A Reason for Living
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99It is the mid-1960s in Kingston, Jamaica, and the country is steeped in social, political, and economic inequities. Howard Baxter, the heir to a real estate empire, has no interest in seeking or managing wealth. Painting and deflowering Jamaican maidens are his passions. As he combs the streets looking for greater meaning in his pathetic life, it soon becomes apparent that Howard’s journey will not be easy. Bernaldo Lloyd, a member of the Baxter clan, is a medical student who is sensitive to the hopelessness of the Jamaican masses. Inspired by his close friend and Howard’s cousin, Ras Robin Pone, and their ties with the Rastafari movement that calls for social and economic equity, Bernaldo is determined to overthrow the corrupt government. As Howard, Bernaldo and Robin become influenced by The American Black Power and Civil Rights movements demanding equal rights for African Americans, the women in their lives both love and criticize them. But when revolution breaks out, Howard finally discovers a purpose for his twisted life that leads him in a direction he never anticipated. In this tale of love, passion, and self-discovery, three Jamaican men become caught up in a 1960s revolution that reveals injustices, oppression, and a purpose for one of them.

The Search: A Historian’s Search for Historical Jesus
Price range: $3.99 through $30.99The Search is neither predominately scholarly, historical, nor inspirational. Rather, it is a book that seeks to understand why Jesus said what he said and did what he did in light of the fact that he was not only a loyal Galilean Jew but he was also a loyal Roman subject, who was probably educated in Greco-Roman influenced schools, who probably worked under the authority of Roman administrators, who ministered under the protection of Roman officials, and who died as a enemy of Rome as mandated by Roman law. The book is not intended to present Jesus in any lesser light than that of deity. Yet, within the context of known Greco-Roman history, customs, philosophies, and manners of the time in which Jesus lived and ministered. It attempts to show under what circumstances his ministry and popularity grew and flourished in Roman Mare Nostrum and then floundered. The Search is historical in that it portrays the life of Jesus as it was in Roman Mare Nostrum East. It is scholarly in that it confirms each Gospel recorded event with non-biblical authenticating documentation. It is inspirational in that it assumes that the Gospel records are the most accurate records available about the life of Jesus and that the word and deeds recorded in the Gospel narratives have been preserved for two millennia because they were the narratives that God felt would be most spiritually beneficial to this Current generation. This book will attempt to discover Jesus’ life by filling in the empty center between birth and death by reaching beyond the bare bones skeleton of historical Jesus and alighting upon the fully developed historical epic of Jesus-the loyal Jewish Roman
subject of Roman Mare Nostrum East.

EU ACREDITO NO PAPAI NOEL E EU ACREDITO EM DEUS: Por que Eu Acredito
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99O Sr. Currie discute como pode ser difícil compartilhar as razões pelas quais acredita em Deus, o que o motivou a escrever este livro. A tese principal é que faz tanto sentido cientificamente quanto logicamente acreditar em Deus como não acreditar. Ele aceita que você possa discordar de sua escolha, mas espera que considere que a crença não é necessariamente uma ilusão ou algo que arruína tudo. Com alguma discussão sobre o que queremos dizer com crença e Deus, ele apresenta as razões e evidências que sustentam sua crença. Algumas razões para acreditar estão baseadas em coisas nas quais ele não acredita. Ele não acredita que o nada possa produzir algo, que a matéria tenha existido para sempre, ou que a inteligência, a consciência, as emoções e o senso de moralidade tenham surgido da matéria inanimada. Ele acredita que há evidências de design na criação e na vida que apontam para Deus. Essas coisas exigem uma entidade autônoma, inteligente e externa ao nosso tempo e espaço, Deus. Ele também acredita que os argumentos contra Deus não são adequados para negar a plausibilidade de uma crença sensata. Ele acredita no livre-arbítrio. Uma pessoa pode escolher acreditar ou não. Qualquer uma das escolhas é baseada na compreensão de uma pessoa sobre a evidência, juntamente com a fé.

Price range: $3.99 through $10.99El Sr. Currie discute cómo puede ser difícil compartir las razones por las cuales cree en Dios, lo que lo motivó a escribir este libro.

Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone is a unique collection of music and poetry that celebrates the spirit of Kwanzaa. Set to familiar holiday tunes, these songs have all new lyrics and are expressed with a distinctive cultural flavor. The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili language and means “the first fruits of harvest” It is celebrated during the seven day period from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a unique cultural event that pays homage to the past, present, and future of African Americans. It has no religious connotations nor does it attempt to replace or substitute for Christmas, or any religious beliefs or observations. The reason why Kwanzaa came to be is simple: Until the creation of Kwanzaa by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, African Americans did not have a specific occasion to universally celebrate our culture. Kwanzaa incorporates African heritage into the festivities of the winter solstice and holiday season. After over forty years, practice, Kwanzaa is now celebrated by millions of people thorough out America, the African Diaspora, and all over the world. The seven principles of Kwanzaa promote family values, cultural enlightenment, and the growth of a cooperative community spirit, collective economic opportunities, community strength, family cohesiveness and progressive individual expression. The ultimate goal of Kwanzaa is that the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, become a living part of the individual and community until they are practiced every day of the year.
