Engagement
Engagement is a biography/novel spanning two generations of a family bound by a shared commitment to improving the lives and livelihoods of poor families and communities in developing countries, though their paths differed greatly.

This introduction is followed by accounts of their lives and work in Jamaica, as well as the international commitments and complexities of their sons’ careers: one, a multicultural secular architect, scholar, and policy adviser; the other, a devoted evangelist and educational entrepreneur working with poor children in marginalized urban communities.

Endless Suffering
Hanging out with street punks, I often see them acting like crazy people under the influence of illegal drugs. I got to know them because I thought they were people who, like me, lived in torment and were neglected.
I have heard every story of their lives. They left comfortable homes with sufficient food supplies, torturing themselves because they did not get enough attention from their parents.
The suffering they feel is nothing compared to what I have experienced. I live relying only on myself. If I kept hanging out with them, maybe I would lose myself – the only thing I truly have in my life. So, I decided not to spend time with them anymore. What I was looking for were friends who shared the same suffering as me, people who could support each other, exchange ideas, and offer mutual strength.
But until now, I have not found any friend whose suffering comes close to mine. Finally, I thought that maybe it would be good to write about my life journey. Everyone has their own suffering, but perhaps my life experiences could motivate others who are in despair.
Behind your suffering, there are many people suffering even more. Behind your happiness, there are people who are even happier. In this life, all you need is to be grateful and never lose yourself.

Light Bulbs
An idyllic Alpine village nestled deep in a remote valley remains unaware of the evil forces that threaten its peaceful existence. The denizens of Hell have gotten their hands on modern electricity and now covet the pristine valley as the location for a second Hell under Satan’s rule. But the land is closely guarded by righteous angels.
To disarm these angelic protectors, Satan dredges up two antiquated demons considered behind-the-times by current hellish standards and sends them to the valley to collect lightbulbs and plunge the village into darkness. However, the bumbling pair quickly get themselves electrocuted, forcing them out of the ether and into mortal view. Stranded, visible yet unable to return to Hell, they soon become media sensations.
As the two demons gain fame, will their distraction provide the opening needed to disable the angels and leave the fragile village open to a terrible infernal invasion? This clever tale blends quirky humour with imaginative world-building to deliver an engaging good-versus-evil adventure.
