The Little Book is based on a Bible verse in Revelation that tells of an angel commanding the prophet John to eat a little book that would be sweet in his mouth and bitter in his belly. The major issues of the liberal agenda are of the same nature. They include atheism, feminism, homosexuality, animal rights, environmentalism, education, government, and, worst of all, abortion. These issues are presented in a feel-good way, sweet as honey, but always turn to bitterness and are quickly forgotten by the liberal presenters and media cheerleaders. For many years the expansion of liberalism has been a mystery, but a study of the scriptures has revealed how that thinking has overridden common sense. It is the authors conviction that the chief perpetrator of these issues is Satan who has blinded the minds of many of our citizens, enabling the ungodly liberal activists to force their evil positions on our whole country. Its a perfect way for the devil, in his war against GOD, to increase the alienation of man from GOD. The BIBLE shines a spiritual light on their deeds, exposing them for what they are. Through GODS dealings with Old Testament Israel, we can easily see what HIS response is to a nation that rejects HIM and follows a secular path in the pursuit of self satisfaction and self glorification. Since GOD changes not, our concern should be HIS response to our current humanistic leanings and ungodly desires. Without a national repentance, is there an apocalyptic event in store for America?

My book contains my poetry, art and photography. I studied Art at a later stage in life, doing an Access to Art & Design course which covered a lot of subjects including ceramics, photography, 3D and 2D design, Fine Art, print work and graphic design. I then went on to study Ceramic Design at Central St Martins University in London and followed by a Fine Art Degree, in Essex. Sadly, my glaucoma took a turn for the worse and I lost a lot of eyesight. I had little option but to join a visually impaired art class in Hadleigh, Essex. During this time, I exhibited my work in local Art Trails. One day, on Chatt Inn Facebook group, I wrote a tiny ditty which went down well, and I was invited to write a poem on a regular basis. I kept all my poems on WordPress together with some of my earlier art and photography. When I moved home, a friend kindly presented me with a book he had created on Lulu, containing some of my art and poems. This inspired me to produce this book of further poetry, art and photography.
For the past eighty years, the beautiful words of the Lebanese-American poet Kahlil Gibran have graced everything from greeting cards and wedding invitations to inspirational wall hangings and corporate motivational literature. By one account, Gibran is the third bestselling poet of all time, after Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. In this beautiful gift book, we discover the essential wisdom about what it means to be alive. For Gibran life is the energy that saturates all we see and feel--as well as what we can only imagine. Here are over 100 fables, aphorisms, parables, stories, and poems from the author of The Prophet. Here on display is that visionary voice of comfort, love, and tolerance. Listing to Nature's Life Taking time to listen to the natural world reveals a new dimension of being human. It is as if all of nature were already within us, reminding us of our connection to the one life we share. Solitude Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all our dead branches. Yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.
