Godslaughter: a Suspense Novel
This Christian suspense novel is a fictional
allegory of what the author believes is a spiritual battle to
destroy Christianity and Godly, biblical heritage in America.
Celia Rayburn, trying desperately to find a job to support
herself and her husband, leaves a job interview in downtown
Washington, D.C. only to witness an attempted assassination of a
minister at a rally on Freedom Plaza. Although there are dozens
of witnesses, she is questioned on camera by an inexperienced
television reporter. Believing that her brief camera time would
give her five minutes of fame, she tunes in, only to find no
mention of the event on the news.
Later that night, her
husband is murdered. The assailant, a mysterious tall man, also
goes after her. With the help of a police detective, she goes
into hiding. Initially, she thinks that her pursuer wants her
because of something her husband was doing. However, as the
police delve further into the case, it becomes apparent that the
tall man pursuing her wants her because of something connected
to the Freedom Plaza assassination. But no one seems to know
what it is.
No one, that is, except for the minister, who
is keenly aware that Celia is caught up in a plot that is much

Wallflowers in the Kingdom: A Vindication of Christian Introverts
Experiences of
introverted Christian author reflected in new non-fiction book.
In January 2011, author Louis Jones began to wonder why his
attempts to be more outgoing were met with failure and
frustration. It was at this time that he discovered in prayer
that God did not make him to be that way. God made him to be
quiet, contemplative, and oriented to time alone. This
revelation resulted in the book Wallflowers in the Kingdom. The
book details his experiences as a Christian introvert in his
childhood and adult life, and draws upon those experiences to
make the case that introverts are created that way by God and
are important in the functioning of the Kingdom of God. The book
embarks upon an examination of Scriptures that support the
lifestyle of the Christian introvert, and calls upon extroverts
and introverts to better understand one another in order to
foster harmony in the church.
Wallflowers in the Kingdom
is yet another resounding voice in a Godly chorus designed to
bring more light and vindication to the lifestyle of the
introvert in the modern-day church.

often have many roadblocks that make it difficult for even the
most diligent and earnest job seekers to find a job.
However, the ex-offender who reads and studies this manual will
receive practical information that will help increase the odds
of finding employment. Information about beating frustration,
organizing for a job search, and even where to look for
available positions will help the ex-offender overcome the
obstacles to steady employment.
Help! My Loved One is in Prison
There
are over 2 million American citizens incarcerated in this
country. Many of those people have family members or other loved
ones on the outside. All of them have been adversely affected by
the incarcerated of the loved ones to various degrees And those
loved ones can be a tremendous help and resource for the
offender when he/she finally gets out of prison. But in many
cases, the loved one on the outside has no clue what to do to
help their incarcerated loved one. Programs seem to be scarce.
Many people asked for help turn in the other direction.
Oftentimes the person searching for help finds himself or
herself just as lost as the person inside the walls.
This
new manual addresses that experience. This publication is for
anyone who is affected by the incarceration, either past or
present, of a loved one and wants to do something to help.
Equipping Your Church to Minister to Ex-Offenders

area of the country where there is a prison or a jail, or where
ex-offenders reside, there is a need to help incarcerated men
and women make a successful transition from prison to society.
This 104-page manual gives practical, Biblically-based
instructions on starting such a ministry, whether through the
local church, or as a separate ministry working with the local
church.
