The Book of Images highlights dreaming as the major avenue of communication between supernatural beings and man. This book demonstrates that the supernatural realm controls the physical realm and yearns to reveal hidden secrets and connect with mortal man "Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing His secret plan to His servants the prophets...Amos 3:7 AMP"From Larry Page the inventor of Google, to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity to Elias Howe and the humble sewing machine, some of the world's most celebrated inventions have come from eureka inspiration in mid-sleep. As the world counts down to an inevitable end, God is still in the business of revealing new inventions, unique ideas and great events that will shape the final days and help people around the world live longer, healthier and more-productive lives. The Book of Images can be likened to a dreamer's dictionary where the author interprets the meaning of vast images, symbols, figures, names and events one might encounter while dreaming. This book is intended to help dreamers understand the significance of dreaming and explain simple dreaming terminology to unlock the basic universal meaning of dream languages that will help to unravel the significance of their dreams. Although there are no universally acceptable interpretations for all dreams due to socio-cultural differences, this book will assist any reader to develop a healthy attitude towards dreaming and understand the meaning of their dreams.

I knew noone in Chicago and I had no relatives in Chicago. Twelve years later I had a Bachelor of ScienceDegree in Biology and a Doctorate in Medicine. I am now a board-certifiedpediatrician.Ihave written of this experience with some degree of creativity and I havewritten it with humor. This manuscript contains about 80,000 words. Thismanuscript is not a simple chronology of events; in the manuscript I usepoetry, prose, and cultural perspective, to weave a very entertaining andencouraging read.Myaudience for my manuscript ranges from high school through young adulthood,especially those needing encouragement to persist in seeking goals when thereis not much parental support. However, even older adults can surely deriveencouragement and entertainment from reading my book.Ihad not told anyone that I wanted to become a doctor; from a black derelict,that would sound ridiculous!Iarrived in Chicago with all I owned in a duffel bag...

So I had atotal of twenty-eight dollar upon which to build a new life.12years later, on JUNE 7th, 1971, a ten year old boy in my hometown, Mobile, delivered a newspaper, "T

This little book is an exercise in theological imagination - a theologumenon. It is a modest attempt, in an intentionally untoward way, to re-acquaint us with a patristic vision of the universally salvific love of God that reconciles and divinizes all things in Christ that he may be 'all in all' (1 Cor. 15:28).Aporiae approaches the most controversial issues in theology - universal salvation, freedom, evil, etc. - using an entirely interrogative form. I'm not trying to get anyone to believe anything. I'm pointing towards a Horizon and a Mystery of divine goodness and love that infinitely exceeds anything of which the human mind and heart can conceive (cf. 1 Cor 2:9).I pray the questions I raise in this little book will affect the reader as I intend - as sincere 'inquiries from the eschaton'. They are inspired, I believe, by an intuitive apprehension of the universally redemptive Mystery of trinitarian Love, and filled with the 'hope does not disappoint, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit' (cf. Rom 5:5), convincing us that 'just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive' (1 Cor. 15:22).

Larsen Bowker's three Chapbooks and seven books of poetry, take images and metaphors come from a childhood in a small Prairie town in Nebraska with more trees, hills and rivers than massive fields of grain, and found his narrative style growing up in resilient synchronicity of his parents' polar opposite personalities-physical vigor of his Father's inventive silence and his Mother's lubricious loquacity, making it easy for him to believe all lives grow out of myths and physical images shaping who we are and seek to become.Both athlete and poet, he believes Faith in Body, Mind and Soul forms the character best-suited to avoid discipleship to one of the three...while "our best chance to connect all three to who we are and what we want to become is that elusive, mystical, charismatic state of being we can never quite define, but know for sure when they are in synch, as if they were as distinct as the line of our nose in three way mirrors, or the memory of our first kiss."

Why I wrote this BookI became interested in writing about the Vietnam War from my own perspective when I saw TV documentaries showing marines and some army soldiers indiscriminately burning Vietnamese thatch houses, destroying livestock and capturing old men, women and children. Those documentaries give a negative impression to the American public, that all American soldiers did that. This book is to tell the readers from my own personal combat experiences, that there were American soldiers and ARVN Rangers who fought and died courageously against the Viet Cong guerillas and North Vietnamese Army soldiers without harming old men, women or children. On my tour of duty from 1966 to 1967, my recon platoon, my 4th/12th Battalion, my 199th Brigade and the gallant South Vietnamese Black Panther Rangers that fought and died beside us, did not burn any thatch houses or shoot any innocent civilians.
