Maine uske trikese kiya Hindi -...

Elizabeth Dias

If spiritual progress is your goal, then there is no substitute for the word of God. We have intertwined our divine prosperity with physical, financial, and sentimental achievements. We must follow that which is fundamental.
You do not need to know how to think or how to act. Success requires listening to the still small voice of God and following His instructions. What makes things happen is obedience to His Word.
When He asked me to write this, I became His author because He asked me to write what He did when I obeyed.
People asked me to write this book, but I said no, I did not want people to know me, but I wanted them to know the Lord.
One afternoon a friend came over and brought some of her friends I had never met.
I did not know that one of them was a prophetess, and as she began to pray for me, she prophesied that I would finish the book that I had started and that it would give glory to God.
Now, during that time, I was very sick. However, negative thoughts kept me from moving forward and the book forgot me.
So when the prophetess said that the book would give glory to God and not to me, it completely changed my mind.
Many things have also prevented you from moving forward because of the liar, Satan, I learned that fear, twisting the word of God, and telling us the opposite of what God wants for us is the mastermind technique of the devil.
What will result from your listening to God instead of the liar? All things are possible. If I can do it, so can you.
May this book lead you to God's higher plan for you to receive all the blessings that can only come from Him.
God is the Author and I am just the humble vessel, He even gave me the title, I did it His way. All glory to God!
I Did It His Way

Wake the Others - A Biography of...

Willy Palomo

Half-memoir, half-biography, Wake The Others wrestles with the legacy of the Salvadoran Civil War. Blending lyric and narrative, Palomo traces his mother’s childhood, war experiences, family separation, migration, and its aftermath. Political without sacrificing craft, confessional without navel-gazing, this debut collection of poetry guides readers through the quagmire of family secrets to a place where healing is possible. 
"Willy Palomo’s outstanding debut takes a scalpel to the heart of biography as a genre, cuts through to the arteries of inherited nostalgia for a motherland, and opens the capillaries of a mama, abuela, and bisabuela’s traumas. This book is a gut wrenching family narrative of the history of violence in El Salvador and a family’s journey north in hope of stability and the possibility of joy. Palomo’s poems are an important and unique addition to the growing voice of Central American writers in the United States.”  
—Natalie Scenters-Zapico, author of The Verging Cities and Lima :: Limón

It's a journey through Olympic mustaches and when Chér's name had an accent and losing your virginity to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a terrible virus and memorials and memorials and memorials and ACTing UP and using the word "lover" and having a fan who's also a serial killer and Gay penguins and spreading your boyfriends' ashes with your new boyfriend and Prop 8 and getting to write lines for divas on Ugly Betty and Gay marriage and more stuff like that and in the end ketamine therapy to help it all make sense.
