    About this ebook

    From One Who Loves through The Masters Son, Maneuver Damage imparts a spiritual wisdom for today through depiction of story and verse.
    j. daniel Billingss variety of style, in addition to the wit, humor, and heartfelt emotion he instills into each unsuspecting verse, is more than a breath of fresh air. He sometimes takes it upon himself to express deep opinion and forbidden feelings, subjects other authors tend to shy away from.
    Maneuver Damage is far different from conventional books of poetry, comprised of difficult and sometimes hard-to-understand verses. Through a fresh concept of facing page notes, selections are preceded by clear, concise, and relevant summaries written to aid the reader in achieving a bonded point of reference.
    As with all literary works, J. Daniel has afforded himself a level of artistic propriety, but not so much as to exceed the rational bounds of each verses intent in Maneuver Damage.

    J. Daniel Billings

    In his formative years, j. daniel Billings grew up in Central California influenced by the likes of the rockabilly style of music that cultivated the region; Merle and Buck were household names. Later, having relocated to Southern California, it was all about the dominance of rock and roll. Yet another influence that remained a constant throughout the ups and downs of life was that of his Christian faith. After a lengthy stint in the military, J. Daniel settled into private industry and finally to government service. Having written for several years, he was urged and finally felt compelled to publish selected works from his private collection. Nearing a welcome retirement, j. daniel Billings lives in North Alabama with his wife, Gemey.
