This is a book of sermons about several courageous women in the Bible, which I have identified from the Old and New Testament scriptures. I developed or created these sermons because of the bold example from my Mother, Elizabeth Murphy-Clayton. As a single parent, this courageous woman raised nine children: five sons and four daughters. Her five sons all served honorably in the United States Armed Forces. Furthermore, these sermons about female biblical characters reflect my mother's personality. While I created sermons about Deborah, Esther, Rahab, Ruth, and Hannah, as are five courageous women of the Old Testament, I also developed five homilies about five women in the New Testament. These brave women are (1) Mary, the Mother of Jesus; (2) Mary Magdalene; (3) Mary of Bethany; (4) Priscilla; and (5) Lydia in the New Testament. These sermons are essentially a male perspective about women who continue to serve as valuable and impeccable role models for how women today, especially African American women, can serve as courageous examples to achieve excellence in various fields of endeavor. The content provided here falls primarily into homiletic womanist studies, with some relevance to African-American philosophy, religion, cultural studies, etc.

When I think back about the history that happened while I was growing up to graduate in the class of '68 in small-town America, I was more thinking about relationships, dating, muscle cars, movies, TV shows, drive-ins and family events. I heard of some events while they happened but didn't realize the full extent of how our country and the world changed with the history that took place at the same time. I took a look back and now I want to share with you every day, country and world events that shaped our lives.

I wrote this book based on a dream I had on October 19, 2011. My book I believe is a message to all of Gods children all over the world. God gave us all special gifts for us to use in life. Patience, respect, loyalty, and above all Love. However, it is for us to acknowledge these gifts given to us. It is also for to us to accept these gifts and to learn how to use them properly. I believe the turtles acknowledged the gifts given to them. They practiced having patience by waiting on each other to all arrive. The turtles demonstrated respect for one another by working together and keeping order in place. They showed loyalty by taking turns and making sure all got to safety. Last but not least they used their love for one another as the foundation of their plan. I believe if we all accept these gifts and apply them to our everyday life, we to can build that bridge and overcome the negative obstacles in our life ourselves.

Feeling My Culture echoes what many British people are thinking and feeling, even if they are not saying it. Its view-from-the-street look at multicultural Britain today is a heartfelt and passionate critique that is both blisteringly funny and deeply serious. The UK's answer to Michael Moore's Stupid White Men, this fiercely anti-PC polemic takes no political prisoners, highlighting New Labour's betrayal of the British working class and calling for all our politicians to break the habit of a lifetime and show some common sense. The author has taught English to asylum-seekers and foreign-language students, shared flats and houses with them, and even married one. He enjoys living in a multi-ethnic society; but argues that whilst 'multi-ethnic' is a good thing, 'multicultural' is not, and that cultural integration is the only way towards racial harmony. Appalled by the damage done to Britain, its people and its culture, one day he walked out of the classroom and (without benefits, supported only by his Polish wife and a credit card) wrote Feeling My Culture. If the American comedian Bill Hicks had been the product of a dysfunctional working class environment, he may well have sounded something like this. A brutally relevant read!

In penning this book, my aspiration is to offer solace to children globally grappling with the loss of a loved one, with a particular focus on those affected by the trauma of gun violence. The hearts of individuals perpetrating heinous acts often seem devoid of conscience and compassion. It is crucial to honor everyone's right to live without the constant fear of falling victim to those concealing their pain behind a firearm. My fervent hope is that love will prevail over hate in all circumstances.
Consider Moses the nomad and David the shepherd or perhaps Mary the alabaster seeker and Zacchaeus, the tax-collecting tree climber. Scripture is rich with broken and ordinary people who chose to follow Jesus even in the midst of less than ideal circumstances. The Bible is overflowing with disciples who chose Jesus through the Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays of their lives.When following Jesus there are seasons abundant in victories, but there are also seasons heavy with doubt and despair. An Ordinary Saturday is full of mistakes made and lessons learned by one of God¿s beloved daughters, all centered on Scripture to show that although we are broken, He makes us whole. Author Hailey Brianna made a lot of wrong turns but always ended up exactly where she needed to be because of God¿s grace and provision.There will always be moments in our lives when we¿re asked to wait on God in the desert. The question is, how do we respond when facing the gap between where we are and where we want to be? When all hope seems to wither, we must remember we worship the Giver of Hope, Jesus Christ. An Ordinary Saturday is an inspiring book that reminds readers to choose Jesus always and hold on to the hope God provides. During your walk with God, Sunday always comes, but that does not mean the rest of our days are wasted.
The Place Called "There"We often think that our possessions are only physical or material either as a car, building, piece of land or other tangible assets. Just as physical possessions can be handed down generations, so also can spiritual secrets and assets be transferred like intellectual properties.There are hidden secrets from plain sight, revealed to those who by reason of use, have their senses exercised (Hebrews 5:14) to see, or/and hear, and then act. To these ones, it will belong and be entrusted because they are the ones who follow through the hidden secrets presented to them.'The Place Called There' is a memoir of voyage of enduring faith and friendship with God, through 'the wildernesses' of advanced school of patience, trust, and perseverance (PTP).

Why did you choose to read this book description? Is it because of the cool cover? It's okay...we have all judged a book by its cover at one time or another. Or is it because the word Chaos completely describes your life right now? Or maybe, just maybe, you thought the author was awesome and decided this book would be a New York Times Bestseller? Probably not the last scenario. If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with that overwhelming stress weighing down on you. Reality is, there are many people in this world facing hard times: Anxiety, incarceration, loss, addiction, divorce, sickness, and I could go on, but I need this description to fit on the back of the book...How do we overcome these overwhelming times? Great question. I don't have all the right words, which probably isn't what you want to hear from an author. But I know Who does. His Name is Jesus. And He is the only One Who can bring unexplainable peace in the midst of your Chaos. Whether you are reading this behind prison bars, in the hospital room, at the funeral home, or on the awesome World Wide Web, I hope you choose to read this book. Chaos is inevitable. It comes like a thief in the night- stealing, killing, and destroying all we hold dear. But there is hope. Where the enemy comes to destroy, God comes to rebuild. He comes to restore. He comes to bring life and joy. This book isn't some self-help book. Nor is it an autobiography. It's a collaboration of real people experiencing real pain, learning how to overcome the overwhelming. Jesus isn't just the center of this book. He's the beginning, middle, and end. And spoiler alert: He always wins.

When I am old, would I be able to die when I want, legally? Would there be a problem, if we could set the groundwork in advance, so that at an old age we can die without pain and suffering...? Just as many wish to go to sleep and not to wake up again.Sometimes the thoughts of reaching the old age, being incapable, alone, without money, Alzheimer's and all other physical and mental ailments frighten me so much that the fear of floods, earthquakes, tornadoes and wars do not.Why? Because the old age is coming for all of us, women and men, black and white, poor and wealthy,... and when it comes, it is too late to think about it. Unless, every one of us has made preparations for it in advance.
