Could It Be? focuses on twelve biblical passages. Most of them have beendenigrated or disregarded, either by those who want nothing to do with organized religion or by others who claim to be genuinely Christian. The author reclaims those discarded gems, proclaims those stories as relevant, countermands erroneous interpretations, and counteracts the results of misinformation about their meaning and purpose.The book is designed to stir the status quo and begins the stirring process by reexamining old passages from a new approach. Its author believes the only road leading to intellectual and spiritual growth runs through the crowded and musty city of "Old Ideas" and winds through the treacherous valley of "New Possibilities." That is the basic outline for every chapter in this book. Each chapter identifies problematical interpretations of some ingrained religious ideas and offers new possibilities that enrich Christian living. Biblical requirements considered impossible to follow are interpreted as very doable. The uppermost question for each reader to keep in mind is, "Could it be this passage is very different than I originally thought?"Throughout the book, the author repeatedly affirms God is at work in common places, events, and things. Biblical stories about personal deliverance and radical change were frequently facilitated by something quite ordinary. What we called a miracle was often an ordinary act for God. If that is how God works, he regularly offers "miracles" to everyone, not just to special people in special situations. These passages about miracles, admonitions, and probing questions are prototypes of the human condition, making them extremely relevant because they are "OUR STORY" too.

COCOA WOMAN: a narrative about cocoa estate culture in the British West Indies speaks to the discomfort, the pain, the suffering, and what a young man now speculates to be the abuse he endured while spending weekends and school vacations on his godmother's cocoa plantation. In retrospect, it was nothing short of child slave labor. He feels that he stomached "slave labor" just because he received a morsel to eat. The abuse was more than just physical. Unknowingly, he also suffered psychological abuse.Against the background of colonial domination and exploitation in Trinidad and Tobago, this book is poignant, direct, and to the point. It unleashes the spirit of the cocoa field, and fully exposes the daily menial rounds of production, the never-ending chores, language idioms, village bacchanal, beliefs, cuisine, artefacts, folkways, and foibles that intertwined to constitute cocoa estate culture in Trinidad.

Barack Obama ran for President on the slogan "hope and change." He was a salesman. He was an orator. He was a Democrat. He was very charismatic. He was gay. He was Muslim. And, he was a Marxist. Yet America voted for what they thought was the first black, educated, easy-to-look-at man with a family that no one questioned, and he became President of the United States. Under his reign, more of our citizenry became unemployed and on welfare. He could not, or would not, work with Congress, and when he could not get his way, instead of attempting to negotiate, he would return to his office and write an Executive Order. He did his best to take away America's Second Amendment rights. If it were not for the Second Amendment, Obama would have taken away and destroyed all guns in the hands of the American man. Obama has always voted on a woman's right to slay her unborn fetus; even when a fetus is born alive, it must die. An unborn child has no rights - no one to represent its interest. Under the Obama Presidency, America became the United Socialist States of America.

I was fortunate enough to have my great-grandmother and Father teach me how to pray as a child. My early experiences with prayer helped me to develop a successful prayer life. As a teenager, I spent late nights in worship, developing Zeel in prayer. The triumph, accomplishment, and expertise have inspired me to write this book.
