A Mourner of Swine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478732785)

Walter H. Brown is a native of Cincinnati Ohio. It was there that he enlisted in the US Navy. After his tour of duty, he enrolled in Simmons University in Louisville Kentucky where he received his Bachelors of Theology Degree. The author has worked as a Clerk of Courts, Deputy Sheriff, Probation Officer and finally taught in Secondary Schools in West and South Central Africa. The fact that the author's earlier years bore testimony to the rigors of destitute, he was able to incorporate it as another syllabus to challenge in the school of life and from it his concern for the sufferings of others were very much understandable as well as enhanced. This has compelled him to send out an invitation through his own story that he hopes will awaken the God-given dignity that slumbers within the bosom of a few. Walter sends a clarion call to the reader to reconsider the subtle emergence of an alien radicalism that is devoid of values and whose purpose it is to destroy our attributes as men and women of compassion. It compels a response to disarm the callousness of egotistical arrogance. The author is firmly convinced that a serious effort to eradicate apathy among one's own people and to expose the senselessness of toxic racism whose terminal germ begins at the core of society, can only be measured by the individual triumphs of the heart. The author's message is clear and is expressed with a colorful blend of historical honesty, political sobriety, poetical imagery and a plausible phase of romantic prose.
