Twice pardoned? Did Jerry dare to hope? The chase was over. Nineteen-year-old Jerry Shepherd stares in his rearview mirror at the two policemen approaching his car. He wants to run, make his escape, perhaps his final escape from life. Then he curls his fingers around the small Testament in his back pocket as the words Peace be still whisper through his mind. He holds to those words as he steps from the car to be handcuffed and arrested. Angels at the Crossroads is the compelling true story of Shepherd's amazing journey from wrong doing to redemption. Convicted of a crime he can hardly believe he could have committed, Shepherd faces life in prison and fears not only that he won't survive behind bars, but also that he has stepped beyond the hope of forgiveness. As Shepherd struggles to find his way through the jungle of prison life, he realizes he's not alone. The Lord has placed earth angels along the way to help Jerry discover God's love knows no limits. If you face a crossroads in your life, let Shepherd's inspirational journey help point you to the Lord's pathways of compassion and love.

Angel Morgan has served 25 years of a life sentence. This is the story of her journey from resentment of "the system" to recognition that God has a purpose for her life. Dr. Rosie Klein, Forensic Psychologist, was appointed to evaluate 21- year-old Angel for competency to stand trial on four counts of murder. Angel subsequently agreed to a plea deal in exchange for her testimony against the shooters she was with during the commission of the crimes. The plea deal, which got her life in prison, didn't seem like much of a "deal" to Dr. Klein. She wonders, to this day, if a jury trial might not have been a better choice for Angel. Would her abuse as a child have influenced the jurors? Would her only crime have been judged as "guilt by association? "Their relationship has continued to develop through emails, letters, phone calls, and prison visits. And now, Angel wants her friend to tell her story. It is hoped the reader will come to understand how and why some people choose the wrong path.
This book was written to clarify the endless back and forth arguments societies across the world have on what people should do to alleviate poverty. The ultimate goal of this book is to let people interested in the subject of economics know they are not alone in championing economic facts, over socially acceptable and convenient economic narratives. Within the pages of this book, readers will discover this Economist's answers for why "angelic policies" that were directed at helping the poor (minimum wage, welfare, personal subsidies, etc.) have resulted in sustained poverty for the less fortunate. Be warned there is a reason the study of Economics is known as the "Dismal Science".
Economics is the study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services in a world where resources are scarce. The area that houses these activities is known as an economy. We economists (people who study economics) use theories developed from observing the outcomes of economic activities to advise people on the impact that changes in public policy would have on consumers and businesses. It is ultimately up to the citizens and their politicians to use our advice to determine how they want to operate their economy to achieve their production, distribution, and consumption goals. Unfortunately, economists are usually ignored. And the facts/conclusions we present are bastardized by the people who do not like what the science of economics has to say about the effects of public programs aimed at addressing poverty and inequality (e.g., providing government welfare). Economists find themselves in this position because they point out that, despite noble intentions, these popular programs do not deliver positive long-term results.

Inez Haynes Irwin (March 2, 1873 - September 25, 1970) was an American feminist author, journalist, member of the National Women's Party, and president of the Authors Guild. Many of her works were published under her former name Inez Haynes Gillmore. She wrote over 40 books and was active in the suffragist movement in the early 1900s. Irwin was a "rebellious and daring woman", but referred to herself as "the most timid of created beings". Irwin was a close friend of the American feminist writer Mary MacLane, who included a colorful personality portrait of Irwin in her newspaper articles in Butte, Montana, in 1910.

While angels have played a decisive role in all the world's major religions and continue to loom large in the popular religious and creative imagination, modern theology has tended to ignore or trivialize them. The comparatively few scholarly works on angels over the last century have typically interpreted them as mere symbols and metaphors: they are said to offer glimpses not of the divine order, but of human desires, anxieties, and ideologies. Angelology has collapsed into anthropology. By contrast, this polemical book argues for the indispensable importance of studying angels as divinely created beings, for theology at large, and for understanding the defining doctrine of monotheistic religions in particular. Additionally, the book contends that the spirit of modern science did not originate with the so-called Scientific Revolution but was actually inspired centuries earlier by the angelological lucubrations of medieval scholastics.
