Down the Crawfish Hole

The Invisible Shield


Book Description

Spiritual warfare can only be confronted and overcome in the spirit realm. Its outcome is evident in this world. Everyday we are engaged in spiritual warfare whether or not we are aware of this truth. To our natural self it appears that we are physically in conflict with each other, but this is a deceptive tactic designed by the ever-present rulers of darkness. You were sent into this world to fulfill a divine mission. Before you were born, the Creator had taken care of, shielded, and protected you from the adversary. Although the battle is not yours, He wants you to go to the combat zone. He will supply you with His whole armor so that you can withstand the weapons that the spiritual enemy will launch against you. Your charge is to report for duty. This book describes in detail how one person journeyed into the spirit realm and triumphed over spiritual wickedness that held her family captive for generations. The Creator sent her into this world to deliver them. She learned at an early age that her sleep was more than mere sleep, but in actuality, her sleep was a corridor by which she traveled between this world and the spirit realm. Her first hand experience will encourage you to never give up your fight to fulfill your divine purpose in this world. God has ordained you to carry out a specific assignment. Your trials and tribulations are designed to shape, make, mold, and groom you for victory in spiritual warfare. You are never alone. He is always with you.




The Crawfish Book


Book Description

American Indians worshiped them as creators of the world, Napoleon ate them to celebrate his victories, Swedes have them shipped in from halfway around the world, and for Louisiana's Cajuns the humble crawfish is the centerpiece of cuisine, a symbol of ethnic pride, a staple commodity for thriving business ventures, and an inextricable part of folklore. Research and interviews spice this delightful book that details the relationship between crawfish and humans--from antiquity to the New York markets of the 1880s; from Depression-era pauper's feast to gourmet entree of the 1980s Cajun cooking craze; from spring afternoon pastime to modern aquaculture agribusiness. To get the reader's mouth watering, more than two dozen recipes from those who know crawfish best--both famous chefs and crawfishers--are interspersed throughout. Sections offer advice on catching, buying, handling, cooking, and, for those who wish to simplify their encounters with crawfish, ordering tasty dishes in restaurants. Included are also a bibliographical essay, an index to recipes, and a list of sources for spices, paraphernalia, and airfreight shipments of crawfish.




Down Around the River

Dixon Avenue


Book Description

In 1975, I started writing freelance articles for D Magazine in Dallas, mostly about Dallas history-I probably wrote a hundred or more on that one subject. This book is also about local history, but it's a little different; it's from the heart of the main character. It's about a simple life in simple times, but when I was living it, it sure seemed complicated.

The Testimonies of Slaves


Book Description

Good Press presents to you this meticulously collection of hundreds of life stories, recorded interviews and incredible vivid testimonies of former slaves from the American southern states, including photos of the people being interviewed and their extraordinary narratives. After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 U.S. states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past. Contents: Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Indiana Kansas Kentucky Maryland Mississippi Missouri North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia
