To be his fourth publication to the Christendom, this book addresses the individual woman, a topic badly needed to be addressed. No one has taken the time to explore the various roles of a woman as she moves up in God's hierarchy. But this book begins the trend to look at that women failures are due to her roles. The failure to apply the roles to one's life will cause a breakdown in the individual, her marriage, her family, and her church. All four of these entities are connected by the common thread-role. We talk about the roles of actors and actresses but never about the roles of a woman that God had assigned her. If women will do the basic roles of a woman, our homes, employments, societies, and churches would be a better place fostering love, faith, and hope.Moreover, this book on the roles of a woman precedes his next book, The Roles of the Child. The woman's and the child's roles are meaningless if the man's roles are not in place. The author hopes to share with you the roles he and his wife have found to be very beneficial and a must in all men's and women's lives.

The child's visit reveals the persistent family and community rivalries that drove his grandfather into exile. The Fisher King—a moving story of jazz, love, family conflict, and the artists' struggles in society—offers hope in the healing and redemptive power of one memorable boy.
