This book is a collection of my various writings over the past sixty years (1950 – 2010). The book features a number of essays ranging in topics from various pleas for action/outrage concerning inaction, to the philosophical, to the humorous. The second section of the book is a collection of my poems. Section three consists of two short stories. Section four is a collection of “Eight Word Wisdoms.” These are bits of wisdom expressed in eight word sayings, which I have found to be thought-provoking or profound in their implications. The book is designed to be of interest especially to the scientific-minded skeptic/atheist, or freethinker, as well as those seeking to lead a more active or purposeful, and thereby more meaningful life.
Founded in 1897 by Lydia Moss Bradley, Bradley University has embraced a diverse population for over 100 years. This photographic history, featuring close to 200 vintage images, focuses on the development of this institution and the African-American presence that shaped it. In January of 1963, Bradley Hall, and the student records it contained, was destroyed by fire. No effort was made until now to reconstruct or document the African-American population and its contributions to the institution. Using annuals, student newspapers, and photos provided by African-American alumni, this nearly lost history is being documented for the first time.

The Underground Church proposes that the faithful recapture the spirit of the early church with its emphasis on what Christians do rather than what they believe. Prominent progressive writer, speaker, and minister Robin Meyers proposes that the best way to recapture the spirit of the early Christian church is to recognize that Jesus-following was and must be again subversive in the best sense of the word because the gospel taken seriously turns the world upside down. No matter how the church may organize itself or worship, the defining characteristic of the church of the future will be its Jesus-inspired countercultural witness. Meyers debunks commonly held beliefs about the early church and offers a vision for the future rooted in the past. He proposes that the church of the future must leave doctrinal tribalism behind and seek a unity of mission instead. Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu says of this volume: "Robin Meyers has spoken truth to power, and the church he loves will never be the same."
