This volume provides students with an introduction to the poetry and life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, one of the most popular poets of her day in Britain and America who has become one of the great icons of Victorianism for the modern age.

We are all familiar with the phrase, "battling with my demons" whether it is from a recovering drug addict seeking help to a catholic priest conducting an exorcism. In either context, we have all heard this saying at one time or another. But is it just some metaphorical saying, giving an excuse for the evil deeds of human beings? Or is there really a spiritual wickedness at work in our everyday lives trying to drag us to hell? Well for those that think demons are only figurative, may not be fully aware of the unseen battle that takes place around them. As quoted from the movie, Exorcism of...

My early role models were deviates, dope fiends, prostitutes, hustlers, pimps, and thugs. Is it any wonder I grew up to become a prostitute, an addict, a drug dealer/courier, a gunrunner and a thug. Ironically, I was also one of the most respected women in the hip-hop music industry. These associations eventually warped my thinking and social attitudes; which made me rebel against authority. I became resentful because I felt that let down. I believed that those in authority had abandoned me to the wolves. I admired and looked up to the wolves because they taught me how to live in the wild,...

In the past, I have spoken very extensively on how the Illuminati elite controls the entire entertainment industry and how anyone that dares to speak against their satanic agenda is punished through public media humiliation, imprisonment and sometimes death. The biggest targets always seem to be successful black comedians. Known for an unfiltered sense of social humor and repetitive usage of the n-word, Katt Williams never held his tongue on the taboo subjects of government control and Hollywood's notorious occult circles. With Katt at his pinnacle, suddenly his career begins to take a...

On October 29, 2012, one of the worst storms in history hit the East Coast. There was death and devastation from every angle. There are many prophecies about the end times. A lot of people claim to know what will happen in the future. But God is the only one who actually knows the future. The only accurate prophecies describing end time events are found in the Holy Bible. The Bible is filled with prophecies regarding the end of the world as revealed in the last chapter in the Book of Revelation. The Book of Revelation is filled with bizarre and breathtaking imagery that is interpreted in many...

The 20th Century history of the Kennedy family is peppered with incidents of death, scandal and general misfortune, typically involving firearms, women or light aircraft mixed with foggy weather conditions. All these events have served to either tarnish the clan's reputation or remove those members who seemed destined to fulfill their political ambitions, leading some commentators to suggest that there is a curse on the Kennedys that prevents them from ever being able to turn their vision for America into reality. The fact that today's generations of Kennedys mostly languish on the fringes of...

Deprogramming Black America is an ever-evolving and dynamic foundation to both establish and re-establish a core set of guide lines dedicated to creating, restoring, and officially documenting a pride in being of an African in America. (African First - then American). It is not my intent to impose a set way of thinking but to offer a suggested primary set of standards and recommendations that will assist people of African with the new quest for pride. This book is long overdue, yet right on time. I believe that the past, present and the future all exist on some plain at the same time, and...

Fame may be the motivator that drives wannabe stars to success - but it can also be a killer when it finally arrives. From Marilyn to Elvis to Tupac, a life at the top, devoutly sought after by millions of young'ns, comes with the kind of risks that would make most parents cringe. The toll of high-octane lifestyles pursued on a tide of popular acclaim is charted in research published today showing successful stars are twice as likely as the rest of us to die an early death. Alcohol, drugs, accidents and violence are the chief perils but as stars age, cancer and heart disease pose an...

There are no Bible verses that talk directly about marijuana. Is that surprising? So does that make it okay to smoke weed? Let's deal with the argument that it is OK to smoke pot since it is a creation of God. Yes, God did create the plant marijuana comes from. However, God NEVER intended you to dry the plant out, go to 7-11 and buy a pack of Blunt Raps, crumble the dried plant in the rolling paper, roll it up and smoke it. That, my friend, is a perversion of God's creation. There is one thing about God and sin. It's not sin if you don't know its sin. So if you have to ask whether it's sin or...
