Greg Wright

The story of THIS GILDED AGE follows a young man, discharged from the military and finished with college, on his journey from the Midwest to New York City. The catalyst for this move is a woman, Erica, a military veteran as well, who fled from an abusive marriage and ended up in a battered women's shelter in the Bronx. The theme of the novel is that the lust for getting rich by any means necessary pervades society and the moral compass of business is not dissimilar from that of drug dealing or prostitution. The story takes place in the five boroughs of New York and satirizes the exploitation of the poor by the wealthy. Wright also satirizes the American work ethic and the social pretensions of the newly rich. The book draws upon many themes of the original gilded age, including industrialization and corporations, as well as modern issues of urban squalor and human rights.As the stoic symbols of New York dispassionately follow Greg and Erica through the abyss, the contrast of "have" and "have not," of "passion" versus "plaything" becomes glaringly and unsettlingly apparent: sex trysts, piles of liquor bottles, slum lords, cult-like corporations, monies promised and stolen. Inspired by a long line of novels, from Henry Miller's `Tropic of Cancer' to Hubert Selby Junior's `Last Exit to Brooklyn,' THIS GILDED AGE casts a glaring light on the principles of America, today. THIS GILDED AGE is ultimately a poetic, twisted tale of one generation's vain desire to define itself in this empty space where once humanity's heart did beat.

Four Daughters, One Clueless Dad, and His Quest to Win Their Hearts: The Road Map for Any Dad to Raise a Strong and Confident Daughter

Daddy Dates

The war in Heaven was not about force! Satan's plan threatened accountability by offering a "do as you please" program without penalty. This book explains how both ancient and modern Gadiantons have used this "freedom plan" to get elected. It also shows how parents unknowingly use this plan when they adopt the many "love without law" programs taught by the philosophies of men. This book exposes Satan's popular deceptions by helping readers understand the difference between choice, freedom and agency.

Satan's War on Free Agency

One day motivational leader Greg Wright realized that the four set of pretty young eyes under his own roof were looking to Dad to be strong, fearless, and wise. The reality was, the lone male in an all-girl household ("heck, even the dog was female") was only thirty years old and felt like he had been shoved into the deep end of the estrogen pool without swimming lessons. That's when the love-struck father of four gorgeous pre-teens started searching for a plan for how to be a successful Dad, and did what any sensible guy would do. He bailed. Not only on his family, but into the woods, to seek a "solution." Daddy Dates is an entertaining and practical look at how one American father found his sea legs and is navigating through the tricky waters of parenting girls. In this game-changing book, Greg shares his easy-to-follow secrets for how married and single dads can go beyond high-fiving to bridge the gender gap and become the clued-in man who knows his daughter best. Dads have more influence on their girls than anyone. Learn what makes your daughter tick, how to talk to her effectively and connect more profoundly, at any age. If being their hero is your mission, it's not impossible. Daddy Dates is your road map to get there. "Hi honey. It's Daddy. I'm calling to see if you'd like to go on a date with me tonight." "Um, yes, Daddy I think I would." It's a phone call Greg Wright has made over and over again. By age thirty, Greg was the overwhelmed father of four beautiful little girls, with one thought running through his mind over and over again: Don't Screw Up. Daddy Dates is about a guy taking his best shot at being a successful dad by trying to know his girls?really know their fears, dreams, and opinions?and how he stumbled across an incredible strategy to do that with daughters of any age or stage. This funny, insightful, and relatable book poses the wildly original concept that should be a "duh" for most dads?but isn't. In order to raise a confident woman-to-be, show your daughter what it feels like to be treated with love, respect, and true interest by a man who loves her. Daddy Dates is not another "how to" book from a parenting expert. It's a personal, eye-opening, often humorous look at an Average Joe's intentional pursuit of his daughter's hearts and minds, and the love-inspired steps he is taking to solidify Dad's place in each of their lives, forever. Whether married or single, Daddy Dates can help you better connect with virtually all of the females in your life. Using Greg's communication cues, you'll be blown away by what you'll learn about your child, and how you can make a powerful, lasting difference?especially during her rocky teenage years. Daddy Dates is about one thing?becoming her hero?one date at a time.

But, the truth
