Where to Begin
The work spans philosophy, history, doctrine, fiction, and reference — and there is no single right door. Where you start depends on what you are looking for. Here are five ways in, each with the order that makes the most sense. Follow one, or wander between them.
If you are new to the work
Begin with Understanding Life. It is the debut, the book the pen name was born from, and the least confrontational way in — a plain meditation on the questions everyone carries but few stop to answer. It asks nothing of you except that you are willing to look again.
If you want the historical and identity argument
Start with Hidden Secrets of the True Israelites to trace the identity of the covenant people through the historical record — from West Africa to the ships and back. Then read Clothed in Fire, Built on Sand for the doctrinal case against the institutions that obscured that history, following Egypt's solar religion into the church.
If you are walking the practice
Start with The Israelite Calendar Book — the full reference on the appointed times, the new moon, and the feasts of Leviticus 23. Keep Common Questions on the Israelite Calendar beside it as the shorter, plain-language companion for the questions that come up in daily observance. The Bridge and A Bridge to Cross carry the story and tribute of the nation walking that practice.
If you are drawn to story
The forthcoming novel The Death of Eve carries the whole argument in narrative — twenty-one women across six thousand years. While you wait, read the two-part essay The Destruction of Eve, which sets out the argument the novel dramatises, and shows you where the pattern is working today.
If you want the foundation the work is built on
The doctrinal ground beneath everything above was laid by Elder Shadrock Porter in three founding texts, first published by Fifth Rib Publishing between 1990 and 1993, and extended by Elders Michael Hinds and Antonio Castrilli. Read these to understand where the whole body of work begins.
However you begin, the thread is the same: look again, think deeply, seek understanding.
