Book: The Spirit of GREED

Here I am on the eve before one of the most important days that this country has ever faced in the history of it's existence. Tommorrow this nation will choose the new presidency for this nation. Never in the history of this land a Black man has ever been seriously considered as occupying the highest seat as President and Commander in Chief of this nation. 400 years ago in 1607 the first Dutch slave ship transfered 20 African slaves to this new colony. Ever since, the African American people have suffered to be heard, acknowledge, respected, and taken seriously as people and furthermore; leaders in this nation. After 400 years of being disrepected and mistreated, by this time tommorrow, many will have decided if a black man can lead this nation in order to turn our economy around. Senator Barrack Obama has come up out of no where and captured the heart of the people of this nation. 2 years ago I started writing this book "The spirit of Greed" right after I finished my first project "CHOOSE." Strangely enough, after writing several chapters in this book, I struggled with be able to finish this project. I would be held up by the "Spirit of the Lord" to pay attention to many more things before I could continue to write on this subject. Several times in 2007 I tried to finish this project, but could not continue therein. It became my personal goal to have it completed by Thanksgiving 2007. Again, nothing was coming to me to write. It would not be until fall of 2008 that the Lord would begin to pour again into my spirit the completion of this book. Let me say that, when I started this project 2 years ago, I had not the elections or even this nations economy in mind. But in this past year, that has been the main subject in our daily news. Our nations has faced some of the worse economic crisis since man has stepped foot in this country. It has been so bad that never in life did I think that many of our white brothers and sisters would band together with blacks, hispanics, jews...etc, and show that we must come together and do what is necessary to turn our nation around. It has been a humbling experience to see this country come together for the same cause. I didn't realize it 2 years ago when the Spirit of the Lord gave me this subject of the "spirit of Greed" that I would be writing about the very thing that many are now realizing that has brought our nation to economic disaster. This book can not have been written more timely. The spirit of Greed has rocked this nation to the point that people of all races, beliefs, and backgrounds are showing early in the polls that they for the first time, are willing to put the first black man in public office as the President of these United States to turn this economy around. They are willing to take control from those who have abused money and power and give it to another party. I am suddenly reminded of the words that God spoke to Abram in Genesis 15:13-14 "Know for certain that your descdants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated for 400 years. But I will punish that nation they serve as slaves." It would be exactly 400 years when this black man hit the campaign trail in 2007 and started sweeping the support of this nation to the credit of the greed of many wealthy legislators, brokers, and bankers that abused the resources of 95 percent of Americans. The book "The spirit of Greed" is not only dealing with the greed for money and power. It deals with greed in relationships, in parenting, in business, in music and in your community. Greed is proving itself to be the most vilest and out of control spirits that we all will ever face and have to deal with in this life. Please feel free to contact me via email for your Pre-Order. The printed copies of this book will be available NLT February 28, 2009. The Price will be $15.95.
