I will recommend this most helpful volume to many of my clients. A counselor in private practice for over twenty years. When I arrived at the prison, I had to pass through numerous locked gates on my way to the hospital. How strange and intimidating it felt to hear yet another door lock behind me as we went into the depths of the prison. I couldnt help but feel a twinge of fear as the guards took us past scummy looking men hanging out in the hallways. Finally, we came to my fathers room and I could see him through the open door. He was lying in his bed gazing at the ceiling and his face was shining! He hadnt noticed that I had come, so I stood enraptured, wondering at the change in my Daddys countenance. While I was at the prison, I had a chance to talk alone with the prison doctor, and was encouraged by his comments as well. Your dads story needs to be told, he said to me. He is truly a changed man. Other people need to know that God can change anybody, even child molesters. There are many people inside these locked doors, and outside in the world, who have lost hope that God would do anything for them. Your fathers changed life is a testimony of Gods faithfulness to any sinner who chooses to repent.

According to author David E Cooper, God has sent prophets in very generation to help the people in times of trouble. But many dont listen and live the way they desire instead of following Gods desire for them. In The Prophet of God, Cooper calls on everyone to be aware of what is to come and reminds them that now is the time to repent and go back to the Heavenly Father. When we go through life, we want peace and happiness. The only way to live in peace and happiness is in Jesus. To live clean and holy for God, to see that God keeps you and your family and that you trust in God. You either serve God or Satan. There is no neutral ground. You cant live like your friends live. You have to live the Ten Commandments and read the Bible and pray, says the author. The Prophet of God follows Coopers life experiences interspersed with Biblical scriptures that will provide you with insight on what God wants for His people. The Bible tells about demons, how they try to manipulate and calls men to sin. The author warns everyone about how demons can come in disguise and trick people into committing sin. He emphasizes the need to rejuvenate ones faith, and to choose between life and death. If you serve God, your reward is life. If you serve the devil, your reward is death and hell

The Black Conservative: An American Hero By Richard Jules Valvano Can a powerful piece of fiction undo the negative stereotyping cast on a group of individuals and make them noble and heroic? In this riveting and explosive novel, the author is betting it will. For years, the black left has cast politically conservative African-Americans as insensitive traitors to the Civil Rights Movement. They are seen as unhinged thinkers who dare to question liberal conventional wisdom concerning black matters and issues. They are often depicted as “Uncle Toms” and whites in dark skin who actually want blacks to be passive porters, shoe-shiners and doormats in a white society. The Black Conservative: An American Hero not only challenges these stereotypes, it does it by way of an engaging thriller filled with fascinating characters. The entire effect is meant to give black conservatives a human element, an insight into their thinking, and a culmination of a renewed and invigorating image of them.
