This book details many facets in the development of man, from humble animal beginnings to the sophisticated, citified man we see today. We explore the evolutionary changes of man in a world of creation. But if we're honest, we recognize man as an unfinished work and currently a "bad actor". So, we explore the "who", "what", "when", "where", "why" and "how" man got this far and what drives his behavior in this complex, complicated, and convoluted world. We'll take advantage of paleontologic and archaeologic evidence, but also explore extraterrestrial hocus pocus. We'll consider the soul as the essence of individual existence and ensoulment as the process of receiving that soul. And we'll look at what man does, might do, or has done (some that he might not be proud of - e.g., conspiracy, rebellion, and revolution) - all in the quest to know man, now and in the future.
History provides many notable examples of individuals rising above tragedy to accomplish great things in their lives, never allowing worry or regret to prevent them from seizing an opportunity. The life of the late Don D. Pittman serves as an ideal example of someone who refused to falter when faced with a challenge and, through perseverance, went on to serve in several key positions in the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War. Born on Halloween of 1925, Pittman’s mother passed away in childbirth and his father soon left town, leaving the infant boy to be raised by his grandparents in Jefferson City, Missouri. He would go on to graduate from a local Catholic high school and enlist as an aviation cadet in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Earning his wings as a transport pilot, he participated in relief flights during the famed Berlin Airlift before making the transition to jet aircraft and later completing two tours as a command pilot in the Vietnam War. Demonstrating his capacity for leadership, Pittman ascended through the offi cer ranks, eventually commanding U.S. Air Forces, Korea and the 24th NORAD Region. When his thirtyfive year career ended in 1978, he had achieved the esteemed rank of two-star general. Major General Pittman’s service characterizes the dedication of a member of the “Greatest Generation” — a patriotic citizen whose life was defined by accomplishment and, through his uniformed service, ascended hardship and misfortune to achieve great success in his military career.
In a myriad of ways, prolific writer Gordon Offin-Amaniampong had never come across or seen ‘The Mega Basket ‘ (probably the size of a super shopping centre). It was the most sought after venue in town as its brand name seemed to have caught fire. Intrigued by its sheer size and all its acclaimed good stuff, the writer decided to explore.It was a journey that appeared improbable from the beginning. But he would press on to the wire. He was seen by many walking the corridors of the powerful, trekking the boundaries of slum-lords, in bed with ‘Galamseyers’, as well as dabbling in politics, sports, life style and many more..Oftentimes, it’s hard to find real good stuff at the right time. Why? They seem extinct like the pink-eyed forest dweller—Gerygone insularis or the Hawaiian honey creeper with a spectacular bill. But did Gordon find the Mega Basket? And was his find good enough to stand tall among the lot?He calls his find: ‘Gordon’s Hodgepodge.’‘Gordon’s Hodgepodge’: it’s a mega basket with all kinds of fruit put together. They include, feature articles, wise sayings, riddles, and short stories. It’s like shopping from one store to another at a mini plaza----crisscrossing aisle by aisle, checking out the goodies at the same time doing people watching.The stories are beautifully synchronised in a way to capture the readers’ attention.Hodgepodge is also woven like ‘Kente’ a signature cloth by the people of Ghana in the West Africa region. The book hooks the reader up right from the get go. And one can’t drop it until one gets it all tasted and feelmesmerized!It’s a must-read Book.

Have you ever wondered why you do not get answers to your prayers?You pray all the time and do not get answers, and then wonder why they are not being answered. Many books discuss praying, but What God Says About Prayer, Church and Religion reveals what the Bible says about prayer and how to get results. This book also explores the disconnect between churches and religion. God sought for all of us to be one people and serve one God, but myriad churches exist; many of them teach that prayer should be conducted publicly and vocally. God says we are to pray in secret and not in public; he rewards us for praying secretly.Do you pray in secret? When you pray, do you repeat the Lord’s Prayer without contemplating the meaning of the words?

As an educator, I noticed that there was a shortage of books written about the different challenges that children face written for children. My hope in writing books such as this one, is that children would be given a voice to say, "Hey, that sounds like me, maybe I can get help!!" So many children struggle with challenges and do not know how to ask for help or feel hopeless or different because their friends do not have the same challenges.I want children to have a way to identify what they are struggling with so that they can ask for help and feel good about themselves for getting help. I see too many children who cannot speak for themselves or feel helpless to ask for assistance with whatever it is they are going through.I hope this book and the books I plan to write will do just that for our children. I hope that children will realize that they are not alone and that there is help and compassion for the obstacles they face.

The United States' War on Terror has been ongoing for nearly three decades, ever since the first World Trade Center bombing in 1994. But this war has been ongoing for some 1,400 years, since Muhammad claimed that he was visited by the archangel Gabriel in a cave near Mecca in 610 A.D. and recited the Qur'an to him then and in a series of visitations thereafter. And thus, a new religion, Islam, was born. Muhammad advocated the use of force to convert the world to Islam and his followers have used both his tactics and his example since those early days of Islam.Rev. Dr. Oldham questions the encounter with Gabriel, primarily because the archangel Gabriel of the Bible always was a messenger from Jehovah God. He never recited anything from an "eternal holy book." The archangel Gabriel of the Bible normally "visited" people in dreams and visions. So, the question is: Did Muhammad converse with an archangel or a devil-perhaps Satan himself? This well-researched and fascinating book answers that question and several other "politically incorrect" questions.

During one of my days off, usually on Saturday and Sunday, I was looking around the condo to all of its hidden places trying to find my mosquito. Not because I was thinking to kill it.

I ended up with no success.It becomes quite clear to me that the Mosquito and I were sharing the same space.
