Moving beyond traditional biblical interpretation, this work serves as both spiritual guide and social justice manifesto, showing how the fundamental themes of liberation theology manifest in California's diverse communities today. The narrative traces humanity's journey from the digital "fall" of corporate dominance through various forms of modern bondage toward the establishment of just communities governed by principles of mutual aid, restorative justice, and shared prosperity. Each book builds upon the last, creating a comprehensive vision for how ancient covenantal relationships can guide contemporary efforts to build beloved communities in an age of technological transformation and climate crisis.
Additionally, I have written a sixth book, "The Book of Joshua," as an add-on that continues the narrative into the actual claiming and distribution of the promised land, exploring how communities successfully implement the covenant principles established in the first five books through concrete actions of land redistribution, community governance, and the establishment of sanctuary cities throughout California.
About the Author: I am an American and first-generation Longshore worker who is also a Certified Alcoholic Drug Counselor and Certified Labor Assistance Professional in the Bay Area. My calling began as a Sunday school teacher, where I saw the need to translate ancient scriptures into modern liberation stories for people. Growing up in San Francisco, I witnessed both the tech boom's displacement and my community's resilience through faith. This modern covenant emerged from my work with recovering addicts, displaced workers, and church families seeking God's justice in the digital age.
