As a boy growing up, I really didn't experience the spiritual benefits of being born Jewish nearly as much as the associated anti-Semitism. Although my childhood friends were all Jewish, my experience with anti-Semitism began later in my teenage years as I developed friendships with non-Jewish boys outside of my immediate neighborhood. It was then, and during the time I served in the U.S. Army, that I became very familiar with the term Christ killer. Consequently, I had a lifelong yearning to someday find out exactly who Jesus Christ was, why he died the way he did, and why my Jewish ancestors have been blamed and branded ever since. It was in my senior years when I decided to pursue this lifelong challenge in hopes of, perhaps, exonerating the Jewish People. In developing a plan in pursuit of this challenge something amazing happened as one question led to another question which led to many more questions, the result of which turned into a two-year research project and the writing of this book. Not only did I find compelling answers to my many questions beyond any reasonable doubt, I actually experienced a spiritual journey that developed into a clear picture and intellectual understanding of why and how biblical events actually occurred, such as The Creation Story at the very beginning in The Book of Genesis. Having walked what I believe was a Divinely Inspired Road Map, I invite you to read my testimony and be inspired!

Understanding The Torah is a documentary follow-up to Before the Sermon - Know the Truth Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. Whether Jewish or Gentile, the best way to come to know GOD is to read and diligently study HIS WORD. This book is an exact copy of The King James Version of The Torah with the inclusion of notes and commentaries attempting to explain and bring together the archaically written verses. The Torah was given to the Jewish People to learn, obey, and ultimately share with all of GOD's Creation. Read it, learn it, OBEY it, and you will be BLESSED in this life as GOD's GRACE has saved your soul in the next life!My in-depth study and writing of this book opened an opportunity for me to develop and grow a personal relationship where I got to know GOD, and more importantly, I believe GOD got to know me. The key to writing this book was to come to know GOD, not just know about GOD. To this end, I believe GOD wants the reader of HIS WORD to advance their knowledge base by asking questions to which answers are sought to the point of understanding; hence "diligently seeking him," as stated in The Book of Hebrews, Chapter 11, Verse 6. When you achieve an understanding of The Torah, you will see a clear picture of a very Purposeful GOD with specific reasons for everything HE says and does. So, I decided to painstakingly study each verse in each chapter in each book of The Torah attempting to see GOD's Purposes as the means of explaining GOD's WORD; in essence, if HIS Purpose is clear then HIS WORD is clear.

This retitled first revision of The Faithful and the Fallen, originally published in 2008, is a retrospect as told to a group of journalists by a United States Senator about to be nominated to run for President of the United States. Going back to the Great Depression, his story transcends four generations beginning with two unrelated Jewish immigrant families that settled in separate very tough ghettos in New York City; one on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the other in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. More than just the hardships and difficulties each family faced, the Senator's story is about good vs. evil; a story of honor, responsibility, humility, deep faith, and evil beyond imagination. It's a story of those in his family whose roots were predestined to secure the destiny of a future U.S. President. The main characters include three young homeless brothers surviving on the streets of Manhattan's Lower East Side, one of which is the future father of the Senator. Displaced from their home and family after the accidental death of their father, these three young boys survive the Great Depression eating out of trash cans and living unnoticed in the cellar of the very tenement building where their mother and sister live with a charitable neighbor. At only ten, the oldest brother's primary mission is to keep his promise to honor the wishes of his father to care for the family should something befall him. As soldiers the three brothers become World War II heroes as two question their faith after seeing the carnage upon entering the Dachau Concentration Camp as the first liberators.

A Middle Eastern conspiracy to transform American thinking with the goal of changing the U.S. Government to an autocracy under the control of an American born U.S. President, orphaned soon after birth forty years earlier, and reared by a Saudi Arabian elitist. The story includes the conspiratorial plans to alter the American thought process as a means of winning the party's primary, and swaying the national vote for the Presidency of the United States. The rival in this presidential election scheme is a two-term United States Senator about to be nominated to run for President, who happens to be Jewish. Interviewed by a group of journalists, he is asked about his family history. The Senator's story transcends four generations to the Great Depression, beginning with two unrelated Jewish immigrant families that settled in separate, very tough ghettos in New York City; one on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and the other in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.

Sentient is a thought-provoking, fast-paced, 65,000-word speculative fiction novel set in the post-human dominated world of the future. A century has passed and yes, the human race stumbled into evolutionary compromise. But it''s not the androids who are the victors. Post-humans have exploded into pre-eminence, gaining tech superiority and a tech immunity against the global environmental degradation. Humans are trivialized, a minority species, their last significant task, restore the environmental damage they inflicted on Earth and terraform off-planets. One human, Dane Walker and his ''biot'' android, Hali, embark on such a journey to Mars where Dane''s sister, Zi, heads a mining operation extracting a rare, highly prized natural resource (Elithium), that will fuel nuclear fusion reactors to drive the terraforming process. But, there''s one last piece of the puzzle to make terraforming of the whole planet a reality. The development of a multiverse quantum computer (Trojan), overseen by her brother, Dane. Dane is compelled to leave those he loves, to accompany the smuggled Trojan computer on a shipment of terraforming equipment bound for Mars, but en route, the project is infiltrated by hostile secret operatives assigned to stop them. An epic battle ensues, that will prove to become a flash point in human, post-human relations and the evolutionary fate of mankind.

The legend lives on in Phantoms… as modern day Phantom of the Opera, Eric Destler, plots to take over and rule the Palais Garnier with La Divina, the world-famous soprano, Carlotta Caccini, as his queen. But at every turn he is thwarted by his nemesis, the original Phantom of the Opera, now the Opera Ghost. Phantoms is set in the dark underground of the famous Paris Opera House and the stage above, where Guiseppi Verdi's famous opera, Macbeth is being rehearsed, one hundred years on from the first appearance of Le Fantôme de l'Opéra in 1910. It is about parallel worlds, where opera imitates life with potentially catastrophic results.This is a tale about many phantoms - the real, imagined and ethereal - that haunt us all. And about the phantoms who live in the darkest recesses of the mind, often lurking behind beautiful facades. A world where some masks can't be seen."Phantoms is a fast-paced story set in the sumptuous Paris Opera House - with all its secrets and rivalries - and pays tribute to the beauty of the human voice. Against that is the stark reality of temptation, ghosts and visions, torture and cruelty, guilt, remorse and damnation - and, in the end, salvation."DR KIM MURRAY
