A manuscript arrives in the mail, sent by mistake. It asks the question: What if your private life was made public by someone you've never met? Stories within stories tell of two men: a photographer whose life is upended as he seeks the elusive writer who's invaded his world, and the writer who exploits his newfound gift for telling tales and violating boundaries. But is any of this real? If such a book arrived anonymously on your doorstep, could you just let it go? An obsessive search for the author becomes a hall of mirrors, echoed both inside and outside the mystery manuscript. Where is truth? Who owns your life story? And where do stories come from, anyway?

An exploration of musical legacy, Overlook: A Rock and Roll Fable delves into the mysteries of intuitive talent and creation. It is a dance between art and appreciation, between star and fan. It is a chronicle of the last journey of a fictionalized incarnation of the great singer Richard Manuel, of The Band, as he travels back to his adopted home of Woodstock. There he encounters Klokko, a lone mountain man, who is himself searching for meaning beyond the music that he has always turned to. The novel moves through landscapes redolent of mid-1980s America, and deep into the effect of rock and roll on our collective soul. It's about coming to terms with ourselves.

Billy Salviati just wants to be a good soldier, to follow orders and live under the radar. It's all going well until he meets Hettie Warshaw one night on a dark street in Hell's Kitchen. Then his life unravels. Saraceno is the story of a hit man whose good looks are equalled only by his gift for friendship. He survives the vicissitudes of good looks, but his gift for friendship puts him in the crosshairs of friends and enemies. Not many writers about the Mafia listened to the notorious Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, and Joey Adonis drinking marsala and chatting in a kitchen, but Djelloul Marbrook did and celebrates it with a poet's ear in this haunting tale of redemption.

There is no greater honor than to be loved and befriended by God. He desires to become friends with each of us, he longs for us to receive his love and to understand his goodwill for every person. Friendship with God gives us access to God's plans. In order to receive access, God must trust us and that trust begins in our hearts. If we love God with all that we are, we are willing to sacrifice so that others can experience God's love. We commune with him and spend time with him, so that we may hear his instructions. We not only obey his commands, but we enjoy operating in the will of God. Finally, we see others as God sees them. We recognize when others are in need. We forgive those who make mistakes just as God forgave us. We sacrifice our comfort so that others may experience comfort. We love others in the same way we want to be loved. When we are walking with God, spending time with him, and doing his will, we are his friends and gain access to the work he is accomplishing on the earth. To receive the gift of salvation that leads to eternal life, we must only confess and believe in our hearts that Christ died for us. But to gain access to an abundant life, filled with wisdom, stature, and honor, we must place God first and be about His business.

The school closed for the summer holidays and I wished to go for fishing after an intense academic year. After much difficulty I found the bait for the fishes. I waited patiently at the lake for several hours to catch fish. The sun was beginning to set and I had yet to catch any fish. Will I be fortunate enough to catch a fish before the lake closes to visitors?

Sometimes when we are walking in obedience to the will of God, we are met with a request for extreme sacrifice. We have witnessed through stories in the Bible such willingness in Abraham, who was willing to sacrifice a son he'd dreamt of having his entire life; in three Hebrew boys sentenced to death in a fiery furnace; Daniel in the lion's den; and Stephen stoned before the religious leaders. This level of obedience is not intended for the faint of heart, but for those who are completely and totally dependent on God. This is a true test of faith, one that even Jesus himself found difficult.

Why would someone care where your God is? Perhaps it is because they can sense his presence when you enter a room or maybe they experience his love when you are attentive to their needs. Maybe it is because you are as bold as a lion and as harmless as a dove. It could be that they are a witness to your struggle, but you refuse to lose faith. Only God knows why one's curiosity would peak so greatly as to question the location of your God. A relationship with God is required for those who wish to understand his greatness. God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, and omnipresent. Anything he desires is his. All that we see, know and experience has either been created by him or allowed to exist by his authority. God is not an instrument that can be utilized to gain power, money, authority, or fame. He doesn't sit as a statue - motionless and unable to speak. He is. He was. He will be. Those who trust God are protected and blessed.
