Robins, in a carefully hidden nest, are not safe from the knowledge of serpents. Neither are they safe from falcons. Whatever the case, we make the choice. Either the nest is made too low for serpents to reach, or the birds are high enough to be noticed by falcons. Bonny, Yogesh, and Ray were the three robins in the City of Constantia. Bonny Deut died fourteen years later, in the back of the truck, trying to get back to the humble Province of Ignorance. His elder son, Yogesh, pined away in a mental institution in the City of Constantia. Ray got away. Were Bonny and Yogesh responsible for their fates? How did Ray escape the falcons?

We all face hardships and we share many common struggles in our day-to-day lives, but what is it that gets us through those trying times? Faith, hope and love, especially love, can move us through challenging circumstances. Faith and hope encourage us while love of God, love of our neighbor, even love of ourselves allows Gods light to penetrate dark situations. Praising God in those difficult moments, as well as when things are going well, demonstrates our faith and hope in things yet unseen, and honoring Him with words of thanksgiving and devotion takes our focus off ourselves and ushers in the redemptive power of Gods grace. The poems in Because of Him seek to communicate, in a truly relatable manner, an enthusiastic appreciation and love of God and the demonstration of his presence in our everyday lives.

As the author of this book I am wanting to share with those who will read and ponder on how their relationship with God can be enriched. God loves us beyond our imagination, or our understanding. My desire is also for people to realize God wants us to willingly love Him, through our praises and worship unto Him. I want to stir their heart and spirit and to gain a hunger and thirst of their own to lift up their hearts to God in a new relationship.

Prayer and Praises are significant part of Christianity and in Christendom since the very beginning of time on the subject of relationship with God. Take the spiritual vitamin because when life gets rough the rough gets life, but when you pray and praise you will overcome and overtake whatever comes your way. The mountain can be moved with prayer and praises by faith in the Lord. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! Jesus had overcome the world.” He has done His part, do your part by serving, praying and praising the Lord God Almighty. He hears us when we pray and praise; He knows us inside out and outside in. This book will help you very greatly in your relationship with God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We all have an animal story—the pet we loved, the wild animal that captured our childhood imagination, the deer the neighbor hit while driving. While scientific breakthroughs in animal cognition, the effects of global climate change and dwindling animal habitats, and the exploding interdisciplinary field of animal studies have complicated things, such stories remain a part of how we tell the story of being human. Animal Acts collects eleven exciting, provocative, and moving stories by solo performers, accompanied by commentary that places the works in a broader context. Work by leading theater artists Holly Hughes, Rachel Rosenthal, Deke Weaver, Carmelita Tropicana, and others joins commentary by major scholars including Donna Haraway, Jane Desmond, Jill Dolan, and Nigel Rothfels. Una Chaudhuri’s introduction provides a vital foundation for understanding and appreciating the intersection of animal studies and performance. The anthology foregrounds questions of race, gender, sexuality, class, nation, and other issues central to the human project within the discourse of the “post human,” and will appeal to readers interested in solo performance, animal studies, gender studies, performance studies, and environmental studies.
