This book is as much a personal and intellectual journey as it is a quest to uncover the Holy Grail of truth concerning two of America's most perplexing subject matters--Sex and Race. With remarkable clarity, objectivity, and occasional passion, Terry Moore tackles nearly every hot button issue of our day related to either or both sex and race. Everything from the O.J. Simpson trial, and Geraldo Rivera's covering of it, to the real reasons some black men eagerly seek white women and vice versa; To America's response to September 11th, and finally to the conclusion that the interracial coupling of the white female and black male may ironically be pivotal in bringing this Nation's people together. It's all here, and more. Moreover, few books leaves its readers with a complete sense of "Now that makes sense", even when it runs counter to all he or she has known or been taught perhaps over their lifetime. The sometimes controversial nature of this book is at once not only part of its draw and appeal, but also part of its charm and beauty, as it promises to both enlighten and entertain, and on all counts it delivers!.

Caius Zip, the young time traveller, arrives at Paris in 1905. The turn of the 20th century is a period that sizzles with ideas and realizations and the Universe is about to be contemplated as it never was before.

In this work of fiction, Einstein was resting in Paris before his innovating Theory of Relativity enlightened him. At that same time, Picasso was just starting on his idea of breaking with conventional perspective.

Both characters seek the same concept: space-time relation. The encounter between art and science is finally possible by means of a limitless imagination.

Accompany the descriptions of interesting places of the belle époque in Paris and the memorable dialogue between Caius, Einstein, Picasso, Agatha, André Salmon, the poet and Getrude Stein, the sponsor of the novice Picasso, at the Spanish painter’s atelier on how art, literature, science, travelling in time and mystery are intertwined.

Caius penetrates the birth of the theory of relativity and cubism and also manages to solve a murder mystery with the help of his two young friends, Agatha Christie, with her investigative mind and Charlie Chaplin, who provides a touch of magic to this surprising work of fiction.

An impassioned condemnation of anti-gay religious extremism enveloped in a call to spiritual discernment, The Pharisees Amongst Us identifies the religious leaders and collaborators in the campaign against homosexuals and homosexuality as equivalents of Pharisees, religious rigorists who demanded adherence to spiritually-empty laws, antagonists of the Christ, to whom Christ routinely referred as hypocrites. Citing numerous examples of what he refers to as biblical contortionism and behavior that starkly contrasts Christ's teachings by the likes of Jerry Falwell, Dr. Laura, James Dobson and Lou Sheldon, author, Rod Brannum-Harris charges the anti-gay campaign is rooted in ignorance of the divinity and spiritual oneness of all creation, God's unbounded, creative genius and God's all-encompassing, unconditional love..
