It is Time You Start Walking With God
“It is Time You Start Walking With God.” You cannot take the nourishment of your mind lightly.
You cannot assume that the voices you are exposed to everyday are feeding you the proper
nourishment you need to live a successful life. You must question the conduct of others and
separate yourself from any man who does not live by the word of God. The course of your life
comes from your mind and the thoughts of your mind come from your spirit. It is your spirit that
leads you to action. So, if your actions have led you away from God you need to consider who is
feeding your mind and who is affecting your soul.
It is the Devil’s goal to separate you from God. The Devil will begin with a nudge, then a pull,
and finally a tug so you can take a plunge into darkness where you will stay until eternity. To
avoid the cistern of darkness you must take time for reflection, analyzing your conduct and
consider what you believe is right and what you believe is wrong. Ask yourself “Can I walk with
God if I commit adultery or fornicate? Can I walk with God if I lie to my coworkers or mistreat
my customers?” If you are doing these things, then you are not walking with God. You have
pushed Him from your life and you are allowing the Devil and his helpers to entice you into a
world of sin and debauchery. Your division from God does not have to be as blatant as adultery
or fornication. It can be as small as not caring for your fellow man or purchasing pornography.
You must sit down and decide once and for all who you are and what type of life you want to
lead.
Just consider this: walking with God is not difficult. He offers you the same pleasures as the
world offers only the consequence are different.

If You Believe In God You Do Not Belong In Prison
Destruction begins with temptation. Then temptation lends itself to thoughts of “Why not? What
would it matter? Who will know?” Slowly you are drawn into participating in an activity that you
believe is wrong but the world has convinced you that there should be no experience denied to
you. Hundreds and hundreds of men and women have begun a path of destruction based on
temptation. We can name these men and women. Many of these people you know. You can
name them from their stories in the newspapers. There was a Mr…
-Robert Acremant who was charged with the murder of Michelle Abdill.
-Jabar Abdullah who was charged with the murder of Mrs. Beulah Abdullah.
-Mohammad Abequa who was accused of the murder of Mrs. Nihal Abequa.
-Morris Abraham was convicted for the murder of Mrs. Virginia Abraham Reginald Scott and Roy
-Tooks were charged with the murder of Kia Adams Reginald Scott and Roy Tooks were charged
with the murder of Peggy Adams.
-Michael Barnhart was charged with the murder of Elaine Adelsberger.
-Charles W. Aglin was charged with the murder of Tina Agin.
-Anthony Otero was charged with the murder of Virginia Airasolo Steven Banks who was charged
with the murder of Mrs. Felicia Banks.
-Paul Nowack who was convicted for the murder of Mary Banks.
-James Edward Clayton who was executed for the murder of Lori M. Barrett.
-Odell Barnes Jr. who was executed for the murder of Helen Bass.
-Sean Sellers who was charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Vonda Bellofatto.
-Jose Del Toro Jr. who was charged with the murder of Mrs. Sheila Bellush.
All these men began their lives just like you and I. They went to work, dreamed dreams but in
one instant they crossed the line in their behavior and they ended up in prison. We believe what
made them cross the line is they forgot about God. What do you think? Have you ever forgot
about God?

The Wall
The Wall was written to provide food for your thoughts, to allow you to feast on God's word, to
inspire you to think, to give you strength, to help you when the hour is dark, and to let you know
that the God you serve is the God of the impossible. God is with you. No matter who you are or
where you are, God is with you. God wants you to believe in Him. When God calls, your
deliverance is at hand. You must recognize the time when God comes to save you. Follow the
voice within when you hear God call, because God is now calling you. There is nothing greater
than living with God's love.
If your life is like this:
If you can't sleep, if you are confused, if you can't keep a job, if your wife has left you, if your
children hate you, if you lie awake at night, if you just lost your house, if you are tired and
hungry, if you are looking for a wife, if you are alone and unhappy, if you can't make up your
mind, if you think people don't like you, if you are looking for a soul mate, if your life is filled
with anger and fear, if you are fighting sickness and disease, or if you can't get along with your
neighbor, you need to try God.
But, if you decide to try God, don't think you can continue to do this:
Lie to your wife. Disrespect your neighbor. Bed your brother's wife. Dishonor your children,
and cheat your customers. Do not think you can play God like a genie in the bottle, where He will
appear only when needed. Because once invited in, God may decide not to leave. Then what are
you going to do?

You Are The Prophet of Your Life

You can have what you say but you must be consistent. When you oscillate back and forth you
are being consistently inconsistent. That is right. You are consistently sowing seeds of doubt and
disbelief and that is what you are harvesting. Whatever you put in the ground of your heart will
grow. If you put doubt and disbelief in your heart, that will be your harvest. You can have what
you say but what you say must be consistent. You must consistently speak faith and wellness.
If you continually speak the problem, that is all you will harvest, the problem. Whatever you
consistently say you will believe. If you are constantly telling yourself you are no good, you
cannot learn, no one will want you then that will be the results of your life. You keep talking
yourself into trouble. What you need to do is purchase a concordance, find the scripture that will
fit your need, say the scripture, receive the scripture and rehearse the scripture to firmly root
God’s word in your heart. Soon the word will come from your heart out of your mouth as creative
force. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Change your heart so that what you speak is in line with God. Go to the word and speak the
word. The world will send you downhill; the world will depress you, and make you believe that
your situation is hopeless. To fight all of the depressing things you are told each day, plant the
word in your heart and prophesize health and wealth to yourself. Soon, what you say will
become what you believe and you will see the results of that belief in your life.

God's Encouraging Words To Heal Your Mind Soul and Body
This book is packed with powerful instruction. There is victory in prayer! Stop hoping that your
prayers will be heard and start praying with confidence that you will have what you ask
according to God's word. True success is not based on wealth or status; it is based on how well a
person thinks. Your thinking can be changed by the word of God. It is important to be aware of
the words you speak to others, and to be aware of your thoughts and the way you respond to
every situation especially during turbulent times. Put yourself in line with God's plan for your life
by attending to his word daily.
The key to change is to avoid negative thinking. Negative thinking has killed more people than
any disease or bomb. Negative thinking will stop you in your tracks. It will fill you with fear and
you will never accomplish anything in your life. You must begin to pay attention to what you say
to yourself because if you are constantly saying negative things to yourself you will begin to
believe yourself. Avoid negative people. Anyone that does not feed into your changing your life
positively must be avoided. Those of you who have used drugs or alcohol will need psychiatric
help. Seriously, if you have used drugs for any length of time your ability to think and to control
your emotions has been impaired and you may need extensive psychiatric care for you to
complete your transformation. Remember negative thinking is a habit and so is positive thinking.
Make an effort to develop the habit of thinking positive and all of your negative habits will
become things of the past, especially the negative people you once lived around.
One way to clear your mind regarding employment, is to first ask yourself what you want to
become. Ignore the fools who will tell you that you are too old because they have no dreams
inside of them.

