Can you look at a life with its twists and turns and predict the outcome of that life? Many people; including teachers, psychologists, and other professionals believe that circumstances determine outcomes; that broken lives are the automatic consequence of poverty, divorce, discrimination, abuse, or a myriad of other factors. This is often true, but every now and then something happens; God intervenes, and circumstances become stepping stones. As one who has lived it, I know that circumstances don't define, but enable and fortify; and can be used to declare the awesome power of a loving God in the life of His child. This story is true. I am a living testimony of the power of God.Iona Hollins graduated from Hayti (Negro) Central High School as Valedictorian in May 1959.

What Separates Belief from Unbelief...?Believers and Unbelievers appear to approach philosophical and spiritual discussions as debates-complete with their own individual language that, when used, creates a defensive position-a belief barrier-to be overcome before any meaningful exploration of truth can begin.Believers in God tend to begin religious discussions with a "How can you not see it my way?" mindset.Unbelievers of God tend to approach such discussions with a "How can you believe the way you do?" mindset.This book is simply a conversation between two stuch people. It is not designed to prove one side right or wrong but merely to provoke conversation. Without dialogue, there cannot be a deeper exploration of self in comparison to others. Without interaction, there cannot be a relationship at all.My hope is that Believement-Breaking through the Belief Barrier inspires you to ask yourself what we all have difficulty understanding of others..."What is my deepest belief-what do I live for above all else?"May your quest for Believement begin here!Mark A. Cornelius has authored numerous books, musicals, video productions, and a journal ministry.His works include the popular fiction novel titled The Singularity, also published by Tate Publishing Enterprises.Mark's other books and insights can be obtained on his website at www.MarkCorneli.us.

The "Serendipity of Marriage" is based on biblical scrip-teaching. Reverend Smith as a minister, has been consoling men, women, and couples for over twenty years, discussing their difference in the behavior of the opposite gender. To help them better understand their role in their relationship, Rev. Smith would direct them to scripture, where they are able to feel their role within their relationship. Marriage is a sacred union before God; it does not matter how difficult your relationship is, with your husband or wife, because if you first have that relationship between you and God, then your relationship between your husband or wife will be a benefactor of your relationship with God. We should not go into marriage because of money or other material wants, but it should be based on "LOVE" and only "LOVE." Everything else that you receive after marriage would be a blessing from God.¿¿Rev. Dr. Joseph D. Smith is the fifth of eight children.

Life is a short journey, and in this short journey, there are many tasks. We have to breathe, drink water, and eat to stay alive. We have to sleep to have energy, to associate with others, to educate ourselves in order to have better lives, to have fun, to work, so it can provide for us, and... On the way to this journey, we have to stop once in a while and think about others and about the future of the world. The topics in A Basket of Goodies are deeply interwoven with our daily lives, and we are witnessing tragedies related to one subject in this book or another. By learning from each other and reflecting on the existing pain, we can prevent some of these tragedies. This book encourages humanity to overcome differences and seeks everlasting peace for all of humankind by understanding important social and economic differences and problems. If a young person can learn some things from it, it has completed its purpose. If it can bring a shed of joy to an elderly person, it has done better. And if it provides knowledge to a middle-aged person, it has done excellently. I consider this work as a part of my contribution to all that I owe to the world.

Before I wrote this book, I interviewed police officers, detectives, police chiefs, captains, and sergeants. Many of these fine groups of people told me that the atrocities in my book happen every day.I was told that there are many people in law enforcement that are like the main character, David Stone. David Stone takes the law into his own hands and gets rid of the bad guys and only the bad guys. I have asked most of the law enforcement people if I could quote them directly and use their names.Each and every one of them emphatically told me no! Some disclosed to me that there are people, good, honorable people, even today are getting rid of the bad guys.Generally, the criminals that rape and torture their victims are the ones that never make it to court. At times during my interviews, I was surprised at what I was entrusted with.Therefore, I did not know if I could place my book under nonfiction, based on true events, or fiction, describing imaginary events.Needless to say, I dislike violent criminals, Blacks that hate Whites, Whites that hate Blacks, Mexicans who hate both Blacks and Whites, and Blacks that hate Mexicans.Some say my book is too graphic.
