Poetry can be a very deep manner of expression, akin to music and visual arts. It comes both from the soul and from the imagination. From the Ashes is, in many ways, representative of the diversity of experiences life offers us. The book is divided into three main sections. The Fires section represents the chaotic and challenging energy life contains. The Ashes section represents the processing and lessons learned through life's trials, and the Flight section represents the rising above those trials with new wisdom. The majority of the poems are a reflection of my own thoughts and feelings, but some are purely imagination, and others are a result of "challenges" from my fellow Black Rose poets to write about a picture, feeling, etc. These poems represent the best and worst life has to offer us. I feel that to understand life, one must experience, at least vicariously, all aspects of it.

Sabotage cripples young Slava Gdansk's plans as he leads a newborn church in the small Russian community of Bolshoigorsk. A mysterious fire, scandalous accusations and a jail stint lead Slava and his wife, Oksana, to place great hope in a visiting team of American short-term missionaries to bolster their courage. This handful of idealistic Americans, beset by a shocking tragedy before leaving the States, has under two weeks to help rally the fledgling church. Tony Barton, a loose gun on the team, grapples with which is more dangerous: the covert persecution or the beautiful Russian translator. Interactions with angels, both in worship and warfare, are not enough to support the wavering faithful. Would God truly allow the severe afflictions they must endure? As the surprising opposition hammers the devoted, the mission is not only for the survival of the church, but for their very lives.

Intentionally or otherwise, the world today is engulfed in a strange intellectual strife and insoluble mental enigma. To overcome this conflict, we must take practical steps toward creating a true conception of God in the minds of the people and to impress on their memories the necessity of religion, enabling religion and spiritualism to attain once more the preeminence that they previously enjoyed. In pursuit of that renaissance of religion, Irfan presents the exposition of two secret, rare, and closely guarded sciences and offers a vivid description of their philosophy. The first focuses on knowledge of concentration on the personal name of God (Allah), centralizing human thought and occult spiritual energies on one point to attain willpower and spiritual strength. The second invokes the inmates of the graves, calling on departed souls for wisdom. Irfan demonstrates that humanity’s worldly life is not everything; rather, there is a world after death, and dying is just a part of life. It seeks to remove the fear of death and reveal it to be a beloved entity. Written by Faqeer Noor Muhammad in the early twentieth century, this spiritual study provides a valuable compendium and unique record of religion, spiritualism, and the secrets of Sufiism.

Timothy Willard and Jason Locy show readers how to discover the brilliance of God in the shadows of everyday life. Life opens up before each of us, it beckons, it tempts, it thrills, it betrays. And what do we desire? All of it and none of it. We’re not in this to survive, but to live. We want to experience joy in the everyday grind of work, relationships, and parenting. We want healing in our suffering. Forgiveness in the midst of our pains. Purpose through the journey. We want to break free from the temporal and live with an eternal perspective. We want to be brilliant. In Home Behind The Sun coauthors Timothy Willard and Jason Locy invite you to step out of the shadows and into the brilliance. They want to introduce you to the God of the mysterious. A God who combats despair with joy, topples bitterness with forgiveness, and eliminates cynicism with belief and whimsy. You’re invited home. Home, behind the sun.
