s lives.

    Pastor John, as an agent of reconciliation for God, has been the vessel to change the lives of many, from lost lives in prison ministry to the well-to-do and various races and statuses. The hope is that readers will understand through his life story the need for God in our lives and that change for the better can only happen through Jesus.

    Have you seen your Daddy? Because He’s looking for you!

    “Having been a close observer of the tumultuous events that have transpired and the change of course that has taken place during the past few years in the local churches under the leadership of Witness Lee, and having been myself an intimate co-worker of Witness Lee’s and an elder in the local churches for more than twenty-five years, I feel it is appropriate and indeed obligatory for me to relate an account of my own observations, inward exercises, and responses.

    Parchita

    When I was young, my mom and dad did their best to provide for our family. Money was scarce. Neighbors and our church would sometimes give us clothing. I remember finding a pair of pants in one of the boxes which fit me perfectly. However, I grew taller and my pants unfortunately didn’t. My mom would either sew patches to cover up holes from overuse and she would also sew fabric to the bottom of each pant leg to make them longer. The word for patches in Spanish is parches. Parchita is what inspired me to write this book. I truly hope you enjoy my story.

    Havana 1995: English Version

    “The work between a dream and reality, is a symbolic encounter of two individuals who represent one, the Cuban exiles, and the other the new cuban generation who developed in Castro’s Cuba. The story isa deep reflection on the future of Cuba, the fragmented identity of Cubans and their conflicts in the face of the possibility of what is becoming more and more inevitable: the freedom of Cuba.

    The primary value of the book is that it will have meaning before and after the fall of the socialist’s regime. Ileana contrasts the generation of the Cubans in Cuba and those who live in exile. We must read these revealing pages, so literally beautiful and so shockingly Cuban. We all learn a lot from this magical form of this writer who now surprises us with this volume that cannot be ignored. She will prepare the mood and the attitude for the day.”

    I affirm

    More than ten years ago I started writing affirmations for my husband’s Ministry, Our Fathers Business, a noon-day prayer line. I have always believed that the use of affirmations is an effective tool for becoming or having what you desire. However, it wasn’t until I based them upon the “Word of God “that I truly experienced their awesome power. I believe that when we speak, and feel with our hearts what we speak, we receive or manifest what we have spoken. Therefore, I suggest you place your name in affirmations, prayers, and scriptures. Replace my shared experiences with your own. Sing and meditate with others and “you “in mind.

    I encourage you to make these affirmations and your time with God a truly personal experience. For they will not only enlighten and encourage all believers, they will, also, inspire, enrich and transform the lives of everyone. Because my background is faith-based, all prayers and testimonies are scriptural. Furthermore, all presented Biblical writings and footnotes are derived from The Holy Bible, King James Version (KJV).

    As for the purpose and meaning of my life heretofore and the information presented in this book, I stand firmly upon, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”

    Turtletoes: Following the Steps of An Angel

    Life seems to always provide the experiences and people we each need for our development and maturity, even happiness. Turtletoes is about one of those people, a daughter born with birth defects, whose influence helped raise the author, her father, to become a better man than he could have on his own.
    The book is about Tracy Purles, who was born with congenital heart disease and intellectual disability. Tracy endured being different. Physical, and mental challenges became a life-light for her family and friends. Her faith in God, determination to “be like everyone else,” resilience, and enjoyment of life’s little pleasures blessed the lives of her family and many others throughout her 20 years of life.
    This is not a book about tragedy, but about the value and beauty of life, no matter at what level it must be lived. It is a story about how one little girl meets the challenge of staying alive with such faith, hope, and grace that her influence invites Heaven’s blessings for all. Her father writes that her passing from this life and going “Home” was one of the most spiritual experiences of his life. If you want an uplifting, “real world” experience that will touch your soul and invite you to thank God for your own life, read Turtletoes, Following the Steps of An Angel.

