This booklet is a "in-a-nutshell" capsule or digest of a full-length book that reveals what must be done and how it is to be done in order to produce equity for Americans of African descent whose history in America has been uniquely and notoriously different from that of any other ethnic group of American citizens. It has been marked by 244 yeas of slavery, a century of legal segregation and the unparalleled denial of citizenship rights known in the history of civilization.
Americans of African descent can have an equal share of America's resources, opportuities, responsibilies and privileges that are bountifully enjoyed by other ethnic groups, especially Caucasian Americans.
While this booklet is primarily directed to black people who lack equity, it is addressed to all Americans, both black and white and other ethnic groups in America, all of whom have benefited, regardless as to when they came to America, especically economically, from the oppression and suppression of black people in America. But more importantly, it offers the prescriptions that Americ | |  | | God with Us
God is with us. Into his presence we come, not by leaving behind what are usually called earthly things; or by loving them less, but by living "more intensely in them, and loving more what is really lovable in them; for it is literally true that this world is everything to us, if only we live in the present because it is eternity." Real presence is real love.
This book can make an extraordinary difference in the way we perceive God, others, ourselves, and the world. Here is a guide for those who desire to have a meaningful relationship with God and experience his love. The unique role of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in God-man reconciliation and the ministry of the Holy Spirit to individuals are discussed simply and with clarity. Also presented is a day-by-day autobiographical account of the author's experience of living in the presence of God and the adttendant near-perpetual joy that he derives from it.

| |  | | Religion Par Excellence - Actualization of the 7-Storey Nature of Man
Man by nature is a religious being. He is also by nature a physical, mental, emotional, economic, social and political being. If a person is to be fulfilled, have meaning in his/her life and be happy, these seven elements must function in harmony. It is religion, more than any other element or all these other elements combined, that has the power to produce balance and affect personhood. Embracing Religion par excellence a person seizes the opportunity to pursue self- discovery, choose God who has already chosen him and obey God. Religion par excellence is a religion of transcendence that is rooted in truth, love and spirituality. It subscribes to no faith in particular such as Christianity, Judaism or Islam. But it is possible for a person to identify with any of these faiths, other faiths or none of the recognized faiths and be a practitioner of a Religion of transcendence. Even the atheist may be saved by faith. Indeed atheism may arise from one's commitment to know the truth. Religion par excellence is the vehicle that enables a person to move toward being what he was meant to be: a holistic being.
"What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties, in form in moving, how expressed and admirable; in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god; the beauty of the world; the paragon of animals! "
The secular experience of humanity during the last 2000 years, the internecine wars, the bloodshed, plunder and treachery, the general inhumanity of man to man has in almost every way served to confirm the...view of the natural depavity of man."

&nb | |  | | The Mutuality Warrior: The Person Best Prepared to Survive and Experience Meaning in Survival
How are we to live our lives reasonably safe from destructiveness without withdrawing or hiding to avoid things we fear and apparent danger? This book answers that question and demonstrates how a person can embrace the "Mutuality way of being" and increase his chance for survival and finding meaning, purpose and fulfillment in living.
The Mutuality Warrior subscribes to the Mutuality philosophy. In essence, Mutuality is the concept of man as a responsible being, with his own happiness as both the practical and ultimate purpose of his life, with creative expression as his noblest activity, and love as his only absolute. (Love is the good we do and it alone when well served is always good and right in every situation).
Even if the reader of this book does not commit himself/herself to becoming a Mutuality Warrior he/she will be richly benefited from reading this book and applying the seven Mutuality principles to his daily living. He will learn how to confront and manage destructiveness effectively and be a victor, not a victim.
I lift my right hand against destructiveness.
I extend my left hand in caring.
I raise my two hands in praise.
With my right hand I confront fear,
oppose greed, deflate egoism,
challenge laziness, disarm the abuser, expose the manipulator
and deprive the parasite.
These are seven destoryers of life.
With my left hand I administer
compassion, embrace intimacy,
engage in play, express uniqueness, bestow honor, inspire oneness and give all to love.
These are seven enhancers of life.
With my two hands I glorify God, enjoy salvation, maximize healt | |  | | The Saint Troubadour
