Feat Songs of Protest and National Pride is a classic epic poem that reveals the struggles and triumphs of the African American experience. It depicts in metaphoric and literary language the power of unity and collective faith, labor and partnerships that forged a new America at least in terms of the understanding that African Americans along with sympathizers and colaborers of their struggle to obtain freedom and equality would not allow such mistreatment of those who were a part of the fabric of this country. Feat Songs inserts historical names and events indigenous to the struggle of African Americans and seeks to not only protest the abuse and atrocities that held this country in the grips of one of its darkest hours, but to celebrate and hail that period in history as a testament to the collective strength and will of people who refuse to be passive in times that history calls for change. Feat is an anthem of conquest and victory for all who endeavor to be change agents rather than spectators in the arena of life.

Worship is the divine love affair. Where there is true worship, God is our endearing focus. We don't have to hide, pretend, impress, or be anyone or anything other than who we are in his grace. Breakthrough Worship leads the reader through a biblical perspective of the worship of God and how it benefits our spiritual lives and well being. And how the heart that hungers and thirsts for God will be filled with divine joy that embraces every challenge with a new faith and determination because the fruit of God's love is stronger than the fears we face in life. Worship gives us the perspective that there isn't anything or anyone in life greater than God and thus there isn't anything or anyone worthy of our absolute worship, except God.

Sleep, Dream, Become: Understanding the World You Dream is based on the author's independent study of dreams over forty years and is the companion guide to course studies in the Prophetic Path Dream Summit: A Course in Dreams, It is intended to aid dreamers and those studying the life of dreams and their relationship to the real world. It contains more than 300 concepts birthed out of the author's independent study and personal experience with the dream phenomenon to help shape, define and negotiate the complex journey of understanding the prophetic nature of dreams and how to apply them to our realities. This study is the product of the author's own gift to see and interpret dreams, but is not a "dream bible" as everyone's dream experience is different; rather, it is a dream guide to aid those with the gift of dreams across the Rubicon from here to there and from there back.

In her epic poem, I Waltzed with God the Morning or Genesis: Witness to the Day When We Were One, author, Doris Wellington takes readers on an allegorical journey that expresses her belief that all humans are brothers and sisters by the magnificent plan of God who chose to show the beauty of diversity in everything that exists in humans, animals, and nature; that what we experience in hatred against each other flows from the design of the human will to choose at any given time whether to love or hate, and whether the gifts bestowed upon each of us will be used for good or evil. She further expresses that ultimately we have been given the ability and the responsibility to make this a better world through our highest convictions to seek peace and unity among those who believe in the power of the human heart to transform the world.

Prayer is a universal religious ritual and is offered in every language around the world to one deity or another. Simply put, prayer is talking to God or gods. And depending on the maharishi you're listening to; prayer is also God talking back. I've come to understand that without this faith principle I could not in any way succeed at Christianity. For me there has to be the inept belief that if I believe God exists; he cannot be less qualified to speak or listen than I am. He must not only be infinitely qualified to be God; he must be infinitely wiser and sensitive toward those of us who not only believe that God hears our prayers, but that he answers them. And of all the reasons we give for praying, the need for human interaction with something or someone greater than mere mortals ranks number one for me. Prayer 101 lists a litany of reasons we as humans lift up our faith to God in prayer; and particularly Christians believers. My belief is embodied in the narratives of the Gospel writers and their recorded relationship with Christ, which unfolds how he prayed, what he prayed for, who he prayed to and under what circumstances he prayed. In this experience of shadowing the relationship between Christ and his disciples, I also see what Christ taught about prayer and its power to transform lives, even situations sometimes deemed impossible through our eyes. It is in this context of faith and its relationship to prayer that I offer Prayer 101 in the hope that the life of someone reading these few pages will be transformed into a volume of evidentiary encounters with the God who hears and answers prayer.

Hung by the Lips speaks to the detriments of an unruly tongue in the life of a Christian. Because the tongue is the instrument God uses to activate and articulate the Gospel and his will to the body of Christ, it is essential to our prayer lives and spiritual growth. If we desire after the things of God, we will give strict attention to how we engage our tongues in conversation and communication that are contrary to our Christian professions. As Proverbs 18:21 points out, the tongue has the power to bless and curse, to be positive and negative, and to speak life and death. To safeguard our prayers and our spiritual growth, we are admonished in Psalm 34:13 to "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile."

Most believers fail at victorious Christianity because they have not effectively studied the weapons the enemy uses to sabotage faith and forward mobility. Typically, we wait until the enemy has us in a chokehold before we realize that we're under attack. But in order to be successful at winning in life or in spiritual warfare, we must understand the devices of our adversaries and be ready with offensive strategies to scatter their plans. Behind Enemy Lines reveals tactical weapons of spiritual warfare that position every believer to launch preemptive strategies against the enemy; thereby. claiming, and reclaiming the victories we're entitled to in our walk with Christ, which we often relinquish because we assume that confessing salvation is enough to keep the devil off our track and out of our business. However, many well meaning Christians live in the alternate reality that God is somehow going to do the very thing that he has given us the power and the purpose to perform. I believe God's expectations of is to take the gifts that he has granted and to apply them to the full extent of their potential to defeat every obstacle against our faith. Behind Enemy Lines offers strategies to assist us in doing just that.

In her compelling work, The Autobiography of Poverty: My Childhood in Poem, author, Doris Wellington interweaves graphic poetic narratives that open the portal to a symphonic expose in which those least expected battle and overcome the crucibles of poverty-one of the most devastating of all human experiences. Dramatic literary language extracts from the severity of her childhood reality and invites readers into a world of transparent vulnerabilities, challenges, and distresses.She is not afraid to confront what some attempt to paint and pass off as an irreversible affliction that disfigures an otherwise perfect society. However, the author points out that it is not the poor who are the stain on society; rather those who close their eyes, pull down their shutters in hopes that the poor will go away-forgetting that when we turn a deaf ear or a cold heart against human suffering-whatever the plight, we have become the affliction among the afflicted we hate-the evil that stains society with indifference. With her mother as her guiding force she reveals how she was taught to use faith in God and dreams with wings to overcome the perils of poverty and all of its pathogenic matter. And to understand without reservation that you might live among the relics and rituals of poverty, but you do not have to breath in its content as your stationary place in life. You can dream and achieve a better life if you don't give up working to that end.