Friday, April 22, 2000 Doris Haddock age 90 was arrested and charged in Washington D.C. for
demonstrating illegally. Doris Haddock's age did not control her action or temperament. She
believed she had the right to protest, so she did. Apparently Ms. Haddock led her life according
to the tune beating inside of her rather than her age.
Tuesday, June 28, 1988, Alfaretta Corner received her masters from Western Michigan
University. She drove 100 miles round trip for four years to attend the university. Alfaretta
Corner is 83 years old which means she began her master's work at the age of 79. Imagine
having enough guts to complete a college application at the age of 79. Apparently Mrs. Corner
was not afraid of laughter.
The greatest trick in the world is used by the Devil in his philosophy of “I can't.”
Do you know what glory you will bring to the house of God if you stand up like women and
change? You have been called trash and no good all your life. It is time to change and it is time
for you to define yourself. Do you know what shouts would be heard in heaven if you adopt the
philosophy that “I can do whatever it is I want to do under the will of God”? Say to yourself that
“He is my source of strength and that His way is my way.” God's philosophy is the philosophy of
“I can.” The Devil's philosophy is the philosophy of “I can't.” This is why the people who follow
the Devil end up suffering throughout their lives. You say you can't find a job so you steal. You
say you can't go to college so you work menial jobs all your life. You say you can't buy a home
like neighbor so you try to seduce your girlfriend's husband to make yourself equal. You commit
all sorts of vile and filthy acts to get back at the world for rejecting you. You become the
embodiment of hate. No light shines in your life. Your eyes are dull.
Everything you do goes towards destruction. Finally, you become the Devil's disciple by inflicting
pain and suffering on everyone you meet. The reason why you have not been successful is you
have been thinking from a position of weakness. As soon as you think “I can't”, you have defined
yourself as weak.
You must learn that you can do whatever you want to do under God's will.

Murdered Voices
This book was written to save lives. It was written to save your life and the lives of your mother,
daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, grandmother, and child.
This book was written to provide you with information to help you make decisions regarding your
safety and the safety and welfare of your children.
This book was also written to keep your death from becoming a murder statistic, and to bring the
number of women being murdered in this country to the attention of America.
Murdered Voices is not a murder mystery or thriller where the victim is put on public display.
Murdered Voices is the preamble to the examination of the murder of 252,287 American women,
giving recognition to their lives. Murdered Voices is filled with information that is not commonly
known which we want to share with you. We want the American woman to believe something
can be done to prevent the rapes and murders that are occurring throughout our country. Some
of you may want to sit at home and pretend all is well but every time your daughter walks out of
your home the possibility that she may not return grows exponentially. The only chance she has
to survive is if you stand up, become informed, and participate in the defense of yourself. Also,
for you to say “My husband loves me” in the face of adultery is comparable to committing
suicide. There is nothing wrong with loving a man and being careful but not foolish at the same
time. Just because you are married does not mean your brain has to stop working. Two plus two
equals four whether you are married or single. The question is why does he want to take a large
life insurance policy out on your life (e.g. Mrs. Sherri Dally, Mrs. Liana Duke, Mrs. Trish
Willoughby, Mrs. Miriam Illes, Mrs. Carol Bruce, Mrs. Nannette Hansen, Mrs. Leslie Larson, Mrs.
Cathy Frost Larson, etc.), when you do not have children? Would it not help you to know how
other women were murdered in this country and the signs leading up to their deaths? Do you not
think this information would improve your chances of survival?
Or do you want to be the last to know like Mrs. Linda Sandler of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Jamie
Stonier of Massachusetts, or the ex Mrs. Clayton Miller of Michigan? It just so happened that
these particular women survived their ordeal.
Mr. Joel Sandler, 52, was convicted January 16, 2004 of hiring and paying an undercover
detective $30,000 to kill his wife. Mr. Sandler did not want to share the family assets of $4.5
million during the couple's divorce. Linda Sandler was seeking a divorce after suffering years of
abuse during the marriage. Joel Sandler was convicted of solicitation to commit first-degree
murder and five counts of criminal use of a telecommunication device. Mr. Sandler's wife had fled
the state in fear for her life. Her husband used a detective and a phone to track her down. His
wife made the mistake of telling him she wanted a divorce but did not want to move out of the
family home until the children finished school for the semester. Mr. Stonier took the position that
he wanted custody of his son and he wanted to get on with his life. To accomplish these two
goals required the death of his wife, Jamie Stonier, so April 10, 2003 Mr. Harold Stonier paid a
hit man (an FBI agent) to murder his wife.
Mrs. Clayton Miller married right after high school in the 1980's. She stayed in the marriage
for eighteen years and had seven children so her marriage was important to her. She divorced
her husband after years of abuse. October 16, 2001 the Michigan State Police phoned her and
told her that her ex-husband was just arrested for solicitation to murder. Mr. Clayton Miller paid
a hit man (an undercover police officer) to have his ex-wife, two of their children, and her new
husband murdered. He called the death of his two children collateral damage. The most
outstanding characteristic about Mr. Miller is that he is a liar. He lied and said he was a Vietnam
Veteran. He is not! He never fought for this country. Mr. Clayton Miller has never worn a military
uniform. He is just a common, garden-variety bully. Mr. Miller was a has-been, this is why he
was so mean and vicious to his wife and children throughout the marriage. He never had the
courage to be the man he envisioned for himself. He failed at being a man which therefore made
him fail at being a husband and a father. Mr. Miller has subsequently been convicted and
sentenced to 30 years in prison but he is eligible for parole in six years. Once Mr. Miller is
paroled what is this family going to do? The Institute does not believe the state of Michigan will
feel Mr. Miller is a threat to his family and he will be paroled.
Michigan is a parole state. Karen King, a beautiful 18-year old Michigan State University
student, was abducted and murdered January 3, 1997 by a parolee, a man who was paroled
October 31, 1996. It took him and his cousin just two months to find a victim. Michigan has
frequently paroled murderers and rapists, so why should Mr. Miller be required to serve thirty
11
years in prison for merely threatening his ex-wife and her husband? Mr. Miller was allowed to
plead guilty to only one charge of solicitation to murder when it was clear he wanted four people
murdered. Mr. Miller was clearly not happy about losing control over his family. Is prison
supposed to transform Clayton Miller into a caring human being and a genial father? The
solicitation to murder was the final act of exerting control and power (I'll show you). We shall see
what the Michigan Parole Board thinks in 2008.
The reason why the decisions you make regarding your safety are so important is because
you are a mother and you are the only natural protector of your children. If you make the wrong
decision regarding your safety, your children will be left motherless. A motherless child is the
most wretched person in the world. Understand this, motherless children must do as they are
told, they have no negotiator and no sovereignty over their bodies. The children that survive
foster care are dumped onto our city streets with no family affiliations, support, or hope to begin
a future. What are they to do? They are poorly educated and bruised and battered emotionally.
Predators set upon most motherless children. These predators use the naiveté of motherless
children to their sexual and financial advantage. The motherless children are obliging because
they have been trained to be conciliatory all their lives under the foster care system. Our society
has moved so fast in the last fifty years that it has not considered those among us that are living
in pain. The casualties are accumulating in our cemeteries. Many of these individuals were
motherless children. It is not fair for you to leave your children motherless. Regardless of what
society or your girlfriend says with respect to your responsibility towards your children, you are
intrinsically linked to the destiny of your child's life. The responsibility of a mother toward her
child cannot be abdicated so every time you consider your safety you must ask yourself “Have I
placed myself in a situation of danger (talking too much) by my decision or my failure to respond
to a dangerous signal?” If you choose to ignore this warning or if you feel insulted by our
insolence, the next time you hear a child cry, stop and listen to the wailing when the child cries
“mommy.”
The goal of Murdered Voices is to get women to change. We want women to begin thinking more
about their safety and to do more about violence against women and children in this country. To
bring about this change we will briefly discuss the circumstances surrounding the murder of
1,209 of the 1,747 women mentioned in this book. 1,534 Americans, one Argentinean, and two
Canadians women murdered on American soil, one hundred and twelve Canadian women, and
ninety-six Mexican women, and two American women murdered on Mexican soil. Less that onepercent of these murder cases are nationally known.
As a nation of free women we must rise to the occasion. We must not look to the past except as
a lesson to the future. We do not have to be concerned with fear. Fear shall take care of itself.
We must focus on solving the problem of violence against women and children in this county. We
must meet this challenge to insure the welfare and safety of our children and female relatives.
We must pledge to one another that we shall fight and not die on our knees.
This book was written to call you to action.
Because this book was written for you to call you to action, we ask that you take your time and
read this book carefully. You have much to consider.

