O.U.C.H., Overcoming Undeniable Church Hurt, is a book that is not meant to bash, tear down, or destroy the Body of Christ.

O.U.C.H. will help us rip the "band-aids" off what many have tried to downgrade. This book is more than a "revealing."

The Codexation Dilemma, also known as the Human Mental Handicap, is one of the greatest intellectual foundations in the study of the mind that refutes the idea that consciousness originates in the brain. This assertion, according to Lawsin, is based on the fact that consciousness exists because biological sensors have an inherent dual capability of interacting with the environment. The ability to interact through association is the tell-tale sign that something is alive, aware, and conscious.Besides Associative Consciousness, other new concepts have been integrated into the creation of our living, thinking machine. The classical definitions of being alive, living, and with life, for example, have been redefined. The criteria of life have been revisited. A Brain without The Brain, Intuitive Aneural Network, Generated Interim Emergence, and Inscriptional Physics have been introduced. Because of this new knowledge, a self-conscious machine capable of producing its own kind was developed. Along with this, the Science of Autognorics was born.In this book, Joey Lawsin, the formulator of the Single Theory of Everything and Inscription by Design, reveals the secrets and inner workings of ELFS. These engineered lifeforms can see, smell, taste, hear, speak, feel, think, breed, fly, swim, and even die. They are in vivo machinas synonymous with living organisms. Because of their metallic skins, they are sometimes called the Silver Species.

In 1912 a young, American woman, Alice Ross (1890-1980), began a two-year trip around the world. Her itinerary included Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Japan, China, Burma, Siam, India, Turkey, the Levant, Egypt and finally through Europe on the Orient Express. In the history of the earth, few people can have made such a comprehensive and leisurely journey, and essentially none of those would have been attractive, eligible women. "In Honolulu they liked me because I was game for anything in swimming, which counts more than anything there. In New Zealand I seemed more animated and had more initiative than the girls there. In Australia the reputation of the American girl has opened the way there for any who go, and in the Philippines I was simply "a new girl", and there new or old they are few and far between, and there are so many men that I think they would rush even a broomstick in petticoats. Now dear, I take no credit to myself, for I know I'm only an ordinary being, and any girl would have had the very same experiences I had, for many men proposed and begged me to marry them." So Alice summarizes her romantic adventures.Progressive, intrepid, inclusive, athletic, curious, ambitious. Are these the qualities of an Edwardian woman?

Deadtown in the '50s. It's one helluva place. You know the kind. If ever there was a slimy misty wet cesspool of a dive on the dark side of forever, the far wrong dark side of the wrong dark side of the tracks, yeah, that's Deadtown. The seediest slimiest sleaziest hellhole slime pit this side of Purgatory. It's a greasy place, dark and dank, with a misty fog that alternates with a misty rain. It never stops. Never. Buildings teeter on the verge of collapse, catering to the dark slimy seedy sleazy side of life with restaurants and bars and nightclubs and whore houses and drug dens. Beyond lay the hinterlands where misshapen horrors chew on the unsuspecting and spit out flesh and bone. Deadtown isn't a town actually, it's a city. Not much of a city, but it's a city. Occasionally you'll find a special nutcase lurking in the side streets and misty wet alleys. The Sleeper was one such special nutcase. Some would say that he was in a class all by himself. They would probably be right...
