Ink Addict: Book of Poems, by author Reneé Drummond-Brown, are emotional verses creatively written; talk about the phrase “Monkeys on your back,” this book keeps her readers on their toes for fear of missing the chain-supply and demand of her hooked poetic body of words and works. Author Drummond-Brown hears the evil of the 21st century, sees the evil and is unafraid to address ‘IT’ and write about ‘IT’. The poignant yet tender poems are moaned and birthed from a heartfelt place deep within the authors mind’s eye like nobody’s business. Drummond-Brown’s solemn voice is ...

When you think of a son trudging uphill, carrying wood for his own sacrifice because his father has decided to give him up to death, what biblical event does this bring to mind? Is it Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, or is it Christ's passion in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? The kinship between these two stories is deeper than mere coincidence, and the similarities don't end there. In fact, Murray argues that Christ isn't just present in the story of Abraham and Isaac - he's present on every page of the Old Testament.
