Countenance provides us a look into Randall Simmons as he rediscovers his father, Paul, through the family recollections, stories and notes he discovers in the last two days of his father's life. For Randall, this story begins with feelings of self-gu...

When I decided to write a book for Scarlet, it had to be about her favorite bird, the Owl. I knew little about them, so had to research them. I planned at first that I, as an artist, would illustrate the book. I then realized that, even though I am an animal artist, I would find the owls very difficult. Then I remembered my dear friend, Roberta Davis, who I knew could do a fantastic job. So I called her and happily she agreed to do the illustr...

Letters of disillusionment with Nigerian politics and government from students I'd taught at Nigerian universities in the 1980's inspired this book of fiction. They'd complained of how the virtues of government they'd learned in class were being defamed by successive Nigerian governments. Public services dysfunction, infrastructure decay, chronic official corruption, clamped down free speech, perennial election rigging, and state-sponsored law...

The Lovely Lane Meeting House in Baltimore, Maryland, was the location of the meeting in 1794, which founded the Methodist Episcopal Church of America, and subsequently, the city became a fertile ground for the rapid growth of Methodism. The mere existence of Methodist records this early is somewhat unusual. There are few records in the state before 1850 despite the phenomenal growth of Methodist churches in Maryland during this period. From t...

Have you ever wondered why the Christian life can be so hard sometimes? If this is God's plan of salvation, why isn't it easier? The truth is the Christian life doesn't need to be as hard as we make it. The secret is very simple: All you have to do is die (spiritually speaking).

Life is not always perfect, but we have a God that can get us through anything if we let Him. Growing up, author Amanda Murry met many challenges. She didn't feel close to her family and believed she grew in the shadow of her older brother. She didn't feel close to her peers at school, finding a friend in only a little girl down the street from her. She grew up selfish, not understanding the importance of money or that some things are out of o...

Matt 10:20 states, For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you. John 12:50 states, And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

This is an anthology of my work in short stories, essays, poems, and scripts about someone who grapples with his existential angst. There are eternal problems from the dawn of man to be solved philosophically, but there are always special problems in each era that require our immediate attention due to the lifestyles we choose and the way that families, societies, culture, and civilizations come together and sometimes break apart. It is during...

... Countless uncounted airy diamond-specks Of downy white and glitter Lay upon sleeping grass and naked trees. Silent power whispers to the winds, Mistress of mountain air, Earth and sky, sun and moon. All life lies strangled In the folds of her triumph, And the snow falls and falls and falls ... Maria Obiechina has been greatly moved by certain events in the world and her life. In her debut collection of poems, she shares poignant verse that...
