Enduring Cancer with Patience and Giving God the Glory


News Image

There is a purpose in the pain which can encourage one to trust God when nothing makes sense.

Joyce Lynn Dunaway’s book Cancer Patience ($11.99, paperback, 9781498459020; $5.99, e-book, 9781498459037), is available for purchase.

Cancer Patience tells about a couple’s journey when after subtle yet growing changes in David’s personality and behavior led the author, Joyce, to the realization that there is no excuse to remain silent. David was diagnosed with progressive cancer and his undergoing treatments would trigger a downward spiral of his health and well-being years later in various forms.

There is a purpose in the pain which can encourage one to trust God when nothing makes sense. To the unbelievers it could be a double-edged sword as they belittle our trust and faith in Him. Then again, enduring a real and long-lasting trial has opened up an opportunity for us believers to shine when facing difficult trials. A profound testimony to others—believers or not— is a divine opportunity to surely praise and give glory to the Creator of the universe through the mountains we go through!

“David and I pray it will encourage people, male or female, of any age, to take charge of their health. If our story would raise awareness to others preventing the same scenario we experienced, David and I gladly give God the Honor and Glory for allowing us to be used of Him to help others as His instruments,” said Dunaway.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 12,000 titles published to date. Cancer Patience is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Warlene Smith’s newly released “Fire and a Hammer” is an inspiring account that gives the readers an encouragement to study and learn the Holy Bible


News Image

“Fire and a Hammer”: a captivating account that covers the subject that gives answers to the readers based on the Holy Bible. “Fire and a Hammer” is the creation of published author Warlene Smith, a woman who grew up on the farm where writing played a huge role in her entire life. Some of her work consisted of writing for local newspaper articles including the monthly news for Round Dance and Square Dance Magazine, poetry contests, and a few country-western songs.

Smith writes, “As I am constantly being asked why I wrote my book, my answer was very clear. When I draw my last breath on this earth, the legacy I wish to leave behind with countless people I have been blessed to meet and study the Bible will be God’s plan of salvation and what we must do to go to Heaven. I hope this book will prick the hearts and minds of everyone and spark that fire for studying and learning the Bible.

“Fire and a Hammer covers the thoughts I have about the book I wrote. I have taken scriptures from the Bible, verse by verse, to help explain and teach what we must do, and my prayers are that my book will be a useful tool, a gift that keeps on giving.

“Fire is the powerful Word of 573 God, and the hammer breaking it to pieces, is written very clear in black and white and answers questions to all subjects open under discussion. Fire and a Hammer completely 576 covers the subject with answers from the Bible, period; not man’s word, but God’s word.

“With the condition the world is in today, we must slow down with earthly achievements and make going to Heaven when we die our main priority in life.

“If we stop for one moment and ask ourselves this question— where will your soul go? To Heaven or to hell? After much study, this is why I wanted to write this book because it tells us what God commands us to do. Simply obey God and keep his commandments.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Warlene Smith’s new book is a fundamental tool that guides the readers to understand better the powerful Words of God.

With this purpose, Smith aims to touch the heart of the readers and aims to open their minds and spark the fire urging them to study and learn the Bible.

Next News Network Gets Sneak Peak At New Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and The Squad YouTube Parody From Creator Chris Kohls With Sight On Netflix


AOC & The Squad Title Card

AOC & The Squad Title Card

If this show is popular on YouTube, if we’re getting a million hits an episode, we think we could hook one of the major entertainment platforms like Netflix. Frankly, they would be crazy not to pick this up. That’s the ultimate goal.

“Mr. Regan”, the conservative YouTube personality, spoke with Next News Network host Gary Franchi on his latest production, a hilarious new cartoon about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the ridiculous things her friends in “the squad” do in DC to undermine our Republic. Chris Kohls, who goes by the pseudonym “Mr. Reagan” on his channel pointed out to Franchi that more often than not, the left inserts their political views into a wide range of entertainment from movies to shows, yet conservatives don’t have much representation.

Kohls elaborated off camera, “The left has a monopoly on entertainment. We wanted to do something without all the SJW preaching. It’s important to get conservative ideas out there in a comedy show and there are so few shows that come from a conservative perspective, that we think we will dominate the space. And it’s not strictly an anti-leftist show. We’re willing to ridicule anyone.”

On the show’s popularity and Netflix goals, Kohls made it clear, “If this show is popular on YouTube, if we’re getting a million hits an episode, we think we could hook one of the major entertainment platforms like Netflix. Frankly, they would be crazy not to pick this up. That’s the ultimate goal.”

The two also discussed classic franchises like Star Wars, Terminator, and Ghostbusters that have seen the left inject social justice warrior issues and identity politics into their storyline, ruining these established brands. Kohls said “There’s just so much politics in entertainment right now, and I think we should just be able to step back and enjoy a good story without infusing politics.” Kohls is determined to change that while taking on The Squad with a healthy dose of comedy.

Wikipedia notes “The Squad” “is a group of four congresswomen elected in the 2018 United States House of Representatives elections, made up of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.”

The cartoon’s teaser features AOC’s squad discovering that Ilhan Omar is actually bald under her hijab and Kohls also revealed Next News Network host Gary Franchi will make a cartoon cameo.

Kohls remarked that many late night comedians, use ridicule of President Trump and conservatives that ends up pulling moderates over to the left. Kohls is doing his part to bring moderates over to the right by lampooning AOC & The Squad.

He also revealed the cartoon’s main animated superhero who saves the day in just about every episode, is the “Great Orange Patriot” and bears a striking resemblance to President Trump.

Kohls goal for the cartoon is to release a full season of about 10 episodes, and Mr. Reagan is asking viewers to participate in the production by chipping in if they want to help. He set a fundraising goal of $20,000 to pay for production expenses.
