Author: Mark Lee Binding: epub e-book ISBN: 978-0-9867253-1-9 Publisher: Abeng Press The decade of the 1970s was one of revolution for the Jamaican and other Caribbean youth. This revolution was as profound as it was stealthy. Nowhere is this more evident than in the tumultuous experience of Rasta youth. These youthful rebels embraced the heritage of suffering and struggle bequeathed to them by generations of their African ancestors and with grit and determination forged a vehicle of social transformation. Author Mark Lee had a hand in the forging of that vehicle. Now he turns this very hand to the writing of a tract (story) that both captures the drama and pinpoints some salient lessons of that historic period. Yvonne and Jerry, a young Rastafari couple, are assailed by drug smugglers, partisan thugs in and out of uniform, and sophisticated psychopaths of the left and right waging a domestic Cold War - with Cuban and American support - for political power.

Author: B. Richard Nicholson Binding: e-book ISBN: 978-0-9867253-0-2 Publisher: Abeng Press Number of pages: For Christians, it's the way they live and their relationship with God and fellow-humans that matter in eternal terms. The way we live is largely determined by what we hold to be true. If what's held to be true is flawed, so is the life that's guided by it. The question isn't so much, 'are we serious about what we believe?' as it is, 'what do we believe?' For, in all seriousness, what's the point in being serious about that which cannot be taken seriously? Starting with his own Seventh-day Adventist milieu, B. Richard Nicholson deconstructs some of the orthodox Biblical misinterpretations that feed the sordid stereotypes of Christians as freaks. This candid book is not so much a call to steadfast faith, or even a call to implicit trust in the Bible as God's word, as it is a call to see the Bible for what it actually says. Whether you are a believer or not, ordinary reader or academic, you are bound to find Hold It Right There, Mister Preacher either exhilarating or infuriating. Get it now for your digital reader. Available in epub, mobi andf pdf formats.
