Book Description
For Pride this year I decided to create pieces inspired by the original colors and meaning of the pride flag. There are very important recent additions to the lines of color, but with a focus on the original rainbow I want to remind all LGBTQ+ people that we stand together. I totally empathize with the need to banner under our own more specific group flags, but I truly believe we should embrace each other, celebrate together, riot together, cry together, and live together in unity. To quote Charles Beal when discussing Gilbert Baker's flag, "...he wanted it to be owned by everyone."

Book Description
Five Foundations of Human Development (FFHD) "Is our Materially Driven Life a Threat to the 'Spiritual Purpose' of our Existence?" The book is a philosophical, religious and practical discourse on Five Foundations of Human Development. It offers compelling philosophical, analytical and empirical arguments for a better world, which is inherent in the worship of God, service to humanity, obedience to governing authorities and management of God's creation. The authors examine problems that we encounter daily, and they postulate solutions from Spiritual, moral, social, intellectual and physical perspectives. They essentially explore some of our past and present approaches to solutions to human problems. They propose new "revolutionary" approaches to human development that call the reader's attention to a new "enlightenment," new "hope" and new "optimism," informed by a new "Body of knowledge." The authors strive to explain the Christian message of God as delivered and taught by Jesus Christ, however it is not a work that is exclusively for Christians. Their discourse recognizes the comparable message and desire for the unity of humanity by other world religions. They present their discourse not as experts or giving expert advice, but simply as individuals with a desire to add another dimension of thought and enquiry to the vast storehouse of human knowledge. The primary purpose of their discourse is to demonstrate the positive benefits to humanity when Biblical (religious) perspectives underpin every human endeavor. These endeavors include (but are not limited to) family relations, national and international relations, engineering, science and technology, economics, history, education and health. These endeavors dictate human progress. Gibbs and Grey contend that humanity can realize the greater ideals of leadership and authority in the world through the application of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the great prophets. The authors appeal to leaders of the 21st century - educational, political, scientific, and business to seek the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of God in using our vast global "natural" wealth, science, technology and human capital to educe relevant and applicable strategies for the betterment of "all" humanity.

Book Description
Love & Forgiveness is a book about walking with God. It follows the all-too-typical believer's path of initially ignoring God, to searching for Him, and finally to serving Him. In its pages are a generous sharing of stories of faith, of how God reaches out to us regardless of our circumstances, and of how He can change our lives both now and in the hereafter. "Chuck Colson and I got to know Roger Turner in 1993 on our trip to India and South East Asian capitals, where we visited a number of prisons. It was evident then that Chaplain Turner was far more interested in the inmates than merely in inspecting the prisons or their environment. He was focused on them as sons and daughters of our loving, Heavenly Father. The insights in his book reflect the journey of a man who was called to reach out to prisoners... "This is a book worth reading for it is as relevant to the man and woman on the street as it is to the prison inmate." -Ron Nikkel, President and CEO of Prison Fellowship International Chaplain Roger Turner may have retired vocationally, but his faith in Christ remains strong and active in the pages of this book. He shares stories from his own life, and those gleaned from years of work with prison ministries both before and after his retirement from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
