  In 1845, seventeen-year-old Amad Adebayo lives a peaceful life in a small West African village, unaware that fate is about to wrench him from everything he knows. Captured and sold into slavery, Amad Adebayo is torn from his homeland and brought to a plantation near St. Augustine, Florida, where he endures the brutal realities of servitude. But the spirit of freedom burns fiercely within him. Defying the odds, Amad escapes the bands of slavery and sets his sights on a bolder dream—freeing those held in bondage and ending the very system that tried to break him. With honour, courage, and the will to fight back, he commandeers a ship and leads a rebel crew on a ruthless mission to destroy the slave trade. Together, they embrace the treacherous life of piracy—not for gold, but for justice. Sailing the perilous Caribbean and Gulf waters, Amad Adebayo becomes a legend of the seas, striking fear into slavers and hope into the hearts of the oppressed. But freedom is never easily won, and Amad Adebayo must face betrayals, battles, and the ghosts of his past as he charts a dangerous course towards liberation. As he confronts the complexities of freedom and justice, he grapples with his own identity and the moral ambiguities of his quest. Amad's Adebayo story is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the timeless struggle for liberation. The Wages of Freedom is a sweeping epic adventure of resilience, rebellion, and the unbreakable quest for freedom.

  When the Holy Spirit reveled to the author, Ernest Martin, a veterinarian with a medical background, that the spiritual birth was identical to the physical birth, this revelation became a life-changing experience. People are always asking and seeking miracles. What is a greater miracle than a sperm uniting with an ovum (egg) and becoming a living cell with the potential to develop into a human being? That living cell (zygote) does not have any resemblance to a fetus. From the process of fertilization to the growth process, it is all programmed in the zygote to divide and multiply and to eventually liken to its mother or dad or a combination of both. 
  Just like when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become a whole spiritual being in the image of God. We don't look or act much like Jesus at this stage. We look more like the zygote, but we are complete in Jesus. If we desire the sincere milk of the Word and then progress to the meat of the Word, we will grow up into the full stature of Jesus. This process is so well-defined in the physical birth process that we can see how we grow as we spend time in the Word that we may eventually look and act like Jesus Christ. 
  What a miracle and life-changing event to understand the growth process ordained and carried out by God Almighty.

  A Tyranny for the Good of Its...

  Asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own "environmental, social, and governance" or "ESG" agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us. An asset manager's traditional duty is to maximize returns for its investors, but these financial elites expand their duties through "stakeholder capitalism," the idea that a company is responsible not only for its actual shareholders, but for everyone who is affected by the company. Thus, they can impose their preferred ESG goals under the guise of benefiting an amorphous group of non-investors. 
   
   
   
  This elite-dominated economic system is nothing more than socialism in sheep's clothing. "ESG" defines the champagne socialist agenda that would devastate the working and middle classes globally. Now, in the face of rising opposition, these financial elites are rebranding—shifting their terminology to conceal their intent. A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims exposes how these elites have pursued—and will continue to pursue—their ESG goals: to transform our consumer-driven free-market economy into one that is subject to their elitist demands, overriding the will of the people whom they deem incapable of self-government.
