Fictional Story Is Also a Call-to-Action Against Food Insecurity


News Image

“The goal of the book is to awaken, motivate, and ignite a call-to-action for all of us to become engaged with food sovereignty and food security solutions,” said Felder, “so that we are prepared for the changes that are coming to North America.”

A new book is calling for readers to change their behavior concerning food and nutrition and is urging both secular and nonsecular groups to take the leadership role in sparking this change.

“Kingdom Gardens,” written by S. Renee Felder, depicts the thriving community of a Kingdom Community in the year 2027 when the rest of the country is struggling with environmental changes, increased government control, and food scarcity. In the story, a young man visits this Kingdom Community and learns principles to take back to his state, where the locals struggle to meet the communities’ basic needs. Although the story is imagined, Felder fills the book with food sovereignty principles and strategies that can be implemented now on a small or large scale.

“The goal of the book is to awaken, motivate, and ignite a call-to-action for all of us to become engaged with food sovereignty and food security solutions,” said Felder, “so that we are prepared for the changes that are coming to the United States and North America, regarding food insecurity issues.”

Felder claims she began receiving prophecies from the Lord, shortly after dedicating her life to Jesus in the mid-1990s. As her relationship with the Lord grew, so did her prophetic gift. Around 2006, per what she described as the “Lord’s instructions,” she began to document many of her prophecies on an online blog. That led to the publication of her first book, “The Bridge, Moving from Increasing Chaos to Future Peace” followed by “Kingdom Gardens.”

“’Kingdom Gardens’ is a picture of what our country will look like, based on the current trajectory,” said Felder. “The story gives a glimpse of the continued impact of our current laws and regulations, where they are headed, and the increased tension between some states and the Federal Government.”

US Navy Gulf War Veteran Writes Christian Memoir Following Her Journey to Healing


News Image

“In my memoir, I tell my story on how I was saved by the world’s best hero, Jesus Christ,” Chapel said. “I wrote my story to communicate the message that, regardless of past guilt and shame we may have, God’s love transcends every darkened shade of sin.”

It’s almost as if author Grace Chapel had the deck stacked high against her from birth. As a little girl, she was beaten, molested, and sexually assaulted. As an adult, she was crushed by a divorce after 21 years of marriage, followed by another caused by infidelity. Vengeance flooded her brain daily, her past fueling her present to bitterness. It wasn’t until she felt the spirit of Christ console her soul that she took a new journey of healing, by writing her memoir, “50 Shades of Red: Her Story, His Love.”

Claiming that the holy spirit encouraged her to write her journey into a book, Chapel began purging her traumas and started a new path to healing. From her writings, she said she became emptied of the emotional clutter and relationship anxieties from her dark past, which slowed down her professional growth and development. By the time she finished her first book, Chapel gained spiritual strength. Once, seeing herself as a vulnerable lamb, she bloomed into a protective lion fueling her to become a better mother and follower of Christ.

“In my memoir, I tell my story on how I was saved by the world’s best hero, Jesus Christ,” Chapel said. “I wrote my story to communicate the message that, regardless of past guilt and shame we may have, God’s love transcends every darkened shade of sin.”

A victim herself, Chapel believes her book will appeal to readers who’ve experienced trauma from sexual violation and heartbreak. She hopes her story of strength will bring awareness to these issues and allow victims to recognize their pain, heal from it, and live better lives.

“It’s time for healing,” Chapel said. “Speaking and writing are my strengths; God has blessed me to pen 16 Christian books with solutions for church and world problems today. With these strengths, I was to show my readers that we are not alone. We will heal and overcome, no matter how many difficulties our past may bring to our future.”

New book serves as an exhaustive reference guide, an uplifting devotional and a fount of theological and mystical knowledge


News Image

Deacon Albert Graham announces his return to the publishing scene with the release of “Revelation, Mystical Phenomena and Divine Promises” (published by Trafford Publishing) which explores 43 mystical phenomena and depicts imagery of artists showing saints experiencing such phenomena.

