  The New Slave Masters

  It's SLAVERY all over again! The New Slavemasters that are destroying hopes and dreams in families and relationships are even more threatening than their whip-wielding predecessors. These new Slavemasters’ evil-rooted forces – drugs, gangs, violence, racism, materialism, deception, teen pregnancy, and sexual promiscuity – still WALK AND LIVE AMONG US. 
  Nearly two centuries ago, Satan used mankind’s deeply rooted sin that resulted in humanity enslaving a race of God’s creation—African-Americans. In this new day when African-Americans enjoy complete freedom, there are new, insidious Slavemasters that work outside civilized law and labor to ensnare black families —and for that matter, families of all races. 
  This book provides a blueprint for restoration and strengthening of African American families. The term, The New Slavemasters, comes from my experiences of present-day enslavement of prevailing temptations and devastation of plagues that wrought the inner city suburbs in my community, resulting in self-imposed slavery and family destruction. When Christians [born-again] and non-Christians fail to recognize the bondage and break the chains that destroy our entire nation, they lose their freedom and volunteer to re-enter into forms of slavery. 
  This entire book helps give awareness of how to break free from and remain free of The New Slavemasters. Reader’s Study Guide, Chapter notes, questions and answers, true stories and illustrations are inserted to support and encourage Bible-study groups, scriptural understanding, and prayer devotions against the assault of the new Slavemasters. 
  The book begins with a mother trying desperately to save her son’s life that was impacted by drugs and “dirty” (drug) money. But, in the endless struggle to free her son from these new Slavemasters’ hold on him, tragedy occurs – he dies before her very eyes.

  A coastal town divided. A community in exile. A fight for justice that shook the Gulf.
   
  The Fishermen and the Dragon is a powerful, real-life thriller that blends civil rights, environmental crime, and cultural collision into one unforgettable narrative. Set in the fishing towns of Texas in the 1970s and 80s, it tells the true story of Vietnamese refugees fleeing war—only to face hostility, racism, and violence from the Ku Klux Klan and petrochemical giants.
   
  But this is more than a story of conflict. It’s a story of courage. Of immigrants and locals uniting against pollution, intimidation, and injustice. Of communities transforming pain into purpose and resistance into renewal.
   
  Through deeply human storytelling and gripping investigative detail, this audiobook explores what happens when ordinary people refuse to stay silent—choosing instead to lead, protect, and rise together.
   
  If you believe that real leadership begins at the grassroots, that legacy is forged in resilience, and that justice is a fight worth waging, this is a story you’ll never forget.
   
  The dragon was real. So were the heroes who faced it.

  Inquiry into the Human Mind An -...

  Though now little known outside specialist philosophical circles, the Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid (1710-1796) is remembered both for the founding of the Scottish School of Common Sense and his major work, An Inquiry into the Human Mind: on the Principles of Common Sense (1764).  
   
  With his feet firmly on the ground, he challenged the speculative ideas of David Hume and George Berkeley, who regarded ideas in the mind as a basis for the external world. Instead, the pugnacious but lively Reid took a much more ‘common sense’ view in basing his ideas of reality on sensus communis. Starting from a Ciceronian, stoical platform, he developed his views on more rational attitudes towards reality - ‘direct realism’. In embarking upon An Inquiry he took a critical stance specifically against John Locke and the Treatise of Human Nature (1739) as he declared in his opening statement. ‘I THOUGHT it unreasonable...upon the authority of philosophers, to admit a hypothesis, which, in my opinion, overturns all philosophy, all religion and virtue, and all common sense: and finding that all the systems concerning the human understanding which I was acquainted with, were built upon this hypothesis, I resolved to inquire into this subject anew, without regard to any hypothesis. WHAT I now humbly present...is the fruit of this inquiry, so far only as it regards the five senses; in which I claim no other merit, than that of having given great attention to the operations of my own mind, and of having expressed, with all the perspicuity I was able, what I conceive every man, who gives the same attention, will feel and perceive.’ 
   
  Thomas Reid became professor of moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow, which underscored his importance, though he swam against the main philosophical tide. Even Hume, on reading An Inquiry, acknowledged that the work ‘is wrote in a lively and entertaining manner’. By restricting himself to an examination of the five senses ‘and the principles of human mind which are employed about’...Reid concluded ‘we have attempted an inquiry only into one little corner of the human mind; that corner which seems to be most exposed to vulgar observation, and to be most easily comprehended’. An Inquiry is read in a characterful manner by James Gillies.

  Are We Bodies or Souls?

  What are humans? What makes us who we are? 
   
    
   
  Many think that we are just complicated machines, or animals that are different from machines only by being conscious. In Are We Bodies or Souls? Richard Swinburne comes to the defense of the soul and presents new philosophical arguments that are supported by modern neuroscience. When scientific advances enable neuroscientists to transplant a part of brain into a new body, he reasons, no matter how much we can find out about their brain activity or conscious experiences we will never know whether the resulting person is the same as before or somebody entirely new. Swinburne thus argues that we are immaterial souls sustained in existence by our brains. Sensations, thoughts, and intentions are conscious events in our souls that cause events in our brains. While scientists might discover some of the laws of nature that determine conscious events and brain events, each person's soul is an individual thing and this is what ultimately makes us who we are.
