“Are we living in a world of wickedness that is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah? Is it possible that the United States of America has plunged from the greatest nation on the planet with endless opportunities for American dreams to a country that rivals the evil and adulterous ways of Nineveh?” Dr. Debra J. Dean often questions if the world today is as bad as it was when Noah built the ark or when the tower of Babylon was being built.

“Jesus Come Revive America: Forgive Us for We Have Sinned” (published by Archway Publishing) is a user-friendly approach to reading the Bible, understanding historical events, and practically implementing the Bible’s teachings in today’s world. It incorporates archeology, anthropology, geography, history, philosophy, sociology, and theology to help Americans prepare for the next Great Awakening. Here, Dean expands on the lives of regular people like Esther and Gideon, along with the Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ, to highlight how they were bold and courageous. In doing so, she reveals how people can apply the same zeal for God today as they prepare for revival and learn to live a holy lifestyle.

“This book will explain the issues I have personally faced as a Christian American woman. It will also share stories of others that quietly, fearfully, and reluctantly shared with me. Stories that need to be shared with a broader audience in the hopes of redirecting the course of religious freedom for our once great nation and most importantly, hope for the soul of each person that they may choose an eternity in heaven instead of suffering forever in hell,” Dean says.

When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Dean answered, “I pray this book will give you hope for the future, courage to be bold, and a sense of compassion for all people. I hope it will give you a sense of all sides of the issue and a heart to seek understanding. I also hope it will somehow unite people across the globe and bring civility to the nations. And, most importantly, I hope it will give rise to a rebirth of Christianity throughout the world, a spiritual revival of people deciding to live for Christ and seek their eternal home. An awakening that we desperately need.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/806740-jesus-come-revive-america

I was inspired to write this book because my words did not align with the Bible’s standards for Christians

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
March 01, 2023

Author Zachary Wayne Lavender helps Christians mature in the area of taming the tongue with A Restless Evil: Dental Danger ($12.49, paperback, 9781662867101; $5.99, e-book, 9781662867118).

What does it mean to take control of your tongue? Taking his cue from the book of James, Lavender expounds on the theme of restless (uncontrolled or unrestrained) tongues and the importance of words.

“I was inspired to write this book because my words did not align with the Bible’s standards for Christians,” said Lavender.

Zachary Lavender’s training was helmed by some of Chicago’s finest in choral, church, and vocal music. In addition, he has done extensive training in voice pedagogy at Roosevelt University/Chicago Musical College under the guidance of Mr. Robert Long and Ms. Ruth Ann Bishop. Throughout his fifty-year tenure as a church musician, Lavender has built a reputation for developing singers and musicians to perfect the church’s music ministry. He has continued to hone his skills as a composer, conductor, teacher, musician, and author.

CHAPTER 2

“Music has a way of removing all gaps and boundaries of separation between cultures, generations, and denominations. … The things that separate us from one another don’t seem as important when we are in God’s presence together,” said Sabrina Harrison, Co-Founder of AMEN Church and TRUE Music.

DALLAS (PRWEB)
February 28, 2023

AMEN Church — an urban nondenominational congregation in Dallas founded by local entrepreneurs and Christian worship leaders Dr. Field and Sabrina Harrison, hosted AMEN NIGHTS CHAPTER 2, a free worship night open to the Dallas community, on Sunday, February 26, 2023, at the Echo Lounge. The Harrisons are the Founders of several successful businesses and faith-based charitable organizations including, MINT dentistry, AMEN Church, and TRUE Music.

AMEN NIGHTS CHAPTER 2 was AMEN Church’s second worship event of the year featuring Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum-selling singer and songwriter Dante Bowe, along with Nate Diaz, Evvie Mckinney, and Aaron Moses. These worship nights, referred to as chapters, are held monthly to establish unity as a community through creative artistic expression. The performance song list included: Blood of the Lamb, Holy Ghost, I Can Do All Things, You Are, I Love Your Presence, Show Me Your Face, Forever Yours, and Hero.

AMEN Church hosts worship nights open to the public each month in partnership with TRUE Music, an independent music label pioneering new approaches to the signing and development of recording artists and songwriters.

“Musicians, songwriters, and artists are a dominant force in shaping culture,” said Sabrina Harrison, Co-Founder of AMEN Church, TRUE Music, and MINT dentistry. “Music has a way of removing all gaps and boundaries of separation between cultures, generations, and denominations. Through worship, we are all reminded of God’s goodness and strength in our lives. The things that separate us from one another don’t seem as important when we are in God’s presence together.”

Dante Bowe headlined the event. The artist, in partnership with Dr. Field and Sabrina Harrison, is the Co-Founder and CEO of TRUE Music. He has been featured on the Tamron Hall Show, Variety, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, Vogue.com, and BET. With TRUE Music, Bowe has recently released a new genre-defying single and anthem, Hide Me. “Hide Me was created in the middle of a storm,” says Bowe. “God revealed to me that He is in control and is the strong one in the middle of my weakness. And, through it, I’ve found a stronger Dante!”

The Hide Me single is an introduction to Bowe’s solo, cross-genre album scheduled to be released later this year entitled PRESS PLAY on his new TRUE Music record label. “I want this album to touch lives and bless people to the point where they can feel good again, have fun again, and feel a sense of freedom and peace,” said Bowe. AMEN NIGHTS CHAPTER 3 will take place in late March 2023. Admission is free, and all are welcome. For more information, go to http://www.theamenchurch.com.

