Hearts supersede languages.Published Books:“Gabriella, ‘till death do us part... maybe”To be human...... does it require blood and bones?Gabriella West is an android, but she’s special. She lives on her own, falls in love, and wants a family. Only her creators and the government know she is a machine. In her quest to become human, she collides with sexual awareness, military deception, murder, sinister programming, and the search for God with a divorced pastor and his young daughter.'Gabriella' seeks to do more than present a riveting science fiction story. It carefully explores the salient differences between humans and machines, trying to identify the boundary where they cross over. If an android can think and learn autonomously, would they be human? If it can feel affection and love, if it can enjoy everything that a regular human can, including sexual relationships, would that make it human? But animals can also display these traits. There must be more to being human. Is it the search for an understanding of God that is the differentiating factor? Or is it man's ability to lie, cheat, and kill that differentiates us? In a thrilling story of intrigue and scientific development, 'Gabrielle' questions the boundary between human and machine."Tribulation and Escape" addresses the oft-misunderstood and confusing concepts surrounding the last seven years of Earth's history commonly called the Tribulation Period. Carl carefully, logically, and sometimes controversially, demystifies the topics with easy to understand language. This book has been engineered and written to spur spirited discussion among your reading or study groups. Carl has been building his expertise in end-time events for over a decade."Blessings from Ethiopia" is a very heavily illustrated (photos on virtually every page), cathartic, review of his visits to AIDS compounds, leper colonies, city dumps where people eat whatever they can find, and various orphanages in Ethiopia, including an HIV+ young children's orphanage. Stories from working in the waiting center of Operation Smile will warm your heart as children with severe deformities are restored by volunteer surgeons. His writing style will both tear at your heart and lift your spirit as you meet some extraordinary young Americans who are making a difference in people's lives as they work with these outcasts.Although he has lived in the states of Illinois, South Carolina, and California, he was born in, and currently lives in, upstate New York where he says, tongue in cheek, that he loves living in New York because seasonal weather changes are delivered free, right to your very own doorstep without having to drive anywhere else to get them. He also quips that if you don't like the weather, just wait twenty minutes and it will change.Carl teaches Photography, Marketing, Personal Finance, Creation/Evolution, and Microsoft Office courses as electives at the high school level. He and his wife are Directors of a seven-month adult Catechism program in their home church, as well as being active in the mission field.Carl is comfortable and proficient in speaking to small or large groups and is available for speaking engagements.
