The historic context is that the structure of this book is outlined and based on my education and background. This diverse set of backgrounds made me fertile ground for studies in the paranormal. I was essentially bred for this position with both my education and special interests. By 1973, more than 25 scientists and six graduate students were working on various projects, primarily involving ESP and biofeedback studies. So, Seal Corp. wanted to develop a special group within the military, with skills verging on the paranormal. These are the basic tools we discovered in the 1970s to create supermen. They are now made available to duplicate that training (protocols), for use in our daily life. The goal, of course, would be take personal responsibility for our own evolution, by using the toys (power tools) of this century.

So, who was Jesus? A vagabond. A nobody from the middle of nowhere. Perfectly positioned for insignificance. And yet, this itinerant teacher changed the world. He came to set the record straight--to expose the lies and reveal the truth; to teach us how to live a life of joy, peace, and purpose; to be our guide.Jesus offers a new life, charged with supernatural power and sealed with an eternal guarantee. Our destinies are connected, each one a modest but essential element in a much grander narrative, a chronicle filled with brokenness and failure but also with rescue and redemption. We innately understand that our lives are part of a larger, more beautiful story.This book is about exploring that story and discovering a brave new world. A world where guilt and shame are sent to die and where love and grace rise from the grave. Discover the truth and allow Jesus to set you free.

In 2005 there were 751 new car franchise-rooftops owned by African Americans. As of December 2017, that number declined drastically to 270, out of a total of 19,284 American new car franchise-rooftops. In 2005, black car dealers accumulated billions of dollars in wealth; unfortunately, they lost most of it when the recession ended in 2009. Yet African Americans continue to purchase new cars in record numbers. African Americans purchased 1,105,931 new cars in 2015, with gross revenue of $35,357,792,000, most of which went to white car dealers. With an annual growth rate of 9.4%, it’s estimated that African Americans will purchase over 1.5 Million New Cars in 2020, with gross revenue surpassing $50 Billion! With African Americans owning only 1.4% of car dealerships nationwide, can we afford to give $50 Billion dollars of our hard-earned income every freaking year to folks who don’t look like us? Should African Americans allow automobile manufactures to continue this gross injustice annually? Or should we call a timeout? Should we stop buying new cars until they allow us to own some franchises where we’ll be able to spend our $50 Billion dollars with folks who look like us? $50 Billion dollars circulating within the African American community can go a long way and will do wonders for African Americans! It will create jobs with fair incomes and will allow Blacks to purchase houses that appreciate in value instead of simply buying cars that depreciate. Ultimately, it will allow Blacks to build wealth. After all, it’s our damn money! In September of 1992, at the age of 36, after a 10-year career as a Business Consultant for Ford Motor Company and a Ford Dealer Trainee, I joined the ranks of the Black car dealers in America and became the proud owner of a Lincoln Mercury franchise in St. Louis, Missouri. Five years later, like the majority of Black car dealers, I lost my franchise. Were we all poor businessmen and women? Were we all victims of bad luck? Were we victims of social engineering that failed? Or were we part of a great business idea that lacked the support to overcome our unique business challenges? This book takes you on my journey of becoming a car dealer. It offers a bird’s-eye view of the automobile industry. It evaluates the conditions under which I and many other Black car dealers operate in order to determine why so many of us failed. Dealing also chronicles the emotional highs and lows I experienced both before and after becoming a Black car dealer. I discuss some of the challenges I faced while climbing the corporate ladder at Ford and how I positioned myself to acquire a Ford Franchise. The experiences recorded in this book are based on recollection, interviews, and records I’ve retained over the years. As I share these experiences and opinions, please note that I have absolutely no intention of harming anyone or any institution; I do not wish to throw anyone under the bus. These are simply my experiences, good, bad, and indifferent, and I am happy to share them with you. Please also note that in many instances, pseudonyms have been used to protect the privacy of the individuals involved. Although I share my experiences biographically, this book is a business book. Business students, young executives climbing the corporate ladder, young entrepreneurs, and consumers looking to purchase a car will enjoy reading this book. I share a host of experiences and scenarios that offer insight into the automobile industry from the perspective of both manufacturing and retail.
