Being black and male is serious business, but its absurd contradictions are often too funny for words. In this award-winning book, Shawn Taylor deftly leads us on a no-holds-barred tour of his masculine development, acknowledging some deep but often hilarious truths about black men. This raw and spellbinding narrative, full of unexpected turns of phrase and shocking displays of vulnerability, contains powerful meditations on sexuality, romance, fatherhood, and violence. Unapologetic and sharply critical of the hatred and fear that American society harbors toward black men, Taylor brings the subject of black masculinity into the 21st century.

In recent years, the paranormal has gained new footing as reality television has grabbed onto this research and created a cultural frenzy around it. There are those who are skeptics, those who believe, and those who seek to prove the existence of the paranormal. In The Double-Blind Ghost Box, authors Shawn Taylor and Daniel Morgan share their research and personal experiences with the paranormal, focusing on the development and use of the ghost box, a device that can establish a two-way communication beyond death’s veil. The Double-Blind Ghost Box reviews the process of Taylor and Morgan’s studies of the device, along with how they determined its usefulness in researching the paranormal. They explore the history of the ghost box and the issues arising in today’s ghost box methods, and they offer methods for conducting an objective ghost box investigation, processing ghost box evidence, analyzing the findings, and presenting the results to clients. Taylor and Morgan also discuss the different spirits an investigation might uncover and future ghost box applications and technologies. Sharing actual transcripts of investigations, The Double-Blind Ghost Box works toward communicating the existence of the paranormal through objective research. Shawn Taylor has a technical background in computer hardware, software, programming, digital media, Six Sigma problem solving, statistical analysis, psychology, and counseling. Daniel Morgan earned degrees in behavioral science and electrical engineering.
When you make this paradigm shift, when you see your spiritual life through this lens, then religion changes to relationship, performance gives way to acceptance, the pursuit of knowledge becomes the experience of intimacy, and the Bible becomes a book of God's longing to communicate His pursuit of you. InFaith Painting, Shawn Taylor challenges our unconscious notions of what matters most to the Father and our means of gaining His acceptance. As people desperately seeking an encounter with God, it appears we have settled for 'being in the presence of one who was in the presence' of God, rather than finding that intimate relationship ourselves. We assume what we do is what matters most, yet we're surprised when the Father doesn't applaud our performance. For leaders, the temptation to bow to the cultural demand for showmanship is even greater. In a culture that worships athletes, idolizes singers, and exalts actors, is it really any wonder that church leaders are expected to command attention? Those at the pulpit are often more preoccupied with being dynamic speakers and attracting great crowds of people than ushering individuals into an intimate relationship with the Father. Jesus called for a different standard. As you read through the pages of this book, you'll begin a journey to discover God's heart. You'll be reminded that the creator of heaven and earth seeks a heart encounter with you which is not interpreted through a person on a platform. When God shows up in person, life changes. Pick up your paint brushes and let God change your paint-by-number artwork into an amazingFaith Painting!

When crime reporter Jordan Manning leaves her hometown in Texas to take a job at a television station in Chicago, she's one step closer to her dream: a coveted anchor chair on a national network. Jordan is smart and aggressive, with unabashed star power, and often the only woman of color in the newsroom. Her signature? Arriving first on the scene in impractical designer stilettos. Armed with a master's degree in forensic science and impeccable instincts, Jordan has thus far been able to balance her dueling motivations: breaking every big story and giving voice to the voiceless. From her time reporting in Texas, she's sure she has covered the vilest of human behaviors, but nothing has prepared her for Chicago. You see, Jordan is that rare breed of journalist who can navigate a crime scene as well as she can a newsroom often noticing what others tend to miss. Again and again, she is called to cover the murders of black females, many of them sexually assaulted, most brutalized, and all of them quickly forgotten. All until Masey James the story that Jordan just can't shake, try as she might. A fifteen-year-old girl whose body was found in an abandoned lot, Masey has come to represent for Jordan all of the frustration that her job with its required distance often forces her to repress. Putting the rest of her workload and her (fraying) personal life aside, Jordan does everything she can to give the story the coverage it desperately requires, and that a missing black child would so rarely get. There's a serial killer on the loose, Jordan believes, and he's hiding in plain sight.
