Fam'ly is a heartwarming family saga about the author's large family of seven children, whose parents married young, possessing only minimal skills and education during the Great Depression in this country, and their struggles to rise above their marginal existence. Although both of the writer's parents had been encouraged by their families to acquire skills before getting married, the couple believed they could obtain advanced skills and have a much better life after marrying by moving from their small South Carolina rural setting to Charlotte, North Carolina, a much bigger city.Fam'ly shares the story of the young black couple's struggles amid a backdrop of the Jim Crow and segregation era and a depressed economy to overcome adversity; to better their lives, their extended family members' lives as well as their children's lives; and to make sure all their seven children obtained a higher education so they could have a better quality of life than they had experienced.The narrative tells how the pair's tenacity, strong bonds of love and support from their immediate and extended families--some of whom had followed the Great Migration and moved to Northern cities such as Brooklyn and Bronx, New York--and love and faith in God helped them to overcome obstacles and accomplish goals in their lives.The story also shows that those you help or who help you do not have to be members of your immediate or extended families. They can be members of various family circles in your life, like church, work, or community families.Fam'ly highlights the efforts of an extended family--not just the immediate family--working together to help one another succeed. While the book does have its serious side, it is lighthearted, funny, informative, and entertaining but with a historical, factual, and real-life backdrop.
For many decades, science has followed a few well-accepted theories about the universe. There are many inconsistencies in these theories, and this book will introduce some new alternate concepts, which cannot be peer-reviewed, regarding the atom, gravity, time, the speed of light, and more. One major concept that we have been following for five centuries is one where our three-dimensional nature (which is changing continuously) is quantified through a mechanical, one-dimensional, static mathematic equation that does not recognize temperature or pressure. Traditionally, science has tried to predict how the universe functions by creating this modeling system for nature, but how can you possibly create an equation for nature, which is unique and ever-changing?Newton's theory of gravity has postulated that gravity is based on the mechanical weight of an object and is generated from the center of a planet, yet they cannot explain exactly what gravity is. We will show that the gravity of Earth, planets, and moons--in fact, the whole universe--is working with the temperature, pressure, and mass of an object on a molecular basis. Additionally, science has been following a standard modeling theory for an atom on a quantum mechanics level. Empirical evidence will show that an atom cannot be mechanical in nature or follow this man-made model.You will also be introduced to universal time, how time/space is relative, how science is wrong about the speed of light, the definition of three elements that are responsible for everything in the universe, and how the smallest unit of the universe was born and its journey to create heavier atoms. We will solve the mystery of the double-slit experiment as well as explain the character of space and the language of the universe. All this and more is described in easy-to-understand layman's terms.2
The perennial enigma the human mind has been encountering is the meaning of life and its place in the universe. On this subject, science and spirituality remained in discord with each other particularly for the last couple of centuries. The Theory of Relativity followed by quantum mechanics changed the worldview of traditional mindset altogether. The postulates of quantum physics paved the way for growing interest in philosophical spirituality. Theoretical physicist Fritjof Capra's book The Tao of Physics explored parallels between Eastern mysticism and modern science. Toshihiko Izutsu, in his book Sufism and Taoism, found similarities between Taoism and Muslim mysticism or Sufism. The book under review attempts to discover compatibility between Sufism and modern cosmology. It is basically a research book with more than seven hundred (700) citations of authorities of various disciplines, drawing from a vast array of diverse fields, such as physics, philosophy, biology, psychology and spirituality. The book probes into the nature and value of existence which ultimately leads to the direction of interconnection of the universe and human psyche; unity and integration of all things, and ultimately the unity of the whole universe and the whole person. These views are not placed on the shaky foundations of faith but they are based on philosophical logic and scientific facts--regarding importance of man as an observer in the universe, despite appearing insignificant on a point-like planet in the stunning vastness of empty space, and magnificent integration and harmony of the human psyche with the cosmos.These aspects of the book are unique in the sense that they amazingly reveal commonalities between physical and spiritual concepts and explain the phenomenon of existence as a compact whole in a coherent and logical sequence, with a glimpse of futuristic existence. This book may be of particular interest to the academia, research scholars, and students who may find the contents of the book unique and even startling.The author of the book is a research scholar from Pakistan who has been dedicated to exploring the reality of the physical world and human life. He has accentuated quite subtle and intricate issues in his book. His contribution to the relevant subject appears to have originality and, at times, remarkable distinction. The author believes that the contents of this book may not be found in any other single book published so far.
