My Inner City Blues (eBook, ePUB)

Views from My Reality

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Thought-provoking insight into the reality of the inner city and from the perception of a member of the Beloved Community. These poems are a collection of both the physical and spiritual dilemmas faced as one struggles to make sense of a world that appears to care little for the people and forgets the message it sends for those who are supposed to be civilized and models to aspire to become. This book speaks to the need to speak truth to power regardless of how the reality appears. For those looking to try to understand how one can stand in the middle of chaos and still believe God is on their side and that God will make a way and bring them out of the darkness of poverty, fear, low self-esteem and lack of hope this is an eye-opening, faith-building must-read. The poems are timeless as the situations and the reality of learned helplessness remains unchanged. Written in easy to read language using ebonics, euphemisms, and common terms make this book palatable food for thought.

Autorenporträt

Growing up in a home filled with domestic violence and teen pregnancy, being a single parent, a survivor of horrific trauma provided first-hand, experience for the insight for this book. Other written works include "A Long Journey," a Theis on "Can Christian Education Help People with Bulimia," "Separate but Equal," and "A June to Remember." I am an Ordained Minister, former Prison Chaplain, and was elected to four terms to the Board of Directors for the State of Kansas for Disability Rights; two as Secretary/Treasurer, and two as Vice President. I served on many grassroots organizations to help prison reform, and justice for the least, the lost, the last, the left-out, and the left-behind. I have been a Pastoral Care Counselor in the United Kingdom and United States of America for more than ten years and in ministry for more than thirty years. I earned two Master's Degree's with Honors from the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia after earning a Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration and Political Science from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, along with Certification in Non-Profit Management.
