Böcker av James Brown

Traditions to Treasure is the third and final volume in John Ritchies' Christian Heritage Series. Volumes 1 and 2, have already been well received, describe great servants of God who shone in the darkness of 14th to 18th century Britain, then others who pioneered with the Gospel in many other countries abroad and at home.

In this book, the same lovable characters, including Granny Z, that the reader has encountered in the first two books are still present and just as lovable or disgusting as before. And like the 1st two books, Granny Z tells the same wonderfully engaging children tales for all children to help lift their heads-up. The time table is set in a very difficult to explain time period of racial turmoil and continuing racial injustices spiraling out of control taking place everywhere. Everyone is either working hard or angered by not having any work. It is a time of many powerful events challenging America and the Cold War is blistering to a fever pitch. The Soviet Union and America are engaging each other in cat and mouse games of dangerous war tactics where young men and women are being killed away from the General Public's eye. A Soviet Nuclear Submarine Base being built on the coast of Mexico only adds to the furious nature of this novel and the Cold War.

"Granny Z" or Zella Roosevelt, a cherished and beloved 105-year-old ancient storyteller, continues telling her amazing children tales encompassing her family's history from within a blind alleyway in New York City to youngsters seeking life's acceptance and love. And, as always, her rebellious grandson known as the Panther or JeanPaul follows life's challenging paths and is now a Most Wanted man in the dangerous world of underground forfeit fighting. Granny Z's son, Ricky Roosevelt, and Ricky's best friend, Buster Brocks, continue trying to protect Los Angeles as LAPD Supervisors. JeanPaul's mother is now married to Terry Bradhearst who makes daily financial decisions that impacts the world. God is in this book. And Jesus. And the Holy Spirit. And God's Angels. There is also Officer Oliver, Colonel Bradley, and General Reynolds. And Victoria Roosevelt who is also known by her fellow US Marines as Vicious.
