From the Book of Iniquity by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

Books of Iniquity by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren



He secured the door. I followed him to the sitting room where he sank into his favourite seat. “You can make yourself comfortable,” he pointed at the sofa. Without a word, I placed my bag on the sofa and slowly settled down. My eyes travelled round the room. The atmosphere was refreshing. No foul smell, he was organized. Attracted to the books carefully arranged on the shelf. I got up and walked there. I picked one of them and flipped through the pages. It did not look bad. I glanced at him, our eyes met. I said, “I like books. I read a lot.”

He nodded almost a million times, and noted, “It’s good to read. What can I offer you?”

I placed the book back on the shelf and returned to my seat. I turned to him and our eyes met again. I understand why he is staring at me. He was expecting my response. I sighed deeply and answered, “I am not overly choosy. Give me what you have!”

“What if I offer myself?”

I chuckled, “That will be asking for too much. Do you have soft drink?”

“Sure.” He rose from the chair and disappeared into a corner of the house. Moments later, he appeared with two bottles of soft drink. He pulled the side table to my side. He sat beside me and placed the drink on the table. He opened his bottle and sent some of the content down his throat. As soon as the drink settled down, he let go a belch that could kill a dove. “That was good,” he said. He slammed the drink on the table, “Life is good.”

I took my drink as well. I placed my bottle next to his. I glanced at him as he fixed his gaze on the TV. I asked, “Where is your wife?”

“Good you asked. I am not married,” he chuckled. And turned to me. Our eyes met. I turned away. “It is difficult to believe.”

I nodded in agreement. “Yes, I thought you were married.”

“I was…”

“So what happened? Where is she?” I took another sip, waiting for his explanation.

“She had cancer. We fought gallantly against it but could not prevail. Ever since she died, my life had been empty. I have been struggling and burning at the same time.” He turned to me, “Have I answered your question?”

“Yes,” I nodded. “Sorry for your loss…”

“That is what I always hear. Dalmos, sorry for your loss. Dalmos sorry for this and Dalmos sorry that blah, blah, blah. Soon you will leave and I will be all alone again. This loneliness is killing me.”

“I do not intend to leave too soon…No I mean…I…I will,” I do not know what came over me.

When he did not say a word, I thought he did not hear me. I took another sip from the bottle. I faced the television and hoped he did not hear me or go back to the subject. Something in me seemed to be edging me close to him. But how could I be so cheap.

After emptying his bottle of drink into his stomach, he sat up, and asked, “Did you say you will stay with me?”

“So you heard me?”

“Yes, you remind me of my late wife. She was outspoken. She never hid her feelings. When you said that, you brought back some good memories. I would not mind if you stay with me as long as you want.”

I chuckled, shook my head. “We barely knew one another…”

“I have nothing to hide. This is me,” he stretched his hands and palms up. “There is nothing else other than this.”

I turned away. “I did not come here for this. I came to thank you for saving my life,” I told him.

He rose to his feet and walked out of the sitting room.

“Where are you going?”

There was no answer.

I jumped to my feet as my gaze followed him to the corner.  He opened a door, went into the room and shut the door behind him. I sat back confused and did not know what to do. After seating in the sitting room alone for some time, I decided to find out what was wrong with the man. Gently, I got back on my feet and walked to the door. Quietly I opened the door and tossed my head inside. I met Dalmos by the window, staring outside. I entered the room and shut the door behind us. “What are you doing here? Why did you leave in the room?”

“I am sorry. I just could not stand you. The more I stared at you, the more I remember my wife. You are just like her. I felt guilty again. I did not do enough to keep her alive. That was why I had to leave,” he spoke with a quivering voice.

“You need to forgive yourself and move on.” I went to the window and stood by his side. As we gazed at the beautiful earth, Dalmos hands were on the burglary proof. As he lowered his hand, he brushed my nipple. I moaned a little. My eyes stumbled on his trousers; his cock was hard inside his pants. Sensing the invitation, he raised my shirt. He leaned forward, grabbed my breasts and wrapped his long tongue around it. I was wet. I begged him not to stop. I held his head and pulled him close to my body. Everything started very fast. We had plenty of motivation.

Dalmos snatched me from the ground and tossed me to the bed. I watched him unzip his trousers. His penis was very hard and was growing bigger and larger. I undressed, took his cock in my hand and slipped it into my mouth. As I pulled back and forth softly, he moaned aloud. Then I pulled away, lay with my back to the bed, and spread my legs for him to invade me. He did not disappoint. He drilled me so hard. By the time he descended, his load was inside of me. Dalmos was a remarkable man.

New Book: Racism, Where Is Your Sting? A provocative look at the beginning and the end of racism by Eric Tangumonkem, Ph.D

Each time the issue of racism is mentioned, 

tensions immediately run high, reason is thrown out the window, and emotional outbursts run rampant. Even though a lot of effort has been done to fight it, the devastating consequences continue to this day.


Eric Tangumonkem, Ph.D



The heart of this book is focused on the key elements that make racism possible and how to starve the lifeblood to these key elements and eradicate them from the root. Since racism is based on the faulty notion that one race is superior to another, you need somebody who believes that they are superior and another person who believes that they are inferior. When these two people interact, the outcome will reflect what they believe about themselves and their circumstances.

