I Didn't Come Here to Tap Dance

Book Review:

5.0 out of 5 stars This Collection is a Universe of Storied Truth-Telling

“I Didn’t Come Here to Tap Dance” is a self-portrait painted in poetry. And like a photomosaic, the larger picture derives the brilliance of its clarity from a carefully crafted tapestry of smaller images. Each one, a voyage to a world all its own. To experience, to explore, to savor. This collection is a universe of storied truth-telling about identity, freedom, war, religion, politics, music, and faith, starting in the Jim Crow South and ending at the Corona Virus question mark. Individually, these poems are blueprints for critical thinking in a world of hypocrisy and illusion. Paradigm shifting history lessons that provoke and connect the unaware to the unafraid. But together, they comprise a face so warm, a voice so strong, a sensation in my stomach so familiar, I recognize the messenger as my friend. In the lake of life, some choose to hurl heavy rocks with all their might, reveling in the size of a short-lived splash. Others aim and complain before skipping their turn, blaming the fear to let go on a frozen shoulder or limp wrist. But Ngoma Hill was born with a slingshot for a sidearm, and he’s been skipping stones for seventy-five years. Why would someone spend their life making waves? Because only the ripples reach the other shore.

The Revenant's Mark

The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant’s Mark blends dark...

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science WHEN FAITH CONFRONTS SCIENCE Dare to question, but be ready to believe. “Does God Exist?” This is an age-old debate. Interestingly, those who say “No” often cite science as the basis for their opinion. They openly state that “There is no proof of the existence of God.” However, there is proof of the existence of God. There is more than ample proof of His existence. There is more evidence than anyone will ever need if one was willing to look in the right places, if one was open to that proof, and if one does not block or eliminate the proof or otherwise redefine or pre-determine the scientific criteria despite the evidence. Carl Sagan once wrote, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence.” This book presents Ten Observable, Demonstrable, and Verifiable sets of facts that prove the existence of God. Not one, not two, but ten. Any one set of these proofs by itself would demonstrate it, but together they provide ove...