Are you having an awful time at life? Are you unhappy with the way your life is going? Are you
unhappy with the way you are living? Do you feel like you are the only person feeling this way?
Are you constantly being pressured to make one decision after another with no end in sight? Do
you wish that you could start all over again and meet new people? Do you want to make
difference in life and you do not know how? Do feel like no one is listening to you? Do you feel
like no one understands you and what you are going through?
If you feel this way, then it is about time for you to change. That is correct, it is about time for
you to change. It is about time for you to disengage yourself from the world system and try God.
It is just that simple.
If you have finally decided to give up and are at your wits end then it is time that you try God.
You have tried all of the world’s systems to no avail so maybe it is time that you try God. You do
not have to worry about failing because God will show you the way to prosperity, health and
wealth. You can be a success at life. He will improve your family relationships, move you to a
better neighborhood, see that you go to college, and find you a successful mate.

Women of Courage
Apprehensive about your future! Afraid to apply for a job! Read a book
filled with encouragement. Read a book that will give you the spirit to
win. “God spoke the following words to Joshua, He said, Have I not
commanded You? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not
be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you
go.” (Joshua 1:9)
Later when Joshua amassed his troops to go to war against Israel’s
enemies, this is what he told his troops, "Do not be afraid; do not be
discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the LORD will do to
all the enemies you are going to fight." (Joshua 10:25) Joshua
translated the courage God gave to him to his men. Joshua knew he
could rely upon God. Joshua knew he could rely upon God because whenever he needed God,
God was there.
Joshua took what he learned for his experiences with God and offered what he learned to his
men so they too could grow. This is what the author of Women of Courage has tried to do. She
has amassed the experiences of hundred of women and she is offering these experiences for you
to draw from. She believes that if you read how other women have lived the spark of courage
will be ignited in you and you will live a more fulfilling life.

The Series – Do This in Remembrance of Me was researched and written by
Gloria G. Lee and edited by Valerie Cumming and Jonathan Lee Ames Hop
The Do This In Remembrance of Me series is being offered in eight volumes, The
Deadliest Moment, Murder in The Family, The Career Rapist, The Recidivist, The Ultimate
Punishment, …And Suddenly, The Silent Killers and In The Custody of Others. The series is
the culmination of a 12 year study into the murders of 20,000 American females.
The series was written to effect a change in all America and the world with respect to the
personal safety of women. “The eight volumes of “Do This In Remembrance of Me” contain
historical data regarding the murder of over 20,000 American females from 1902 to 2009.
We request that you do not read these books if you have been a victim of violence or have a
male or female relative or child that has been a victim of violence. The information we offer
regarding the deaths of over 20,000 American women is overwhelming and it is not possible
to read these books without enduring excruciating pain and sorrow. However, pain is not
our objective nor is sensationalism. Our objective is to bring about a permanent change in
the status of the American woman and the women of the world. To meet this objective
penetrating information is being provided.
We believe the women who paid the ultimate
price for freedom should be immortalized. These women should never be forgotten. These
books contain extremely sensitive information; our apologies and condolences to the reader
if this information is regarding a relative, love one and or friend. Although these books
contain in certain areas explicit descriptions of violence, extreme care was taken to allow
the victims as much dignity as possible.
As you read you will realize these descriptions
were made to expand our understanding of violence and to prevent violence against women
and children. Although “Do This in Remembrance of Me” discusses the murder of over
20,000 American women these books are about life not death.
Volume One Part One
Volume One Part Two
The deadliest moment in a woman’s life is the instant she tells her husband she
would like a divorce or she tells her boyfriend she wants to end the relationship. There is no
way a woman can calculate a man’s reaction to a divorce request. This is why this moment
should be carefully planned. A woman should never tell her mate she wants to end the
17
affair or marriage unless she is properly prepared. She should be prepared to flee. She
should be prepared for any eventuality. If you are a woman, once you make the decision
to leave you must conduct yourself as if you are the general of an army. Ask yourself these
questions. What will I need to do if he turns ugly, if he refuses the divorce, if he refuses to
leave the house, if he begins to harass me at work? No woman should be so foolish as to
think she can end a relationship without battle scars. While you are at work, or on the bus
or elsewhere begin to jot down notes. Ask yourself what important papers you will need if
you have to leave the state. Forget those foolish notions that you should not have to leave
your home. All of these ideas are true but the bottom line is a restraining order or a
stalking order cannot save your life if your husband or boyfriend kicks in your door or climbs
in your window and kills you. | ITEM # DO7125-458 Deadliest P1 or P2

