In his book Through the Eyes of God: A Supernatural Experience, Reverend Terrance G. Mackey, Sr., shares his personal encounter with God that began on June 28, 2010. The writer describes heaven as a beautiful place and indescribable. He tells the story of his out of body experience and how the Lord took him on a heavenly journey to show him things to come, things that are and things not to talk about. The Lord said, "I send you back with a message to the church. They have left their first love." He echoed to me John 13:34, "A new commandment I leave with you, that you love you love one another as I have loved you." My prayer and hope for those who read this book is that you come away knowing that the greatest weapon that we have is love for one another. "In every age there are men and women like Rev. Mackey who are raised up to simply believe God and allow Him to demonstrate His mighty power. This book is a record of his journey of faith that is both simple and profound. It basically portrays the doubts and fears which beset him in his early days of struggle for a meaningful faith. Granted, this is a record of a single minister and as remarkable as it is, Rev. Mackey's account does not stand alone. There are men who have honestly faced death and heaven and they've lived to tell about it. They have discovered that those who come back from the experiences are alive to bring a message back to the church. "You left your first love." Loving God, Loving the Church and loving one another is the message that Rev. Mackey received and charged to tell the church." Dr. Marcus E. Dixon
In modern physics, various fundamental problems have become topics of ongoing debate. There was the 20th century climb to a Standard Model, still accurate at the highest energy levels obtainable so far. But, since the 1970's, a different approach to physics advocates for theories such as string theory, known for their mathematical elegance, even though they either cannot be verified in data or contradict presently known experimental results. In philosophy of physics, there is a gradually emerging consensus that philosophy of physics and physics somehow contribute to a common enterprise. But, there is little sign of progress toward consensus about the nature of that unity. All the while, it is generally recognized that physics is interdisciplinary. There are, of course, differences in focus. But, implicitly at least, there are no 'sharp dividing lines' between physics and philosophy of physics; pure and applied physics; physical chemistry; biophysics; medical physics; history and philosophy of physics; physics and society; physics education; and so on. What, then, is progress in physics? The question here is not about ideal structures, but asks about what is going on in physics. Beginnings in discerning the presence of eight main tasks help reveal the (pre-) emergence of a normative omni-disciplinary basis for collaboration that, once adverted to, promises to be constitutive of a new and increasingly effective control of meaning. Originally discovered by Bernard Lonergan in 1965, progress in the new collaboration will not seek to eliminate specialized expertise. It will, though, divide tasks within an eightfold functional division of labor. This book invites attention to data for each of the eight main tasks evident and self-evident in existing scholarship in the community. The book also makes preliminary efforts toward envisioning something of what functional collaboration will look like — in physics, the Academy and Society.
From the Essence bestselling author of Hiding in Hip Hop and an entertainment insider—a fascinating novel about the “down-low” life of one of New York’s most beloved Hip Hop producers. After the sudden death of his father, a renowned jazz musician, Aaron “Big A.T.” Tremble clings to music as an escape. Making hip hop beats becomes his life. His love for music lands him at the estate of Larry “Pop” Singleton, a retired and respected Hip Hop music mogul who sees something special in Big A.T.—he also knows the truth about his sexuality. With Pop’s blessings and nurturing, Big A.T. is on the path to becoming the next great Hip Hop producer in New York. With the help of Pop and “the family,” a network of secretly gay men in the Hip Hop world, Big A.T. finds success and starts his own music label. He’s signed and worked with some of the biggest Hip Hop artists in the country. One of them is Brooklyn native lyricist, “Tickman.” Together they are making sweet music together. Tickman and Big A.T.’s relationship goes beyond producer and rapper—they become secret lovers. Nothing can stop Big A.T. All of the radio stations play his music. He has money, fame, and Jasmine, his girlfriend who doesn’t know about his secret love for men. However, at the pinnacle of his career, compromising photos of Big A.T. land on the desk of a national news program—and in the hands of his girlfriend. Big A.T., for the first time is at a crossroad in his career: come out publicly with his secret or watch his music empire crumble.
“The cross-section of poets with varying poetics and styles gathered here is only one of the many admirable achievements of this volume.” —Claudia Rankine in the New York Times The Golden Shovel Anthology celebrates the life and work of poet and civil rights icon Gwendolyn Brooks through a dynamic new poetic form, the Golden Shovel, created by National Book Award–winner Terrance Hayes. An array of writers—including winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the T. S. Eliot Prize, and the National Book Award, as well as a couple of National Poets Laureate—have written poems for this exciting new anthology: Rita Dove, Billy Collins, Danez Smith, Nikki Giovanni, Sharon Olds, Tracy K. Smith, Mark Doty, Sharon Draper, Richard Powers, and Julia Glass are just a few of the contributing poets. This second edition includes Golden Shovel poems by two winners and six runners-up from an international student poetry competition judged by Nora Brooks Blakely, Gwendolyn Brooks’s daughter. The poems by these eight talented high school students add to Ms. Brooks’s legacy and contribute to the depth and breadth of this anthology.

Rather than concentrate on the differences of how we arrived here, we need to recognize the similarities of science and religion. Perhaps both views can be tolerated at some point. We must have scientists to figure out how we got to where we are and aid in the future of us. We will never stop trying to discover where we come from and how we got here and why. There is no incompatibility in these endeavors. We are all here together and must forge a plan for the future, or our descendants will not survive. We cannot force our wills onto others. We must be tolerant; and rather than be antagonists, we must be protagonists and work together to ensure our place in the history of the universe and all universes yet to be discovered.
