A collection of short stories that illustrate the power of being seen and the miracle of being connected to Creator, Self, and Others
A simplified name and an altered appearance no longer bring peace to the victims of shackled minds, shortened memories, and stifled identities. Dreams of liberation intensify as the whole world shouts our lives matter. These lives strain to break away from the chains induced by weak religion. Independent thinkers, who have just enough faith to ask “what if” regarding the reality of Christ, see Him where He is least expected. They meet Him when He is least expected. The results they get in their lives change when they believe different stories about themselves. Before liberation takes the world by calm, it begins with individual.
