Through the lips of Black British Christians, we hear the stories
and experiences first hand. Hostility, prejudice and cruelty were
not uncommon, but there are also many glimpses of welcome and
acceptance as they arrived in a foreign land. Black people of
African origin and descent have lived in Britain for man centuries.
By the late eighteenth century an increasing number were active
Christians. Long before Empire Windrush arrived in Tilbury in
mid-1948, black Britons worked as doctors, ministers and political
activities, as well as in non-professional roles. They are little
known and largely forgotten. Here they touchingly describe their
lives, faith, work, families, hopes and ambitions, part of a rich
and fascinating seam of British history that has been generally
ignored. This intimate portrait will inform black Christians of
their heritage, while helping white Christians to understand more
about the diversity of Britain's cultural background.

Deception of Magic is a unique Christian Fantasy that combines
scripture with a humorous, action-packed fantasy world. Evangelical
theology in this fantasy, aimed at youth and adults, discusses such
topics as salvation, prayer, forgiveness, divorce, and of course,
magic. Theology is presented using Bible verses from the KJV and
NIV Bible through character interaction and action sequences. Join
the adventure as God's wrath rains down on this rebellious Kingdom,
which was originally founded on God's Word. Javin and his friends
must fight for their very lives as their kingdom crumbles around
them. Along the way, they discover many truths about God, including
salvation, forgiveness, and the powerful work of the Son of God on
the Cross. Javin is severely speech impaired, socially reclusive,
and heart-broken over the loss of his childhood sweetheart,
Chellell, who has left him and the church, to pursue magic. Angry
with God for not answering her prayers as a child when her father
left her mother, Chellell embraces the doctrines of magic. She is
unaware that Javin gets ill whenever he is near magic users. Her
strong distrust for males and God is based on her experiences of
abandonment and unanswered prayers. Gevi is a fiery, half-elven
girl that is a technology genius. Somehow, she always finds herself
in trouble, dragging everyone around her into the chaos. Her
struggles are based upon deep seeded fears from a childhood as an
orphan, living on the streets. Thunderfall is a dwarven blacksmith,
who adopted Gevi when she was nine. He is spiritually strong, and
well versed in The Guide (Bible). Gevi is unaware that her adopted
dwarven father is much more than he seems.
