Find Me: Stories by Bruce F. Kawin collects eight tales ranging in length from two pages to nearly a hundred, some strange and some comforting. "Terse and yet opulent, these stories are a revelation of language in action" (David E. James).

The Revelation of a Mystery is a text and workbook that teaches the relevance of the book of Romans to life today. The epistle of Romans is the most comprehensive teaching of Christian doctrine. To everyone who thinks the Bible is outdated, the Holy Scriptures are just as relevant today as they were when God first gave them to mankind. While our means of travel, way of living, and technology changes, human nature does not change. Murder is still murder, stealing is still stealing, lying is still lying, and sexual immorality is still sexual immorality. Our society has disregarded this fact; therefore, it has been plagued by social ills that have been leading us down destructive paths and bringing us sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and AIDS, abortion, greed, hatred, and violence. The only way to overcome these social ills and live a life of victory is through the Lord Jesus Christ and His teaching.The Apostle Paul was God's chosen vessel to bring to the world a written record of His plan of salvation for the world. When the Apostle finished this epistle, he ended it with this verse: "Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began . . . " (Romans 16:25 KJV). God's plan of salvation for the world is fully revealed. The Old Testament prophets taught it, the Lord Jesus Christ brought it, and the Holy Spirit is sent to complete it.- Justification by faith in the Messiah - Salvation and its benefits - The outpouring of the Holy Spirit - Empowered to walk in the Spirit - Victory over sinful flesh and death.

In The Blossoming of the World, Brian H. Peterson-author of the critically acclaimed The Smile at the Heart of Things-picks up both pen and camera and journeys to the deep end of life. Along the way he confronts some painful contradictions-beauty and violence, love and grief-and reflects on illness, family, death, dreams, epiphanies, and the birth of self-awareness. More storyteller than philosopher, Peterson struggles to reconcile his Christian faith with his love of science, creativity, and spirituality in all its manifestations.

The writings in this book are mirrored to the first book except on a more mature level. He wrote about his wife, Teresa, and how she tolerated his habits. Although she witnessed all of what alcohol and drugs did to him, they were never divorced. She just tolerated him - JUST BECAUSE. Her love saved him from sin. He knew the power of women, too, on how they need men. Gregory knew what these habits would do to him physically, but until he met the Lord, they had control over him. He loved music and always told me Kris Kristopherson stole one of the songs he wrote. Romance and love were inseparable. You couldn't have one without the other. That romance and love permeated through everything Gregory did. Gregory was close to our Native Americans and their sacred land. Once I met Francis Eagle Tail, Jr., a good friend of his from Minnesota.It took Gregory 38 years to get to the life he wanted. His drinking and drugs, on the good side, prompted him to put the pencil to the paper and was able to express to the world of where they should go - to the Lord to be saved.Gregory was ready to dance. In my opinion, that was just another way of Gregory saying and wanting all people to follow the Lord who is full of love, laughter, and tolerance. Rose Sieverding

Blessed by the Grace of God is about how the Lord has always been by my side even when I took a wrong turn in life. He never gave up on me. I have always loved God but didn't give him the devotion he deserved. He was patient with me and must have known that I would come around sooner or later. God has blessed me so many times and his blessings continue. I am now fully devoted to the Lord. No matter what we do, God loves us more than we will ever know. I wrote this book because, no matter what I did in the past, God still loves me, and wants me to learn from my mistakes, and most of all He will always be there for me.

This is a well-orchestrated prose-work, fiction. Although events in the narratives are mirrored to reflect real life occurrences. It is a tragic story. A tale of struggles, hardship, fortune, survival and death. The Book has fifteen chapters in total running into 108 pages with intriguing starting ending narratives which qualifies the story as comical tragedy.It touches on some cultural demeanors of people from certain tribes in Africa (Nigeria as a focus) where extra-marital affair is silently prevalent despite legality to engage in polygamy. The book: Helpmate muckrakes the evil of broken-homes and parental negligence on young adults. The strenuous roles of fending for self as a child and taking up the responsibility of an adult in the process of survival is pivotal incident within the pages.Man's love for beast is not always without the influence of what they could produce. This statement is justified by the roles the Dog: 'Riro' plays on Dara's path to fulfillment. These unique roles have usually been sanctioned to be the reason why many pet-owners (especially in Africa) own their Dogs and cater for them and not really because of unaligning love for these animals. The story justifies this more with the dramatic risk of life efforts 'Riro' (the Dog) had to make to preserve Dara's life whle the Dog owner-Dara could not be said to attempt similar efforts to the turn of substituting his own life to rescue the Dog when her own (the Dog's) critical situation beckoned. We dream, we hope, we expect with longings in life, but we do not know what tomorrow holds. This is explained by the unexpected and sudden end of Riro. For this sudden and unexpected end of Dara's lover bring him back to a zero level of fulfillment, bruising his desires like the impact of the sun upon a fallen leave...

This book is about the missing gospel, that portion of the gospel the church has lost sight of; the biblical gospel currently not being taught or preached.It's about hope found in Scripture but missing today. Heaven's purpose, the joys we will know there, and the glorious future arriving soon. Salvation's final chapter, written by God and disclosed in Scripture. It's about the uniqueness of Jesus, what He's done for us, and what He will ultimately do for God. The joy that was set before Him that enabled Him to endure the cross. And hell's possibilities now that "the gates of hell cannot prevail against us".It's about God's purpose in making us "one with Jesus" and the power of prayer to make us "fellow heirs with him of all things". It's about life when "God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven", our service in the coming kingdom and those we will serve. Discovering this missing hope alerts us to the dangers in the counterfeit gospels popular today. You will see that even if we were to gain the whole world, it would not compare to "life after heaven".

This compilation includes writings from 2011 to 2023 from which nearly half of the writings between 2011 and 2018 were not included and are no longer with us.

Matters of the heart led her down a path of destructive behavior, and she found herself facing teenage pregnancy. With love and compassion, Pastor Carolyn Ricks candidly shares her unhindered journey of how she beat the odds and how, as a mother of five, she became a homeowner by the age of 25, later found her identity in Christ, and then the love of her life, Apostle Jullian Ricks. Life After Adoption is a testament to God's love and how His hands guide our existence. This autobiography is essential reading for anyone who has ever fought to figure out where they belong.
