This off-beat anthology will entice both poetry lovers and haters, as well as the noncommitted. As with a train wreck, you won't be able to divert your eyes. You may never think the same of poems ever again. Enjoy.

I have felt for many years that there have perhaps never been a 75 to 100 years that have seen so much progress and change, both for good and bad. Life has always been mixed with both good times and bad times, and so it will until the Lord returns. But this type of good and bad is not what I am writing about. In the horse and buggy era and early years of the car, there were a lot of hard times: poverty, sickness, and epidemics, but by and large, the moral fiber of most people was much better than now. There are many things to blame, but the sad part of this is that I believe the Christians are the most to blame for not getting involved. The scapegoat idea: it's all in the Lord's hands, we don't have to worry or do anything. In the meantime, much has happened because of the ACLU, our court system, the pressure of the entertainment world and the Democratic party, and too many Republicans voting wrong. It is already illegal for the kids to pray in school or even take their Bible to school. They are trying to get "In God We Trust" off our money and take for God and Country out of the Pledge of Allegiance However, I feel there is a trend now of thinking seriously about God and morals and hard work, and there will have to be if this world is going to last. So I am dedicating this to my nine children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and anyone who reads it that it will help them see what a change has taken place in the 1900's and that it might help them on the road of life, plus hopefully bring some enjoyment.

This book is definitely a book on prophecy. It starts with the church age and ends with an understanding of the millennium. It is not intended to be an in-depth study of any of the topics covered. However, the writer believes the reader will come away with his appetite for more in-depth study of many of the topics, topics that are not often dealt with to the satisfaction of the reader. Topics such as: the resurrected body dress transformation of the saints seven years in heaven (I cant wait) the throne worship and fellowship The chapter on the seventy-five days is so exciting. Have you ever thought about ruling and reigning with King Jesus? There are some things that have to happen between now and the Rapture. Perhaps both the Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 and 39 wars will take place. It is so interesting to try to place these wars with all thats taking place in the world today. Then there is the millennium, when the saints will rule and reign with King Jesus for one thousand years. Hallelujah, I cant wait!

The continued story, that is full of intimate details and struggles of my life are exposed. I understand that everyone has a story to tell, but this is different. My first release, “A Cry for Justice”, wasn’t the half of it. People write a single book and leave it at that, I have written my second book and I am thrilled to share with you, the reader, the many lessons I have had in my search for truth and understanding. Can one man really be finished with a story about his life? Doesn’t life keep going and become stable, eventually? Well you be the judge of that, in your own heart, after reading this next release. You will be entertained and relieved that people do have it easier than others and the level of learning is different. The often said, “Been there done that”, will have a new meaning.

From Then until Now: Short Memoirs of Eight African American Savannahians is a collection of personal stories that tell the life journeys of eight African American men born in Savannah, Georgia. These men write about their humble beginnings and how they experienced the challenges of growing up in the Jim Crow South, living in nurturing neighborhoods, developing a strong spiritual foundation, and having excellent caring teachers and mentors who encouraged them to "aim high in life." This collection of short memoirs will inspire readers, especially young readers, to know that it is not where or how you start that determines where you end up but a commitment to the slogan "You can make it if you try."

This book was written by me, Maurice C. Wright, as a way of sharing some of the many memories, tidbits, and other recollections that have been in my mind for many years. Through this book, I am passing these on to family, friends, and others that may be interested in reading these stories. Each memory, tidbit, and other recollection has been written to stand alone or to be read as an entire book. Therefore, the reader will find a repeat of information in multiple stories as that information is pertinent to each. Praise be to God for the many memories, tidbits, and other recollections that I am sharing through this book and for the many other stories that are still in my mind and have not been reduced to written form.

A collection of life's memories written in poems.

This book is an accumulation of poetry from the age of 15 to 51. It is my ups and downs, my highs and lows, my happiness and sadness. There were many years nothing was written. It is hard for me to write when there is nothing to say and still write it well. At 23, I was in a horrifying car accident, in which I almost lost my daughter and myself. I had to grow up again and learn again. It was a painstaking process. Thirteen years later, I came down with bacterial spinal meningitis. The terrifying pain in my brain made me want to die, and although I asked God to take me, I finally realized that He had a different road for me to take. Now I want to be and do the best I can, no matter the road Im on. I write because I love to write. I write because there is a story to tell that maybe someone may learn from, that maybe a situation can be changed for the better, that all is not lost, at least not forever, and the days will get brighter, for with motivation and perspiration, we can move mountains. That God is always with us, that He carries us in his arms, watches us grow, and wants us to mature into loving people, for with love there is everything.

I am living a great life, Autobiography and Adventures of a Nobody gives insight into why I feel the way I do. Although it does not contain all my life and adventures it pretty well describes what I went through growing up and also what I am still going through as an adult. Although I have hit some bumps along the way, most of my lilfe has been smooth sailing. My God, Country and family have taught me to stand up straight and face what ever comes along. I believe wholeheartedly that the above tree ingredients will make the weak strong and the strong stronger. There is no shady area between right and wrong, you're either one or the other.
