Originally titled As a Man Thinketh, this work has provided
self-help to spiritual seekers for nearly a century. Its premise is
that the key to happiness and power lies in our minds. This book
shows us what we are capable of, and provides the tools to achieve
it.
Josephus, soldier, statesman, historian, was a Jew born at
Jerusalem about 37 CE. A man of high descent, he early became
learned in Jewish law and Greek literature and was a Pharisee.
After pleading in Rome the cause of some Jewish priests he returned
to Jerusalem and in 66 tried to prevent revolt against Rome,
managing for the Jews the affairs of Galilee. In the troubles which
followed he made his peace with Vespasian. Present at the siege of
Jerusalem by Titus, he received favours from these two as emperors
and from Domitian and assumed their family name Flavius. He died
after 97.
As a historical source Josephus is invaluable. His major works
are: "History of the Jewish War," in seven books, from 170 BCE to
his own time, first written in Aramaic but translated by himself
into the Greek we now have; and "Jewish Antiquities," in twenty
books, from the creation of the world to 66 CE. The Loeb Classical
Library edition of the works of Josephus also includes the
autobiographical "Life" and his treatise "Against Apion,"
The Elect are aware, but the rest of the world needs to recognize
its faults, before it falls. These heroes are here to provide that
protection, beginning as casino heist-artists known as the
Munificent 6, they eventually become the Eminent Gentelmen Ten or
EGX. The dark horse, though, is Franco Shaddix - and while he
vaguely knows John Homme - the two will have to team up with many
other heroes in the end times as Stuporboy and Johnny Honesty.

Kelvin De'Marcus Allen has crafted a luminous narrative that speaks
volumes to those of us who came of age during and immediately after
the civil rights movement. Kelvin grew up as the "bastard child,"
the beleaguered fruit of a poor, single mother, and a father who
treated him as if he were invisible. One of seven children, the
struggling family lived in a rundown, wood-frame house with
plumbing so bad the family often had to relieve themselves in a
hole in the backyard. W.E.B. Dubois' "The Souls Of Black Folk" and
Gordon Park's "The Learning Tree" come to mind while reading
Kelvin's slim elegant volume. Some may think the comparison is a
stretch - Dubois. The "agitator-prophet," and Parks, the
quintessential Renaissance man, are two of America's greatest
heroes - perhaps Kelvin's greatest work is yet to come. Kelvin
De'Marcus Allen is a graduate of North Carolina Central University
in Durham, N.C., and holds a Master of Arts degree in Leadership
& Liberal Studies from Duquesne University.
