New Book Reminds Children the Purpose Behind God’s Creations


News Image

“The earth and all things in it were created for us, not the other way around,” said Johns. “They are like love letters that He blesses us with each day. Yet, we are also love letters from God, sent to bless others.”

A new children’s book follows the journey of a young girl who seeks to understand why God made the enjoyable things in life. A young girl’s discovery of “why” highlights God’s divine purpose of ensuring pleasure for all people on earth.

In “God, Why Did You Make Me?” by Becky A. Johns, readers join an exploration of the significance behind some of the best things in the young child’s world. She learns that dogs, cats, rain, her parents and even the sun were all created to bring happiness and joy.

“The earth and all things in it were created for us, not the other way around,” said Johns. “They are like love letters that He blesses us with each day. Yet, we are also love letters from God, sent to bless others.”

As a former preschool teacher and mother, Johns knows the significance of the question “why,” and has supplied answers. In the end, she establishes that the most significant answer is “to bless others,” and that the time to learn this lesson can never come early enough.

“I would like everyone to know that God loves them and has a plan for their lives,” said Johns. “I feel this book could plant the seed, especially in young hearts, to see Jesus all around them.”

F. C. Vogt announces the release of ‘Four Legs and a Stretcher’


News Image

Over the years, F. C. Vogt has pursued truth and spirituality in numerous ways. This has lead him down various paths of learning and experience. He wanted to write about these in a way that might be helpful to fellow travelers on this journey. He wanted to leave whatever mark he could in the pursuit of spiritual formation, as it has been so important to him. Writing about them in the wide lens of faith gave him a broad context that would include all of what he considers as necessary components of a rich spiritual life.    

“Four Legs and a Stretcher: Constructing an Intentional Faith that Leads to Godliness” (published by Archway Publishing) is a metaphor about the intentional efforts one needs to make for developing an intimate and meaningful relationship with God, which Vogt considers to be the purpose of faith. A second metaphor woven through the chapters of the book describe growing in faith as a spiritual journey that can be purposefully and successfully navigated if one is properly equipped. Throughout the book, readers will find anecdotes and highlights from Vogt’s life that will make their journey of faith relevant and achievable.

“Faith is God’s method for bringing humanity into consecrated fellowship with Him. Relative to this, faith is, at its core, about the presence of God in our lives. Faith determines the degree to which our knowledge of God develops into a relationship with God. Faith measures how we respond to that, deepen our understanding of it, and change our lives because of it,” Vogt points out.

When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Vogt answers, “God wants every part of us, but especially our hearts. And a heart centered practice of building and growing in godly faith is what I hope to convey through the scriptures, some thoughts by other writers, some metaphors that have helped me, and some stories about the personal way God has been involved in drawing me to Him. I pray that the words on these pages will speak to your heart and have a helpful effect on your perspective and understanding of your faith journey.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/839761-four-legs-and-a-stretcher

Aaron Hunter EL’s newly released “Jesus’s Death on the Cross Was a Parable Like Every Other Parable (of a Surety, They Killed Him Not)” is an engaging legal discussion


News Image

“Jesus’s Death on the Cross Was a Parable Like Every Other Parable (of a Surety, They Killed Him Not)”: a helpful resource for students of both God’s word and the legal system. “Jesus’s Death on the Cross Was a Parable Like Every Other Parable (of a Surety, They Killed Him Not)” is the creation of published author Aaron Hunter EL, a Moorish-American citizen and native to the Americas, Illinois, who has written six books with only four published. He is the father of four daughters.

Hunter shares, “The Bible—being political, social, industrial, commercial, and legal—is a greatly misunderstood book because it is seldomly taught that all of these is what makes up religion—religion being a complete way of life!

“This book gives the legal understanding of the parables in the Bible as applied to today’s legal system in America. It also gives a present-day understanding of the biblical tribes and who they are in the present day with a legal understanding of the third degree of freemasonry and full insight on Moorish-American law.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Aaron Hunter EL’s new book brings an engaging and articulate discussion of law and God’s word to life.