A woman can not assume that her husband will think that the best way out of his dilemma
is to ask her for a divorce. Unless the woman knows what her husband's dilemma is she
cannot make any assumption as to how her husband will solve his problem. Once a man
commits adultery his wife is now in the way of his mistress. The wife is in the way of his
financial independence. The wife is in the way of his happiness. She has become a problem
and the children a liability. He wants the silverware and the table setting. The dining room
set should be his because he picked it out from the show room. His wife does not have a
right to his pension because he is the one who went to work everyday. He can’t expect his
girlfriend to accept him without anything. He has to have money so he can make his
girlfriend happy. ITEM # DO7335-868Murder | 8.5 x 11 inches |450 pages |$43.95 Part 1 | 8.5 x

Volume Three Part Two
The most important man in a woman’s life is not her father, brother or husband. The most
important man in a woman’s life is the man who successfully hides his intention until he can
exert maximum force to take a woman’s life. He is the man a woman must plan her life
against if she is to survive. Countless women leave their homes everyday never to return
because this man is not a priority in their lives. Women must learn to be watchful. Women
must learn to expect him. Women must learn he can be a neighbor, or a coworker wearing
a smile. He is a man who has dedicated his entire life to the destruction and humiliation of
women. Read and learn to defeat this man’s agenda. Series – Do This In Remembrance of

Murder is neither a singular nor isolated event. Murder is an event and a solution that culminates in
the mind of the perpetrator over time. Murder can occur during the first act of violence against a
woman or it can occur after numerous apologizes. The one characteristic about murder is, it will occur
most certainly sooner or later in an abusive situation. The only question that exists is who will be
murdered the abuser, or the abused? There is a possibility with knowledge and change this dastardly
deed can be prevented.

Touched By The Light Publishing
General Information:
Touched by the Light and its affiliates are all Christian Organizations and are committed
to raising the status of men and women thereby causing their children to prosper and
marriages to flourish. Touched by the Light Publishing wants to make this goal a reality
through presenting the written word to millions of men and women in and out of prison.
Executive Summary
Touched by the Light is in business to help and support non-profit organizations reach
their goals. Our publications are not sold in bookstores. Our books are sold through
non-profit organizations so the profit made from our publications can be used to further
the advancement and protection of women and children.
Our Belief:
We believe that working together we can change the world around us. We believe
women and men have much they can contribute to society. When you help a woman,
you are helping yourself and protecting your family. Meeting the right person or hearing
the right word can make all the difference in a person’s life. A word of encouragement
can spark an idea causing a permanent state of change in a person’s life.
What is a Touched by the Light Fundraiser?
A Touched by the Light Fundraiser is designed to put funds in the hands of churches
and nonprofit organizations so they can better do their work. This truly is an ideal
partnership. The process is grounded in the conviction that a partnership between
nonprofit organizations can be mutually beneficial. When you spend a great deal of
your time seeking money, it is hard to stay focused. Nonprofit organizations have the
ideas and the capacity to solve problems, but not the money needed to implement these
solutions. Now financial resources can be obtained through our fund raiser. The
Touched by the Light Fundraiser brings the two together effectively, and the result is a
dynamic collaboration. The second half of the answer to the above question can be
found in the answer to these questions “What do you want for your members or clients?
How will your organization serve its members or clients? What are your organization’s
long and short term goals?
What does your organization want to provide to its
members or clients? What is the overall direction of your organization?” When you
answer these questions you see the need for a Touched by the Light Fundraiser.
Non-profit fundraising is all about multiple streams of income. When you put together
your annual plan, you need to include as many ways to raise money as possible. Now
that you have been introduced to the Touched by the Light Fundraiser you should ask
yourself how much money do we want to raise for our organization?
Our fundraiser is a well thought-out fundraising strategy that doesn't make too many
demands on any one facet of your organization. Every fundraiser that you conduct
places various demands on your volunteers, your supporters, and your leadership.
Those demands can be time consuming, expensive, and stressful, and your
organization ends up getting back very little or nothing at all for your fundraising efforts.
Thinking smart means taking the time to review past results and strategizing about how
to do better this year. If you don't begin considering some new and creative ideas to
increase your bottom line, how are you going to rise above last year's results?

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions about Fundraising
with Touched by the Light®
____________________________________________________
21
Will a Touched by the Light Fundraiser be as successful as gift-wrap, chocolate, or
other products we have been selling for years?
There are so many factors that contribute to a successful fundraiser it would be
impossible to guarantee success regardless of the product. However, based on past
experience, fundraising with Touched by the Light® can be as successful as any other
product campaign, if not more so, because there are thousands and thousands of
women and men in America who love to read!
Will our organization have a successful fund-raiser with only a few members?
The amount of members in your organization does not determine a successful
fundraiser. For example, there are cases where scout groups of three that had a
$1,300 sale, and an elementary school of 160 that had a sale and sold over $1,700
in cookies!
There are bookstores nearby. Will we sell fewer books because of this?
No, exactly the opposite! Our books will not be offered in any bookstore locally or
nationally during our Fundraising Campaigns. The purpose of our program is to help
organizations assisting women and children and churches. Our purpose is to
strengthen the church and the family.
Aren't Touched by the Light ® books too expensive to use in fund raising?
Our Touched by the Light ® fundraising program offers a variety of books for your
customers not available in local bookstores.
Will our Touched by the Light fundraiser be as successful a second year?
You can expect your second year to be MORE successful as your customers began
discussing their reading experience with family and friends.
Are Touched by the Light® books priced higher than comparable books found in the
local books store?
Our books are priced competitively. The books are not priced higher than
comparable books of the same subject matter and volume. In fact to assist our nonprofit organizations in their fundraising efforts we pay shipping and handling when
our books are delivered to their organization.
Are all Touched by the Light ® books available in fund raising?
Yes! But each season Touch by the Light marketing selects the books they believe
would be most successful in a fundraiser campaign. The selection is based on e-mails
and searching out men and women who are self-published.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
We suggest running your fundraiser for three to six months based on your group’s
goals. Your earnings on all Touched by the Light® books dependents on your volume
of sales. No minimum order is required to conduct a Touched by the Light campaign.
ORDER PROCESSING AND SHIPMENT
Your campaign is accomplished entirely online. The orders will be processed and
shipped in approximately four to six weeks. Shipping and handling should be included

their order. No order will be shipped for insufficient funds. Our payment terms are:
payment must accompany your order. The books will be shipped as the checks clear
the bank.
IMPORTANT!

