"ONE SISTER OF FAITH PACKING UP" a book of Christian short stories and poems that Iwas inspired to writewhile going through a storm of trials and tribulations.While writing down some of my thoughts and personal experiences, I began to see myself in the storm, andalso my lack of faith.I could see were my trust in God had grown, thank God I knew to call apon him. Yet I still did not have the faith that I needed to walk away from being bound, trusting and believing that the same God who kept meduring those storms,is the same God able to keep me through all the storms in my life. I thank God for inspiring me to write at an early age. I thank him for the bells that woke me up in the early hours of the morning, so that I would read his word.I thank him because he had plans for my life and I am so glad that God never fails.

He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" (Matt. 8:26 NIV). This was the most accurate scripture that anyone could have ever used to describe me at one point in my life. I was afraid, timid and shy, and fearful of every opportunity that came my way. Yet and still even from childhood, there was always this hidden, bold risk-taker underneath all the fear. Get Your Faith Up! is a personal testimony of how I went from being incredibly fearful of doing anything God said that I could do in life to taking leaps of "crazy" faith to see huge results in my spiritual walk and my life. It is also a guide to help others build their "faith muscle" in this spiritual gym called life.

A Tree Rooted in Faith traces the history of Queen of Angels Monastery from its beginnings in Maria-Rickenbach in Switzerland to the end of the twentieth century in Mt. Angel, Oregon. The foundress, Mother Bernardine Wachter, came to America as a missionary, first to Conception, Missouri, and then to the far west to establish a community of Benedictine Sisters. As she was joined by new recruits from Europe as well as American women, they built and staffed schools in Oregon and British Columbia. Based on community annals and individual memoirs, difficulties of their pioneer beginnings are related, along with adaptations of their prayer and community life to the new environment and to gradual developments in theology and spirituality. This story tells of the sistersÕ early work as teachers and of the gradual change in ministries as the needs of society and of the Catholic Church have evolved. The last quarter of the twentieth century saw drastic changes in American society and in the Catholic Church. Likewise, Queen of Angels Monastery has changed. Some basic ingredients of monastic life instilled by its founding mothers remain the same, while ministries and some aspects of lifestyle are different. Like their landmark giant Sequoia tree, Queen of Angels Monastery still stands firmly rooted in faith.

This book is what it is, an autobiography, better still, a graphic representation of my difficult but joyous upbringing in a communal setting marshalled by a most wonderful and loving mother, aunties, and uncles, the harsh cultural and traditional norms that daily confronts and subjugates our existence. The book showcases the struggles of one man from his native Nigerian state to the United Kingdom where he experienced myriad trials that blighted his life and career yet surmounted all the challenges to live life to its’ fullest. This piece of work lifts the lid on racism and how it can change the psychological and mental state of a man for better or for worse. It is also an encouraging piece of work, directing many to be resilient, focused, tenacious, be disciples of hard work, maintain strict discipline of their emotions and never give up on their dreams. It is emotive, energizing and a very inspirational read.

This volume tells the little-known story of the Dominican Family—priests, sisters, brothers, contemplative nuns, and lay people—and integrates it into the history of the United States. Starting after the Civil War, the book takes a thematic approach through twelve essays examining Dominican contributions to the making of the modern United States by exploring parish ministry, preaching, health care, education, social and economic justice, liturgical renewal and the arts, missionary outreach and contemplative prayer, ongoing internal formation and renewal, and models of sanctity. It charts the effects of the United States on Dominican life as well as the Dominican contribution to the larger U.S. history. When the country was engulfed by wave after wave of immigrants and cities experienced unchecked growth, Dominicans provided educational institutions; community, social, and religious centers; and health care and social services. When epidemic disease hit various locales, Dominicans responded with nursing care and spiritual sustenance. As the United States became more complex and social inequities appeared, Dominicans cried out for social and economic justice. Amidst the ugliness and social dislocation of modern society, Dominicans offered beauty through the liturgical arts, the fine arts, music, drama, and film, all designed to enrich the culture. Through it all, the Dominicans cultivated their own identity as well, undergoing regular self-examination and renewal.