Consumers can purchase “Jesus’s Death on the Cross Was a Parable Like Every Other Parable (of a Surety, They Killed Him Not)” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

The Promise of Victory” is an informative discussion of the books of prophecy within the Bible


News Image

“The Proclamation of the Prophets: The Promise of Victory”: a thoughtful and empowering opportunity for religious leaders and congregants alike. “The Proclamation of the Prophets: The Promise of Victory” is the creation of published author G. A. Williams, who grew up in San Diego. Williams began preaching in 1977 and became ordained in 1981. In 1983, he received his bachelor’s degree in religious studies from SDSU, and in 1989, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies from Linda Vista Baptist Bible College. Williams began serving as a pastor at Victory Baptist Church in 1992. In 1995, he received his MA in theological studies from Bethel Theological Seminary. Williams earned his first DMin (expository preaching) from Trinity Theological Seminary in 2007 and, in May of 2021, received a second DMin in Christian leadership from Southern California Seminary. He is married to Judy Williams, and together, they have four children and eleven grandchildren.

Williams shares, “This book is a series of sermons summarizing the books of prophecy in the Old Testament. I intend these sermons to be studied, preached, or used as Bible lessons or for simple reference.

“The books of prophecy express God’s heart for His people, the Jews, and He chose them to be the primary vehicle of His message to mankind, as the initial means of fulfilling God’s mission of redemption and His kingdom being established on earth. However, after repeated attempts to call His people back to that mission, God decided not to speak for four hundred years until John the Baptist showed up in Judea.

“The proclamation of the prophets is also a promise of victory for the people of God. The cry of God, in the words of Malachi, ‘Return to me and I will return to you,’ expresses God’s commitment and unrelenting love for His people. This proclamation is not based on replacement theology, which assumes that the church has replaced the Jews. But instead on God’s promise to restore His people.

“I hope you enjoy and are blessed with this work. Use it as a beginning point in your study and research. And in the end, may God be glorified and may you be enlightened.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, G. A. Williams’s new book brings encouragement and inspiration to the forefront in a celebration of God’s promise.

Williams shares in hopes of bringing glory to God and bringing God’s people back to His plan.

Consumers can purchase “The Proclamation of the Prophets: The Promise of Victory” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Jorge William de Castro Abdala’s newly released “Brazilians in a Promised Land” is an analytical discussion of how to cultivate a strong Brazilian Presbyterian ministry


News Image

“Brazilians in a Promised Land: Keys to Developing a Thriving Portuguese-speaking Presbyterian Ministry”: a helpful message of community and God’s grace. “Brazilians in a Promised Land: Keys to Developing a Thriving Portuguese-speaking Presbyterian Ministry” is the creation of published author Jorge William de Castro Abdala, a moderator for the national Portuguese Language Presbyterian Council (PLPC). He also serves as pastor of the Brazilian Presbyterian Church San Mateo and Latinos Unidos en Cristo, California. Abdala holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from San Francisco Theological Seminary. From 2002 to 2004, he served as the Latin American coordinator for the Knox Fellowship in the areas of evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development. Currently, he is a member of Global Fellowship Network and has traveled and ministered in over fifteen countries across North and South America and throughout Eastern and Western Europe. In May 2021, he was recognized as a distinguished alumni at the San Francisco Theological Seminary of University of Redlands. He and his wife, Andrea, live in San Francisco Bay Area, California, and he is the loving father of two young adults, Joshua and David.

Abdala shares, “There are an estimated of 1.3 million Brazilian immigrants living in the United States (approximately 460,000 Brazilian Americans as of mid-2019). The Brazilian population in the United States is relatively small, and the lack of knowledge of Brazilian immigrants and the tendency to stereotype based on the perception and assumption has had a negative impact on many Brazilian ministries.

“There are only thirteen Brazilian ministries within the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the total number of Brazilians’ membership within the PC(USA) is approximately seven hundred people. Some of these ministries have existed for over twenty years, but very little information has been given about their existence and experiences.

“Brazilian ministries that thrive most in the PC(USA)’s body cherish their own identity, understand what those essential factors and keys are, and embrace the challenges and opportunities in a cross-cultural experience. Every thriving Brazilian ministry is made of people who reflect the image of God in the migration context and plays a unique model to love outcast Brazilians living in this promised land.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jorge William de Castro Abdala’s new book is a scholarly exploration of community needs and limitations that hold back the development of effective ministry for Portuguese-speaking immigrants.

Abdala draws from his own experiences and study to present a helpful and nurturing message for spiritual leaders and congregants alike.

Consumers can purchase “Brazilians in a Promised Land: Keys to Developing a Thriving Portuguese-speaking Presbyterian Ministry” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
