Prophets and Poets (2009)
Prophets and Poets is a creative look at survival - emotional, spiritual and economic. From the drug dens of the seventies to the marketplaces of the twenty-first century, the author has unveiled his own troubled journey with a mixture of insightful and provocative short stories, testimonies, blogs, commentaries, and poetry. Culturally relevant and emotionally stimulating, this creative blend leaves no subject off limits. Tragedy, despair, panic, and even death are pondered frankly as the author deals with the pains, questions, and promises of life. Always the optimist, he offers insights for hope and healing to bring closure, hope, and salvation to this experience called life.

Robbing God (2009)
What happens to the spirit of generosity of the average person when the economies of the world melt down around them? How are charitable individuals committed to obedient giving going to navigate through budget breakers like runaway gas prices, high food costs, unemployment, and tax increases, to pay for a government spending frenzy? Robbing God is simply a book about personal freedom?a freedom that is experienced when individuals discover the kind of giving first demonstrated by a loving God. A God that has not withheld anything from those he loves. Somehow, as with many of the bible's teachings and principles, some have managed to turn the act of giving into little more than a self-serving personal agenda, complete with greed and corruption. While some may teach that giving produces personal gain and wealth, many give for the sheer joy and privilege of giving. God was the ultimate giver and created us in his image. We are certainly at our best when we learn to give cheerfully, just as he gave.
Is it really possible to rob God? If so, who is capable of robbing God? For many years I have watched money collected in many places and in many ways. I've heard and witnessed the simple, the sublime, and the ridiculous. It is not difficult for us to understand giving. There is something within all of us, a part of our nature that wants to give. Our hearts respond to the needs of others. We see ordinary hero's jump into action everyday when people are in trouble. Giving is as natural for us as receiving. If we made a list of all the ways we give on a daily basis, we would truly be amazed. Opening a door, helping a child, picking up the tab for lunch, sharing a cookie, saying a prayer, offering an encouraging word, there is really no end to the list. We do it willingly and without coercion or manipulation the majority of the time.
All of us are givers. Giving is not just a rich man's game. Jesus called attention to a poor elderly widow woman that with two pennies, gave more than all those he witnessed giving at a temple. He also informed us that by giving to the least we were also giving to him. How is it that we have managed to take the joy out of so much of our giving? I can't accept that God's love for a cheerful giver is limited to cash on hand. God gave his son. Jesus gave his life. What little we give should at the very least be given cheerfully. So here it is, our "aha!" moment, a moment to let our guard down in order to experience the joy of giving, a moment to learn how to recognize and resist the guilt driven, coerced, and manipulated giving that robs us of the ability to give cheerfully.
It is scripturally and contextually inaccurate to emotionally manipulate an offering out of the faithful by suggesting they are robbing God if they don't give. If we trust God and trust one another, we need not out of fear, rely on manipulative practices to fund God's work or provide for our own needs. A cheerful God provides for his children, and he loves it when we cheerfully give.

Thanks so much for adding me to your friends! I'm so sorry if I kept you waiting - I haven't been here for quite a while, but now we're catching up, and we've updated a lot of things.
Check out the new songs! My new album will be out soon, and also check out the video from our tour in Kenya and the UK - it's set to my new single that's at radio now, "Your Great Name". We hope you love it, and would love to hear your thoughts!
God bless you, and I hope I see you often!
Jennifer

My dearly beloved Randall:
Peace be unto you!
Given the current distress and perplexity which the world is experiencing, inspirationally caused by the forces that be through man and nature, it is important that certain mysteries are brought to light at this time, that the wearied soul may find comfort in understanding the time and season, and his designed course and ordained destiny, as the end of the journey and its glory are upon you: for every journey must have an end. The time is come for you to gradually receive the full knowledge of God's grace, as the last fulfillment is at the door; grace to you: for Peace, the latter rain, whom you seek, and whom the world esteems not, is in your midst, incognito: for as it was at the first, so again it is at the last!
To he that has perception: Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open (expound) the book, and to loose (interpret) the seven seals thereof. Thus you were told to watch: for he comes as a thief. And understand the presence of a thief: for he never comes announced; but is in your midst, yet unawares to anyone but he that he makes his presence known to: incognito. Let he that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches (the body of faiths), even unto all men: it is the voice (doctrine: testimony) of the seventh angel (Peace: the last). The peace of the Father, which is accorded the Son, be with you; and the love of the Father, whom you are, ever to be reflected unto your brethren. Shalom! Salaam! Namaste!
Eternally with you!
Your friend,
Nicky
