About The Book

I contend that any society's peace is measured by its people's capacity to maintain an eternal level of spirituality to promote morality. The biblical words from the Bible's introductory story of Genesis seem to make this point through these words: “Then the Lord said to Cain, 'why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it (Genesis 4:6).

While this comment isn't intended to imply a mandatory presence of common religion. I believe it suggests a place for spirituality within the purview of humans to assist in shaping the action and growth of humanity to the degree that we live in a condition of peace and practical and placatory development as we interact with others. The dawn of the twenty-first century presented more than exciting innovations in America. It also brought aggressive attacks on the lives of innocent people. But we are created Imago Dei in God's image, and our purpose should be to live out our faith as people of love in harmony with one another. This book seeks to inspire hope and renew a sense of inspiration in people who have been victims of the ugly side of humanity caused by mass shootings and political division.
