Bare Witness


And this book is my favorite!


The mandate of John Paul II, on the laity was to “get out and disturb the conscious”… this book will do just that! The book jacket alone will do this and to the ignorant who do not know the “story” behind Lady Godiva … no she was not into streaking and flashing people … no to the contrary, she was a strict Catholic with a heart for the poor and the oppressed in life … read about her in my book  and you will have some “eye opening moments” … as to what it means to be naked before the Lord.


To be naked is to be without shame most say … I say that is true “shame” is a product of sin not a product of grace. Adam and Eve only felt shame at being naked after they fell from grace.

eBook version 





Spiritually Illustrated


After being told by the Catholic Church since, well forever that sins of the flesh will cast you into hell for all eternity, this being especially true for women according to the church and most religions. Why,  it is worthy of being stoned if not literally at least metaphorically, within the church. Make sure you are well covered they say to women, from your head to your feet. And for God’s sake do not be “suggestive or alluring to men”,  you slut!  


So imagine my shock when I learned over 10 years ago that there was a sexually suggestive annual calendar of “hot priests” (real Catholic priests that is) being sold every year in Rome near the Vatican. Yes these young hot priests are doing cheesecake, “for the good of the church”, they say … if that be true why don’t they have a few old and chubby priests on their calendars … why just the hot young ones with suggestive poses?  


Then imagine what I thought,  when I learned of all the sexual abuses in the Catholic church and the blatant in your face homosexual parties being held in local dioceses and even at the Vatican. And gay priest posting on Facebook photos of themselves with their gay lovers (who are also priest), like they did in my home diocese   … wow…. what an eye opener … here take a look ...https://choosing-him.blogspot.com/2019/01/active-love-life-of-gay-priests-in.html


So as a female and a heterosexual… who has no problem with gays… just those gays who hide behind a Roman collar to judge other gays and well they judge everyone!  …


I thought it only fair that I be given the opportunity to have my own magazine … “spiritual illustrated” and kick it off with the swimsuit issue …

The cost of this book is high (hey Amazon is charging me a lot to print it, I mean a real lot!) and also the cost of the hot priestly calendars are high as well and they say they are evangelizing with them … Hey so am I in my book!


And all being equal my Bishop (Paterson diocese) charges you $50 to hear him talk about the Bible and that is only an hour and half lecture … with my book it is less money and you get to keep the book! And I wrote it … the Bishop did not write the Bible …


And plus a proportion of the profits off this book will go to the victims of clergy abuse and there are thousands of them!  Each with a heartbreaking story to tell…    

In consideration of you buying my book (in paper form) I am allowing all of my eBooks that are also in paper form to be read,  for free until January 2, 2020 ... When was the last time you got anything for "free" from the Catholic Church! 

But please buy the paper version as well ... keep it on your coffee table ... what a conversation starter it would be for gays and heterosexuals alike!  






Is It really God?


Is it really God ... This is the story of my spiritual journey, warts and all … first published as an eBook while I was under the direction of a priest in my home diocese … He approved it … and at the end of the day the title is true … does anyone really know “God” and if he is speaking to anyone or calling anyone?... The only one who knew and knows God is his Son Jesus Christ and it is to Him a soul must go … not a visionary, a mystic, a saint, a priest, the hierarchy of the Church or even the Pope … they hold the key to an earthly domain, the “KEY” to heaven is the Cross and there is only One on it …   
 
I changed the book jacket on this paper version of my eBook

Just Fess Up


Most if not all thinking within the Catholic Church is dominated by men, hence we only get one angle of thought, the male version. God created two humans in the garden, both came with a brain and intellectual capacities. The hierarchy seems to think women were only created to have babies and be under the rule of their husbands … this is not the take I have, God is both genders within or there would not be two genders (biologically speaking)  and God is not a greater and a lesser within himself .

True confessions on some level is a plea to the hierarchy in the church to fess up themselves to truth.    





Rings around the collar


I believe that priests (the original apostles)  were called as “married men” by Jesus Christ and this book speaks to my reasons why I believe there should be married men now in the priesthood. It would go along way to stop the sexual abuses within the clergy and hierarchy of the Church, which still happens.







Single Mom book


I changed the cover on this book when I printed it but it is the same story as my eBook only in paper form ... My children are very successful and productive members of society and I am tired of hearing the falsity that children of a single parent home are destined to be failures in life. Being a good parent is not conditional on having a spouse many times the opposite is true.  






Bleeding in Jersey City


I printed this book in "color" which costs a lot more to print ... I kept the book in color so you can see the amazing opening of Ray's hands in real photographic time as I interviewed him ... you would not be able to see that if I kept the book in black and white ... I believe Ray is God's grace of what the future of the faithful will look like ... gathered together in homes, like the Church in its earliest beginnings,  not in large corporate structures /  Edifices to human greed, which they are now.
