Dr. Dickerson, His Dissertation, And God: An Autobiographical Study of Chemical Addiction and Personal Recovery-Introducing S.T.E.P.S. for the Treatment of Chemical Dependency

by Leon Dickerson 
  Dr. Dickerson, His Dissertation, And God, is an autobiographical study of the life and times of one black man and his struggle to overcome poverty, racism and eventually alcohol and drug addiction. Millions suffer from some form of addiction. Dr. Dickerson’s life story depicts the feelings, situations, and conditions of many. It portrays the spectrum of human affliction and anxieties, fears and frustrations, desires, degradation, hatred, hopes and utopian dreams. Finally the story ends with the exercise of apocalyptic faith in the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Dr. Dickerson’s doctoral dissertation consist of a research project enhanced by fifteen years of clinical experience in the field of chemical dependency, and his own first-hand knowledge of substance abuse acquired through his own addiction and recovery from alcohol and drugs.
This section also includes a Psycho-Educational Work Book that will provide topics and exercises for the Specialized Training and Educational Program System (S.T.E.P.S.) developed by Dr. Dickerson. Spirituality also plays a major role in finding and maintaining sobriety. The book section titled DNA, Life, and God is a depiction of Jesus Christ, who Dr. Dickerson acknowledges as his Higher Power. The term “Higher Power” is mentioned nine different times, in one form or another in the Twelve-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. The founders of Alcoholics Anonymous were Christians who realized that the program could also work as long as members acknowledge that the Higher Power of their choice is greater than themselves.

by Leon Dickerson 
When America was Great Again and Again When America was Great Again and Again speaks of an America that wasn’t so great for Native Americans, African Americans, and Women. Donald J.

He was born in New York City in 1947 grew up in and Harlem where drugs, poverty, and crime were prevalent.

Liberating Faith: Reimagining Christian Education as Transformative

Written by Clark, James I. Liberating Faith: Reimagining Christian Education as Transformative traces Pentecostal theological development while calling it toward renewed purpose. This work challenges us to move beyond inherited assumptions and interpretive schemes that obscure the original Scriptural intent, examining presuppositions and eisegesis that have, at times, stunted understanding. In doing so, this book proposes that Christian education can be a means of liberation – guiding believers toward deeper engagement with the historical, grammatical, and spiritual context of the biblical text so that faith might be both fervent and informed.
