A great mixture of stories that remind you of the flavor of life that will season your soul as experienced through a precious friend and faithful saint. This collection is so very heart-warming.

Are you going through a personal storm this very minute? Did you just come out of a storm that left you battered, bruised, and weakened? Do you have days when it seems like the storms just won't cease? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you need a place of refuge. You need a place to hide to prevent further damage and to heal. You also need a place to seek God's guidance and direction for your life. We may not be able to prevent the storms from coming into our lives, but we can have a place of refuge to prepare us to withstand any level of damage. A Place to Hide, A Place to Seek is designed to take you on a journey to achieving the power God wants to see working in our lives. It is designed to prepare you for whatever level of force any storm may bring. The journey begins in the City of Praise. We will then travel a short distance to the City of Prayer. After we have spent some time on our knees, we will journey to the City of Promise. The next important city is the City of Peace. After we have peace, we need the City of Perseverance. We must be able to hang in there. The next city is the City of Prosperity. You have probably been waiting for this city. The last city, the one we need for God to do exceedingly, abundantly in our lives, is the City of Power. Let the journey begin!

In 1921 there burst upon the New York social scene the famous Morgan twins, Thelma and Gloria, whose names in the decade that followed came to spell glamour and excitement in that magic world of the “international set.” Two continents thrilled to Thelma Furness’s romances with Richard Bennett, Lord Furness, the Prince of Wales, Aly Khan, and Edmund Lowe. The whole world followed with bated breath the searing custody trial over young Gloria that pitted mother against daughter and shook the Vanderbilts and society. While much has been written from the outside about all of this, the two principals have never before disclosed the real truth behind the rumors and the headlines. And exciting as are their personal adventures and escapades, their story is also a portrait of an era. In every age there have been certain women who through a combination of beauty and personality have attracted the love and admiration of rich or famous men, and who seem to be the embodiments of the feminine charm of the period. The Edwardian era had its Lily Langtry, the Napoleonic its Josephine, the eighteenth century its Du Barry and its Lady Hamilton—and so on back to antiquity. In our time, among those women who have come close to fitting this role are Lady Furness and Gloria Vanderbilt. From childhood each had the elusive qualities that characterize the femme fatale. Both knew the love of many men, both suffered deeply, and now both have happily risen above the vicissitudes of their checkered careers and face the future with gallantry, humor, and without rancor or bitterness over the past. In this spirit, and with all sincerity, they have set down the story of their lives. In Double Exposure, we are given a matchless picture of life among the great—and the near-great—in the now-vanished world between the two wars. Above all, we come to know the minds and hearts and philosophy of life and love of two fascinating women, and something of the nature of fascination itself.
This book reflects the various styles of poetry—like prose, metaphor, simile, etc.—with one fairy tale (Lisa’s Unforgettable Stories: First Mommy Series), seven stories in all, and twelve short stories to follow. One book was written in memory of Mom. This book of poetry is the fifth. There are 355 brand-new poems and also about seventy brand-new written songs. Again, there are some R&B, but most are gospel. All books, poems, songs, and stories written were inspired by God. I give God the glory for the inspiration to write them, the talent to do so and to edit them, and the blessing to be able to have them published. It was very hard work, but Jesus is my coauthor, and he only brought and saw me through. I must give him the praise and honor for blessing me abundantly with much favor and encouraging me to finish each project that he gave the inspiration for.

Race first emerged as an important ingredient of New York City's melting pot when it was known as New Amsterdam and was a fledgling colonial outpost on the North American frontier. Thelma Wills Foote details the arrival of the first immigrants, including African slaves, and traces encounters between the town's inhabitants of African, European, and Native American descent, showing how racial domination became key to the building of the settler colony at the tip of Manhattan Island. During the colonial era, the art of governing the city's diverse and factious population, Foote reveals, involved the subordination of confessional, linguistic, and social antagonisms to binary racial difference. Foote investigates everyday formations of race in slaveowning households, on the colonial city's streets, at its docks, taverns, and marketplaces, and in the adjacent farming districts. Even though the northern colonial port town afforded a space for black resistance, that setting did not, Foote argues, effectively undermine the city's institution of black slavery. This history of New York City demonstrates that the process of racial formation and the mechanisms of racial domination were central to the northern colonial experience and to the founding of the United States.

All of life’s experiences: the good, the bad, and the ugly are relevant to one’s destiny. Upon conception, a new birth is selected for a specific purpose that the Creator has designed for it. Relationships, fellowships and alliances are necessary to groom and maintain the designated vessel by education and shaping by which this unique human being that the creator had in mind when He called the mother and the father to mate and create. Having given all the needed ingredients to produce this unique, designated vessel by the parents, the Creator gives the gift of pleasure. The parents are abundantly rewarded with explosive, unexplainable emotions comparable to that of a missile or a rocket being launched from earth into space. This phenomenal experience is imprinted on the memories of the parents for a lifetime and this experience could not have occurred without relationship. The author has concluded after scurrying around on this earth for several score and one decade, that she has experienced a tremendous amount of self-sabotage and sabotage by others through relationships. She thinks that she short-changed herself by minimizing the importance and not accepting many experiences which might have added to a more positive self-image and development. I feel a strong sense of gratitude to all who have helped me along the way (even those who set traps that I was able to escape).

Perhaps you have heard the saying "Life happens," and yes, it happens to us all. Thelma L. Williams wrote the book, Entering into His Oneness one day after experiencing a closet conversation with the Holy Spirit. She cried out her soul unto the Lord and asked Him this question, "Lord, how can I know you in the power of your resurrection according to Philippians 3:10?" She had felt years of suffering from the enemy's strongholds, and now after total deliverance, she writes this book, Entering Into His Oneness, to share with her readers how she overcame later obstacles in life. Thelma believes in unity and sound doctrine. It is what she wants her readers to experience from her book. She says it is like having mana from heaven, and the people who eat (read) will sustain nourishment from His Word, so they can be purposeful as God is edified. She is purposefully equipped with the necessary power, gifts, and calling for a victorious life. Thelma has encouraged many by sharing her testimony. She now wants to share with everyone who will read her book that they, too, can enter into His Oneness and become one with God and obtain His wealth, strength and empowerment, but more importantly, they can discover God's wonderful and perfect plan for their life in this present season. It is incredible and exciting, and it will transform your life. You, too, may know God in this extraordinary power. You can truly understand how God causes us to forget those things that are behind and move toward His glorious Oneness and pass it on to others. God's blessings are constantly flowing for all who are under His covenant and His Oneness. May all be blessed who read this book and enter into His Oneness.