This may sound too simplistic, but it is one of the major drivers of racism. In addition to superiority and inferiority beliefs, acts of impunity and unforgiveness are the other drivers. You have those that believe they are superior, and in their zeal to impose their superiority, they harm those they are trying to keep in their inferior position. The individuals who are hurt “rightly” want to seek revenge and unfortunately fall into the unforgiveness pit, where they become trapped by hate and vengeance. I hope that the simple message of hope in this book will shed some much-needed light in the darkness of one of the darkest pages of human history. We are going to be affirming that there is one human race. In addition to one human family, none is superior to another, and none is inferior as well. We are all created in the image and likeness of God, and the amount of melanin in our skin does not and should never be used to define us. When we gain this understanding, believe, and start acting on it, it is only then that we can all ask the question, “Oh, racism, where is your sting?

Jack Casey's Hamilton's Choice


An American hero is torn between love for his family and his commitment to his country.

Born into poverty, this bastard orphan from the Caribbean, Alexander Hamilton, rises to become one of the foremost leaders of our fledgling nation. Marrying for love into one of American's most powerful families, he fathers a family whom he adores.

When Hamilton's eldest child is murdered in a duel, his world and his family are torn asunder. This foul crime sets Alexander on a tragic course that will shock the nation. Will it also destroy his beloved family?

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the founding of a nation, Hamilton's Choice chronicles the tragic final years of Alexander Hamilton.

New Book: Judenrein, a Jewish Dystopian Thriller,
 Issues a Stark Warning of Rising American Anti-Semitism


Judenrein: A Jewish Dystopian Thriller




The book uses suspense to convey a stark warning to American Jews, based on rising anti-Semitism. The story envisions the fate of America’s Jews after a white supremacist cabal seizes power in the federal government.

 

“The Jews have enjoyed a level of freedom and prosperity in the United States that they hadn’t experienced for the previous two thousand years, but there are warnings all over the place that it’s about to end,” said a spokesperson for the publisher, Intrados Publishing.

 

“Judenrein tries to imagine what the destruction of American Jewry might look like—and offers a suspenseful adventure and a compelling, if flawed hero who fights to save the day.”

 

The word “Judenrein” is German for “free of Jews.” The Nazis used it to describe their dream of liquidating Europe’s Jewish population. The author selected the word as a title because it reflects the clearly stated aims of America’s many large and increasingly influential white nationalist groups.

 

“Judenrein” is a work of Jewish fiction that tells the story of Zack Gurevitz, a man with a decidedly checker past: A Yeshiva boy, turned Green Beret, turned junkie, excommunicated by his one-time faith and now the potential saviour of people he doesn’t even like. With white supremacists in power, again the Jews are made out as scapegoats. Stripped of wealth and citizenship, they are made to live in 21st century ghettos that hark back to a sinister and murky past that many had thought would never return.

 

But things are about to get much worse. With the revealing of a planned terror attack that will place the blame firmly at Jewish feet and condemn millions to death, Zack is contacted by Jewish leaders in Detroit, begging for his help. Reluctantly, he agrees and before long he is mired in a conspiracy that will have far reaching consequences for his country, the Jewish population and even his own sanity. As the clock ticks down, Zack tries to avert a looming disaster and uncover who is behind the mysterious plot.

A short while later, Danny Turner is found in his car at the bottom of a ravine, after having taken his own life.

Just A Servant by Patricia Moore

For ages, 

Biblical stories have 

served as moral lessons, 

light to our paths 

and blessing to all.


Patricia Moore


Marciper hates being a servant boy. 

His master treats him cruelly. 

Marciper wishes to see Jesus in the marketplace. 

Will Marciper find Jesus in the crowded marketplace? 

If Marciper finds Jesus, will it change his life?


REVIEWS


“Quick read about a young boy who hears about the legend of Jesus, and then decides to stick around the market to see if the rumors are true. Despite his disobedience, and possible punishment because he is just a servant, he wanders until he finds Jesus and they get to hang out for a bit...” –Jules F.


“Just A Servant is a short but sweet book about a poor servant boy. He goes to the marketplace and while there wonders if he will see Jesus. Jesus was there and the boy sees children gathered around Him. To the boy's surprise, Jesus speaks to him and accepts him even though he is a servant boy. 

This book is great to teach kids about Jesus' love for all…”—Jessica D. Adams


“I enjoyed this book! :) I am glad there are children's books to teach about Jesus. A poor servant boy goes to the marketplace, and he wonders if he will see Jesus. He does see him, and he is excited to meet Jesus, who speaks to him! The story shows children that Jesus has a love and acceptance for everyone. Wonderful story with great illustrations! :)”—KMCL


“This could have been a true story for all you know. Marciper wants to see the man Jesus everybody is talking about. He gets a chance at the marketplace. And he is amazed when Jesus calls to him and asks him to sit on his lap. He is not even afraid of being late because he knows he is loved. I am sure that was the effect Jesus had on everyone that met him. I hope there is more than one book.”—Rebecca Verghese Paul.