    Embrace Ennobling Experiences: Thoughts on The Verities Of Life – A Personal Journey

    In every life there are those milestones that are transformative for our souls such as baptism, receiving saving ordinances and marriage in one of God’s temples, and certainly the birth of children.
    I want to share with you some experiences that have changed how I think, feel, and who I am. These are not the regular milestones of life, as important as they are. These are less visible experiences, but I see in them the Hand of the Lord providing education and blessings that may be unique in their impact on me, as they would be for each person. However, they are vital to our spiritual wellbeing and progress in mortality.
    God does not perform inconsequential works. I have come to know them as ENNOBLING.

    From Dean’s List to Dumpsters: Why I Left Harvard to Join a Cult

    Jim Guerra was recruited during his sophomore year at Harvard College into the religious cult known as “Th e Brethren” or “Th e Garbage Eaters”. For the next decade, Jim was transformed from a happy, self-confident Christian college student to a highly controlled devout follower of Jim Roberts, a charismatic leader of a nomadic Bible-based ministry. Forsaking Harvard, family, career aspirations and all his possessions, he departed Harvard to join with a vagabond ministry that subsisted on food from supermarket dumpsters and fast-food restaurants.
    This book captures the mind control processes that prolonged his departure from society, alienation from his family, his forced celibacy, and the rejection of all Christian churches outside this small ministry. Jim is careful to chronicle both the growth and the metamorphosis of his mindset as he isolates himself from society for ten-and-a-half years in order to be saved with a small remnant of end-time believers. Follow him from Harvard to the woods and finally back to his family, and experience it through his 20/400 vision. You will see why bright young people are sucked into cults, and how he eventually escaped.

    Victims of Ineptitude: An Insider’s Account of Injustice within the World Health Organization

    For years, critics have demanded reform of the World Health Organization. Its management structure in particular is said to be archaic, its staff deeply demoralised. But, since WHO like other UN bodies, is accountable to no-one but itself, it dodders along unchanged. It is left to the ground staff of International Civil Servants to grapple with the real difficulties the ivory-tower academics pinpoint in long winded reports. The work of these International Civil Servants in distant lands among foreign cultures is often hazardous and lonely, and requires good management by those at the centre if it is to succeed. Instead, as this story shows, there is often lack of support and callous disregard which matters deeply because, if staff are as a result, unable to meet the extremely difficult challenges they face, no blast of grand talk at a conference, no high flying plan on plush paper, will save millions of dollars donated by the developed world from sinking like water into the sand. The individual human story related here reveals weaknesses in this great Organization which, multiplied over the region, help to explain why Africa remains the most disease-ridden continent on earth.

    Love Kept Hope Alive

    The aim of this book is to enlighten anyone who reads it what dementia and Alzheimer’s can do to the family if it is not prepared and do not work together and get outside support from sources willing to help like Alzheimer’s Association. Also with new Hippa laws if not wrote down exactly how you want to be taken care most likely, it won’t be done and there is nothing can be done about it. The old saying about not looking into the future is so wrong, because you should plan if something bad like this was to strike. Your health and well-being is so important. God lets us stay alive so let us thank Him for each moment and be grateful for each moment we are granted to spend with our loved one and cherish all the good memories. This is my story and my struggle with mom’s Alzheimer’s.

    The Mark of Cain

    The Mark of Cain is the true story of Isaiah Baity, Jr., a young black man growing up in the South. After hearing a Klansman speak to an enthusiastic audience on a talk show, Isaiah is left pondering the implications of the Mark of Cain.

    In his struggle to come to terms with racial prejudice with biblical “sources,” he investigates the view that the Mark of Cain is a curse inherited by the blacks, branding them as outcasts who must pay for Cain’s sin. This has a great impact on Isaiah and his family as he grows up in the South, a victim of racism and hatred. For years he believes that they suffer because they are cursed, but then as he matures, a caring friend helps him to realize that there is no curse. . . only senseless prejudice. After this spiritual awakening, Isaiah devotes his life to helping those less fortunate and to bringing people together.

    Isaiah learns that though he has gone through many hard years, it is serving God that counts in the end, and that there is nothing like sitting at God’s feet. The Mark of Cain tells a story that is a testament to the power of God’s love to sustain us despite man’s mistaken hatred and fear.
