Volume 1: The First Seven

The Stolen Record

Seven unsigned bulletins, each dated to a different age, gathered into one record. They were never separate crimes; the land, the labor, the debt, the bread, the bodies, the voices, the breath, but one long theft, run again and again across four thousand years. The Stolen Record lays the whole account open. Read it in one sitting. Then pass it on.

About the book

The Stolen Record

They still can't find who's sending them.

For seven deliveries an unsigned hand has left the same kind of document, dated to a different century each time, written as if the ink were still wet, laying down a record the powerful would rather stayed buried. Now the first seven are gathered into one volume, and read together they say what no single one could: these were never separate crimes.

The Stolen Record follows one machine across four thousand years. The ground taken from the many to enrich the few. The hands used up and thrown away. The debt that owns the years before they're lived. The hunger made on purpose while the storehouses stayed full. The bodies used without consent, the truth-tellers silenced, and at last the very air poisoned, and handed to the ones judged cheapest to spend. One calculation, run seven times: the harm to the many, weighed against the profit of the few.

No lecture. No verdict handed down. Just the record, laid open, and a reader left holding what it means; because in every case, someone saw the harm and warned of it before the powerful chose profit anyway. This is the completion of the first seven. It does not close the account. There is more of the record to carry, and now, perhaps, more hands to carry it.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Fiction to faith to self-help, my books open minds without being pushy. Writing is as natural to me as breathing, and every one begs the question: What if?

Quick Note on our "Tended Reading" Books:

What is a Tended Reading™?

A Tended Reading™ is a single volume where the book and its meditation are woven together as one cloth. It is not a book with a study guide tacked on the end. You read a passage, and then, before you turn to the next, you stop and "tend" what you have just read: an anchor verse, a short meditation, a question, witnesses from the wider family of faith across the centuries, and prompts with room to write in your own hand.

An orchard is not skimmed; it is walked. A Tended Reading™ is a book built to be walked.
