Writer Gaymon focuses on the Holy Bible’s Book of Ecclesiastes for its wisdom in declaring that for all things, there is a time, a season, and a purpose. She points to such examples as the seemingly impossible birth of Isaac to his parents, Abraham and Sarah, who were extremely old at the time. Most miraculous was the immaculate conception of Jesus Christ, fulfilling God’s purpose in God’s time. Many other examples, biblical and secular, are cited as the author explores such thorny issues as “a time to kill,” noting that through the machinations of Satan, there will be wars. Meanwhile, Christians are given “an inheritance of peace.” Also, by nature, all humans experience both good and bad tendencies in themselves and will have an opportunity to “throw away” the negative tendencies and gather and “keep” the positives. Gaymon denotes domestic violence as a “time to speak” and reminds readers that as their relationship with Jesus Christ expands, they will be able to “embrace” welcome strangers to their faith.
Gaymon is a chaplain with a doctorate in ministry who strongly perceives that only in the Christian religion does God pursue his faithful, endowing them with the free will to choose a righteous pathway in the fruitful seasons of life. She underscores her conviction with bold declarations of personal independence, esteeming well-known Black martyrs to the cause of freedom while not acceding to any particular organizational movement in her search for truth. She uses her abilities as a wordsmith and researcher to effectively enlighten readers with relevant, well-founded examples, such as the horrors of the African slave trade, newsworthy crimes, the history of modern warfare, and copious quotes from Christian scripture. Gaymon’s work offers extensive information and is clearly intended to invoke study and further immersion in its central themes.
