“Called Christians”: a potent exploration of faith and practicing the expectations of that faith. “Called Christians” is the creation of published author Billy B. Dunbar, who has been the pastor of the congregation at Bethesda Community Fellowship in Russell Springs, Kentucky for thirty-seven years. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Biblical Studies from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, and a Master of Arts degree in Church Ministries from Church of God Theological Seminary in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Dunbar shares, “Although it was about ten years after the Church had come into existence before the name ‘Christians’ was given to the followers of Christ, the name must have been in God’s divine plan, for the title has stood the test of time. What a tremendous honor to be named after the anointed Son of God! How much more important, however, is it to be a Christian rather than to just be called one!

“The lives of some who are called Christians leave something to be desired from the standpoint of sound scriptural doctrine. Fair weather believers, or cotton candy Christians, are content only with mountaintop experiences and have problems with valley experiences, testing, and trials. The lazy professors—cholesterol Christians—are always taking in God’s Word but are not diligent in meeting its requirements. Fence-straddling worldlings are country-club Christians.

“Genuine, diligent Christians are sold out completely to Christ and are willing to endure cross-bearing and self-denial to exemplify Him. These are consecrated Christians, the kind of saints who were in the church at Antioch where the title ‘Christians’ was first applied to the followers of Christ.

“The Christians of Antioch appropriately demonstrated Christlike qualities in their lifestyle: teaching, worship, direction by the Holy Spirit, benevolence, and organization. What wonderful balance! How fitting that those who were first named after Christ would bear the name with such dignity!

“Hopefully, all who are called Christians will realize the importance of exemplifying these Christlike characteristics in their lives so the name above every name will be exalted to its rightful place. Living a Christlike lifestyle ensures that we will meet Christ at His return, which is the hope of every believer.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Billy B. Dunbar’s new book is an engaging and thought-provoking examination of the characteristics, expectations, and teachings of Christian living.

With relevant scripture and eloquent reflections, Dunbar presents a considerable argument for the need for spiritual reflection and growth if one is to live a truly Christian life.

“Humble Perspectives: A Book of Poetry”: an inspiring arrangement of spiritual writings. “Humble Perspectives: A Book of Poetry” is the creation of published author Milan Newbill, an Arizona native and loving husband who has completed missionary work in Haiti, Africa, and Mexico.

Newbill shares, “Humble Perspectives is an inspirational book of poetry that I hope will provoke your thoughts and engage your mind. These perspectives are from a man who loves writing and loves people. This collection was written over a span of more than ten years and began in the mind of how an eleven-year-old boy viewed nature, then as a high school student viewing connections and relationships, and finally, as a young man observing life.

“This debut book of poetry is centered on the viewpoints of life’s happenings and the various circumstances that come with them. From the picturesque outlooks of God’s amazing creation, the journey of exploring how to walk in faith, the value of connecting with people and relationships, the realities of life’s hardships experienced by youth, and the triumphs of persevering survivors.

“These poetic depictions reflect the trials, heartaches, love, and joys within people. The expressions provide hope, a heart-grabbing view of challenging situations for the young and old and creative topical writings allowing your mind to both ponder and wonder at the depth of the prose.

“I hope you enjoy the glimpse into what I have captured as much as I have enjoyed being blessed by God to share it.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Milan Newbill’s new book is an encouraging and contemplative collection of personal writings.

Newbill presents a series of thought-provoking lyrical verse that explores a variety of topics from the everyday to bigger concepts such as God’s love for creation.

“Into Jesus’s Plan”: an engaging tale of personal and spiritual growth. “Into Jesus’s Plan” is the creation of published author Earnest Jones Jr., a loving brother to three sisters who grew up the small college town of Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

Earnest Jones Jr. shares, “Into Jesus’s Plan is a short and straight-to-the-point book about a young man growing up and wondering about the mysteries of the heaven and the unknown. This journey takes him from his childhood and teenage years to seeking the whole truth in Jesus Christ way into his young adulthood. He starts his search for the whole truth in righteousness, which he is most familiar with. When he has an overwhelming spiritual experience, it leads him to ask more questions and carries him through several religious experiences until he finds the whole truth in righteousness in Jesus Christ into his adulthood. Earnest and his family’s drives to church in the country would soon fade away, and Earnest began to face some challenges during his teenage years. He began to hang out with the wrong crowd and began to smoke cigarettes, use illegal drugs, and drink alcohol. Earnest began to break in and began to take things that did not belong to him and began to get in trouble with law enforcement. While his mother and sisters decided to start over and he began a new life for himself, trouble would follow. Along with the personal challenges that he faced during his teenage years, Earnest had questions about religion and a true Christian way of life, but would he find it?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Earnest Jones Jr.’s new book is an encouraging narrative of one who was lost from faith but soon discovered the important role it plays in life.

Earnest Jones Jr. writes in hopes of encouraging others who may have drifted from God as he once did.

“Chronicles of the Hidden Cave: The Lion of Juda”: an enjoyable fiction with hidden biblical messages. “Chronicles of the Hidden Cave: The Lion of Juda” is the creation of published author Jimmie Lou Smith, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who devoted a career to education and currently lives on a pine tree farm in Southeast Georgia.

Smith shares, “Ben loves to wander around outdoors exploring nature with intense curiosity.

“His special place is an oasis where his ramblings become thrilling adventures. He discovers a cave on a high cliff, hidden by an overgrowth of bushes. He encounters a creature he could never have imagined and a mysterious voice that sends him on missions to authenticate happenings that occurred in the life of Jesus. Along the way, he relives ancient events, meets interesting characters, and gains skills as a secret agent intent on learning truths.

“The discovery of the cave also led him to find an underground chamber that contained chest of artifacts and jugs containing scrolls. Because of its unique characteristics, he called the chamber a magical place and vowed to keep it a secret until someday in the future.

