So-so is a compilation of writings that cross genres through prose, poetry, and short stories. The author intends to weave both classical thematic elements, literary devices, and influences from classical and modern writers to form a style that leaves you feeling a hallucinatory experience that reverberates within the bounds of the collection. This compilation includes writings from 2011 to 2023 from which nearly half of the writings between 2011 and 2018 were not included and are no longer with us. It is a deeply personal beacon for those interested in a deconstruction of literary composition.

The co-pastor of a thriving ministry in Newport News, Virginia, Carolyn Ricks, takes you behind the pulpit, beyond the million-dollar smile and charismatic personality, into the depths of her life. Placed in the foster care system at 18 months and later adopted by two God-fearing parents, Carolyn grew up surrounded by love and with a firm foundation built on faith; as a teen, she found herself struggling with anger, rejection, and feelings of abandonment. Matters of the heart led her down a path of destructive behavior, and she found herself facing teenage pregnancy. With love and compassion, Pastor Carolyn Ricks candidly shares her unhindered journey of how she beat the odds and how, as a mother of five, she became a homeowner by the age of 25, later found her identity in Christ, and then the love of her life, Apostle Jullian Ricks. Life After Adoption is a testament to God's love and how His hands guide our existence. This autobiography is essential reading for anyone who has ever fought to figure out where they belong.

The rock that destroyed Mars is coming to Earth in a few years so the Martians left behind a powerful small ship to train the survivors on Earth in science to once again evacuate Earth. SHIP picks its own captains to advance science. In the past SHIP chose Aristotle, Tesla, and others, but science had wars instead of scientific advancement. Now time is almost up and SHIP chooses a young college freshman as its last captain. Volume one deals with his training and his advancement on Earth. SHIP allows him to select females on SHIP to provide him human service, but no males, but he needs experts to help with the mission to evacuate some of humanity to the stars. He fills his crew with six female experts to speed his mission.Volume two The six women experts in their fields promote various areas of science to push humanity toward space travel.

This Lexicon is a prophetic vision God bestowed upon me. The vision is that the Bible is the message of Salvation in Christ Jesus to all mankind. Yet, the Bible has been used as religious systems ad- vocating, "doing good you're blessed, doing bad you're chastised". Does the original text really assert as such? This book has the answers. Any answer marginalizes the power of resurrection of Christ causes ten of thousands people dying every day. This Lexicon uncovers the mystery of Jesus Christ in the original text. Factually believing the ultimate truth who is Jesus Christ Himself in the Word from the original text saves you as well as saving your neighbors. Having this Lexicon handy likens to having a key to discover the final truth in a Bible text.

This book is about trusting God. Trusting God even when nothing makes sense. It's about holding on when defeat whispers. This book chronicles my life from age eight and the journey of experiencing God as a waymaker. All of my life God has made a way out of no way. He has been faithful. Even after the death of loved ones, experiencing loss, financial instability, disappointments and turmoil. I literally lost everything twice. Even through the hardest times, my faith never wavered. I asked God tough questions, but He welcomes our questions. I trust God with my life, my children, my husband, my marriage, my ministry and my soul. He loves me more than I love myself. This book will show you how to trust God. I will show you how to have faith in God. I cannot make you love God or serve God, but I will show you how to use basic steps to exercise your faith and trust in a God you cannot see. God never left me. He is indeed a constant Waymaker. I realize now that to whom much is given, much is required. Our hardships and obstacles in life are prerequisites for restoration, miracles and mountain top experiences. In other words, you will have to go through some things to make it to your purpose and fulfill your destiny.

Hablar de Patrick Vertroue, protagonista de la novela "Luz y Sombra", es describir un alma impregnada de amor a Dios, dispuesto siempre a encontrar en los sucesos de su vida, por más crudos, obscuros e inesperados que sean, la luz que encamina al entendimiento y a la compasión. También es un hombre como todos, expuesto a caer en las tentaciones del mundo en que vive, con debilidades y quebrantos, con miedos, dudas y zozobras.Siendo niño, fue testigo del asesinato de sus padres por órdenes del régimen del sistema de segregación racial en Sudáfrica llamado Apartheid, pero por azares del destino, fue rescatado del lugar por su abuela, quien lo entregó a un grupo de misioneros jesuitas; ellos lo trasladaron a "La Compañía de Jesús" en Los Ángeles, California donde le dieron cobijo y educación. Con el paso del tiempo, descubrieron en el joven su profunda vocación de servicio y su gran amor a Dios.En la primera oportunidad que se presentó, la curia decidió enviarlo a la comunidad de "La Casa de Jesús" en Johannesburgo. Llegó cargado de sueños, aferrado a su fe en Dios, sin sospechar que tendría que vivir en carne propia, la más cruenta experiencia de su vida, pero no solo estaría en juego su fe en Dios y su paz interior debido a la crueldad, la intriga y la infamia de los hombres, así como la traición de los suyos, también se encontraría con el amor de Melisa, una joven desdichada y resentida, adicta a las drogas y al alcohol, víctima de la descomposición social occidental y principalmente de un hombre perverso, racista y cruel... su padre, un eminente político con poder para corromper a quien fuera para lograr sus objetivos.

El joven sacerdote descubrió que el amor tiene mil formas y que ninguna de ellas tiene el poder de vencer a la otra.En la trama de la novela "Luz y Sombra" se desenvuelven varias historias de personajes especiales que se contrapuntean y que interfieren en las decisiones del sacerdote con sus actos, pero nos enseñan una gama diversa de emociones y actitudes que invitan a la reflexión sobre la forma de pensar y de ver la vida de cada uno de ellos.La historia del sacerdote Vertroue está plagada de aventura, suspenso y romance, donde su fe en Dios, su vocación como sacerdote, su capacidad de confiar y perdonar penderán de un hilo. Vivirá la encrucijada de seguir las normas del mundo, o permanecer firme con sus convicciones. ¿Sería capaz de vencer el miedo y las tentaciones?, ¿su fe en Dios sería realmente inquebrantable?