This book is an exhaustive reference guide, an uplifting devotional, and a fount of theological and mystical knowledge. It points out to the reader that God has been and still is communicating to His creatures through miracles, wonders, private revelations and a host of mystical phenomena for over 2,000 years. A special chapter in this work deals with some saints and holy people who have had private revelations about or visits from souls in purgatory, hell or heaven. Another chapter and several of the appendixes are devoted to Marian apparitions including those approved, not approved and appending a decision by the church.

By far, one of the greatest strengths of this undertaking is the identification of some 43 categories of concomitant extraordinary phenomena and some of the saints and holy people who have experienced them. Color paintings by artists are depicted of some saints experiencing such mystical phenomena. Another unique feature of the book is a listing of some 600 individuals from the 13th to the 21st centuries who bore the stigmata. By knowing that God is present and alive to his people, this book may help bring others to a deeper faith in God.

“Many in our society and culture have lost their sense of the miraculous, otherworldly and supernatural. It is my hope that this book will appeal to people of all faith and religion to strengthen their spirituality knowing that God is ever present and alive to His people. It may help to bring unbelievers to awareness, seekers to belief and believers to a deeper faith in God,” Graham says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answered, “That God still intervenes in human affairs through voices, visions, apparitions, locutions, miracles, signs and wonders.” For more details about the book, please visit, https://www.trafford.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/840134-revelation-mystical-phenomena-and-divine-promises

Professional Baseball Player Turned Pastor Writes Book Focusing on Overcoming Fear


News Image

“The Covid-19 pandemic inspired me to write this book,” McGarity said. “At the time, people were feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Instead of following the negative and fearful feelings, I wanted to write a book that teaches people to overcome all fears in the light of faith.”

Author Jeremy McGarity introduces, “Faith Over Fear: How to apply faith to any fearful situation,” a Christian self-help book dedicated to helping people overcome any fear with the proper application of faith.

Kathleen L. Carriger debuts her first book: “Missionary Mama”


News Image

Years prior, Carriger was inspired by a book about Mother Teresa which eventually led her to join Wycliffe Bible Translators. The Lord led her on a mission that she never dreamed of and for half a decade she served as a teacher in Niger, Kenya, Tanzania, and Cameroon.

In “Missionary Mama: Tales of Africa and Wycliffe Bible Translators, 2001-2015,” by Kathleen L. Carriger, readers are provided with an in-depth look at Carriger’s transition from a California homebody to a missionary in Africa.

“A lot of people are fascinated by reading missionary stories and looking for ways to stretch their own faith or they may wonder if they would want to be a missionary,” Carriger said. “This book is a real-life story of what that could look like.”

Carriger returned to the U.S. where she served at Wycliffe’s training base in N.C. There, she eventually joined the Youth and Family Ministries team and worked with families that had served all over the world.

“Missionary Mama” will take readers through the highs and lows of Carriger’s adventure as a missionary and will share how she evolved from a wife, mother, and teacher to a woman with a heart for the world.

Newly published book brings us back closer to God’s Original Word


News Image

Terry N. Trent, Sr. announces his entry into the publishing scene with the release of “Original Truth: Restored from texts which have been altered or mistranslated since their divinely inspired original writings” (published by AuthorHouse).

This book is Trent’s honest attempt to bring back God’s Word as near to its original meaning as possible converting older terms from Hebrew and Greek/Aramaic (spoken by Christ) into the English language. Here, he gets readers nearer to the original writings of Yahweh than anything else presented in English since the time when Jesus Christ walked the earth as God in the flesh.

“Many people are AWAKENING to the deceptions and brainwashing to which we have all been subjected in recent decades and indeed for our entire lifetimes. They also want to learn what tampering, and more exactly stated, what SABOTAGE has occurred in the Holy Bible as well. The original writings in Hebrew and Greek/Aramaic from the prophets of old were divinely inspired by God, and fortunately for us, Hebrew has NEVER changed. Now people can get closer to the original truth than ever before,” Trent points out.

When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Trent answered, “I hope they will see that there was once a fellow who cared enough about the original truth of God’s divinely inspired Word, that he put his name (no pen name) on the line in an honest effort to preserve that Word as God intended for us to have it. I also hope that one fine day I may hear my Heavenly Father saying… JOB WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.authorhouse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/849491-original-truth