Can you imagine being deceived and manipulated by someone that supposed to have your best interest in mind? Can you imagine putting so much trust and faith in a person to the point he/she has been made an idol? Can you imagine being in a place where you thought you were serving God, but when the blinders come off in reality man was being served? Can you imagine belonging to a church that the leader has turned into a cult? I can. How could I be sitting under a false prophet in sheep's clothing (Matthew 7:15 KJV)? Why didn't I see the fruit of this leader (Matthew 7:16 KJV)? So many broken marriages, broken families, and adultery was the reputation of this ministry. When my eyes were opened to the truth, I knew it was time to get out. That's when it seemed my whole world was turned upside down. It felt as though I was fighting for my life. I began to get ostracized, criticized, talked about, gaslighted, mentally abused, emotionally abused, and this leader had subtle divided my home. I had to hold on to God for dear life. O Lord, could I overcome this brokenness? O Lord, could I overcome this deceitfulness?

George Santayana stated: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."The best example of a country, from beginning to end, is Israel's history as told in the Bible. Because they did not follow God's commandments, they eventually lost their country for over two thousand years.This book examines Israel's history and compares it to what we are doing in America today. There are several sins we are practicing today in America that are the same as Israel's. I list some of the sins we are practicing today and the Bible's condemnation of those sins. Not only do we need to change as individuals but also as a government or we will find ourselves beyond the tipping point.Israel has God's promise to bring them back in the latter days. We do not have that promise, so once we are gone, there is no returning.See some of the steps in this book we can take to insure our survival and God's blessing on us.

A young child that grew up in a dysfunctional household reflects on his life which began with a huge life crisis at four years old. His environment was filled with so many negative aspects that never sat well with him, but he had to push through a bad start to life. As the first child for two teen parents, there were many things that should have happened that didn't, but the right people were always around to assist this young man along his journey. He always knew that he would be someone in life even though he came coming from nothing and never backed down from that challenge. He viewed his childhood as a prison sentence that had a release date on the same day that he would graduate high school. Dealing with so many hectic situations was a challenge, but he never allowed the elements to detour him from the vision that he maintained. He dealt with the conditions to earn his diploma knowing everything from that point on would fall solely on him. As a product of a single-parent household that was never the best relationship, he adapted to the conditions by leaning heavily on himself knowing he desired to operate completely differently from most of the people that he had to deal with regularly. The chaos that he saw earlier in life was always motivation to become a better person. He took a chance with seeing what the US Army had to offer and gained life changing exposures. The structure and formalities were much easier to deal with compared to the pandemonium that he was forced to deal with at one point. While having lunch one day, he ran into a very interesting child that he would watch grow up. The child is dealing with a hectic environment as well which is the perfect opportunity for him to intervene since he didn't have a male figure that could. He didn't have anyone in his corner, but he could use those experience to change the conditions for someone else. He made sure to share the valuable life experiences that came from several failures which are the best teachers that a person can have. Honestly, there are no failures or losses in life but rather life lessons. As the young man grew, he never changed his perspective which caused a strain on their relationship. The two parties would mutually agree to terminate their relationship permanently after creating countless memories together. Running From Nothing is a story about facing life issues because they don't go away until you solve them. You can run from them, but they will remain in the same place until they are resolved. You can fix any issue that you truly want to overcome when you push pass your fears and concerns. Once you fully grasp this mentality, it'll transform you into a new person. Change will only come when a person gets tired of their conditions and puts in an honest effort to influence the changes that they desire. You must come out of the darkness to shine just like the front cover illustration shows.
