"Love" was the hardest book ever for me to write. "Love" was also my favorite book I have ever written. I started "Love" in 2007 and put the finishing touches on it in 2020. "Love" took every bit of emotion out of me to finish. At one time during another computer crash I lost all but the pdf file and it was nearly impossible to convert back to an editable format. I was so overwhelmed with suicidal depression, anger and insanity I felt God did not love me anymore. I assure you this much; God is love and He loves you so much. For me at that time I had to wonder if there was even love in this world and so I had to put "Love" down. In early 2017 I realized God supplied all my basic needs. God kept a roof over my head, food in the trailer, and kept me at the mission when I was homeless for a month. I owe extreme gratitude to God, my family, and to Jesus Christ who saved me from my sins and set me on the road leading to everlasting life. God knows my suffering though I know others have lost so much more. This book is to those that are suffering and those in a prison both in reality and those bound in Satan's grips of depression or mental illness. This book is written for the healing of the soul. This book talks of the love between man and woman and compares it to the LOVE our God has for us. Over the years I learned as the Apostle Paul spoke that here abides faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love. I have come back to this book several times over the years to add more pages and make changes but I assure you God's love is the same and He hasn't lost his love for you.

I wrote Stop the Violence after being in jail and prison. I saw all the terrible things happening and wanted to find a way to keep people from becoming convicts and direct them to God and the Bible. This book speaks of the many problems illegal drugs can create in our lives. There are serious problems that addictions bind so many in these chains. I wanted to write a book to teens and adults that would cause people to think before getting into drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and the crimes that seem to come with addictions. Even pornography, and sex addictions can ruin marriages, families, and lives. When I was in prison I told one of my doctors I wanted to build a website and books that would help teens and adults and steer them away from addictive behaviors. They all laughed at me and told me I could never do that. For nearly two decades I ran into road block after road block being stopped at every turn. Now the turn is headed right straight to Jesus because I chose his ways. Friend if you know someone who is struggling whether it is a child or whomever this book will help. I am hoping this book, though Christian in content can make it into schools as well. All praise and glory of these books be to my God who gave me the eyes to write, and fingers to type. I have had both my hands and eyes under attack. Also there were strange software and computer problems that I knew were because Satan doesn't want what I am doing. While God healed my hands, he also healed my eyes from glaucoma. Amen

This book is nicely formatted with great pictures in black and white. My first poem I wrote was out at sea in the US Marines. I wrote it for my aunt when my uncle passed. I began to write more and more poetry over the years. My first poems were written as a hard core atheist. Sadly all those poems were lost as were many others in multiple computer crashes. At the age of 28 my life fell apart and destruction hit me from all sides. I looked up to the stars at night and I vowed to God if you can get me through these coming years of extreme difficulty I will be a preacher for you. That vow God answered with a return to my freedom, however, I must say I had originally fallen far short of God's glory. At first I said to myself I will be like Billy Graham and have a huge ministry and make lots of money. I paid that sin to the max. After prison I experienced even more mental insanity as well as extreme poverty. Through extreme hardships, insanity, anger, suicidal depression and overall emotional overload, I compiled a book of Christian poetry which I originally published here on Amazon. Still something was missing. I worked hard giving away the greater half of my poems to people that needed spiritual healing. People say I am extremely talented in poetry but all glory goes to Lord Jesus Christ. These poems appeal to all ages and are written for both men and women. All of the poems are written from the heart. If you struggle or are going through deep depression this book is for you. I have poems about God's love for you, as well as poems about love in relationships, and lost loves, even in death. I have a Thanksgiving poem and poems for bringing newborns into this world, as well as Christmas poems that celebrate LORD Jesus Christ. If you are a Christian or a person who just likes good poetry, or even someone that hates poetry this book is for you. In my life I have suffered at the hand of Satan for well over two decades. While I tried to give my books away for free on the internet no one was reading them at least no one that I know of. Since 1998 I first got in trouble and I started writing for the LORD God Almighty. It is an interesting story in how I used my GI Bill to help me earn my AA in General Education at Shasta College in Redding California. I worked hard to earn that degree which I planned to finish my role playing game, "The World of Total Chaos." I wanted to be the best role playing game designer ever, but that silly season ended as soon as Satan retracted his golden hand. What I failed to do as an ungodly atheist I later succeeded as a strong Christian. Though my life wasn't about high ranking websites, big book sales, or preaching in pulpits I succeeded the day I accepted Christ into my life amen. I know you will love this poetry book as my poetry is not like other poets. I write from the heart and with Christ's love with an anointing only God can give. I have created a beautiful masterpiece that without God I could never have came to this high point in my life.
