The world that we live in is much different than it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Long gone are the days of people trying to be self-sufficient using garden tools on land passed down through generations.

This is the age of technology, advertising, and self-actualization.Jeremy Alexander Duhart lays out some of the characteristics of this post-modern age in poems like "Marketer" and "Simulacrum." Other pieces reflect on the nature of people living in this time period such as "Worry" and "Distracted." Everyone will be able to identify with one of these poems through familiarity or entertainment. Post-Modern Poetry is a gateway for new topics to explore and old ones to discover.About the AuthorJeremy Alexander Duhart holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in sociology from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He has been writing poetry for a couple of years. His education combined with a natural curiosity and a love for writing and music allows him to put some of his knowledge into prose. He is an avid listener of podcasts and reader of internet articles and books. His natural curiosity leads him to research various topics that he finds interesting. As a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, Duhart is a southern city boy with a love for writing and poetry.

Author William D. Waites says that during the time of revival in the middle and late seventies, the Lord in His way chose to bestow upon him this gift of writing Christian poetry. He simply writes down what the Holy Spirit tells him and that the Holy Spirit is the author. They are given to him anytime and in detail.These poems have been given to him for people, to reflect on in the choir loft or even riding down the road after hearing a sermon. Waites hopes that as An Inspired Book of Poems is read, the readers will get the message that God is sending.About the AuthorWilliam D. Waites was born on September 5, 1938 in Alexander City, Alabama. His parents were William and Eloise Funderburk Waites. He had an older sister, Hilda, who died when she was fourteen. He attended school locally and graduated in 1956, playing many sports but excelling in football. His greatest disappointment was losing his scholarship to Alabama because they found out he wore contact lenses. He lied and joined the National Guard when he was sixteen in 1954, which led to him joining the Navy in 1956. He served in California, Washington D.C., and Morocco in North Africa. He had an eight year obligation which he served and was discharged in 1962. Waites said he was proud to have served his country. The next six years were spent working here and there, moving a lot, and were thought of by Waites as a total waste. In 1968 he started working at a local furniture store, which was part of Skinner Corp, a chain in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. This is where Waites was able to find his niche.In 1970, Waites met his future wife, Joan Blanks. He had gone to school with her for three years but did not know her. On the second date he knew he was going to marry her. In two weeks it was settled, and four weeks later on Dec. 26, they married. They had two children, Ray and Dee Dee. He had been moved into management, and they were living in Carrollton Georgia. Both had been saved when they were young by experiencing a spiritual revival in their lives which continued until she died December 1, 2012. Waites says it will continue as long as he lives.

Goodman III was born the son of a preacher and grew up in church his entire life. At the age of 14, in 1999, he made a serious commitment to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. From 1999 to 2001, he studied the Bible vigorously, in hopes of understanding all that he could about the Gospel in order to reach the world. It would be in 2001, at the age of 16, when the author discovered that the modern church was ineffective in today's world. The author began to question Christianity's legitimacy. This led to restlessness and also conflict with his father. Goodman departed to find the true God. In 2009, the author made the decision to never return to modern church. He began to re-learn the Bible again. He filtered out everything he had been taught by modern preachers, solely relying on Scripture alone, as it is written.

He is the founder of the Re-Education & Liberation of the Disciples of Christ movement. For booking or to learn more visit www.brotherjaygood.com

In America sixty years ago people were safe hitchhiking, walking to school, in schools, theaters, work places, all public places, and no security was needed for your home. The foundation of marriage was good and children grew up in an environment where they were taught the difference between right and wrong. Abortion was illegal, and there was no sexual revolution, illegal drugs, no gay marriage, and other evils.Over the past sixty years Satan has gradually taken over America. Americans are no longer safe in schools, theaters, or their homes. There is too much hate, crime, and killing: it's destroying the American foundation. People need to remove Satan from their lives and choose good.The solution is a self-disciplined society. The military and sports are forms of self-discipline. Self-discipline is total control over all of your thinking, actions, behavior, and knowing the difference between right and wrong.Russell Lewis Poling is a living example.When you read this book you will see the life Poling lived. His life is self-disciplined. He has chosen good instead of evil. He is not a religious fanatic; he believes that there is too much emphasis on religion and not enough teaching on how to live a good life in schools, homes and churches. They should teach a better way to live without evil.In the matter of Church and State: the State has the military power and the Church has the spiritual power. If both are united, no nation or nations can conquer America. Let's keep them united to stamp out evil in America and the world.
