Sleeping with the dogs

“”Sleeping With the Dogs”” is the last remaining morsel on my bucket list ….hopefully.
It is a collection of memories and reflections harvested over 50 years of unfastidious traveling, chasing and photographing.

Sunset in the Morning
Ambrose Bruce Chimbganda
About the Book
Sunset in the Morning is a tragic novel whose simplicity, rare imagery, idiom and accent carries the torch of modern African literature. In the novel Ndoda, a seasoned former liberation struggle fighter, is appointed to spearhead development in Uzumba. Initially he is a hero but the trappings of power transform him into a ruthless dictator who brooks no criticism.
Ndoda’s autocratic rule is, however, fiercely opposed by David Kaseke, a high school teacher and Rufaro, a law student who are both gruesomely tortured. The plot is filled with hair-raising scenes, brutality, injustice, suffering, patriotism and love which the reader must experience. The novel breathes truth and reality in our contemporary world in which the powerful trample on the powerless. In a final episode of chilling tragedy, Ndoda is found dead on his gold-plated mahogany bed, having been haunted by the ghost of a spirit medium he had previously ordered to be killed. His benevolent will, though, raises new hope for the people of Uzumba.About the Author

Is This The End?
Dr. Dean Lang
About the Book
Dr. Dean Lang has been studying and teaching Bible Prophecy for more than sixty years starting as a teenager. He teaches these profound prophecies in simple and easy to understand language. People who have heard him speak say, “he paints word pictures that I can understand”. People feel that something is about to happen. Dr. Lang not only teaches you what, but how to prepare for it. “Signs of the end times” is that people will run to and from all over the earth and that knowledge will be greatly increased for example computers, smart phones, IPads and electronics. You may be reading this book in hard cover, paperback, or eBook anywhere in the world. Is this not a fulfillment of this prophecy? God destroyed the world with a flood, but had Noah build an ark. Sadly few people were on it. Don’t you make this mistake? Is there an ark for an escape this time? Yes, read about it in this book. Christians look for the second coming of Christ, referring to the rapture, seven years later when we come back with King Jesus Christ to earth. Moslems look for their coming Messiah Madhi. As I write Moslem countries are toppling the old leaderships and preparing for this new leader. He will take over the world; food shortages worldwide will kill millions and perhaps billions of people. Those who do not worship him and take his mark 666 will be beheaded. A time of hell on earth. The Jews look for their coming Messiah to bring in the thousand year millennium of paradise on earth and He will. Read this book and act upon it today. You can escape all of this if you will repent and accept Christ before the rapture. If the antichrist has already set up his new world order read and act upon it quickly. It will probably cost you your life for now but real soon you will come back to live with King Jesus. You will find out where we all came from. We started in the Garden of Eden which was in Babylon, now Iraq. The first world.

Bad Dreams of a Hungry Dog
Poems of Spiritual Odyssey and A Quest For Enlightenment
Jere Truer
About the Book
My poetry book, Bad Dreams of Hungry Dogs, is my meditation on my spiritual journey and my dialogue with the divine. As a poet, I see my job as one who stands in the midst of the world and reports what he experiences from the point of view of the soul. And so these poems are my soul reactions and responses to outer events in the world in which we live, and also my responses to my own yearnings and questions. Sometimes my responses are angry and confrontive, and sometimes they are beatitudes of grace.
Like most people these days as I face the challenges of life, my attitude is more spiritual than religious per se. And yet I do delve deeply into religious traditions of which I have partaken and honored. My relationship with God is personal and intimate. And like all relationships, it is comforting, discomforting, challenging, and often baffling.
The title refers to a remark said to me years ago, “The search for enlightenment is like the bad dream of a hungry dog.” Hungry dogs whimper and nudge. They whine and pant. They desperately seek something out of privation. Such is our plight as humans in relation to the divine.About the Author
Jere Truer is a poet who has published widely in various journals in Canada and the U.S. He has given many poetry reading and also participated in writing labs and group performances. Jere considered a career in the ministry when young and has pursued a study of spiritual and metaphysical matters most of his life. He has a previous book of poems, “The Art of Dying”, Austin Macauley Publishers, in which he works through his grief regarding the death of his wife Tamara from breast cancer.
In both his spiritual pursuit and his professional work, Jere has sought ways to bring deep healing for often traumatic wounds. In this current book of poems, he converses with God in very intimate and sometimes confrontive ways. Jere’s own beliefs respect the Abrahamic tradition, as well as Buddhist and Asian thought, trying weave together a conversation wherein all faith is, if not the same, a seeking for goodness, grace, and peace.
As in his previous book, the issues raised are universal and express thoughts and feelings that lie hidden in the human heart. He lives in Arizona but grew up and had a private psychotherapy practice in Minneapolis. For the past fifteen years, he has been on the faculty of Adler Graduate School. He has several grown children and grandchildren. His other loves include composing music and collecting instruments from around the world. He is also a gifted storyteller, accompanying himself with a hand drum and telling ancient folk tales. -