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. (PRWEB)
February 27, 2023

Personal exploration of her own faith led Holly Michaels to realize that there was not a lot of information about Jesus’s disciples. She took it upon herself to learn as much as possible about those who were seen as the closest to God, and combined that research into her new book, “The Disciples: The Lives, Stories and Careers of Jesus’s Most Beloved Disciples.”

In her book, Michaels dives into the history and personal lives of the Disciples. She explores how each disciple was a unique person, not unlike Christians today.

“The Disciples were just people,” Michaels said. “They were a group of misfits- unimportant, unassuming people who Jesus hand-selected to follow him.”

“The Disciples” approaches the individual Disciples as human, rather than grand biblical figures. Michaels wants readers to feel like they know the Disciples as if they were friends.

“Jesus chose the Disciples to follow him, just like he chose you,” Michaels said. “Normal people can experience the same love that the Disciples did.”

Michaels’ goal is to share her years of research, and encourage readers to look deeper into the pages of the Bible.

Christian Community Credit Union donated $5,000 towards IM’s relief effort in response to the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. (Photo courtesy of IM)

It is our calling to support those in need during times of crisis to show our solidarity and a message of hope to the affected families.

SAN DIMAS, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 20, 2023

Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) donated $5,000 to International Ministries (IM) emergency relief efforts for survivors of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023, which was followed hours later by a second powerful jolt. Many buildings collapsed including hospitals, schools, and apartment blocks. Thousands of lives were lost, and those who survived were left without homes and basic necessities.

The funds for the donation come from CCCU’s “Cards that Give to Missions” program, in which a portion of the Credit Union’s interchange income (fees merchants pay to card issuers) is donated when cardholders use their Christian Community Credit Union-issued credit cards for purchases.

“We are deeply saddened by the impact of this disaster on the communities in Turkey and Syria,” said Blair Korschun, Christian Community Credit Union President and CEO. “It is our calling to support those in need during times of crisis to show our solidarity and a message of hope to the affected families. We encourage our members and the community to make donations to reputable organizations, such as IM’s One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) campaign, that are working on the ground to help those affected.”

Help Support IM’s Relief Efforts

International Ministries has launched a One Great Hour of Sharing campaign to raise much needed aid in Turkey and Syria. Donations will be used to support the efforts of local humanitarian organizations providing emergency food, shelter, and medical assistance to those affected by the earthquakes. To support IM’s relief efforts online, please click here. To send checks, please make it payable to International Ministries and designate “Turkey/Syria Earthquake Relief” on the memo line of your check. Mail checks to International Ministries, Attn: Gifts Processing, 1003 W 9th Avenue, Ste A, King of Prussia, PA 19406.

International Ministries, also known as the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, works cross-culturally to invite people to become disciples of Jesus Christ and to proclaim, through both word and deed, God’s reign of justice, peace, and abundant life for all creation.

One Great Hour of Sharing is administered by the World Relief Committee of the Board of General Ministries of American Baptist Churches USA. The Committee facilitates American Baptist emergency relief, disaster rehabilitation, refugee work, and development assistance by establishing policy guidelines and overseeing the distribution of the annual OGHS offering received by churches.

Christian Community Credit Union is a faith-based, purpose-driven financial cooperative whose mission is to serve Christ followers to live and give more abundantly. CCCU has over $880 million in assets and 30,000 members nationwide.

Nothing God creates does not have a purpose to serve

MIAMI (PRWEB)
February 13, 2023

Author Alison Marcellus reminds believers of the basics of service in The Heart of Servanthood: The Purpose of Mankind is Found in Servanthood ($14.49, paperback, 9781662869228; $6.99, e-book, 9781662869242).

Service to others is certainly a biblical concept, but it has many everyday parallels with which readers can relate. Marcellus reminds them that, in many jobs, the quickest route to promotion is to provide great service. In the book, she provides relatable examples of servitude, and explains the responsibility of believers to maintain their “saltiness” of servanthood.

“Nothing God creates does not have a purpose to serve,” said Marcellus.

Alison Marcellus is an ordained minister, author and preacher who preaches the Word of God with the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. A native of Nassau, Bahamas following her parents’ strong example of godly service, she is also a current student at the University of the Supernatural Ministry in Miami, FL.

This book shows that science and faith aren’t in mutual opposition, but highly complementary

MCLEAN, Va. (PRWEB)
February 13, 2023

Author James A. Cannon, Ph.D. explains the faith behind physics in Finding the Light: Science and its Vision ($15.99, paperback, 9781662865787; $29.99, dust jacket, 9781662865794; $7.99, e-book, 9781662865800).

Contrary to the popular belief that science opposes Christian faith, Cannon teaches that historical physical science, as well as modern physics, follow faith’s universal promptings within the human heart. He demonstrates how both have flourished together in the lives of prominent scientists throughout history, and argues that faith in God is a guardian of classical realism, the philosophical foundation of science.

This book shows that science and faith aren’t in mutual opposition, but highly complementary.

Dr. James A Cannon (b.1933 – d.2020), after serving in the US Navy during the Korean war, studied and practiced journalism as managing editor of the Fordham University newspaper. Then he switched his area of concentration to physics. He earned an MA at Columbia and a B.S. and Ph.D. at Fordham. He did basic research at Bell Labs, but having the heart of a teacher, he left to pursued a career spanning five decades as a revered professor of physics and chemistry at Pace University in New York. A neurological injury led to retirement. He suffered for a dozen years until complications from Parkinson’s and Covid-19 took his life. During this time, with of the able assistance of his devoted wife, Monica, Dr. Cannon wrote Finding the Light: Science and its Vision, a testament to his life’s work, his Catholic faith, his love of science and his love of teaching.