The Wall Project:
Christian Booksellers HELP STOP VIOLENCE AND RECIDIVISM BY
SUPPORTING OUR PRISON LITERACY PROGRAM
Purchase Now Supported by Touched By The Light Publishing
The Wall Project consists of the distribution of the books to all male and females
prisoners in the United States, in both state and federal prisons. This is a monumental
task, but we are committed to bringing the word of God to the men living behind bars.
The Wall Project was designed to intervene in a prisoner’s life while he or she is in
prison so that the person can begin the process of rehabilitating his/her soul. The book
can also provide spiritual help to individuals on probation or in rehabilitation centers.
The books are tools that a person can use to build inner strength. Our goal is to have
men understand how important men are to the family structure.
There are approximately 1.5 million men sitting in prisons in the United States. This
number is obscene. This number reflects in part the number of children without fathers
and the number of women living in this country without husbands. This number also
reflects the economic disparity in the workplace. We as Americans must correct this
situation. We cannot let another generation of males grow up to become prisoners.
Parole is the Luck of the Draw
A man says, “If you let me out of prison, I won’t do it again. I feel remorse for my past
deeds and I plan to live a better life if I am paroled.” It is possible that he may mean
these very words when he is speaking them to the parole board. But his behavior after
he is released belies his intentions. Inherent in a man’s application for parole is that he
must have the tools and/or community support to keep his promise. A parolee may not
have control over his circumstances; consequently, he may or may not be able to
control his future behavior. Most parolees return to the community unskilled,
unemployed, homeless, and penniless; this is the same situation he or she was in when
they committed their first crime. Their future is bleak. As long as there is a parole
system or sentence limitations, our society needs to engage in activities that will
rehabilitate prisoners. Prisoners must be given tools to improve their lives while they
are in prison.
In the state of Michigan, during the last six months of the year 2002, four parolees
murdered seven people on three different occasions. The parolees’ behavior destroyed
the lives of a number of people. Now there are children left without fathers, wives left
without husbands, and families left without a family member. In 2003, a man was
paroled from prison only to allegedly murder his ex-wife and two of her children within a
week of his parole. Another parolee murdered a child June 19, 2004. Society can no
longer lock men up for their crimes and not attempt rehabilitation. More and more men
and women and children will continue to be assaulted and/or murdered by parolees if
society does not attempt rehabilitation.
Something must be done to stop the violence. Our publishing company believes
introducing men to the word of God, ethics and moral behavior can reduce the violence
being experienced all over this country. Anyone can help with this project by
purchasing a book for a prisoner and asking friends and family to do the same.
The Wall Project
"What do you think a man does who has one hundred sheep and one
of them gets lost? He will leave the other ninety-nine grazing in the
hillside and go and look for the lost sheep. When he finds it, I tell
you, he feels far happier over this sheep than over the ninety-nine
that did not get lost. In just the same way your Father in heaven
does not want any of these little ones to be lost."
- - Matthew 18:12
Touched By The Light Publishing is dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic and sexual
violence through advocacy, education, and related support services. We are currently
distributing copies of the book The Wall; an abuse intervention book aimed at men imprisoned
for acts of violence. The Wall was written in response to the numerous repeat domestic
violence offenders who expressed a need for help in breaking the self-destructive behaviors that
have marred their lives. The Wall is designed to help men recognize mental strongholds and
patterns of behavior that cause them to lash out in violence. It also offers alternative solutions
for managing many of the life difficulties that prevent men from fulfilling their full potential.
These men are the fathers, sons, and brothers needed in our homes. We hope to restore men,
restore families, and heal the wounds caused by domestic violence. We need your help. We
are asking churches, civic groups, and all that care to purchase a book for a prisoner. We
believe a prisoner should be given intensive training while in prison so that once paroled he has
confidence for the future, not fear. To find out more about this and other projects, please
contact our office at734 686 1444. Thank you for your consideration. If you have a relative in
prison, you may want to help us with this project. Our project is designed to keep men and
women from returning to prison. Other books available to prisoners:

When my mother first told me that her coworker (Gloria) wrote Christian books, I
immediately wrote it off as something I wouldn’t be interested in (see I’m not the
religious type). I didn’t even ask her the name of the book.
So a week or so passed before she (my mother), brought it up again and said that the
lady (Gloria) would like to send me a copy to read. I instantly rejected the offer. Not
because I’m ungrateful or anything like that; but because I know me. And I know if it’s
not something I deem interesting (Urban literature) I won’t read it. So my mother
relayed my message to this lady (Gloria), but it was too late…. She had already sent it
off.
I received it that Monday (and you know in prison, any mail is better than no mail).
Well, anyway, the c.o. comes to my door and tell me. I have mail, so I climb down off of
my bunk and open my cell door, and he hands me this big UPS package. I immediately
know what it is. So I open the package and pull it (the book) out. The first thing that
catches my eye, as with any book, is the title. (Now I remind you that I never asked the
name of the book). But this particularly title (If You Believe in God You Do Not Belong
In Prison) caught my eyes because my belief in God isn’t that strong…..if any at all.
At first I thought my mother was trying to be funny. But I decided I would give it a try
anyway, and I gotta admit I’m glad I did. It was nothing like I expected. It seemed to be
well researched and very informing, especially for those with a blind eye of how the
system really works.
Now I’m not going to sit here and lie an say reading the book changed my life, or
belief, but I won’t say it can’t change someone else’s life. I will say this though, if you’re
skeptical of the contents of this books, as I once was, give it a try.

Dear Gloria:
Let me start off by saying thank you for the book; even though originally I said I didn’t
want it. But I can honestly say I’m glad my mother didn’t relay the message in time,
because I thoroughly enjoyed it. (I guess that’s what y’all “believers would say was
God’s work.)
It was different from my usual reading material, which we all need from time to time.
I feel one shouldn’t never limit ones potential of learning/experiencing something new. I
don’t wanna say it’s too late for me, cause it’s never too late (as long as you’re alive),
but in a sense, it is and by that I mean, I’ve already picked up that gun and made that
foolish choice of getting money the “easy way.”
I guess what I failed to realize was the “intervening variable”. And the funny thing is
(now that I’ve read your book) when I look back. I never was nor is a real big betting
man. But yet, there I was constantly betting with destiny. I had an old head tell me a
couple years ago: “the more you do something (illegal), the greater your chances are of
getting caught.” But I never looked at it that way. Unconventional thinking had me
believing that more I got away with it, the more I would. I guess you can say I was
using that old adage: Practice makes perfect.
I don’t wanna take up too much of your time so I’m going to end the letter on this
note. I would like to check out some more of your work; and I would one day like to get
into a more in- depth conversation with you about the book I’ve read, as well as the
future books you plan on writing.
Sincerely,
Your Friend Jay

Dear Miss. Lee
I thought this book, If You Believe in God You Don’t Belong in Prison, is the key to a
man’s pre prison destination. The younger man out in the streets really need to read
this book because it can prevent and help them in tough times before they go bad it also
lets you know it is never to late to put the gun down and turn to God no matter how hard
it is in life.
I feel we need more books that focus on our young men like this book to prevent our

Dear Gloria,
First of all I would like to thank you for the spiritually motivated brooks that you have
written. It was truly a blessing to have read your book, “You Are The Prophet of Your
Life.”
As a husband and a father of 5 I’ve been incarcerated twice in 10 years. I didn’t
receive my first felony until I was the age of (31). Now I am 41 years old and on my way
home. The difference this time is I have Christ in my life and I totally understand when
you spoke about us men being the foundation. My wife and children deserve a
spiritually driven man, husband, father in there lives. We must break these generational
curses that our fore fathers have kept us in.
Your book expresses so many wonderful illustrations on how to live for Christ that it
is hard to just talk about one. So let me say then, it’s a blessing to have you in our lives
because you write from the spirit and not the natural realm and we know that it is from
Christ.
Thank you, you brother in Christ Shawn.

