Never Lose Sight of the Dark
Daniel Wolf
About the Book
Writer and humorist Daniel Wolf, a longtime observer of the many grave afflictions of modern society, believes that we are now in the midst of one of the craziest periods in human history. He regrets to say he is lacking in proposals for practical policy solutions to our many intractable problems. But taking a cue from the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who asserted that desperate times require desperate measures, Mr. Wolf suggests that crazy times require crazy advice. Claiming that “a distorted view of the world provides great clarity,” he offers Never Lose Sight of the Dark.Daniel Wolf intends this collection of mostly contrarian counter-wisdom to serve as a modest antidote to the monumental, shockingly profitable, and generally unhelpful self-help industry. He also hopes to provide a strong dose of amusement. But is laughter truly the best medicine? The author’s answer is an unequivocal “YES!”

The kind of perfectionism that breeds pride of reputation in the leaders, and the members become charged with defending the leaders’ personal reputations. So when the pastor molests the children, and before he can be brought to justice, the reputations take priority over the victims. And in the desperation to swept it all under the carpet, the heads roll through the congregation like the fall of upstanding dominos. Who can survive such a house cleaning?About the Author

The Unworthy Servant
Bob Williston
About the Book
Aaron Finkelstein turned to his friend’s cultic religious group for fellowship and a spiritual experience. That he found, but his pursuit of a personal relationship with God became a trek through a maze of legalism and confusion of doctrine. Extortion and money laundering were part and parcel of doing business with a homeless and penniless ministry. The mandate of a celibate ministry and the ban on homosexuality were obviously difficult to police, and their investigative methods into transgressions seriously flawed. There was curiosity and suspicion of members of minority ethnicity, and acknowledged duplicity in judgment when incidents involved those members. But what to do about the life savings Aaron had given them?About the Author

The Handmaiden’s Diary
Bob Williston
About the Book
What does it take to live a pious life? For the sober, devout, naive young Edith it meant foregoing the love of her life … and she entered into an unhappy and disastrous marriage to a dashing, narcissistic reprobate whom her pastor considered a worthily righteous mate. Her only compensation for her miserable situation were her two children who worshiped her.For her timid young daughter, Amber, it meant foregoing a comforting married life for a celibate pastoral life in the community of her mother’s reportedly enlightened and judicious childhood pastor. But Amber kept a diary, and when her Pandora’s diary was abruptly opened one day, no one but she and Edith found freedom from the evils hidden beneath the pastoral exhibition of piety.

Khepera
Terrence Tom
About the Book
This book is designed to introduce children K through 12th grade to their ancient African history. The Africans in Kmt (Egypt) saw the sun as a manifestation of the living God. Atum is recognized as the first creator. However, after Atum the visibility of the sun rose in prominence. Their early perception was that the sun resurrects each morning at dawn. During the day the sun appears to traverse the sky and at dusk it disappears into the underworld. Khepera is anthropomorphize as the scarab beetle. The midday sun at its peak signifies RA. In the evening as the sun goes down into the underworld it is referred to as Amen – the hidden one.About the Author

Family Ties
Thicker Than Blood
B.G. Howard
About the Book
Willie LeBeaux finds his way to the mean streets of the city that never sleeps. While in the process of running from his past, he encounters what could be a more troubling future…if he can survive the present.“”It seemed like so long ago and so far away from home down in South Georgia. I had only been in New York a few years, but it felt like an eternity since coming to the Big Apple, chasing dreams of stardom and life on easy street. Ironically, it’s not until you arrive in the city that never sleeps when you realize your chances at stardom rank right up there with the odds you’ll hit the lottery. There’s no street named ‘Easy’ anywhere in this country; at least, not for a poor man with a tenth-grade education who can only boast a doctorate from ‘Thug University.’ I remembered the last words my father spoke to me as I left for the bus station. ‘Yaain’t worth a damn now, and ya ain’t nev’r gone be worth a damn ‘til da day dem folk throws dirt in ya face.'””
