- Freaks Rule 2020by Coleman LuckOver 20 years ago, I wrote about this experience relating it to America of that day. It’s time for a new telling. I grew up in the Chicago area. In the mid-fifties I was in the sixth grade. During those years I had a paper route. Talk about anachronisms, newspapers were actually read back then.… Read more: Freaks Rule 2020
- Flight Out of Darkness: Is There a Hell? Part IIby Coleman LuckIn my last post, we looked at a terrifying subject – the reality of hell, the center of Satan’s kingdom.

Witnesses have been given to us, people who have experienced brief moments in… Read more: Flight Out of Darkness: Is There a Hell? Part II

- Gateway to Hell–VIETNAM 1968: The Thoughts and Experiences of an Infantry Soldierby Coleman LuckWhat you are about to read is disjointed. Maybe a better word is ragged. This is because the memories are ragged. They refuse to be condensed and organized into neat, traditional forms. Partly this is because I am writing about two things at once, a very influential documentary about Vietnam by Ken Burns and about… Read more: Gateway to Hell–VIETNAM 1968: The Thoughts and Experiences of an Infantry Soldier
- THE HOMECOMING 1968by Coleman LuckThis photo was taken on 10 November 1968. It was the night I arrived home after a year in Vietnam. The people you see in it are my beautiful, young wife, Carel.

- A Small Near-Death Experienceby Coleman LuckI met him in a church we were attending. I’ll call him Bob Rice. That’s not his real name, but it will do.

We became… Read more: A Small Near-Death Experience

I want to tell you about a moment of sheer terror that I experienced a number of years ago. If… Read more: SHEER TERROR

- Reparations for the Descendants of American Slaves: A Practical Answer to the Race Crisis in America.by Coleman LuckI am not a philosopher, professional researcher, theologian or academic of any kind. While I have done grad study, I do not hold an advanced degree. I am a Hollywood screenwriter and storyteller.

- STORIES RULE THE WORLD. WHEN HELL RULES THE WORLD’S STORIES … HELL RULES.by Coleman LuckI started writing my first screenplay all the way back in 1975. Being the paradigmatic “late bloomer,” at the ripe age of 30, with a beautiful wife and three kids, I was just finishing my undergraduate degree at Northern Illinois University.
