Den Where I Cry
Author: David Anthony Daniels
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449041108
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Thirteen years ago, I led a very dark and disturbing life, and I was suffering severely with mental illness and drug addiction. During this dark period of my life, I isolated myself from my family, friends and the world in my little den on Long Island. While I was in my “Den of Darkness” I did something else besides drugs and drinking, I sat at my desk and wrote poetry. Hundreds and hundreds of poems that stored in my desk top computer. These poems were not written in a proper state of mind. Unfortunately, because of the mind set I was in at that time, my poetry is very dark and disturbing, but when I think about it -- isn’t Batman dark and disturbing? These poems describe the way I felt when I lived in my “Den Where I Cried.”

Excursions is a collection of twenty-one short stories whose characters’ life journeys will lead them to the edge of chaos—---the place where permanent transformation occurs ---and where love is often found. Join me as we... Risk everything on a wilderness search for The Box and the precious treasure within; Share the perplexing trials of an exotic young man on a mission to dispense mercy; Witness the outcome of villagers offering their worship to a misshapen stone; Follow the desperate attempts of an oppressed minority to flee their dying planet; Sit with the Senior Director of Human Resources as he interviews a peculiar applicant for the position of Corporate Messiah; Hear the unspoken fears of an equities broker facing the collapse of the financial markets; Dine at the country club with two business associates proposing very different plans; Enter the death row cell of an inmate on the night of his execution; Eavesdrop on the conversation between two chronically ill people—---one old, one young; Sit with a fan whose team has finally made it to the NCAA football championship game; Take a once-in-eternity chance at winning The Prize; Watch firemen desperately battle a pre-dawn fire in a block of row houses; Join two frustrated trash men stalled at a blocked railroad crossing while their load of garbage bakes in the summer sun; Take a pre-dawn ride with two men engaged in true religion; Share brunch with a Broadway star trying to woo a reluctant agent to her cause; Discover the fate of a harassed and ailing pornography distributor; Go fishing on an autumn evening with a small-town boy and his special little sister; Learn the life- and- death decision of a grieving widow; Stand in line behind Willie Gene Johnson as the bank refuses to validate his parking ticket; Get behind the mic with a talk radio host trying to boost ratings with edgy topics; and Rock along with an elderly couple whose mailbox has disappeared in the high grass of their uncut lawn. As our characters speak and act, I hope you’ll see how decisions made on the edge of chaos may define your soul and shape your destiny as well.

Unholy Charade

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Could it be that the one who is smiling at you as he hands you the offering plate is abusing his wife at home? What if your Sunday school teacher, who knows so much about the Bible, is abusing his family behind closed doors? Is it possible that one of the elders or even the pastor of your church is practicing an unholy charade? If the spouse of one of these abusers comes to you for help, would you even be able to recognize the signs? How will you understand the dynamics of this deceiving evil? Pastor and author Jeff Crippen presents Christ's body with a work steeped in Scripture that lays before us a map of the abusive mind, the tactics of abuse, the effects abuse has on its victims, and the tragic way our churches have failed the victims of this sin. He issues a clarion call for those who love Christ to answer the call to love the oppressed and speak for the victims, as Proverbs 31:9 says: "Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." Together we can root out the wolves in the midst of the flock and unmask the domestic abuser in the church hiding in our pews.
