On My Way Home is part-memoir/part-inspiration and insights drawn from the author's life experiences to highlight the practicality and power of surrendering one's life to the government of biblical principles: faith, love, obedience to God's Word, and intimacy with God. At eighteen years old, Dencle's journey takes a sudden, dramatic turn, and what began as a normal summer day in tropical Jamaica, a few miles away from the world-famous Negril beach, ends with radical changes in the values and pursuits of this teenager. One question led to another, and before he could fully appreciate what was happening, Dencle walked past his friends, all the way to the front of the church, knelt down and responded to the question that had firmly captured his mind and commanded this profound immediate response. This marked the beginning of a life-long quest to know God and to dig into the promise of a real God for real people. In Part 1 of On My Way Home, we are given a front-row seat as we are allowed to examine the author's life and background. Then in Part 2, he takes us with him on a journey of exploration as his life is transformed by his discoveries of God's character and makes a convincing case that we can have those same discoveries as well. On My Way Home simplifies the fundamentals of Christian living. The command to love the Lord and our neighbor, for example, is translated into a manageable slogan-"Love is primary, everything else is secondary"-that we can easily remember and apply to everyday situations, every point carefully explained so that the reader gets it. This book makes us feel like a life of faith and intimacy with God is right at our fingertips, ending with Dencle's glimpse of paradise and thoughts of home.

You know that you are moving, but you really aren't going anywhere. Confined by and defined by laziness, loss, or limitations, you continually live beneath your potential while living up to everyone else's expectations. You are living a life led by compulsion. You have lost touch with the power of propulsion. It does not matter whether you are sixty-two, twenty-six, or sixteen and two months; your potential, performance, and prosperity can elevate just as quickly as you decide to live a life of purpose. In The Flight of Your Life, Charles and Yvana Bailey use accounts of their personal wins and losses over a combined fifteen years of national and international athletics, entrepreneurship, coaching, and ministry to daringly inspire you to put yourself in the propulsive position and to maximize every passion, performance, or the people you encounter as you create the life that you have been created for. Give yourself this pre-sent. This is the ticket for The Flight of Your Life. Charles and Yvana have dedicated themselves to the power of propulsion. Over a decade of marriage; five degrees in business, science, health, and communications; and managing multiple streams of income and influence, they have committed themselves to enlarging their platforms in order to create room for you to take the flight of your life. “. . . sage advice, and a disciplined approach, for anyone desiring to succeed at their purpose in life . . .” - Rick Whitted, Author & Speaker, Outgrow Your Space At Work “. . . a wake-up call and a plan of action for those who have been waiting on life . . .” - Carolina Flores, CEO of Hi Hello “. . . an appropriate step for those who hear their calling but need the courage to respond.” - Sam Kendricks, Olympic Medalist, Soldier “. . . a really good look into the reality of overcoming obstacles.” - Fletcher Cox, Super Bowl Champion, Philadelphia Eagles “. . . a book that every service member should be given at the moment they enter into service . . .” - Marcus Campbell, Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army Retired “The book is outstanding.

The poetry in this collection was written in the second half of 2020 and early '21. A grim time of political ineptitude. The poems are a narrative of these times influenced by a fragmented society at odds with the definition of freedom and liberty. This work is inspired by the seclusion of realism evolved from a pursuit of literature that attempts to inform and confront. In these uncertain days lived within an epoch of war, disaster, and political events fearfully held in suspense by the pandemic, Lambski dug out a seam of creativity. Every poem feeds off an impulse to express. The author takes on a challenge by social conditions to deliver a body of work through prose that can hopefully induce debate on the illusion and reality of our understanding of freedom. The determination is always to liberate.
