Their high lifestyle has them running out of money in a short time, so they constantly come up with ways to mooch off other people. When that isn't enough, Dirk steals money from his elderly parents who have signs of dementia, and then plots to kill them-twice. It looks like to be a tragic ending for Patsy and Dirk, but is it...?

Rev. Fr. Oluoma Chinenye J. Releases BLISS
by BWW News Desk - July 18, 2013
'By the grace of God you have been saved through faith.'( Eph 2:8) Faith is the activator and receptor of the graces of salvation; without faith people are at the risk of losing the grace of salvation. Faith is like the hammer that shatters impregnable rocks and causes water to gush forth. A man's faith can get him something from a place where people get nothing. Like the woman who suffered from the flow of blood and got healed by touching the hem of Jesus' garment, faith can get a tangible touch that changes one's destiny and story forever. The sacraments are not Jesus, they are like Jesus' garments, and one can 'touch' them with faith and receive a blessing. This is what this new book, BLISS (Blessed Life In Seven Sacraments) is all about. It will bless all Christians who read and pray with it.

Robinson A. Milwood Unveils British Christianity and the Slave Trade in Africa in New Book
by BWW News Desk - July 18, 2013
Through author Robinson A. Milwood's research in writing his previous book on African Humanity, he became deeply moved by the oppressions, exploitations and sufferings of the slaves. He was particularly disturbed by the fact that the punishments and crimes were committed by the churches, Quakers, society for the Propagation of the Gospels in Foreign Parts, the Royals and Intellectuals. Thus, in Western European and British Barbarity, Savagery, and Brutality in the Transatlantic Chattel Slave Trade: Homologated by the Churches and Intellectuals in the Seventeenth -Nineteenth Century - A Critical Study, Milwood outlined the gruesome and brutal punishments of the slaves. It is his firm postulation that Christianity is fraudulent in that British Christianity was nothing more than melliferous chimerical spiritual and psychological opium for the slaves as their pre-libation and nemesis for heaven. Readers will become aware that the transatlantic slave trade is one of the most relevant and hottest subjects being studied today because of its economic and technological relevance to the developed world and the pandemic inverse of development in Africa.
