The Disciple's Cross, instructs Christians to practice the six biblical disciplines of a disciple. In The Disciple's Personality, they are taught to live in the Spirit and become more like Christ. The Disciple's Victory depicts the loyal Christian's triumphs over the world, the flesh, and the devil. And finally, Christians are asked to look within themselves and identify their stage of growth and role in ministry in The Disciple's Mission.

My book is about helping people on their soul journey. All souls came here to this Earth plane for a reason, and that reason is to be in ‘Oneness’ with one another. Before incarnating here on Earth, every soul created for themselves a Divine Soul Plan, which is a life plan for all of us to walk our highest blueprint. However when we are born, we do not have this memory within our physical brains and it is up to everyone to eventually remember this subconsciously. However soul remembers and soul remembers that we are all here to work through our Soul Plan by overcoming the various challenges we have been presented with according to our karmic implications. As no two souls are the same, so too are no two soul plans will be the same. It is unique to each individual. We also have spiritual testing which we need to work through and pass. Spiritual Testings are never easy, and requires great understanding for one another in order to pass them. The key to passing spiritual testings and working through our karmic imbalances is to always be expressing love, understanding and forgiveness for one another. The key is to transmute or transform out all of our negative qualities to be positive Light. This book holds the key to passing your spiritual testings and tips on how to respond to negative situations rather than react negatively to them. If we just react and go in an ‘automatic pilot’ mode, then we will never achieve accomplishment within our purpose here. For example, if someone expresses hatred and disgust towards you, your instant reaction is to react back with hatred towards them; to mirror the very energy that is being expressed out to you. This is the trap that most of us find ourselves in- it is a trap because every time we express negative emotions such as hatred, that emotion and thought will manifest as energy. According to the Universal Law of Attraction, if you express out negative emotions then only negative emotions will find its way to you. Like attracts like- the same energy will attract the same energy. It will then be the same situations over and over again, never really experiencing joy, because you will only attract in negative situations, and the more negative situations you find yourself in, the harder it is for you to overcome them. This is what existence itself is all about. We are all Masters, however we need to express that out in every aspect of our lives towards others. This book is a sort of a guide on ways we can master our own emotions and also holds the keys to eternal joy and soul accomplishment.

MY POETRY When I get inspiration I write poetry I write to express what's inside of me My imagination is as high as a leaf on a very tall tree Or it can be as low as the earth where the earthworms creep I write about some of the things that I see Because when I put my pen to the paper it is the only time that I am truly free Free to write out what I think about what I hear I write about some of my hopes and my fears I write about my laughter and my tears I write about my triumphs and my jeers Sometimes I can write about those for whom I deeply care Or I can write about those pretty honey-bun sistas with the beautiful ebony hair You know the ones that smell like the luscious lotions from Avon or Mary-Kay I get inspiration for poems almost every day I never know when it will hit me, whether it is at work or at play! Hi, my name is Eldon and I'd like you to come take a lyrical journey with me, from the light into spiritual darkness, and back into life. But not just any life but the life that only God can give. Come with me and experience my triumphs and failures, ups and downs, my light and my darkness, all on life's merry go round. You will experience my personal spiritual darkness and the power of God's love and his redeeming light. Then come and witness the power of the tongue. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 4:13 KJV

This book provides practicing engineers with a step by step approach for making durable concrete with optimum use of the local materials available within the various regions of the United States. It further includes actual concrete mixture proportions for high performance concrete for strength and durability under various aggressive environments based on the author’s experience in the field, and support this with illustrative case studies. Examples for concrete mixture proportions, based on the current industry practice and standards, are highlighted to assist engineers in meeting the intended performance requirements (for specific environment conditions) for durable concrete. Covering an important topic for the construction and building materials industries, this book delivers the most up-to-date industry practices and advances in concrete construction from the perspective of a practicing engineer with over 40 year experience. Maximizes practicing engineers’ understanding of best design and construction practices in fabricating, delivery, and installation of concrete, consistent with current knowledge on concrete durability Discusses quality control and testing requirements during design and construction, including mixing, production, and placement of concrete and tolerances for slump and air content Emphasizes real-world examples of optimal concrete mixtures, suitable for selected service conditions and applications, based on prior successful records of projects within the US Addresses the role of innovative admixtures in concrete placement in cold weather conditions below 32F and meeting the strength and durability requirements Serves as a valuable resource for students in graduate programs
