God is still asking people to follow HIM, to leave the familiar, to trust HIM for provision, protection and equipping as He leads them into the high places, valley lows and even carrying them through puzzling stages of life. But who will follow; who will trust, who will go into the unknown? If I go...

Finger up the Bum is the no-holds-barred, too-much-information guide to everything you didn’t want to know about Michael Izen’s prostate cancer. Who is Michael Izen? Good question. In his forties, Mike was a happy family man who rarely got sick. Like most men, he wasn’t a fan of dropping...

A Reliable Avenue is a book written in two stages. The first spanned February and March of 2000, when most poems were written, the second was in June of the same year, and resulted in 20 or so poems. It includes all seven poems that were published in my first chapbook ever, entitled Perpetual Mirages...

This book is a compilation of my best online lectures between the years 2002 and 2004. They cover varied subjects in History, Politics, and Philosophy.

Tradition, innovation, and knowledge...

This book was written in Shreveport, Louisiana. Just like with every other book, I wrote only what I felt. I hate pretension and posturing.

Here love comes in close contact with other strong emotionsit is the context, the background that are different. Love exists side by side with insecurity,...

Among Possibilities was written in February and March of 2000. It is not uniform in mood. But the basic message, I think, is the same: reflection gives us reason to hope and abandon irrational fears. I am not an optimist by natureperhaps to my own detriment. But always anticipating bad things in a...

Most of this book was written in Shreveport, Louisiana. The poems about foreign countries and citieswith the exception of the two poems about Russiawere written in Los Angeles.
