‘I Dream a Song’(Odes and Epodes) is Achampong’s sixth book of verse. This collection, exploring the nature of gods... More > and love, and the dreams we sing to harmonize them, is an immersion into the wonder-filled world of Achampong's words. Like the wheels along the human frame, the body of ‘I Dream a Song’ is divided into the five chakra points of crown, throat, heart, loins, and root. Under each of these wheels is crammed a uniquely lush serving of linguistic brilliance. This collection is altogether an optimistic view of the power of love in the world through positive thinking. And brilliant literature.

Other books of poems by Achampong are ‘The Equilibrists’, ‘floating’, ‘Salt in her Womb’, ‘My Kikuyu Princess’ and ‘…and Soft’, all available at www.achampongbooks.com and iBookstore. < Less

This is an effort to invite Christians to a journey of understanding the system of God’s purpose for mankind. It is an on... More > Outline of the core teachings of Rev. GENE C. BRADFORD. Like the governor Nehemiah says of the skilled scribe Ezra, Bradford “read[s] distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and … [gives] the sense, and help[s] [us]… to understand the reading”. He speaks about pain and problems. For instance, he explains that these are experiences that Christians have to go through. Or there would be no Calvary, and therefore no salvation. “Why then do you pray your problems away? You are supposed to endure and learn from them so that God may be glorified. Remember that it rains on both the sinner and the righteous alike,” he says. < Less

Through the eyes of undocumented Cape Verdean immigrant Mascarenhas Sonhando, this pseudo-murder mystery provokes candid discussions on race, citizenship, undocumented immigration, the 'akata' infamy, interracial America, gender roles, and the vestiges of colonization. “If an indigenous person had a choice of who his colonial oppressor (the Dutch, the French, the Swiss, the Danes, the British) should be, by far the preferred option of tormenter would surely be the Americans; to their brutality was always added a commensurate portion of compassion. They would rape you, and then rehabilitate you, complete with complimentary therapy….” Once in America though, Mascarenhas' fantasies of the black Eden quickly dissolve into a nightmare in Sodom&Gomorrah. < Less
