Book Description
In his first book, Entering The Promised Land, Willie’s quest to understand how embedded social biases affect business success led to a much broader revelation. Religious Scholar by training, Willie’s source for study was biblical Scripture. In the course of his research, he literally stumbled upon a new methodology for biblical study. He named this new tool the “Defined Word Approach.” Much to his surprise, by using this tool, he found a rich cultural heritage for individuals of African descent, hence the title Entering The Promised Land. In his latest writing, The Real Story of Creation, Willie lays out an entirely new perspective on Creation as recounted in the Holy Bible. Using the Defined Word Approach, he breaks down the meaning of the classical Hebrew words used to write the Scripture. The take-away is vastly different from the biblical teachings of the past two centuries. Willie feels that using the Defined Word Approach to read and understand the Bible could be the impetus for re-energizing religious study and understanding. Willie continues to pursue his research and writing while providing leadership and guidance through his service and active participation in industry, business and civic associations.

Book Description
An accessible exploration of how diverse cultures have explained humanity's origins through narratives about the natural environment Drawing from a vast array of creation myths--Babylonian, Greek, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Chinese, Hindu, Navajo, Polynesian, African, Norse, Inuit, and more--this short, illustrated book uncovers both the similarities and differences in our attempts to explain the universe. Anthony Aveni, an award-winning author and professor of astronomy and anthropology, examines the ways various cultures around the world have attempted to explain our origins, and what roles the natural environment plays in shaping these narratives. The book also celebrates the audacity of the human imagination. Whether the first humans emerged from a cave, as in the Inca myths, or from bamboo stems, as the Bantu people of Africa believed, or whether the universe is simply the result of Vishnu's cyclical inhales and exhales, each of these fascinating stories reflects a deeper understanding of the culture it arose from as well as its place in the larger human narrative.

Book Description
What is reality? Is reality both mind and matter, body and soul, as taught by Western religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam? This is dualism, the approach of philosophers from Plato to Descartes. Or is reality only matter, as taught by many modern scientists and philosophers? This is materialism, the approach of philosophers from Hobbes to Marx. Or is reality only mind, as taught by Eastern religions and Western mystics. This is the approach of philosophers from Berkeley to Whitehead. The beginning of Genesis allows for multiple translations and interpretations. We will read the creation story in Genesis from the point of view of each of these three approaches—dualism, materialism, and idealism. In doing so, we will tell three very different creation stories. These stories will take us on a fascinating journey through science, philosophy, and religion. Join us on this journey as we explore issues such as does God perform miracles, why is there evil in the universe, was Darwin correct, can robots have souls, and if light is a wave, what is waving?
