Denny Dubs, a retired college teacher who loves to travel with his wife and has a deep passion for Christianity, has completed his new book “Pieces of A Life: Reflections: Sacred and Secular”: a reflective piece on the presence of religion in the life of the author.

Published by Page Publishing, Denny Dubs’s provoking tale intertwines personal experience with religion and stories of those who impacted his life.

In his new book, Denny deals with people, stories, anecdotes, events, and thoughts he has had over the years that have largely centered around his interest in religion. The book is about his life, but there is nothing chronological about it; it is presented to you in pieces, a piece here and a piece there. Hopefully, you will find interest in these vignettes—some entertaining, some educational—and hopefully they might enlighten you to think more about your soul, salvation, and Father in heaven. If a story takes you there, perhaps others will follow.”

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Pieces of A Life: Reflections: Sacred and Secular” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Together they have two children and two grandchildren.

Brake shares, “What is life all about? What wisdom and life lessons have you learned? What are the enduring essential truths and treasures of life that you must share and pass on to your children, family, and friends?

“A father’s intention is to leave a rich legacy of love to his own family by providing solid and simple instructions and meaningful answers to life’s most important questions. He ambitiously begins to layout the basics of finding lasting purpose, meaning, and direction in life when he realizes that this is much more than just a personal project. His book became a mission to bring a message of TRUTH to anyone who dares to read it.

’Digging Deeper: The Bible Study’ furthered my understanding and love of the Bible. It is uplifting, multifaceted with precise information to reflect upon.

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (PRWEB)
July 19, 2021

Rev. Florence Lunde experienced a dark period of hopelessness after surviving polio, which resulted in emotional distress, physical disabilities including becoming a wheelchair user and the need for a ventilator at night as well as took a toll on her social life. After feelings of grief and anger due to her disability, Rev. Lunde was lifted out of her dark place when she welcomed Jesus into her life and made it worth living. He saved her by providing a hopeful outlook on life and an appreciation for everything that she has been blessed with. Her personal experience inspired her to write “Digging Deeper: The Bible Study” as well as its companion book “Digging Deeper: The Devotional” so she could share with others the way her life was transformed by God and instill hope in readers by introducing them to the power and salvation of Jesus.

“Digging Deeper: The Bible Study” is a 30-day self-reflective, interactive, and thematic Bible study based on its sister book “Digging Deeper: The Devotional.” The book addresses themes such as fear, God’s presence in times of trouble, why worry, and trusting God and is designed to encourage the reader to enhance their Christian walk and to apply the Bible to their life.

“Before Jesus came into my life, I was severely depressed and suicidal because I could not accept my disability. To me, the future was as dark and bleak as it can get,” Rev. Lunde said. “When Jesus came into my life, He ended my depression, gave me a reason to live, and put joy in my heart. My desire is to share what Jesus has done for me as well as the message of victoriously living through the word of God despite one’s circumstances.”

“’Digging Deeper: The Bible Study’ furthered my understanding and love of the Bible. It is uplifting, multifaceted with precise information to reflect upon. Rev. Lunde gives us opportunities to look at our Biblical understanding and activity as well as enhance our self-evaluation. I definitely would recommend both the Bible Study and the companion book, ‘Digging Deeper: The Devotional’,” a reviewer wrote about the book.

Rev. Lunde’s books are destined to open readers’ minds and hearts to the many ways Jesus can enrich their lives. By applying the Bible to one’s daily life, they will have a new and hopeful outlook on the world around them and will grow in their walk with God alongside Rev. Lunde.

“Journey of My Life”: a powerful testament to the power of faith and perseverance. “Journey of My Life” is the creation of published author Brenda M. Uhler.

Uhler shares, “Journey of My Life started many years ago. My journey had great veils of years, but also many joyous memories. In my journey, I did not understand why a loving, caring, and gracious God would take a little girl’s daddy at such a young age. What was the purpose? What was He thinking?

“Overwhelmed with grief, it was difficult for me to see that all things happen for a reason. I believe God’s using me so His work can be seen through me. I truly believe this book was an inspiration from God himself so that I can help someone in their agony. It aims to be an inspiration so they won’t go through all I did, that they might turn to Jesus instead of wallowing in anger, frustration, and grief and will continuously call on the Lord for His peace, joy, and deliverance.

“Looking toward heaven, I realize now that I do have a Father who loves me and who is still alive. He will never leave me or forsake me! Thank you, Heavenly Father!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Brenda M. Uhler’s new book is an engaging tale of spiritual healing and growth.

The author writes with an open heart and presents the good, the bad, and the ugly of life’s lessons and how healing is possible.

STILL (DELUXE)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)
July 13, 2021

3x Grammy nominee Brian Courtney Wilson releases the STILL (DELUXE) digital album today. The updated album features all of the popular tracks from the original 2020 version and two newly recorded duets. The new singles are the reimagining of the black love classic “Be Real Black For Me,” featuring Ledisi, and the retooled “Fear Is Not Welcome” with Lady A’s Hillary Scott.

These exceptional partnerships with multi-Platinum trio’s Hillary Scott and Grammy Award winning artist, Ledisi demonstrate both the broad influence of Gospel music and Brian’s ability to transcend specific ‘genres.’  

Well-known as a singer-songwriter who consistently bridges the sound of Gospel, R&B, and Soul. And as someone who continually reaches outside of the box, Brian Courtney Wilson maintains his signature smooth style in each rendition.

In addition to the Donny Hathaway / Roberta Flack Classic “Be Real Black For Me,” and the power-filled worship ballad “Fear Is Not Welcome,” STILL (DELUXE) offers original recordings from the 8-track LP, including the groovy “Sure As,” and the meaningful ballad “Waiting.”
