All Bones are White




★★★★★ What does it mean to be American?

____

For a young immigrant boy named Carlo--who had to say goodbye to his birth name and country--the answer was a hard one to find.

When Carlo was just five years old, his Mexican mother, Camerina, married a gringo, Bill Allen. Wanting only the best for his three adoptive children, Bill moved his new family across the border. Bags packed and sights set for the sky, they left Mexico and set their sights on none other than the Big Apple.

From the start of this long trek across North America, Carlo’s childhood was filled with exciting new experiences, harrowing odds, and cultural backlash.

◆ Detailing one man’s personal journey of self-discovery in a foreign land, All Bones Are White offers readers a rare firsthand glimpse into the seemingly insurmountable struggles of the lengthy Americanization process.

Told in Carlo Perez Allen’s own words, learn first-hand how one person’s identity can be forcefully molded, generalized, and lost within the struggle to obtain the All-American dream.

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life.