“The fictional tales, which are fanciful and adventurous, will hopefully encourage interest. They are followed by a biblical entry which gives the facts of the story. If I may quote a well-known theologian, Dr. David Jeremiah, ‘The fiction drives the truth into our hearts, and the Scripture behind the fiction drives it into our minds.’”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jimmie Lou Smith’s new book is a creative and delightful tale of adventure.

Balancing the exhilaration of fiction with the importance of the spiritual messages within, Smith presents a wonderfully unique experience in this flagship work.

Carl F. Bierdeman’s new book “Christianity According to Jesus: John 17: The Final Reformation” from Christian Faith Publishing sends a powerful, articulate message to the Christian community that it needs to change to conform to what Jesus has taught about eternal life.

Bierdeman shares, “Just before Jesus was crucified, he met with his disciples to tell them the way to eternal life. He told them they needed to know God the way he knew God. He prayed that their spirits be ‘one in the same’ with the spirit of God (The Holy Spirit) the same as his spirit was ‘one in the same’ with the spirit of God. This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, ‘I and the Father are one.’. To be spiritually related to God through the Holy Spirit is the way God wants to ‘know’ us and is the way to Heaven. Jesus showed us that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey him. God will give us the Spirit the same way he gave it to Jesus if we obey him.

“About 1500 years after Jesus told his disciples and those who were to follow (us) how to get to Heaven, the Catholic Church had turned ‘Christianity’ into something that wasn’t even close to what Jesus was talking about. There were a number of ‘reformers’ who risked being burned at the stake by going against the Catholic Church. Two of these men, Martin Luther and John Calvin (and others) came up with their own teachings which attracted followers and also led to the many different Protestant and Evangelical denominations we have today. The problem is none of these reformers taught what Jesus told his disciples. We still need a ‘final reformation.’”

“The Egg Is Still in There”: a potent discussion of the author’s spiritual growth. “The Egg Is Still in There” is the creation of published author Keisha Perrin, a loving wife and mother who has worked as a hairdresser, a nurse tech in a local emergency room, and a secretary for a family-owned business.

Perrin shares, “Life has been a challenge for Keisha to find the truth of God with false teachings and lack of true discipleship around her. The Holy Spirit divinely intervenes with choosing one of two roads, destruction or God.

“This choice brought many storms and trials that were authored by God Almighty to break her and her family down to remold them into His image. The cost was high but well worth it.

“Forgiveness for herself was necessary, and as the convicting came, God also healed through a comparison of the family according to God’s word with baking.

“Knowledge and truth is powerful. The science of baking a cake with ingredients eggs and flour match God’s purpose for the family. Satan deceives women into thinking their purpose and touch on the family isn’t seen, but the egg is still in there even though you can’t always see it! We were all born with a purpose!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Keisha Perrin’s new book is an encouraging look into the author’s experiences in life and faith.

With thoughtful reflections and relevant scripture, Perrin hopes to encourage others who may be going through similar situations to find peace through God’s love.

Coat drive by the Church of the Epiphany in downtown Washington DC, to ensure people experiencing homelessness have basic needs met.

“We know much more about COVID-19 and how it spreads now than we did in the early days of the pandemic,” said Nagulan Nesiah. “This new campaign, shared through our village Savings with Education groups, will help to dispel the misconceptions about the virus.”

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
August 26, 2021

Episcopal Relief & Development is continuing to support partners in the United States and around the world in providing targeted assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The organization is partnering with local organizations in Brazil, Sri Lanka and Tanzania on additional emergency responses to support the most vulnerable populations. These international projects are supported primarily by a generous grant from Trinity Church Wall Street.

In Tanzania, with Episcopal Relief & Development support, Mothers’ Union is building on the foundation of its 2020 COVID-19 educational awareness campaign. Working with local government departments, the agency is updating the materials to reflect current guidance and information about the virus. The curriculum will be taught to savings group leaders who were trained last year and to leaders from an additional 16 high-risk dioceses. The leaders will then bring that information back to share with their groups and local communities.

“We know much more about COVID-19 and how it spreads now than we did in the early days of the pandemic,” said Nagulan Nesiah, Senior Program Officer, Disaster Response and Risk Reduction, Episcopal Relief & Development. “This new campaign, shared through our village Savings with Education groups, will help to dispel the misconceptions about the virus and will help equip communities to better protect themselves.”

In the United States, Episcopal Relief & Development is supporting the Episcopal dioceses of East Tennessee, Georgia, Puerto Rico, Southwestern Virginia and Washington on new responses to meet additional needs created by the pandemic. The dioceses are assisting marginalized communities through vaccination clinics, incentives for those who receive the vaccine, gift cards for school supplies, assistance in applying for SNAP benefits, medical care, and more.

Vulnerable individuals and families in the Appalachian region are historically underserved. Additionally, the area was already experiencing an economic recession before the pandemic began, the effects of which were multiplied by the impact of COVID-19. The Episcopal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia is providing relief this summer to these communities through Grace House on the Mountain’s network in the region. Grace House on the Mountain, a non-profit community center run by the diocese, is replenishing food pantries to feed 1,500 people and is covering utility expenses for approximately 25 families. Additionally, the diocese is offering assistance with medical expenses, including expenses for care due to COVID-19.

“Many families in the Appalachian region are living just below the poverty line,” says Katie Mears, Senior Director, US Disaster Program, Episcopal Relief & Development. “Through the efforts of dioceses like Southwestern Virginia and East Tennessee, families experiencing economic hardship caused by the pandemic are getting the help they need.”

Donations to the COVID-19 Pandemic Response Fund will enable Episcopal Relief & Development to continue to provide assistance to vulnerable communities impacted by the coronavirus, both in the United States and around the world.
