Religious Questions explores the decay and obsolescence of Biblical myths, gods made in man's image, the absurdity of angels and heaven, and the futility of prayers. Ultimately religion is exposed for the travesty it has been for millennia: the longest-running con ever devised by man. This book is a rapier that goes to the heart of religious fundamentalism and the bankrupt religions that are more interested in power and control than truth and values.

      Ofield Dukes is considered one of the nation’s most successful African-American public relations practitioners and one of the most influential people of the Civil Rights period.      This book—written by Dukes himself—takes the reader from Depression-era Detroit through the Korean War and up to Washington, D.C., where he served not only the Johnson White House, but every Democratic presidential candidate in the Sixties.       Along the way he advised such notables as Coretta Scott King, author Alex Haley, Rep. Charles Rangel, as well as Martin Luther King, Jr. In fact, Dukes was instrumental in making King’s birthday a national holiday.        Duke’s career was not limited to politicians and Civil Rights leaders. As a public relations counselor he worked with Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and dozens of other Motown stars. And thanks in large part to Dukes, the “Motown Sound” spread feverishly from its Detroit-based operations to every corner of the U.S.       Today, there are hundreds of public relations practitioners around the world who credit Dukes for their success, including the editors of this book, two of Duke’s closest mentees.       This book is dedicated to future generations of students and professionals in the hope that they, too, can be inspired by Ofield Dukes.

I have often succumbed to the 'let me fix you' books that inundate every banner ad and airport kiosk around the globe. Ripping dollars from my wallet, I have chased facades of financial freedom, super-model weight loss, and even sprouting a few inches. My vertically challenged self loved the 'boots that boost' and qualified me for additional E-Harmony matches.  However, traditional self-help approaches heap a conscience flogging burden on YOU.  You are broke because you spend like the government, you are 'husky' because you shotgun queso, and you lack inches because you provoked the gene dealer. If you accept you are the problem, then money will secure 'head wrenches' to screw you right. Er, on tight.  That approach is certain to  bung up fragile egos. 'Bumble Pie' utilizes a refreshingly simple approach and perfectly suited for those seeking hair-trigger fixes.  In short, the 'Pie' suggests:    *  lowering your expectations.  You are not the problem, the bar is. Unless it serves adult libations, chunk all bars.  This intuitive approach makes  you  better the second you roll out of bed.     *surrounding yourself with others who have adopted the same blasé approach to life. 'Success' will always be relative and if you 'dine with swine', you are then basking in the bell curve sweet spot.      *perusing the botched life lessons within. Written by an expert at 'losering', you will learn what not to do and therefore face the day happier, skinnier, and smarter. It's my S%&* Show Guarantee.
