By opening this book, your hands will unleash the catalyst that produces the paradigm shift responsible for setting a force in motion that can move mountains. Upon first glance, what may appear to be nothing but “creative chaos” will give you a reason to hope. Reading the text will challenge you to raise your level of thinking. Your heightened awareness will unearth the “forgotten dreams” buried beneath the “abandoned visions” still cluttering the “valley of sun-dried bones.” Your new perspective will bless your gifted soul with meaningful access to what can enable you to decode the source of your deepest fears – the truth.

“No greater love know I” will inspire you to keep risin’ to your feet until your eyes meet the “greatness of God’s faithfulness.” Before taking the next step, wait until ground zero stops shaking beneath humanity’s ever evolving “merry-go-round of make-believe.” Once the dust settles, step through the cracks your spiritual awakening created between diametrically opposed ideologies. Only then will the wrinkles in the big screen of your eidetic imagination unfold. The mental word pictures you see will bridge the gaps between “what was,” “what is,” and “what will be” just the beginning of something new. Change is inevitable.

By choice, the protagonists became well acquainted with the inherent risks forever embedded deep within the uncertainties of the “what ifs” stalking Change. Their cruel antagonists hated honesty and seldom tolerated honest mistakes. Adversaries abounded. The damage done by every bad choice myopic grown folk made haunted resilient generations of lonely, latchkey kids. Fatalities became realities whenever lapses in judgment clashed with the severity of adverse consequences that left no room in the margins of their scripted lives for error. Hungry, streetwise kids negotiated done deals to secure hot meals as they navigated the narrow paths between possibilities where no safe passages previously existed. But somebody’s watchin’ who loves them.

    Solomon -

    I am honored to have made this connection. Your writing is rich with a power and depth that quickens both mind and heart to enraptured stillness… I look forward to reading your book.

    You speak to my very soul, for I too experienced, ‘the fall’. I speak about it in my spiritual blog, [...] in my post, We All Took A Fall. I’m always so moved when I hear another’s story about their journey and how they came through it.

    Thank you for becoming my ‘fan’, as I am now yours!

    From my heart,

    Melana

    I always expect the unexpected yet what I notice now that expecting something became unhealthy to me. My expectation become worries. I admired your strong faith.

    Steppin’ Out of the Darkness might come close to “The Purpose Driven Life”. I don’t have it yet but for sure it’s a must read.
