Free - Orlando Ceaser

. .

Résumé :
Free offers a contemporary perspective and reflection on freedom-from the challenges of political-cultural freedom sought by all throughout the world, to our own personal battle with psychosocial freedom, and of how we let the pains and triumphs of our past shape how we manage our present, and positively impact our future. Mr. Ceaser's poetry offers affirmations for those who understand the importance of having spirituality, love and family guide our lives. For those who yearn for spiritual purpose, love and the joy of family, hidden between the lines and among the modules, there are many lessons that can help one to re-purpose, re-position and attain personal fulfillment. -Georgina E. Heard Labonne, Former Executive, Fortune 100 Company, Trustee, Bradley University If you read Orlando Ceaser's book you will be drawn in by how well he weaves poetry in with his thoughts and feelings. The writing reaches out, grabs us, and pulls us in. This book is a refreshing look at every category listed: freedom, life, achievement, women and family. It provides with clarity that we are at our very best when we are free to celebrate life and the many challenges it offers. This is a recommended read for everyone! -Roscoe L. De Chalus, President, Senior Pastor and Radio Bible Teacher, Lord of Hope Ministries Orlando has a gift, rather I should say, gifts. One gift is the ability to leverage words, both spoken and written, that requires the audience to think, wrestle and look into the mirror. I am not a person usually drawn to poetry, but knowing Orlando, I was eager to read Free, especially when I saw the headings of each section. As Orlando draws on what must certainly be personal experiences, along with past and present realities of all people who endure injustices every day here and around the world, I found myself wincing, smiling, hanging my head, saying yes, but... and praying. Enter into this book of poetry with soberness and also with hope. You will be enlightened and challenged; inspired and stretched; and dare I say blessed? -Scott Pederson