About the Book: You Are The Prophet of Your Life
This Book is a great book for someone who is struggling in life to find God. It is a very
inspirational and uplifting book.
It’s a book where once you start it, it’s hard to put down. It’s got real stories of peoples lives that
were restored because they found God.
So it shows a person both sides of life, the right side which is God, or the wrong side which is
the devil.
After reading this book it’s easy to pick the right side.
God Bless

Re: It is Time To Start Walking With God
The book that I read was named …”It is Time You Start Walking With God. Honestly, me
personally received a good message from it. My 1st thought was that the book quoted a lot of
Bible scriptures. And there is very good points about each scripture. This is a very good book
for unbelievers and for believers because it will bring unbelievers to know our Lord Jesus Christ.
And it will help believes stay focused on the right path of righteousness. And 4 unbelievers, this
book actually goes about steps that you take in order to walk with God. This book plainly states
that walking with God is as easy or hard as you make it.
If I wasn’t a believer, after reading tis book, I would be. It touches on mental, physical and
spiritual relationships. It gives you a whole list of things that God expects of us as children of
God. This book clear as day answer the question “Why walk with God?” It even opened my
eyes to some things that I was blind to. I am pleased that I took some time out and read this
book and I encourage all non believers AND believers to read this book also.

Re: Devil’s Cauldron
First and foremost I would like to say that I enjoyed your book. It really inspired me very
much. This is the type of book that I can read over and over again, and continuously learn new
things each time that I visit it. One of the things that I learned from our book - I feel is the
most important thing is to put God first before all things and people. Your book also further
encouraged me to continue to trust God at all times.
Reading your book also reminded me how often the devil is present in our daily lives. From
my understanding, your book declares that God is necessary and required in our lives in order for
us to succeed and have peaceful lives. This is something that I strongly agree with. I feel that
without God as human beings are not strong enough nor fully equipped to stand up against the
devil’s temptations and his numerous attempts to tear us down.
Another benefit that your book offers to me is peace of mind. I’m sure that this book will
have the same effect on everyone who reads it. Shortly after reading your book, I feel like my
senses heightened. I feel as if I became more aware of the wickedness in my presence and he
wickedness surrounding me as well. I felt as if my perceptions and observations of people
changed for the better.
I feel that the title of your books sums up where we are and what we are dealing with in this
life on Earth. I feel tat we can overcome this all by accepting God and walk the path that He
intended for us to walk. I truly can say that I’ve learned a lot of positive information from your
book. This is the type of information that I can share with my family, friends, co-workers, and
neighbors, and I’ll receive positive feedback, input and blessings. By doing this, I and we as
human beings are building ourselves and our characters.
P.S. Thank you for sharing your beautiful message to me. I really appreciate it.
Sincerely,

