Brother James's, "Show Me The Scripture, Because Jim Jones Was a Helluva Preacher Too," is a nonfiction follow-up book to his novel, Pimping God's Word: The Rise and Fall of Pastor N. O. Goode. Brother James addresses the numerous doctrinal myths perpetrated from the pulpits across this country by minister's intent on distorting God's Word for their own selfish gain. Brother James espouses that all preachers should model themselves after Jesus Christ who never sought fame and fortune but chose to do His Father's will by teaching the basic messages of the Bible which are to love God first and foremost, never putting anything or anyone before Him. One can easily conclude that the author feels that too many preachers today want to be and are considered little "g" gods by their congregations while relegating and subjugating Almighty God as a benevolent father figure in the sky who is only called upon when one is in dire straits! The second basic part of Jesus's lessons is to love others as much as we love ourselves. This unique book also suggests one cannot separate love from giving so if we truly love God then we must reciprocate His love for us by showing sincere love to others and we must all show our love and devotion for Him by studying to show ourselves approved so we might not consciously be spiritually led astray. Brother James's disdain for preachers who like the Judaizes of the New Testament era who were leading God's people astray with false doctrines is beyond obvious. You may not agree with everything Brother James promulgates in this noteworthy work but will admit after reading it that it will truly make you rethink some of the things you have and are currently being taught by those who profess to be called by God to preach!

Pimping God's Word is inspired by the negative stories presented by the mass media regarding the downward spiraling trend of Christian values in today's churches and society at large. Church used to be a spiritual "filling station." A place where people who were broken in spirit, grieving, or morally bankrupt could come and be "filled" with the Divine Word of God. However, some of the church practices today run parallel to the greedy, corrupt, amoral, depressing and debilitating practices found on Wall Street, in major Corporate offices and in the ever encompassing legislatures at all levels of government. Christian churches then are devolving into just another place, another institution where worldly values are practiced as opposed to GODLY values. The Apostles, James, John, Paul and Peter all spoke of the day when Godly people would have to discern those who were truly God sent or called as opposed to those who are motivated by "filthy lucre" to teach and preach the Word of God. This book highlights some of the warning signs of these false teachers and preachers mentioned in the New Testament. As believers we must study to show ourselves approved and avoid becoming "Spoon Fed Christians."

The Quintessential, Firebrand, Prophetic, Streetwise Poetry from the Son of a Preacher Man is a collection of poems written since 1978 to the present that reflects the authors view on politics and economics, relationships and religion. These poems are garnered from the author's lifelong experiences as an African American male in the USA. These poems having been written by an African American in the diaspora express the hopes, fears, joys, loves, sadness, bitterness and aspirations of a people who by an unfortunate act in history, namely the African Slave Trade, are forced to unconsciously and sometimes consciously subscribe to value systems and cultural practices that are detrimental not only to themselves but future generations. Hopefully the insights gleaned from the reader will produce a new and most importantly Godly inspired world view...
