The Pushcart Prize–winning poet’s memoir of his criminal youth and years in prison: a “brave and heartbreaking” tale of triumph over brutal adversity (The Nation). Jimmy Santiago Baca’s “astonishing narrative” of his life before, during, and immediately after the years he spent in the maximum-security prison garnered tremendous critical acclaim. An important chronicle that “affirms the triumph of the human spirit,” it went on to win the prestigious 2001 International Prize (Arizona Daily Star). Long considered one of the best poets in America today, Baca was illiterate at the age of twenty-one when he was sentenced to five years in Florence State Prison for selling drugs in Arizona. This raw, unflinching memoir is the remarkable tale of how he emerged after his years in the penitentiary—much of it spent in isolation—with the ability to read and a passion for writing poetry. “Proof there is always hope in even the most desperate lives.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A hell of a book, quite literally. You won’t soon forget it.” —The San Diego U-T “This book will have a permanent place in American letters.” —Jim Harrison, New York Times–bestselling author of A Good Day to Die

Most of us walk through each day expecting few surprises. If we want to better ourselves or our lives, we map out a path of gradual change, perhaps in counseling or psychotherapy. Psychologists William Miller and Janet C'de Baca were longtime scholars and teachers of traditional approaches to self-improvement when they became intrigued by a different sort of change that was sometimes experienced by people they encountered--something often described as "a bolt from the blue" or "seeing the light." And when they placed a request in a local newspaper for people's stories of unexpected personal transformation, the deluge of responses was astounding. These compelling stories of epiphanies and sudden insights inspired Miller and C'de Baca to examine the experience of "quantum change" through the lens of scientific psychology. Where does quantum change come from? Why do some of us experience it, and what kind of people do we become as a result? The answers that this book arrives at yield remarkable insights into how human beings achieve lasting change--sometimes even in spite of ourselves.

An award-winning collection of poems that vividly capture the astonishing emotional range of an entire romance from beginning to end. Jimmy Santiago Baca introduces us to a man and woman before they are acquainted and re-creates their first meeting, falling in love, their decision to make a family, the eventual realization of each other’s irreconcilable faults, the resulting conflicts, the breakup and hostility, and, finally, their transcendence of the bitterness and resentment. Throughout the relationship we are privy to the couple’s anguish of loneliness, the heady rush of new love, the irritations and joys of raising children, the difficulties in truly knowing someone, the doldrums of breakup, and so on. It is impossible not to identify with these characters and to recognize the universal drama of human connection. As he weaves this story, Baca explores many of his traditional themes: the beauty and cruelty of the desert lands where he spent much of his life, the grace and wisdom of animals, and the quiet dignity of life on small Chicano farms. An extraordinary work that “expresses both bliss and heartache with lyric intensity” from one of America’s finest poets (Booklist). “Baca is a force in American poetry . . . His words heal, inspire, and elicit the earthly response of love.” —Garrett Hongo “[Baca] writes with unconcealed passion . . . what makes his writing so exciting to me is the way in which it manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythic and archetypal significance of life-events.” —Denise Levertov

This book is written to help, shape, form, and foster a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Through spending quality time with our Savior and Lord, it is how and why the believer growths and develops a personal solid, sound, and strong relationship. Relationships are built and develop from spending quality time with the person who you love the most. If a person truly loves God, He/she will spend that quality time with Him. Someone stated, Time is money and losing time is losing money. The blessings will not flourish or multiply, unless the individual spending quality and meaningful time with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The fact of the matter is that Lord Jesus Christ is the Blesser, and a person should have a need, desire, and want to spend time with the one who blesses him/her. Spending quality time with the Lord Jesus Christ is dedicating and committing to worship, prayer, and studying His word. It is not about reading or quoting scriptures, but mediating and fellowship with Him. Having A Moment with God is about spending a committed and dedicated time with the Lord Jesus Christ on a daily and consistence, continuous, and constant basis. Psalm 1:2, But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he mediate day and night. A Moment with God is about delighting, which indicates that a person must spend time, cleave, and commit to worship, prayer, and mediating on His word. There is no secret to knowing, loving, and worshiping God, because these things happen when a person abide[s] in Him and He abides in him/her (John 15:7)If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. The word abide means to set up residence or dwelling in the midst of. Through spending A Moment with God, it is asking, requesting, and praying for the ultimate worship, fellowship, and praise to take course, which is the ultimate resolution of God dwelling in the midst of. This is when a person knows that God is doing more than listening and answering prayershe is actually dwelling within the person. Hopefully, through this book, A Moment with God: Devotional Book, the individual will develop, learn, and gather principles and concepts of significance value for spending quality time with God that will develop and foster a productive and positive relationship that will yield results. This is my prayer and hope.
