A book about the Christmas story - no, not the one with the Red Ryder BB gun rifle. A fictionalized work based on the Biblical accounts of events surrounding the Birth of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. You can still hear Dad’s voice as he reads from Luke 2, “In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken...” We love the Story of Christmas, but the Bible story has many gaps from scene to scene.

The journey through seminary is not only a daunting task, but is also extremely disorienting in that once completed, one is never the same and can never return to where one began her or his Christian experience. During my courses at Gardner-Webb University, School of Divinity, I suggested that I would, at some point, I would encourage my students to publish their papers. Here is the fulfillment of that vision. Jamaal Edwards, Esquire, was one of my exceptional students who began his studies as a fundamentalist and grew well beyond his fourth paradigm shift in his faith and view of the Holy ...

Janelle was never a woman who played by the rules. Men wanted her. Women envied her. She used magick, seduction, and sheer willpower to take everything she desired. And for a while? It worked.
