“To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries.” (A C Grayling,)
“Writing is equally important as it allows trapped thoughts in your mind to spill out and take a shape that you may not be able to see by thinking alone, or if you have no one to share your thoughts with by talking.” The inspiration of many a Author, is Gods Holy Spirit, who inspired the writing of Gods Holy word, by some of the worlds greatest authors.

Secret of the Keeper
Secret Of The Keeper by J. Lewis Kyle
is an allegorical tale that follows the often harrowing journey of Romulus, a lion, and his three companions, an elephant, an owl, and a monkey, as they set out to seek truth and freedom.

I have seen that pain for myself, I’ve experienced it. It’s something that I had to learn to deal with.
That’s where I’m headed with this book, and I hope my readers will get a clear understanding of what Black males need to do, and how they need to do it….Read More
