A Wonderfully Written Novel

With the use of much Scripture, this novel is all about giving hope to others and teaching them the way of the Lord.  9.8 out of 10.0 stars ~ CBM 

Against All Odds ~ Presenting a young girl, Wanda, being born in a single parent home in 1951, Wanda was raised by her single mother, which meant many things.  First, Wanda was home alone a lot; her family also endured much poverty and moved many times.  Wanda has three older brothers in the book that weren’t very nice to her and eventually multi-faceted forms of abuse arise from the boys, stemming from the parents, trickling down to the children.  Wanda, having no real sense of family, ended up pregnant as a teenager and also married an abusive spouse, therefore repeating the cycle.  Learning to overcome the many pitfalls of poverty through education, Wanda perseveres and relies on her faith in God from a young age to see her through the storms of her life. 

This wonderful story depicts the often plight of children raised in poor environments with a lack of family structure.  Endearing, this novel displays how God can help turn one life’s around, and points others in the direction of seeking God’s Kingdom first in their lives.  The book begins with a poignant scripture, Matthew 25:31-40 where Jesus separates the sheeps from the goats at the end of the age, speaking of those that fed the hungry, clothed the naked and visited those who were sick and in prison.  This is a highly encouraging and educational read, giving others faith in Jesus Christ and His Word for life’s journeys.

The Wake Up Call

Is America ready for revival?  Are we ready to see healing upon the land of the United States of America – the one that coins the phrase, In God We Trust, then this book is for you!

Reclaiming the Land: God’s Formula for Revival By Pastor Rusty Kuhn presents not only the desire for revival, but bold and biblical solutions leading to God’s idea of revival, not ours.  

Standing firm in the Word, Rusty Kuhn sheds light on the real issues that face this land today. Are you ready?  Revival is coming.  Read this book and find out how you can be a part of the solution.  A truly amazing read.

Invigorating, this book presents II Chronicles 7:14 as a basis for revival - If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  Gain understanding through this truthful and biblical application of the Word revealing that it’s only up to us first to turn and repent . . . God can do the rest.  Surprised?  You shouldn’t be. 

As noted by the author, It doesn’t take the most spiritually discerning person among us to see that we stand in desperate need of revival within our land.  We see churches in drastic decline which leads to moral decay and opens wide the door for the devourer to enter in and destroy our families and community.  The purpose of the book is two-fold: (1) . . . to see the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ rise to its full potential and calling by seeking the face of God and (2) seeing this land reclaimed in the name and for the glory of Jesus Christ. ~ Available at Amazon, in Kindle and other fine online bookstores.

A Highly Recommended Christian Novel by W. R. Sander

New Release Talmid - The Book of John by W. R. Sander reveals through a progressive novel the story of Jesus – or rather - Yeshua.  The author captivates readers through the journey of three teenagers growing up in first century Israel.  John, a young Jewish boy, is gifted with memorization of the Scriptures.  Meet Philo, another peer and much learned disciple of the elders, who is challenged by the new messages coming from the prophets that John encounters, challenging him to question his path in life.  And Myriam, one whose faith in the prophets' message is firm and resilient.  Many characters come into play to reveal the timeless story of Jesus, the Messiah, who came with a new message, one that challenged the Pharisees of that day.  This is an exciting and riveting story, taking readers back in time to experience Jesus during His ministry.  One will appreciate the historical accuracy as well as the Hebrew language incorporated throughout, offering an ancient feel to this hugely important book. 

This book comes highly recommended for the younger teenage audience, but would also be a very entertaining read for older readers as well.  The book was written so that one might understand who God is, who Jesus is and receive the gift of God – unto salvation.  Throughout the book, the Greatest Story Ever Told is presented through a fascinating and thought-provoking book with dialogue representative of the era (glossary included) as the writer paints vivid pictures of what life was like during the war torn and Roman oppressed Israel.  It is truly a fascinating read that will take you through many emotions of the emergence of the Messiah, leading to His crucifixion.  Invigorating, your faith will be lifted.
