<p>Dangerous Intimacy, Christopher Brooks and Christopher Coleman offer a collection of unscripted autobiographies of ten African American men, who are living with HIV. They have captured aspects of their lives from childhood on, illustrating the factors contributing to their becoming HIV+. They also sought to have the reader hear the stories in their words, as they were told to them. More than twenty men in different parts of the country were interviewed, with ten stories being selected. To preserve their anonymity, identities and geographical locations have been disguised. Dangerous Intimacy underlines two issues. First, it is time to recognize that HIV/AIDS is present, and growing, in the African American community. Second, we need to understand that a diagnosis of HIV is not a death sentence. All of the men whose stories are told has managed or handled the virus and is living a full life. Each story is unique, yet all share a common experience. They are African American and live with HIV/AIDS. The stories told in Dangerous Intimacy are a sobering reminder of the dangers of intimacy, unprotected sex, and uncontrolled and sometimes reckless behavior. Some readers will find them disturbing, even shocking. Others will see the struggle to overcome HIV and transform lives, inspiring. The men represent a rich diversity of the African American experience. One is a grandfather who grew up in segregated Chicago; another is a Viet Nam veteran. Others are fathers, married and single. They participated in this undertaking because they want us to hear their voices. Roque Florio captures the book s soul; He said, I wanted to write my own book before I die, but I believe this may be the closest that I will come to doing so, I don t fret about it though. If my story will help somebody, then my living will not have been in vain.</p>

<p>If you could do one great thing with your life in order to bring God glory before you died what would it be?  This seemingly simple question, asked in the first few pages of Kingdom Dreamer, forms the basis for Christopher W. Brooks’ guide to helping every Christian achieve their God-given potential and bring glory to His name. As a successful pastor, broadcaster and mentor, Brooks has spent years counseling and coaching seekers of God’s truth to find the life purpose He has placed deep within their hearts. Everyone has a Kingdom Dream―a calling and a motivation that goes beyond worldly selfishness and instead, serves to glorify our Father in Heaven. In this book, Pastor Brooks calls on every Christian to actively search for that Dream, immersing him or herself in prayer, Scripture and fellowship with other Dreamers to truly become not what the world wants but what God has ordained.</p>
