Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching. In her first book People of God - One and All: Saints and Sinners, different aspects of being a saint and a sinner were explored. In both parts of this new anthology, the poetry includes a variety of topics for meditation and self- reflection. In People of God-One and All: Come and Be…, Part 1 she explores the concepts of grace, relationships, and sacred struggles. In Part 2 she explores this through the wonder of God, the production of fruits evolving through faith, and how to be bold in faith. Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out one's faith. Scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on one's faith and how to mature oneself and share faith with others.In retirement, she quilts with many being made for philanthropy projects locally and around the world. Additionally, she reads, does genealogy, and actively participates in church activities.

The stories in the book may have happened to you. Of course, we have different ages of involvement at different places. I know you will enjoy the book and share it with others. Enjoy Life, Jerry L. Fitzgerald

King Midas - the legend says - transformed everything he touched into gold. Theodor Damian transforms everything he touches into poetry. Sequences from street life, landscapes, people's gestures, usually looked upon as banalities, disclose, under his eye, their beauty. Other contemporary authors make poetry out of poetry. Theodor Damian makes poetry out of daily reality. The blase man of the twenty first century has a lot to learn from this book. Reading it one can rediscover the joy of life. It is a resurrection exercise.Alex Stefanescu This is an exceptional book, a synthesis of the poet's lyric and philosophical vision on how the impossible looses its limits when it is immersed in prayer. In Damian's poetry the "I" of the lyrical and the "I" of metaphysical reflection complement each other in total harmony and become definitory for the poet's work when they meet in the profound dimensions of Christian spirituality. Prayers in Hell represents an editorial event of utmost importance in the landscape so arid and so repetitive of our contemporary poetry.M. N. Rusu

Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching.

Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out one's faith. In all the books, scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on one's faith and how to mature oneself in the faith realm and share it with others.In retirement, she quilts with many being sewn for philanthropy projects locally and around the world.

This volume is part one of three volumes. I believe this book conveys a mandatory message for the believer through biblical analysis of the principles that faith is TAUGHT and faith is CAUGHT. You must first understand that the blessings you long for and have yet to receive exist in spirit form (Eph. 1:3). Wrap your mind around this truth!! Your blessings exist, but you can't see them in the natural. They aren't visible! There is a process that must be initiated by a deliberate engagement in order to receive the manifestation and tangible possession of what exists for you in spirit form. Your life is bigger than the level you're living on. It feels like you're suffocating, but "YOU SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE." Spiritual warfare isn't a choice. Learn how to use your faith in this dimension in this new season and live. "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall LIVE by faith" (Rom. 1:17).

Like Leopold Bloom, James Joyce's protagonist in the epic Ulysses, Kavanagh's life is inconveniently influenced by his relationships with women. Bloom's appointments and encounters on that single day in Dublin (June 16, 1904) is an unfortunate model for Kavanagh's life in the 21st Century as a dynamic seeker of passion and intimacy with the women he finds desirable. Kavanagh and Bloom are Irish Jews, decedents of the members of small migrations from Eastern Europe that somehow found their way to Ireland, the most Catholic nation where they were welcome and lived peacefully and prospered. Kavanagh's odyssey to find enjoyment and pleasure, centers on his time with second wife Millicent the sophisticated literary agent and lawyer, the long affair with Bianca, and his deep feelings for the beautiful, elusive and mysterious Lydia who haunts his dreams. Kavanagh's instant attraction to Ciara the lovely Irish physician, and the puzzling relationship with Mary Lucy, a university president and Catholic nun, confuse and confound him. Somehow Kavanagh has successfully maintained his equilibrium as a popular professor, bestselling author, activist, atheist and acceptable parent, but he worries, for how much longer? Kavanagh isn't Everyman, although he's more like us than we want to acknowledge.

Two boys grow up during World War II, Gerard in New England, Morgen in Berlin. They live parallel lives: their families experience similar changes, similar suffering. The world says they are enemies. What makes an enemy? Why are people designated as enemies? If these two later met, what would they think of each other?WWII and the Hitler’s elimination of the undesirables alter the daily lives of both boys immeasurably. Morgen’s father, a pacifist doctor, deserts his own troops and escapes with a Viennese friend, himself a marked man. The parallel situations of the two boys and their families balance the two sides of the war. We see, not the propaganda, but the real effects the war had on civilians in both countries. We also see the ‘forgotten’ undesirables such as Gypsies, homosexuals, blacks and Japanese-Americans. Woven into all these lives is the quest for sanity and freedom from hatred.

A story of endurance against the odds. There is a dearth of literature by disabled, working-class authors. This is the account of an autistic author, though one gifted with literary ability. Lucien Bracquemont is eager to share his story, to help others understand the realities and issues facing those on the autistic spectrum, and to provide a voice for others on the spectrum. He has had much contact with the mentally and otherwise challenged members of the community. This work is emotionally charged in places and transparent, with a message of hope and understanding.
