The Song of Our Father (cf. The Song of Hiawatha) is the story of a patriarch of the Niger Delta in West Africa, told in poetry like its homophonic cousin, and rhymed in 29 of 30 chapters. The Prologue flashes back to 1834 when the British explorer Richard Lander made his second expedition to the area and was killed while passing through the protagonist''s home town, Angiama. Interestingly, the forebears of John Lander, Richard''s brother and co-explorer - Megan and Emily - made an anniversary trip in 2004 to mark the 200th birthday of Richard Lander''s birth. The Frank-Opigo family made contact with them through the British High Commission in Nigeria to encourage them to come down the River Niger as far as Angiama, the point where Richard died. That "event" is captured in the Epilogue.Between the Prologue and the Epilogue is a microscopic story of Nigeria and the Niger Delta, told through the life of Nicholas Abo Frank-Opigo, 1926 - 2010. Snapshots of Nigeria''s pre-independence, independence, the Biafra civil war and its aftermath, are all retold in a new perspective and with fresh details. The culture of the people of the Niger Delta underline sections of the narrative. Certain previously untold details of the Biafran warlord, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, come to light, as the protagonist was one of his provincial Administrators. Above all, it is the poignant story of a man, told by his son, who grew up in challenging circumstances and rose through sheer gumption from grass to grace - to gasp.

The story is set in rural Louisiana in the 1950s and describes the antics of young boys growing up in the South where family, hard work and a belief in God are important. It is comical by nature as it describes their attempts at relieving the drudgery and boredoms that come with living. The story follows the life of the Britton family in Catahoula Parish and their interactions with neighbors and friends. The main characters of the story are Snooks Britton and his brother Lil'Ray. Trouble seems to always follow Lil'Ray but generally lands on anyone with him. There is a bear hunt disguised as a bear hunt that turns into an encounter with a wild hog. Snooks, Lil'Ray and their friends manage to burn down an illegal whiskey operation that is tied to the Louisiana Mafia. The area is rural and poor so not only do the people work to make a living; they work hard to entertain themselves. Some of these attempts backfire creating laughable situations that make for years of good yarns at social gatherings.

Christ My Healer and Deliverer is the testimony of a woman's journey from sin to redemption. God restored her, and now she is doing what he desires for her life. "I felt as though I was having a nightmare, but that was impossible. My eyes were wide open. All the things I did were against everything I once stood for. How did I allow myself to get to this place? I loved God and had served him from my youth, but I fell right into the devil's trap. How could I be so foolish and allow a man to separate me from my God? It was so strange being where I was and not being able to hear from him. God was still there; it was me who had moved. When I finally came to my senses and called on God to help me, he lifted me out of the pit I was in. God cleansed me and got me back on track. I am now headed in the right direction and fulfilling the purpose God has for my life. I can once again walk with my head held high, because he healed me from my shame. I have purposed in my heart to never allow anyone or anything to ever come between me and God."
