The "The Journey of Life" is a book of collected poetry with real life stories and experiences with humorous, spontaneous, and life learning takeaways, moral family and spiritual dedications with realistic messages of creative, articulate, and critical thought from a humane & subjective point of view. The journey begins in a small Dallas inner city subdivision near downtown called Cadillac Heights which resides in Oak Cliff or Dallas, Texas, travels to Houston, Little Rock, Louisiana, Prairie View, Atlanta, San Diego, and St. Louis to name a few places and tells stories of life lessons being learned along the way. It is a very witty, humorous as well as intellectual collection of realist poetic chapters of life written by Brandon Dyer "Slim Daddy Smooth" in a similar style to Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Nathan McCall's "Makes Me Wanna Holler, with an inner city feel, swagger, point of view, and state of mind.
Throughout history, God has used dreams, visions and the prophetic word to instruct and encourage His people. He still uses these methods to communicate with us today--all we have to do is listen. My Journey is a collection of revelations the Lord has given Linda Walker over the years. Some of these prophetic words offered direction or warning, while others were simply messages of love from the heavenly Father to His beloved child. Although Linda did not immediately understand some of these messages, looking back she can clearly see how God used each word to keep her on the right path. God speaks to each of us in unique ways. We must learn to listen for His voice. My Journey will bless and encourage you to seek God with your whole heart, and get to know Him more intimately each day. God is speaking. Are you listening?
A National Bestseller! What does an undocumented immigrant look like? What kind of family must she come from? How could she get into this country? What is the true price she must pay to remain in the United States? JULISSA ARCE knows firsthand that the most common, preconceived answers to those questions are sometimes far too simple-and often just plain wrong. On the surface, Arce's story reads like a how-to manual for achieving the American dream: growing up in an apartment on the outskirts of San Antonio, she worked tirelessly, achieved academic excellence, and landed a coveted job on Wall Street, complete with a six-figure salary. The level of professional and financial success that she achieved was the very definition of the American dream. But in this brave new memoir, Arce digs deep to reveal the physical, financial, and emotional costs of the stunning secret that she, like many other high-achieving, successful individuals in the United States, had been forced to keep not only from her bosses, but even from her closest friends. From the time she was brought to this country by her hardworking parents as a child, Arce-the scholarship winner, the honors college graduate, the young woman who climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs-had secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant. In this surprising, at times heart-wrenching, but always inspirational personal story of struggle, grief, and ultimate redemption, Arce takes readers deep into the little-understood world of a generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today- people who live next door, sit in your classrooms, work in the same office, and may very well be your boss. By opening up about the story of her successes, her heartbreaks, and her long-fought journey to emerge from the shadows and become an American citizen, Arce shows us the true cost of achieving the American dream-from the perspective of a woman who had to scale unseen and unimaginable walls to get there.
As the first Muslim elected to Congress, Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison explores what it's like to be an American in the twenty-first century. As a Black, Latino, and former Catholic who converted to Islam, Keith Ellison, is the first Muslim elected to Congress—from a district with fewer than 1 percent Muslims and 11 percent Blacks. With his unique perspective on uniting a disparate community and speaking to a common goal, Ellison takes a provocative look at America and what needs to change to accommodate different races and beliefs. Filled with anecdotes, statistics, and social commentary, Ellison touches on everything from the Tea Party to Obama, from race to the immigration debate and more. He also draws some very clear distinctions between parties and shows why the deep polarization is unhealthy for America. Deeply patriotic, with My Country ’Tis of Thee, Ellison strives to help define what it means to be an American today.
The one word that encompasses the life of Apostle Lymus L. Johnson, from the early stages of his ecclesiastic career up through this present day, is "inspirational." Through his struggles in the early years - eating apples for breakfast, apples for lunch, and apples for dinner - fried, stewed and baked - he has inspired people to keep the faith, for he has never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread. He has inspired preachers to continue in the way of the truth - to cry loud and spare not. Exhorting them to lift up their voices like a trumpet in Zion. Charging them to preach the truth, be it in season or out of season. To this very day his doctrine has not changed. Because the Lord has kept him in relative good health through the years, he inspires both young and old - letting them know that the Lord is a keeper, a deliverer, and a healer. He inspires you to hold on to see what the end is going to be. To look at his life - his meager beginnings to where he is today - he is a living testimony that if you seek first the kingdom of heaven and all its righteousness, blessings and all your desires will be added unto you. He has inspired people, through the word of God, to live their lives to Jesus Christ - be baptized in his name, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and continue on to become "great" in their own unique way in the eyes of the Lord. Many have been saved, reclaimed and inspired by the ministry of Apostle Lymus L. Johnson. The following is not only the story of the consecrated life of Apostle Lymus L. Johnson, but also a look into the ministry itself with all of its struggles and triumphs. It is a living, printed testimony of what God can do! I'm sure that each of you who read this book will identify with some part of it. How your life or someone's life you know of has been affected in a similar manner. Many have tried to capture the uniqueness of his ministry... the "holler," the "comedy" and even his "assimilation of the scriptures." In this we can all agree, there is not another Apostle Lymus Johnson. Book jacket.

This book is dedicated to the people who believe in the journey that is called life, no matter how it begins or where it ends. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. When I was growing up in Brooklyn there were some people, not many, who feared the journey. They believed that home was their castle. They built moats around their castle that had to be maintained. The moat might have been the staircase. They would sweep the stoop and the grounds that circled the castle and wash the stoop, which may have been their drawbridge. The most important thing was staying close to their castle. They did not go too far from home. I, on the other hand, believe that staying close to home would stunt a person’s growth. I believe that in order to grow as a person you have to go farther than the front door. The kings, as I imagine, would send their general and officers to survey vast different lands to enhance their knowledge and awareness as their people consciously experienced processes that allowed those folks to live vicariously through the path that someone else walked, and in their mind’s eye, it became their reality.
