    The Nok civilization is one of the most fascinating and mysterious ancient cultures of West Africa. It flourished between approximately 1500 BCE and 500 CE, making it one of the earliest known complex societies in sub-Saharan Africa. The Nok people are best known for their remarkable terracotta sculptures, which provide valuable insights into their artistry, beliefs, and way of life. Despite their historical significance, much about the Nok civilization remains unknown, leaving archaeologists and historians to piece together their story from scattered artifacts and excavation sites. 
    The first discovery of Nok artifacts occurred in 1928, when British archaeologist Bernard Fagg came across a series of terracotta figurines in central Nigeria. These artifacts, found near the village of Nok, revealed an advanced artistic style that was distinct from any previously known African culture. The sculptures depicted human figures with intricate hairstyles, elaborate jewelry, and expressive facial features, suggesting a highly developed artistic tradition. This discovery marked the beginning of a deeper exploration into the Nok civilization, leading to further excavations that uncovered tools, pottery, and evidence of early ironworking. 
    One of the most significant aspects of Nok’s discovery was its role in the history of metallurgy in Africa. Archaeological findings suggest that the Nok people were among the earliest in West Africa to practice iron smelting, a technological advancement that contributed to agricultural development and societal growth. The presence of iron tools indicates that they engaged in farming, hunting, and trade, supporting the idea that Nok society was well-organized and economically active.

    Resilience in The Rain is about being courageous during the most volatile times of life. It is about being a friend to those who others have shut out and it is about being fair to all mankind. This book touches on believing in yourself, dealing with mental illness and the affects it has on our professionals who are trained to service the community. The difficult decisions on the job, that are experienced, while having to serve and protect our fellow citizens, in the most turbulent situations, is touched upon throughout the audiobook. It is about learning to have patience and listening to each others dreams, losses, and sticking together throughout one anothers internal struggles. Resilience In The Rain is about not magnifying how big your troubles are but magnifying how big your God is. It is about respecting all races, gender, and religions that focus on the goodness in life for all cultures. Resilience In The Rain is a followup to (my paperback, Abundance In The Thunder, a book about hope) and it aims to encourage and inspire the world through honest words and true intentions of peace and love.

    This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over. 
    I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information. 
    When I look at my own love affair with the art of our time, I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me—setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking—that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied. 
    I have come to the conclusion that the key to unlocking the magic of modern and contemporary art is in the ability to immerse oneself in the art and truly "experience" it. So, the obvious and most vital question becomes, "How does one learn to experience modern and contemporary art?" That is the work of this book.