Below is an explanation of our Literacy and other free program
Touched By The Light Publishing In Partnership
With The Community
A BETTER LIFE AWAITS YOU WHEN YOU READ!
"He Who Reads, Sees"
Literacy is defined as "using printed and written information to function in society, to
achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential."
National Assessment of Adult Literacy
Touched By The Light Publishing just finished a twelve year study in which we
learned that the nation’s ill are founded on violence and poverty and violence and
poverty is founded on the inability of people to read. So we propose to treat the
disease. We wrote books to attack the roots of crime - poverty, poor education, drug
abuse, broken families, and lack of job training. Because of this vision Touched By The
Light Publishing has decided to advocate for 100% Literacy in America. 20% of our
profit shall go toward the Touched By The Light Literacy Program. We recognize that
literacy is the power that changes lives and improves communities. Literacy is critical to
personal freedom. We envisions a world in which everyone can read, write, compute,
and where adults can use technology to lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives.
Statistics have proven that literacy unlocks doors, enhances creativity and people learn
what is going on, on the other side of the world. Literacy impacts lives. Adultery literacy
prepares people for better jobs. Better jobs lead to increased productivity, safer streets,
and happier families. On the other hand:
“Emotional Literacy” is the ability to recognize, understand and appropriately express
our emotions and it is an essential ingredient for life success, happiness, and peace.
Those men and women who do not possess this quality end up in prison or in the grave.
The lack of emotional literacy is in part why many men are in prison today. Our prison
population is 65 – 70% illiterate. Lives are being lost through illiteracy. If we are to
increase employment opportunities for men returning to the community from prison we
must initiate a reading program in prisons throughout the country. We can treat
illiteracy ourselves. No one has to help us. If you teach a man to read you will not have
to teach him to fish.
Did you know Low health literacy cost Americans 238 billion dollars per year?
Did you know that two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the
4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare?
Here are some Literacy statistics with respect to America
LITERACY STATISTICS AND JUVENILE COURT
85 percent of all juveniles who interface with the juvenile court system are
functionally illiterate.
More than 60 percent of all prison inmates are functionally illiterate.
33
Penal institution records show that inmates have a 16% chance of returning to
prison if they receive literacy help, as opposed to 70% who receive no help. This
equates to taxpayer costs of $25,000 per year per inmate and nearly double that
amount for juvenile offenders.
Illiteracy and crime are closely related. The Department of Justice states, "The
link between academic failure and delinquency, violence, and crime is welded to
reading failure." Over 70% of inmates in America's prisons cannot read above a
fourth grade level.
MANY OF THE USA ILLS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO ILLITERACY FEW
STATISTICS:
Literacy is learned. Illiteracy is passed along by parents who cannot read or
write.
One child in four grows up not knowing how to read.
43% of adults at Level 1 literacy skills live in poverty compared to only 4% of
those at Level 5
3 out of 4 food stamp recipients perform in the lowest 2 literacy levels
90% of welfare recipients are high school dropouts
16 to 19 year old girls at the poverty level and below, with below average skills,
are 6 times more likely to have out-of-wedlock children than their reading
counterparts.
Low literary costs $73 million per year in terms of direct health care costs. A
recent study by Pfizer put the cost much higher.
UNICEF says that nearly a billion people will enter the 21st century unable to read
a book or sign their name and two thirds of them are women.
BUSINESS AND LITERACY
Touched By The Light want to impact these lives. We want to change these
statistics by 2021. In ten years we want to go from a society that has over 2 million
men in prison to a society that has less than 10% of this total. Touched By The Light
Publishing believes this goal can be reach if we teach people to read. We can stop the
flow of men into prison.
Because of the above statistics Touched by The Light Publishing is asking 1 million
Americans to teach one person to read. We would like for you to come to our website
and add your signature to our One Million American Reading Campaign. You commit
yourself to teaching one adult to read. You can teach the adult to read at your local
library. You must always stay conscious of your safety. You can conduct the reading
sessions on a Saturday early in the day always in a public place. You must know
something about that person you are teaching to read. You must be cognizant of the
fact that people who cannot read or have difficulty reading will have emotional
problems. They can suffer periods of depression or be extremely unhappy because
they do not see a future for themselves. They may abuse alcohol or drugs. You will
provide the person with a dictionary, a thesaurus, a writing pad and 3 by 5 cards. You
are to encourage the person to use these implements and to build his or her vocabulary.
You are to continue to teach that person to read until that individual can read
competently. If you earn more than $250,000 per year you agree to find a school and
ensure that every child in that school learns to read above a 4th grade level. You are to
contract with a reading agency or company and pay for the students at that school who
are having problems reading. You must understand a person who cannot read nor has
a reading deficiency cannot get a driver’s license, he cannot get a legal job as a taxicab
driver because he cannot read the street signs, he cannot read to past the state driving
test; he cannot get a job as a waiter because he cannot read the menu. This is why the
elimination of the jobs at gas stations had such a devastating effect on the population.
Serving up gas provided employment. Go in and get your car washed every week. You
must support men working low paying jobs.
THE COMMUNITY AND LITERACY - BECOME A PART OF OUR EFFORT
"We must save ourselves. The cavalry is not coming. I don't believe that the federal
government, a few key corporate titans, or some Act of God is going to fix Michigan's
problems; we have to fix them together. Michigan and indeed the nation is in a season
of great hardship, but it is also a season of great opportunity." -- D. Alexander Bullock.
(Jobs and Justice Meeting March 2011)
THE CHURCH AND LITERACY
Churches can play a leading role in changing society by fostering reading and
feeding programs throughout the community for children.
“Our young people are being killed.” “We have to take a stand. … Our babies can’t be
safe even in their homes. …The church must take a stand for what’s right.” “Everyone
has to take part. …Everyone is responsible.”
Rev. Johnnie Alexander, pastor at
Redeem Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit
“We need to take our message to the streets instead of waiting for the streets to come
to the church.” “We should make our presence felt, in a professional way. Not by
saying, ‘You’re going to hell and you’re sinners,’ but by saying what can we do to help.”
Rev. Oscar King, president of the Council and pastor at Northwest Unity Missionary
Baptist Church in Detroit.
TOUCHED BY THE LIGHT PUBLISHING OFFERS A NO RISK, NO UPFRONT COST,
HIGH PROFIT FUNDRAISER THAT WILL BENEFIT YOUR CHURCH AND THE
COMMUNITY Our Book Fundraising Program is designed for churches, faith based
schools, church youth groups, and other non-profit organizations. The proceeds from
our fundraiser can help you expand the services you would like to provide to children
such as improving their ability to read. Depending on participation your church can earn
from $8,400 to $50,000. We are quite serious in supporting organizations that help
children. A Touched By The Light Publishing book fundraiser is an innovative way for
35
churches to raise capital for various projects by using word of mouth and using the
Internet to promote the fundraiser. Our fundraiser is quite simple all your congregation
or volunteers have to do is ask friends family and coworkers to purchase our books from
a TBTL website. The congregation can appeal to friends and family all over the country
in person over the phone or over the Internet. Blog radio or other local stations can be
used to announce your book fundraiser. Our well thought-out fundraising strategy
doesn't make too many demands on any one facet of your organization. Children are
not put at risk. The fundraiser is conducted by adults. The fundraiser is not conducted
in your sanctuary. Our fundraiser is not time consuming, expensive, nor stressful, and
your church will get a lot back for your fundraising efforts. Our fundraisers are well
received because our books foster reading self-improvement, problem solving and
learning the word of God.
MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN IN PRISON AND LITERACY Support our Adult Literacy
Program
Do you have a son or daughter in prison? Are you quietly waiting for his or her
release?

so
you
should
watch
our
literacy
video
at
www.touchedbythelightliteracyprogram.com and volunteer to help Touched By The
Light Literacy Program by directly friends and family to our website to make a book
purchase. The proceeds from these purchases will help us improve the lives of
countless prisoners who cannot read. You can also help by asking us to speak
throughout the state to raise enough money to send our books to prisoners. You can
form a group and find speaking engagement for Touched By The Light speakers. You
will be helping your child and someone else’s child. Individually we cannot do much but
together we can prevail. You should email us for ideas on how to prepare for their
release. Literate parolees can readily seek employment or higher education rather than
steal.
MOTHERS WHO DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN IN PRISON:
We want you to purchase two books “If You Believe In God You Do Not Belong In
Prison” and “You Are The Prophet of your Life.”
Have everyone in your family read
these books then invite our speaker to conduct a Violence Seminar at your local church
or youth center. These are hard hitting take no prisoners books. These books have
turned prisoners around. We have letters from prisoners thanking us for providing these
books to them.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
Experts say the best ways to save an aging brain is to volunteer in a community activity.
If you can read and write and can spare a few hours a week, you can volunteer to teach
a person to read or tutor in math or other life skills. We need a reading and feeding
program in every community. You can get together a group of interest people and
begin a reading program for children or adults in your local library or community center.

