Vividly illustrated and suspensefully crafted, SOW BELLY AND THE STRANGER is a story both whimsical and serious, an adroit blend of mystery and adventure, with a festive variety of poignant, arresting and eccentric farm-yard characters. SOW BELLY, an affable pig, is woken early one morning by BATTY THE BAT, who has been frightened by the sight of a mysterious stranger encountered in the orchard near the farm where they live. The stranger, Batty informs her, looks like a man but isn't a man, and Sow Belly decides to investigate. She seeks help from BASIL THE ROOSTER, but Basil is a narcissistic fop who spends most of his time staring at his reflection in a mirror, and he refuses to accompany her to the orchard. GRIZZLE, a disgruntled rat, also refuses to help; but he affirms that he encountered the stranger - who looks like a man yet isn't a man - earlier that morning. When Sow Belly asks HERMA, a nervous hen, about the stranger Herma runs away frightened and alarmed. Next, Sow Belly visits her husband, BOAR BELLY, at his office in the pig-sty where he edits The Daily Fodder, the farm newspaper. He pays little attention to his wife and even doubts that the stranger really exists. And finally, arrogantly he advises her to investigate the situation herself, alone, if she is so inclined. Sow Belly next encounters DEBBIE THE DUCK, who has heard about the stranger and, eager for adventure, asks to accompany Sow Belly to the orchard on her formidable search. The two friends commence their intrepid journey and along the way come across GAYE, a friendly cow, and HERB THE WORM, both of whom agree to join the investigation, and the group anxiously proceeds across the meadow to the orchard where the stranger is supposed to be hiding. They are frightened, in the orchard, when they observe a spooky pair of eyes watching them among the branches of an apple tree, and a peculiar furry hand - which also resembles an animal's paw - soon appears. An unusual face, in which the features of a man and those of a beast are mingled, pokes out among the leaves. Sow Belly assures the creature that he is not in any danger and she encourages him to climb down from the tree and make friends with them. The story continues as Sow Belly and her companions earnestly comfort this strange "e;creature"e;-who is lost-and they help their new friend to find a way back home. Additional characters include BRAINY HARE THE RABBIT; a bug named MR. FLYSPECK; and CLODHOPPER THE HORSE. As uniquely winsome as it is instructive, SOW BELLY AND THE STRANGER will enchant, intrigue and entertain adults as well as children of many different ages, with equal delight.

Templates - a Draft of Poems is a volume composed of eighty poems by the author and writer Frank McGillion. Thematically the works are diverse and include both traditional and modern forms. Many emphasize a style of writing evident in some of his literary work where focusing on nature is used as metaphor more radically than usual. This almost pantheistic setting is used at times to profound effect. However the works include more conventional techniques and have a mosaic of themes pertinent to the art of poetry. Varied, imaginative and strongly evocative, Templates - a Draft of Poems, is a highly original body of work.

The Mystery of the Twelve Paternal Gods is a book for the century because of the mystery surrounding our paternal birth. There is a spiritual parallel between our physical paternal birth and the spiritual lineage. The paternal spirit is the type of the father's spirit which solely decides the type of the spirit of the child, and which solely contributes the "e;breath of life"e; itself to the child at conception. This is as automatic, of a natural (spiritual) process, and out of the hands of the child's father, as is pregnancy in a woman, and her body growing the child's body. Without the father, the mother's body grows the child's body, and the man also just as essentially contributes to the life of the child, by solely contributing the spirit by which the child is multiplied, and in this has the breath of life. This mystery explains how the father's ntoro or the spirit along with the soul interacts to form the child. This is the reason why the generational curses are passed on to a child are indicated to only come from the paternal ancestors of a child, and not the mother or the maternal ancestors, but do come from paternal ancestors on the maternal line. As you read this book you will understand the reason for some problems you are going through because there are traits in our lives which are really affecting us negatively.

