"The Unbreakable Human Spirit of Resilience: A Boy's Journey from Adversity to Triumph" transcends the typical memoir genre, narrating the profound journey of Ericboy, a young boy whose early life in the war-torn streets of Liberia forges his unyielding spirit. His tale begins in the challenging environment of West Point's slums, moves through the contrasting worlds of Mamba Point, and is violently disrupted by the Liberian Civil Wars, turning his once haven, Graystone, into a battleground.

God is Mother. God is Midwife. God is Hostess. God is Mystery. God is Home. Traditional language for God has been dominated by a single image—Father—and masculine norms. For some, this language is meaningful. For others, it is deeply problematic. In both cases, it’s limited. One thing is certain: God is More. Mallory Wyckoff believes it’s past time to expand the ways we think about God.

Those who have felt alienated by the typical ways of describing God in Christianity will meet God anew: As a Seamstress who stitches tapestries out of our tatters of shame. As a Sexual Trauma Survivor who has suffered alongside those who have endured the worst. As a Mother who nurtures us to life with her body.