FAMILY READING CAMPAIGN
If a slave can learn to read by moonlight your son can learn to read by neon light.
As a child learns to read, self-esteem and confidence increase and grades improve-even in other subjects such as math and science. We must foster the success of
children and adolescents, both at home and in the community; Your life Starts Now as
soon as you pick up that book and read it. Why Learn To Read Early?
Two-thirds of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the 4th grade will end
up in jail or on welfare. The fourth grade is the watershed year
If you want your child to read you must have books all over your home. The books
must be in the breakfast nook, in the basemen in your bedroom on the coffee table and
in the closet. You child must see you read. He or she should see your face reading
the evening paper. There should be books in the car. Young children should be given
a book even if he or she cannot read. Give them the book and tell them to read it.
What they will do is look at the pictures and describe what they think is happening in the
story. Your interaction with their story telling is critical because you are confirming their
ability to read. As the young child continues to story tell he or she will learn the
appreciation of reading. While you are driving your child to and from day care of school
give them a book to read in the car. Tell them your job is to go to work to earn money
to provide for the family and their job is to go to school and learn. Tell them they are
going to school so they can learn to read so they can make money where they will have
a good future.
You must make certain your child can read competently by the fourth grade. If your
child is struggling cut out the cigarettes, donuts at work or getting your nails done save
this money and enroll your child in a reading class. If your child does not know how to
read by age 10 he is well on his way to prison. Ask any counselor at a state youth
facility. They will tell you boys enter their facilities at the age 11 for robbery, breaking
and entering, purse snatching etc. Once the violent pattern has been establish it is hard
to break, therefore it is worth the effort to have a violence prevention program for your
son, which means teaching him to read. Male children have a much harder time
learning to read without the proper encouragement because their attention is directed
elsewhere. Sports are a high priority; social competition and male dominance enters
into the picture. Consequently, great emphasis must be placed on setting aside time for
males to learn to read and to continue to read throughout adolescence.
Control what your child watches on television. Playing video games should be a reward
after the school work is done and a book is read. Proper sleep and nutrition age
37
important in learning. No late night television during school nights. Do not forget You
are the example.
PLEASE HELP
We would like for you to do two things to support our efforts toward total literacy for the
country. One please asks your friends, family and coworkers to visit our Facebook
page at Touched By The Light Publishing Literacy Program and read our message.
Secondly, we would like for you to purchase our publication “If You Believe In God You
Do Not Belong In Prison” for every male in your family. This book was written to stop
the flow of men into prisons leaving their children behind. No child should have to
visit his or her father in prison. We thank you in advance for your participation. When
you read for knowledge everyday you can look forward to a better life. Reading
magazines and newspapers "are the best way not to not remain speechless."
Regarding our offer on page 28 we reserve the right to reject any information or website
that is pornographic, racially insensitive or otherwise offensive. Our goal is to be a
service to the community.
Violence Seminar
My Child Does Not Belong in Prison
This seminar is designed to save the lives of both
parents and their children
We seek to prevent violence in the home and in the neighborhood
You are already aware of the many challenges and threats that endanger the
state of our communities and education system, but what is truly the root of the
problem? What is the root of the problems that plague us as a group? Negative
thinking. What results from negative thinking: Fear, lust, envy, jealousy, lack of
confidence, lack of self esteem, disrespect, and ignorance? The grass is greener on the
other side. Not thinking for ourselves and making what other people think more
important. These thoughts lead people to say to themselves, “Well, it’s Christmas so I’ll
need some money. Maybe I can steal it,” or “No one will ever know if I…” If we could
stop putting a temporary Band-Aid over the problem and instead remove the disease,
we would see a rapid and apparent change in the lives of our children and families who
live in our community. We would barely recognize our own surroundings after such a
change.
“If You Believe in God You Do Not Belong in Prison” and “The Devil’s Cauldron”
are two books that go head to head with negative thinking and its destructive
consequences. You know the words “jealousy”, “envy, and “greed” but what do these
emotions compel people to do? How does the philosophy of “I can’t” destroy what could
be a prosperous community? How can we as individuals discipline our thinking so that
we can keep all negative influences at bay? Everyone has the power to guard their own
mind and everyone can learn to find the will to do so. Our seminar will show you how.
In order to make this change possible we want to present a 5 week seminar to
500 people in the community consisting of parents, grandparents, and neighbors. In
order to change a family and the neighborhood, we must reach out to everyone, thus
the need for 500 participants. The seminar can be funded by the Touched by the Light
fundraiser. By selling 350 sets of books you can earn the necessary funds to hold the
seminar. This is an intensive Four Week Seminar to be given on 4 consecutive
Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. Your life will be change if you attend this seminar.
Cost Per Person: Participants must purchase and read two books
You Are The Prophet of Your Life and If you Believe In God You Do Not Belong In
Prison.
Expected attendance: 250 We look forward to helping you take the first
step to a New Future!

The Women's Art Exhibit
The art exhibit of The Body of a Woman was Found consists of
100 drawings depicting the murder of women and children
around the country. The drawings do not exploit nor
sensationalize their deaths. The drawings were done with
integrity and taste.
The Women's Art Exhibit of The Body of A Woman Was Found was designed to
dramatize violence against women and help to provide revenues to under funded
women organizations and shelters. When this exhibit is hosted by a women's
organization 20% of the proceeds will be donated to the group. 20% of the proceeds
will be donated if the organization is a shelter. The exhibit consists of 100 drawings and
photographs depicting the murder of women and children around the country. The
drawings do not exploit nor sensationalize their deaths. The drawings were done with
integrity and tastefulness. The exhibit is designed to prevent violence against women
by giving women extensive information that may save their lives. We will show the miniexhibit at churches, conventions, large corporations, state office buildings, and
universities.
Violence against women is taking an enormous emotional and financial toll on this
country. Part of the drug world consists of individuals self-medicating themselves, trying
to forget the violence they have experienced as children, trying to forget the moments of
rape, humiliation, and degradation that they experienced. We need to prevent children
from going hungry, feeling displaced, neglected and abandoned. We believe these
factors contribute to the fear and rage that develop in children causing them to become
violent in adulthood. Women and children cannot develop and grow into a family unit if
their environment is filled with violence.
The Institute believes that we can reduce the violence experienced by women
and children if female organizations and like minded organizations work together. The
prevention of violence directly affects the stability of the nation. Violence against
women is an unpleasant subject, but we, as a nation must face this phenomenon if we
are to survive as a people. The National Institute of the Study of Violence is dedicated
to the prevention of violence against women and children. We want the violence to stop
and we believe women can stop the violence by working together.
We will consider it an honor to host a mini exhibit or to be invited to speak before your
group. You can call us at 734 686 1444 or E-mail us at [email protected].
Please help us prevent violence against women by distributing copies of our souvenir
program A Body of A Woman Was Found. For an electronic copy of "A Body of A
Woman Was Found" to send to family and friends please e-mail us at
[email protected].
The Prison Wall Project
Send a book to a prisoner through the Prison Wall Project and help support
victims of crime. By sending a prisoner an autographed copy of one of the
Wall Project books, you are also helping in the following ways:
Your Support will also help to lower crime and recidivism rates by:
Helping a prisoner learn to read.
Building a prisoner’s self esteem
Giving a prisoner hope for the future
Help giving a prisoner tools to change the way he or she thinks with
respect to problem solving.
Help local reading programs for children
Touched by the Light began sending books to prisons for the past six years.
We now see to expand the program. The results we have received have
gone far beyond our expectations. We'd like you to be a part of our
movement. The approach is simple: reach prisoners and those exiting the
prison system and affect the way they think. It is time we try to change the
way they think. Our correctional institutions are overflowing with inmates.
Their incarceration is placing a horrendous social and financial burden on
society that should not exist. With a concerted effort we can reduce the
recidivism rate in this country.
We offer prisoners and outgoing inmates five publications that are designed
to rework their view on life, and give them concrete tools to change their
lives. We work at a fundamental level. If a man leaves prison thinking the
same thing he did when he went in then the cycle will never end. If he
leaves prison with the mindset that he now has standards of conduct, faith
in his own ability and his creator's ability to prosper him, and the knowledge
that someone cared enough about his fate to reach out, then the cycle will
be forever broken. Purchase a book for a prisoner today!
