It's a beautiful thing when love comes together and the two find something in common to build on. But when love crosses society's theoretical laws, it can be a battle. Crossing Lines in the Sand-Feels Like Chocolate is a love story which challenges society's double standard rule, about older women in relationships with younger men.Dan'E Magic worked at the local seafood restaurant, The Seawater, while embarking on a career in hip hop entertainment, all the while catching the eye of most of the female staff; one being more than twice his age.Widowed mother of three, Kayth Mitchell, can't keep her mind off of the young man, even though many would scorn her for her behavior. But, despite that fact, the two found a challenging connection, and begin flirting towards that end, until Dan'E, in an impromptu manner and, without any explanation, quit his job. Then about a year or so later, they run into each other and spent that day on the beach. This synchronicity moment had revived their interest.Though their long and beautiful, sometimes happy, sometimes stormy relationship was rocked with people still gossiping, pointing fingers, and passing judgment because of their extreme age differences and life style, with living in a mansion behind a concrete fortress in the desert, and a yellow rose for forgiveness, and their love feast adventures, they had managed to survive.Now, facing one of the couple's darkest periods, investigative reporter, Darlene Grey, has been given permission to enter the Magic's vast desert compound to record a tell-all interview. However, a skeptic in her own right because of her own turbulent and emotional journey, her deep-seated pain and irrational theory about love kept Ms. Gray from taking this assignment too seriously. Although this couple has experienced much joy and strife over the years, Kayth feels that its time for the world to know their full story; and yet, this incidental memoir was also Kayth's attempt at solidifying her own belief that in spite of societies' objections and theories, and regardless of their outcome, even if they must live behind the gate of a fortress, the world needed to know that the Magic's life will still feel like the spirit of love-the feeling of Chocolate.

Freedom From Fear: A Daily Handbook was written as a resource for Christians who are facing either the long-term or short-term emotional challenges of fear and anxiety. In acknowledging and searching out the Bible's ancient wisdom, solutions to our modern-day trials and struggles are discovered. Within the pages of this book, scriptures dealing with problem life situations are presented and then explored in ways that address the adversities prevalent in today's world.The book addresses a variety of subjects. Fear of the future, divorce, financial concerns, health problems, and the importance of prayer and worship are just a few of the many topics discussed. A scripture, discussion, and meditation are included in the readings provided for each day of the year.In the context of exploring the daily scripture, some concrete helps are provided, such as:* Techniques to enhance prayer time and meditation* A strategy for leaving your problem in God's hands* How to use the Christian's weapons of warfare to effectively combat fear* How to use the power of "binding and loosing"* A method of sowing seed for a harvest of spiritual maturity, as well as many suggestions for applying God's word to specific conditions and situations.The book's vital underlying concept is that a successful, joyful life is obtained only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the belief and practice of the principles contained in God's word. Without this foundation, the soul is left vulnerable to the onslaught of stressors encountered in the ordinary course of life. Thankfully, through his word and his presence, God provides protection from, and a defense against, fear.
