My encounter with officer of the law began early in life as an African American citizen in Poughkeepsie, New York. The first encounter happened on second floor of Smith Street Projects in Poughkeepsie, New York. I was a young child going to elementary school on summer vacation from Warring School on Smith Street. My second floor neighbor saw me in the hallway near her apartment. This African American woman accused me of taking pennies out of her apartment. This false accusation led to my having to deny this Lady's claim to the city of Poughkeepsie police officers. My teenage life led to an incident with the City of Poughkeepsie police department on Market Street. I was walking to visit my Aunt on a Friday Afternoon. This police officer saw me walking and pulled up by the curbside. I did not hesitate to immediately run down the street. This intersection was in the downtown business section of Poughkeepsie, New York. The local police headquarters being right across street of intersection. My decision to run suddenly seemed to be wrong choice. I decided best imaginable choice to turn around with hands up. This decision instantly became right thing to do because police officer already pulled out gun. I spent rest of evening waiting in jail cell until family arrived to pay bail money. I was charged with Obstruction of Government Administration after seeing judge in court. My family life started on Pittman Farm Edgecomb County in Whitaker, North Carolina. I was a young child involved in the daily operations of sharecropping family lifestyle. My chores were to go to the well for drawing water. This water would be used for cooking, washing, and feeding hogs. The hogs lived in a pen down a path leading toward woods not far from our house. I would take slop to feed the hogs as a young child around 3 years old. This slop consisted of thrown out pieces of unwanted items family would place in a bucket. I had so much spare time being a young child because older relatives in school or at work. My favorite time happened when the Candyman drove onto Farm selling everyone a variety of sweets. My ability to appreciate values of getting spending money began on the farm. I would find empty soda bottles anywhere imaginable and take these bottles to country corner grocery store for a refund of money and candy.

Each dreamlike lyric in Biman Roy's Navigating the Quartz Forest is charmingly paired with a small handwritten note hastily jotted down on blue-lined notebook paper-artifacts from his daughter's life outside the family home. "All through the evening, we keep talking nonessentials, / tiptoeing around secret tulips," he says. These notes, like scraps of overheard conversations removed from their natural habitats, become the crystalline seeds of new poems. Side-by-side with each other, the poems act as translator for these somewhat oracular messages from an unknown world of teenage gossip and pop culture references, fitting the pieces together like a shattered mirror and filling in the jagged-edged gaps with the poet's expansive imagination. In Navigating the Quartz Forest, Roy's whimsical poems become a sparkling tribute from a father to his beloved daughter.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth because there was a war in heaven. At the end of that war, long before this new Adamic beginning, Almighty Father God gave Archangel Michael charge of leading the battle in casting Satan, the enemy of God, out of heaven. In the archangel's victory Satan was cast down to this God-created earth. In God's full knowledge of the pure evil that Satan possessed, He created man (the first one, Adam) in His own image. Each one of us that proceeded after that creation up to this very day are created as a person or piece of the Almighty God, endowed with the inheritance of who and what He is. God created man to be soldiers in His army. The purpose for our creation is to battle the evils that Satan would use to try to destroy us and this earth in his way of attacking God. In God's creation of man, we are "keepers of His footstool" because Almighty God is on His throne in heaven. Satan, having had the favor of God before he grew insanely jealous of Him, knew that not to be a good idea. So the very first man God created, Satan attacked and was successful. Satan knew that if he could insert his seed into the very first of God's creation, he would have a good chance of destroying all human beings that man would create. Psalm 139:14 says, "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. "In my opinion, there has never been a statement that has been proven more true. With Satan hiding behind the scene, he anxiously awaits man to explore his God-given creativity until man knows no limit, which ends us where we are today. Limitless possibilities! Constructive and destructive. Everything man creates is accompanied by an operating manual. In God's proof of all His creation, He accompanied us with one also. It's called the Holy Bible, which is not the story that we are able or want to create simply because we can, but it is His story that we are to follow. Like any other manual of instruction created by man that is unused or not read, you will undoubtedly end up with a lot of extra screws and pieces that do not fit. Give the Lord the mangled pieces of the life you have tried to put together. It's called surrender! It's the only way to true health, wealth, and spiritual freedom.

