Daily Devotional With God:
I Come To The Garden Alone
This beautiful devotional is a book making a clarion call to all who desire to start their day experiencing the love of God. It is the very act of entering the garden of your heart alone with God.

You will love this book! You will also be especially thoughtful to share it with others. This daily devotional book will strengthen and renew your personal relationship with God.
The Audacity of Being a Christian:
How could you have thought it was going to be easy?
It seems that everyone in the world wants everything in an instance. They want everything to be easy. They spend their entire life trying to find the path of least resistance. What amazes me most is the fact that many Christians are assuming this same mental posture. Too often a crowd or herd mentality is embraced. No one wants to stand out as unique and bold, or fresh and daring. Uninspired orators are fleecing too many sheep. Fatigued Christians are losing faith in these money hunting ministers. They can see them following the dollars instead of the footprints of Christ. They see politics running rampant in the Church of the Living God and say nothing. When God calls upon them to have the AUDACITY to be a true believer and stand on a “Thus saith the Lord” they kowtow, bow and fold like an old worn newspaper. As they walk away you can hear them echoing the words of the Bible’s rich young ruler. It is too hard; they murmur as they leave the battleground of eternal destinies.
Things indeed may be too hard for us, but they are never too hard for God! If you profess that God is in you, then you must have the AUDACITY to claim His power. Speak the truth boldly, no matter what happens. You are never alone. God will fight your battle. God does not whimper or sob in the face of adversity. He has AUDACITY! HE IS GOD! What frightens us, never frightens Him. He knows no fear. You must have the courage to stand up while others sit. You must speak up while other are silent. Will you have the AUDACITY to be a Christian when the entire world is sitting quietly and going their own way? The question is, will you have the audacity to stand up and speak up? Well, Will You?
That Tent On The Corner
Facing God's Truths
A family faces an encounter with new truths from the Bible. Against the counsel of their pastor they begin a journey of exploration that leads them to examine the meaning of God's word for themselves. Each new revelation challenges their faith. They must now make unpopular decisions with their present church and their unyielding pastor.
What will they do? Will they have the courage to follow their convictions as the word of God reveals new light to them, or like unthinking puppets, will they follow the long-held traditions of their past.
What will they do? What would you do if it were you? Follow them as they face the adversities and challenges on their ever arduous journey to be obedient to Christ.
God And The Mind-Of-Man Connection
Food and the Fall: The Adam and Eve Syndrome
There is a hostile and intense battle raging for the mind of every man. You are being pursued by an unrelenting, wrathful, and deadly adversary. His single and solitary goal is the demise and destruction of everything and everyone that God loves. There is a GREAT CONTROVERSY that must be settled in the mind of all intelligent beings in the universe. Every man born during this age in which earth history closes, has come into existence for such a time as this.
Satan has concocted an effective and dastardly formula to hijack the minds of humanity. It is a formula that works every time against those who are not cognizant of his plans and methods. This book finally uncovers the enemy’s strategy. It gives us all the ability to not only resist, but with God’s strength, we can defeat him.
If you do nothing about Satan’s efforts, you will be lost. The stream of sin flows so swiftly, that to do nothing means being carried downstream to eternal destruction. You must open your eyes, ears and mind right now! You must fight back right now. This book tells you how, RIGHT NOW!

Hanging With Fools Will Get You Hung!
This book is great! It is based on the Bible's Book of Proverbs. Everyone needs this book right now, because there are fools everywhere. I will even go as far as to say that we are fast approaching a time where there are more fools than there are rational, Spirit-filled people. This truth is simple, but it is also frightening. Every day there is new and fresh fruit budding, blossoming, and ripening on the fool's-vine. Proverbs 13:20 says, “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but A COMPANION OF FOOLS SHALL BE DESTROYED.”
This book explores and skillfully deals with, not only the fool’s lack of wisdom, but his hatred for wisdom. This is a tale seldom told, but a road well-traveled. It is replete and filled with real-life examples of the catastrophic and unfortunate choices and the resulting consequences of the fool in his ignoble, shameful and inglorious follies. This book is best used to help your children and those that you love, to recognize and then avoid the association of fools and thereby their chance of becoming one of them.
Making The Frat: The Old School
ISBN 978-1-940525-14-3
This book is the work of a lifetime. It is where you tell and then do not tell. It is making sure that you allow others in, but never into the inner sanctum of the fraternity. You share without giving away. The viewer see enough, but not too much. You even let them see the hell and pain, but never beyond the sacred veil.
I know the reality of pledging. It is not a joke. Subject to the worse of humiliations, you become an active agent in your own demise. At times it even seems like a matter of life and death. It is not my intention to glorify the brutal acts herein associated with pledging. What you may see as glory, I may see as gory. What I say and what you perceive, what I write and what you read may be vastly different. So be careful of your own precarious interpretations. I am just like the umpire. I call it like I see it. You may see it differently. I love my fraternity and all for which it stands. However, what we did, the fraternity did not sanction. In fact, it was clearly against its policies. Yet, no one seemed to really care; at least no one that we knew. They had made it the hard way, and they swore before God and man that no one was sneaking into their fraternity. They swore, and they were willing to prove that they meant exactly what they said. The degree to which they would go was nothing short of death. They had the paddles, the tradition and the resolve to demonstrate to everyone that, “No dirty rat was going to sneak in the Frat. It wasn’t going to be any stuff like that!” We sang it as pledgees, and we knew that they meant every word of it.

What Ever Happened to Respect?
ISBN 978-1-940525-11-2
Some say that respect is a thing of the past and that chivalry is dead.

This school-age play is designed to give children a sense of power in making the decision to be respectful. Not only does this play say that being respectful is alright, but it goes further to say that disrespectfulness leads to a path of trouble, while respect leads to positive outcomes in your life.

Jam The Box 1 - Music
ISBN 978-1-940525-09-9
This is a Christian based play. We have performed it throughout Georgia and South Carolina. It has been performed in Atlanta, New York, New Orleans and Los Angeles. It has a powerful message and presentation that audiences thoroughly enjoy. The purpose of this play is to warn the youth about the destructive nature and negative influence of certain types of music. Written within their messages are both subtle and blatant negative communications. They are messages that say that it is okay to engage in certain negative behaviors. This is done with the knowledge that one thing leads to another. In this play the music leads to hanging with negative associates, drugs usage, and a path of immorality. This play will help our young people understand that their choice of music can have a deleterious effect on their moral character. This play sends a message saying “You can play with the devil, but the devil does not play!” As the characters say throughout the play, “One thing leads to another, that’s the way it is brother!” BUY IT NOW
Jam The Box 2, "TV"
ISBN 978-1-940525-08-2
The purpose of this play is to make everyone understand that the most important asset that we have is time. There are powers of a satanic nature that wish to control all of our time and leave no time for the worship of God. This play is funny and powerful. It has six characters that have specific duties centered on controlling our use of time. It is a Christian based play where Satan is very dissatisfied with the poor job that his imps are doing in controlling man’s time. So he calls a master meeting to get man back into his control. His assertion is that man has too much time to read the Bible and that this has to be stopped, and it has to be stopped now. The audience loves this play from the beginning to the end. New research indicates that Satan is doing his job well, with an average of 55 hours weekly being consumed by television, texting, and computer usage. This play pulls the veil from Satan's cover so that his plot against man can be seen for what it is.
