Having isolated myself from the Lord, I was spiritually drowning, tired and worn from life’s pressures. I was finished. No longer willing to go through the motions, I was ready to turn my back, walk away from God, and never look back. And yet I said one last prayer, hoping to receive something to grab me up out of my despair. Alone, depressed, and silent in my chair, the Holy Spirit simply said, “I hear your cry.”

He rescued me from self-destruction, and placed my feet on solid ground. My journey back into His presence has been a long but rewarding trek. He revealed my heart, and I had to confess, repent, and return for more instruction because it was true and done with love. I am humbled that He took so much time with me. He is my great I Am!

My chronicled inspirational and poetic journey back into His presence was my revelation, and I now know that I was not alone in my drowning. So many people feel unworthy, lost, pressured, or isolated, and want to be comforted by personally knowing that God hears their cry as well. God wants to free you from feeling unworthy. He wants to tell you exactly where you are in Him and lead you into a closer relationship with Him. This book encourages you to listen, obey, and be responsible to the Holy Spirit. You are not alone!

“I hear your cry” ushered me into His peace. It is more than enough.

The Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hit Man Presidency by John Perkins

https://www.amazon.com/Art-Steal-Trump-Economic-Presidency/dp/B0G7VFBY21

Johnperkins.org

Since World War II, US presidents of both parties have relied on an economic hit man strategy.

They have used the four pillars of that strategy (fear, debt, anxiety over insufficiency, and divide and conquer) to control other nations and enrich a growing oligarchy.

In the groundbreaking Confessions of an Economic Hit Man trilogy, John Perkins exposed the complex, expansive, and clandestine global network that serves the interests of powerful corporate, financial, and political entities. In The Art of the Steal, he reveals its most dangerous evolution.

Donald Trump represents a historic shift. He is the first US president to turn the economic hit man strategy into a personal brand and governing style. He has ascended the four pillars, brought the playbook home, and reversed the march toward the American ideal of liberty, equality, justice, democracy, opportunity, and an individualism that supports family and community. At the same time, he has forced what was hidden into the open.

This book explains

how this happened,

why it matters, and

what each of us can do to turn things around.

Both warning and blueprint, it offers a pathway to renewing the American ideal—and using it to model a new global ideal.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Lust: My Story by Shashawnah Smith

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBXDYF8S

This book is a spiritual definition of Lust using my own personal life story. It is full of lessons the Holy Spirit has taught me through the process of living with many head-on-collisions with the Spirit of Lust. Inside you will find not only definitions of how my particular strand of lust (sexual) has had it’s moments of defeat in my life, but of the other strands of lusts that people just like you may battle, without even knowing it. This book gives people a very transparent glance into a time in my life that I’d otherwise not be willing to share had God not prompted and pushed me to reveal. There’s parts where you’d laugh, you’d cry and you’d probably cuss me out but, I believe, most of all, that you’ll learn and grow spiritually as well. So, as you embark on this journey with me, stay open minded and alert because it’s an adventure!

Haystack Full of Needles: A memoir of research on mechanisms of memory in the decades that defined neuroscience by Louis Neal Irwin

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1664140603

Lirwin.org

How do we store information in the brain? Is memory a thing in a place, like a specific molecule in a particular cell? Or does learning require a process in a population, like neurons firing in a specific pattern for each experience? This combination of memoir and history tells the story of how the mechanisms of memory were gradually revealed, through biographical vignettes of the scientists who set out to solve the riddle of memory, including the author?s own efforts as he was coming of age as a scientist. It shows how individual goals intertwine with the technologies at hand to push scientific knowledge forward, often erratically, and always in the context of social forces and private ups and downs. Not only a compelling personal story with the war in Vietnam, civil rights movement, and downfall of two presidents as backdrop, this is a lucid explanation of brain function for the nonscientist and valuable contribution to the history of science in the decades that saw neuroscience join molecular biology as the marquee biomedical accomplishments of the twentieth century