This book postulates a theory based on verified facts of investigative history. This book is fundamentally a history analytica of the Arabian Peninsula in the 6th and 7th century C.E. with focus on the Prophet of Islam Abul Qasim Muhammad bin Abdullah. The facts of history from which this theory emerged, as well those passages of the Quran that also support this theory, are the contents of this book.The theory postulates that Muhammad was a highly intelligent, wise, and far-sighted person, who had many rare qualities. He had an uncanny sense of judging individuals and communities. A great planner and executor of complicated and long drawn plans. He harbored the unique ambition of conquering the entire Arabian Peninsula and becoming its sole ruler. The problem was that the numerous tribes, both settled and nomads, had a long history of in-fighting, and blood feuds, spread over generations. To raise a large and united army, Muhammad had to inculcate inter-tribe and intra-tribe unity, peace, and harmony. He had to be in a position to command and control their behavior; introduce and execute social reforms to end the hostilities and enmities for good. Muhammad, according to this theory, decided to announce that Almighty Allah, the sole creator of the Universe, divinely ordained him as His Prophet and Messenger, more glorified than all previous prophets sent before Muhammad. Prophethood would enable Muhammad to command total submission from the Arabs, thus helping him achieve his objectives. Muhammad to command total submission from the Arabs, thus helping him achieve his objectives. Muhammad announced that the ArchAngel Gabriel brought words from Allah appointing Muhammad as Allah's Most Exalted Prophet for mankind. That ArchAngel Gabriel continued to bring him the revelations from Allah for 22 long years. HOWEVER, NO ONE BUT MUHAMMAD ALONE, COULD SEE, HEAR, AND CONVERSE WITH GABRIEL. To all other humans, Gabriel was invisible and inaudible. There was no worldly proof or verification that Gabriel ever came, or even existed for that matter. All else flows from this flaw.

For the reader who is interested in what the Bible has to say about future events, especially the coming worldwide Tribulation and the Rapture of the Church, this book will help to harmonize prophecies of both the Old and New Testaments. The same is true for those who would like to get a panoramic view of the entire book of Revelation of the Church. Five arguments are given to substantiate the validity of, and importance of, this theological position. For the reader who does not claim to be a Christian, this book will challenge him or her to see their need to accept Jesus as personal Savior now, before it is too late.

Miraculous events occur every day in a Christian's life if they have the "eyes of their heart opened" as St. Paul prayed. Most supernatural events are unseen or not spiritually appraised by the average Christian. But at certain times, God breaks through our rationalizations and unbelief and reveals his Real Presence to us in the the most amazing ways. This memoir is based on forty-four years of dreams, visions, angels and demons that were manifested to me, my wife Jane, and other family members.Of course, there were many days and nights when I experienced the "dark night of the soul," where God seemed distant and my spiritual soul was dry and in need of the water that comes from Jesus. This book was started fifteen years ago but I stopped writing as it was not the time to do it as God had other things for me to learn. Then, in 2011 I had a brain stroke caused by a blood clot. I was not able to work as a teacher for six months and I was left with mild paralysis on my right side. God allowed the stroke to happen but also taught me to be thankful for each day as life itself is a miracle!My prayer and hope for you is that you would take seriously the bible account of miracles in the four Gospels and in Luke's account of the early church in the book of Acts in the New Testament. St. Augustine said it best,"NOVERIM TE, NOVERIM ME." This translated is, "May I know you, may I know me." M.S. Lynch

God; U.F.O.; Antichrist comes from me talking to God in private as if a young man now putting it into a book as an older man. To let those things God showed me be displayed. I wanted to write this in the year 2000. I had a publisher, but God said, "No, not yet ready are they."After Covid-19 started, He said, "Now is the time. They are ready now. The world is at its weakest point."I closed my eyes, began talking to God the Creator of life, and He poured into things He wanted humans to know like UFOs are not our God and things about heaven and what plan He has for us in the universe. I must be honest I never thought to live this long. My two friends, Kevin, Thomas and Derick Edwards, were ironically shot in the head. I, at fifteen, had my first gun pulled on me. The guy on top had a gun to my head on my temple. I scared him and yelled, "Get off or shoot me." I should have died that day. Why am I still here? Maybe this book is the reason? Yes, let's see.
