Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, "God is dead." In short, he is not so
much dead as irrelevant to modern, self-actualized, successful
humanity.In his irrelevance, God is no longer feared, respected or
trusted.In this state he is incapable of bringing fulfillment,
purpose, and meaning to one human soul. Or is he? After exiling God
to the far reaches of human existence, we have found that purpose,
meaning, and fulfillment aren't so easy to come by. Furthermore, we
have found that once banished, God is impervious to our edicts and
demands. He will not be forced to appear in the courts of human
reason so we can question the nature of his being, his essence, his
desires. He will not submit to our cross-examinations concerning
his intentions and then decide whether he is worthy of our
allegiance. Identity Theft seeks to re-discover the Living God who
is beyond us but became us so we might know and walk in intimacy
with him. It is straight talk about disappointment, freedom,
obedience, experience, and perspective. In this age of damaging
consumerism, it attempts to rise above the clamor of rampant
self-gratification and clearly say, "God's not dead. He's just not
in the place we put him." Reclaim your true identity in Christ and
be set free to live the life God has for you
Evolution of a Spirit is a collection of Ken White's poetry from
his youth to present day. It shows the development of his thoughts
and feelings as he has dealt with various topics, including: faith;
marriage, divorce and fatherhood; his combat-related PTSD; and his
spiritual progress through these and other experiences. He hopes
these works can show others that they are not alone, and that there
is light at the end of the tunnel. The son of an Air Force officer
and a nurse, Ken grew up all over the world, graduating from the
Air Force Academy in 1970. After two tours of duty during the
Vietnam Conflict, Ken received a disability retirement and now
lives in the Washington DC area with his wife and their six fabled
felines.
Throughout most of his adulthood, Ken White's life has been a
series of ups and downs. The trials and tribulations he has
experienced have found expression in his poetry, which will
hopefully show others in similar circumstances that they are not
alone, and that with God's help, they can overcome. His areas of
interest include poems: From the Spirit (Faith), Marriage and
Divorce, Children's poems, War, Jest for Fun, Potpourri (a medley
of humorous and useful poetry), From My Pulpit; and Stories,
Letters and Essays; all of which make for enjoyable and worthwhile
reading. Having been born in the Territory of Alaska, the son of an
Air Force officer and a nurse, Ken White grew up all over the
world. After graduating from the Air Force Academy in 1970, he
realized his life's ambition of becoming an Air Force pilot. Now
retired, he currently resides in the Washington DC area, with his
wife and the five cats that own them.
