Sympathetic Testimonials

This book is a compilation of true life experiences of mine with exception of Salt in the Wound and Wolf fight. They tell of how life’s experiences will and can affect one’s mental and physical stability and the necessity of others to help a person who may have similar experiences. Even though they survey sadness they ultimately portray one’s approach to reality after the experience. They also can be taken as warnings on what to steer clear of.

The Lazarus Operation

It was the end of one war and the beginning of another. World War II was over and the new war, the ‘Cold War’, had begun. It was thus called because it would not be fought with bullets and bombs, but with propaganda and intelligence, a.k.a. spying. The adversaries were groups like the KGB, CIA and MI6. The largest of these groups, the KGB, hatched a plan to install a ‘mole’ in its No. 1 enemy, the USA. To effect the plan it would require ‘replacing’ a citizen with a known background.

Satan Christianity’s Other God: Legend, Myth, Lore, or Lie

This iconoclastic work brings a revolutionary perspective on the concept of Satan. Going deeper than simply showing that Satan is a construction of religious culture; Satan Christianity’s Other God explores how the belief in a supernatural Satan, is equal to believing in more than one God. Many of us who have been raised in religion are surprised to learn that the God of the Scripture tells us there is no such thing as a supernatural Satan.

In Volume one of the 4 volume Imagine No Satan Series, James R. Brayshaw, author and researcher from Western Canada, takes the reader on a journey through the Scriptures and history. Sharing what he has learned since opting out of the institutional religion he was raised in, liberating insights are offered. Brayshaw’s work has cracked open the prison of traditional belief in Satan to free the reader to see how the Satan of Christianity was not created by God. Together we discover that Satan never existed in the theology of the people of God until they spent time among cultures steeped in mythology… So why should he exist in our theology today?

Piece by piece the Scriptures are explained to show how the well-known passages about Satan, have been tragically misapplied by those who have a preconceived belief in a cosmic Satan. In this timely tome the Satan we used to know is handily dismantled. Readers are shown how the belief in a cosmic Satan has been thrust onto bible passages that have nothing to say about such an entity.

As man struggles to understand the Creator, becoming free of a belief in Satan takes us a long way towards understanding the God of Scripture.

If you are undaunted by hard questions about your beliefs, then start today with this volume. Join the thousands who have found a refreshed outlook on who God is by learning why Satan is not like what they have been told.

Cynbel et Zothia : Hommage a Haïti roman

Cynbel et Zothia est un roman d’amour d’une portée universelle qui suggère à ses lecteurs de découvrir un nouvel univers, à la fois cocasse, captivant et distinctif de par la texture de ses personnages et les vertus historiques noblement révélées et soigneusement traduites dans un langage romanesque et chantant.

Cynbel et Zothia sont deux jeunes conquérants élevés dans la stricte tradition de la bourgeoisie et de la province haïtiennes, destinés à la profession d’avocat. Ils se cherchaient pendant longtemps sans le savoir, jusqu’à ce qu’une troublante circonstance les entraîne dans un tourbillon insaisissable où leurs vertus réciproques vont, au bout du compte, se plier aux exigences irréductibles des rituels de leurs pères pour l’accomplissement de leur dessein.

Comme on dit, entre avoir une idée et la mettre sur le papier, il y a un monde. Le stress de la feuille blanche n’est pas un mythe, et c’est pourquoi l’écriture est un art. En ce sens, Roland Rodené, né à Les Anglais, Haïti a bien su en faire usage pour exposer au monde l’autre facette de la société haïtienne et l’authenticité de sa foi en Jésus-Christ, qu’il croit être au-dessus de toute chose.

Cynbel et Zothia est une oeuvre littéraire d’une éloquence historique, chrétienne et Culturelle très émouvante. C’est à lire par toutes celles et tous ceux auxquels échappe l’autre dimension de la société haïtienne, facteur d’émerveillement et d’espoir.
