Stephanie, Monique and Cheryl are three high powered women, one is married and two are not. So how did all three end up with the same man? Two of whom attend the same church. Do they really believe the words coming out of their Pastor's mouth on Sunday morning? Or are they simply playing a role? Church hat on, hands raised in praise, belting out a "hallelujah," gleaming smile and the baddest suit known to man, a costume, the perfect embodiment carefully hidden behind a Church Face. www.lisawalkerthomas.com
For My Sisters is a collection of poems that gets to the heart of the matter as they lend credence to the various moods and attitudes we often find ourselves in. Through the pages of this book you'll find a poem entitled, "Dishonored Sister" it turns the mirror on our sisters who have agreed to share a married man with his wife. We also have the poem entitled, "The Angry Sister," in this poem we acknowledge that there are angry sisters out there, but we go deeper in that we try to look beyond the anger to see how our sister may have gotten that way. For My Sisters also takes a look at the lives of the Sister Giver, the Church Girl, and Sister Peace to name a few. As always thank you for agreeing to take this journey with me perhaps you'll see yourself or someone you know in the poems in this book, whatever the case I hope you enjoy it as you take some time for you. Blessings in Abundance! www.lisawalkerthomas.com
Kendall, Sabrina, and Gabrielle have more in common than good genes, status, and a French manicure. Sabrina is married to Marcus James, an NBA star, but behind closed doors she's a paper wife, that is a wife on paper only. Gabrielle was dumped by Brian the love of her life, when without rhyme or reason he called her an average chick and walked out on her, that's when she grabbed hold of Aaron, a sweat-suit wearing, ketchup-stained, loud mouthed fiasco. Kendall's been with Jason for three years but after he lost his job she became certain the only reason he's with her is for food, shelter, and an endless stream of cash. Will each of these women continue to accept fractional love served on a conditional platter? Will they continue to pretend like they have a man, happy to settle for what they know is a lie? www.lisawalkerthomas.com
NU SOCIETY IN A NU AGE Creating the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth This presentation spells out a step-by-step process of correcting the corrections system in order to correct the society, as follows: Our corrections system is by far the largest in the world, with 25% of all prisoners in the world in our prisons, even though we only have 5% of the world's population. PEACE PLEASE proposes that through our experimental prison program called "Project Nu Life": 1. we can create a model program that trains prisoners in the behaviors of a responsible citizen so that they do not return to crime and prison; 2. which will thereby become a model for systematically reducing crime in the larger society; 3. which will thereby become a model for reducing law enforcement, security measures, courts, jails, and prisons; 4. which will thereby become a model for restructuring the larger society based on the model of this successful prison program. How would this work? "Project Nu Life" provides: Twelve Essential Services to Prevent Released Prisoners from Returning to Crime and Prison 1. training in the behaviors of a responsible citizen 2. job training and jobs 3. low-income and rent-to-own housing 4. financial assistance 5. health insurance 6. literacy training 7. a support network 8. seeing prisoners as good people with bad behaviors, not as bad people 9. forgiveness and non-condemnation 10. mutually supportive male-female relationships 11. encouraging our prisoners to strive for a higher purpose in life than the accumulation of material possessions 12. a retirement income
"NU GLOBALISM IN A NU AGE--Truly Uniting Our Nations" 1. Every ten seconds, a child dies from starvation somewhere in the world, totaling about three million a year. 2. Every 20 seconds, a child dies from contaminated water somewhere in the world, totaling about two million a year. 3. Every 30 seconds, a child dies from malaria somewhere in the world, totaling about one million a year. 4. We have a 17 packet that could give a child the nutrition they need every day. 5. We have a 10 packet that could purify a child's water every day. 6. We have a $10 malaria net that lasts three years, and we need about $1 per day in medicines to keep a child from dying of malaria. 7. We should have our richest citizens and our richest countries pay for the delivery of these minimum services to the least of our children on the planet, so that we can love our neighbors as ourselves and so that we can be our brother's keeper, or we will not be able to live together in peace on this planet as a single global family. 8. Instead, we will continue to be in a constant state of war with each other like a bunch of animals living according to the law of the jungle. 9. Which is it going to be, America? It is time to stand up and be counted.
NU SPIRITUALITY IN A NU AGE--FROM THE LAWS OF THE JUNGLE TO THE LAWS OF LOVE takes the position that we cannot hope to attain peace on our planet without sharing a spiritual foundation for that peace, and we are very fortunate in this regard: - When we compare ten of the greatest religions all around the world, we find that they concur on at least 50 behaviors and beliefs at about a 95% level of agreement. - Further, we find that these ten religions fall rather clearly into two separate groups--first what we call "evolutionary" religions in the East, meaning they develop "naturally"--Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism; and second what we call "revealed" religions in the West, meaning they develop by "revelation" from higher spiritual entities than those on earth--The Old Testament, The New Testament, the Koran, the Book of Mormon, The Urantia Book, A Course in Miracles, The Revealed Translation of John's Revelation Given by the Lord Jesus Christ, and The Historical Fulfillment of John's Revelation as Revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ. - Further, when we compare these eight different "Bibles" that contain the texts of the single revealed religion in the West, we find that they all tell very much the same story, with at least 25 characters--including one pair of artifacts --which appear rather consistently throughout these eight Bibles. Their appearances range from Jesus, who appears is all eight of these Bibles, to the pair of artifacts called "Urim and Thummim," which were used to "translate" religious texts, and which appear in two of these eight Bibles: 1. Jesus, 2.Gabriel, 3. Melchizedek, 4. Adam and Eve, 5. Noah, 6. Abraham, 7. Lot, 8. Ishmael, 9. Isaac, 10. Jacob, 11. Joseph, 12. Moses, 13. Aaron, 14. Joshua, 15. David, 16. Solomon, 17. Elizabeth, the Mother of John the Baptist, 18. Zacharias, the Father of John the Baptist, 19. John the Baptist, 20. Mary, the Mother of Jesus, 21. Joseph, the Father of Jesus, 22. Simon Peter, Jesus' Apostle, 23. James Zebedee, Jesus' Apostle, 24. John Zebedee, Jesus' Apostle and Author of the Book of Revelation, 25. Urim and Thummim. - It is the purpose of this book on a "nu approach to spirituality" to present all of these religions and Bibles in such a fashion that their similarities and differences become clear in order to help bring peace to our planet. It is not going to be easy to bring peace to a planet with as many problems as we have, but it is going to be an exhilarating experience using all of these highest spiritual teachings available to us to do it, and to exhaust the rest of our lives to help accomplish it. Our guarantee of success is that we have our most revered spiritual teacher to guide us through it all --Jesus. So let's join our efforts in this greatest of all endeavors to bring peace to our planet, then not stop until it is done; and use the common spiritual principles of all these religions to help us defeat Global Warming as a unified planet.