The most startling book you will read is the one you didn't see coming. My book-concerning a former bishop of Nancy (Saint Calpicius) who has been granted permission to return to earth (incognito) to restore his reputation. His return puts him in Paris in 1919, just at the end of the World War I. This is where his misadventures begin. Mr. Andre Marten (Saint Calpicius) begins his quest by immersing himself in the literary and art scenes of this very hopeful time in human history. He has a short term only to wine and dine Parisians in what turns out to be a failed campaign for redemption. The lessons lie within, but the clarity of what he is learning is not revealed until the bitter end.
In the Hidden Scars Collection, the Poet uses Covid19 quarantine moments to recollect his mind on his life's inspirational philosophy on Love and Loss, Suffering and Success, Politics and Power, Choices and Chances, Pain and Passion,and Life and Death. In March 2020, Governmant of Uganda announced a national Lockdown in response to the global Covid19 Pandemic. The Lockdown was accompanied by a global stay home, stay safe campaign which lead the poet to a life in solitude reading and writing at home. The sad moments of solitude inspired the Writer to draft, write and compile inspirational poems from reflections in his life and pened his first poem on Covid19 which he published on Facebook and eventually in the book Musings During a Time of Pandemic: A World Anthology of Poems on COVID-2019 titled Quarantine in Gulu edited and compiled by Dr. Christopher Okemwa. Finding his poetic voice, the poet penned more than 50 poems in 12 months as he clocked the magical age of 40 in May 2020 by spending most of his troubled unemployed life and love life, midlife crisis reflecting on Love and Loss, and Suffering and Success. Previously in 2016, the Poet had unsuccessfully campaigned for the elective political office of Mayor of Gulu Municipality (now City). The year 2020/2021 was also a national election year, and the poet had to decide either to run again or drop politics. Since he dropped politics and chose a private life to a public life; he also spent most of his private life in solitude reading, researching and writing on the themes like politics and power, Choices and Chances. After surviving contracting Covid19 numerous times after friends within his social connections contracted Covid19 infection; the poet in his writings reflects more on Faith and Fear, and Life and Death. The Poet as a motivational speaker and scholar has always treasured sharing his life's miseries and opportunities in a way that inspires others who could find healing and meaning from his past experiences. He uses his poetic voice as a mirror of the conscience of those whose life paths are similar to his life's experiences. Hence, he reflects and writes more on Suffering and Success. The purpose of this poetic compilation is to share his life's inspirational philosophy by offering a voice to those whose voices are barely heard and to contribute to the already chanting voices on similar themes of life. While these are the poets philosophical life reflections that defined his life story; it is in no way a gospel truth on how to live life but one other tried and tasted alternative philosophy of life that could inspire your life to love, success and power.
This book that you have in your hand is going to surprise many believers in JESUS because of their beliefs about the Trinity God. In fact, this book will also help anyone how to interpret Scriptures, especially Genesis 1:26-27; John 1:1; 3:16. I encourage you to read it and you won't become ignorant anymore of who JESUS was in the Old and New Testaments. I believe you will have an open mind in wanting to know JESUS as the everlasting Father. It sounds contradicting, but you have to read the Book to understand it. Of course, the Bible is not contradicting.

The Wheat and Tares and the Ten Virgins are two parables that are not often talked about by theologians, bishops, and the fivefold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. And this is due in part, in my opinion, because there is an obscurity as to who are the tares and the five foolish virgins in those parables that the Lord Jesus is referring to, who are not only in the world, but also who call the Lord Jesus as their Savior. So, the tares that I'm going to put a spotlight on are those preachers and false teachers of God's word be they called Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Elder, Father, Minister, Reverend, Dr. Reverend, Reverend Dr, whatever title these tare preachers and false teachers of God's word prefer. And of the doctrines the devils that have been sown, through them, into the body of Christ, as well as who are the five foolish virgins out of the Ten who got left behind.
Dave Sweeney wrote Guide to American History, because he would like to have other Americans share in what he has experienced himself. From shore to shore, America is full of historical points that made us into the greatest nation ever. The best history is found in the small towns on old 2 lane roads, not on the interstate. Visit with the locals, ask them questions and learn about America. Dave's hope is that every parent buys his book, and takes it with them as they travel. When they enter a state, look up its history, visit it with your family, and learn what took place there. Visit the sites, the museums and learn about "e;US"e;. Happy trails as you explore the history of America.
