“Over the River and through the Fire: Journeying to Overcome the Roadblock Called Self”: a potent account of heartbreak and rebirth. “Over the River and through the Fire: Journeying to Overcome the Roadblock Called Self” is the creation of published author Sherry Lewton, a graduate of Asbury University, a loving mother of two sons, and a dedicated grandmother to four.

Lewton shares, “Heartache and brokenness are universal. When our lives are thrown into the fire, it will either make us or break us. In her memoir, author Sherry Lewton recounts events from her past that ignited her own fires, throwing her life into a blaze of secrecy, shame, despair, and devastation. Throughout those tumultuous years of painful experiences, roadblocks springing up to hinder recovery are labeled and defined. Of all the roadblocks, she acknowledges that it was her own self that was often the greatest obstacle preventing recovery. But Sherry unashamedly proclaims how choosing to focus on God alone as the only answer, and the only one who could heal her broken heart, led her to find her way to the path that could lead her out of the fire and into triumphant living.

“With no desire for platitudes, pat answers, or shaming techniques to infiltrate her message, she seeks to tenderly offer hope to her readers through an unwavering and passionate desire to inspire those who find themselves engulfed in fiery trials to let go of selfish motives and desires. In doing so, roadblocks that hinder recovery are removed, and we can then gain freedom to reach out our hearts and hands to a broken and hurting world. No other way will satisfy.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Sherry Lewton’s new book will tug at the heartstrings as Lewton reflects upon the deeply challenging journey that led to triumph through Christ.

Lewton shares a collection of reflections and relevant scripture that capture the true experiences, both heartbreaking and exhilarating, of her personal and spiritual journey.

Consumers can purchase “Over the River and through the Fire: Journeying to Overcome the Roadblock Called Self” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, Books-A-Million, or Barnes and Noble.

[ad_1]

I felt strongly led by God since 2017 to write my story because it was going to be one of the ways I share my testimony. No matter how broken you may feel, there is still a way to pick up the broken pieces and color.

Readers will follow this journey from her homeland of Jamaica to New York City, where her struggles continued, and she faced betrayal, disillusionment and illness. Blair persevered while empowering herself by working full time and attending night school. She shares her conviction with readers, a belief that she was “CHOSEN” for a great purpose and that the struggles were just hurdles to overcome. As this intriguing story climaxes, Blair’s faithfulness pays off as God sends her the love of her life who, along with her children, church and family, supported her on this extraordinary journey of life.

When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Blair said, “I felt strongly led by God since 2017 to write my story because it was going to be one of the ways I share my testimony. No matter how broken you may feel, there is still a way to pick up the broken pieces and color.”

She immigrated to America and while there were many disappointments, challenges and struggles, she was confident that God was with her. In 1995, she married the love of her life whose love is a tower of strength for her. Blair holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and a master’s degree in Business Administration and Human Resources Management. She attended post graduate studies at the Manhattan Bible Institute. Blair is a licensed Ordained Minister of the Gospel by the Church of God, a licensed and trained International Chaplain.

New Book Proclaims How to Fix Human Problems (Political, Personal, Economic, Social, or Spiritual) Permanently

[ad_1]

“Think of how much better the world would become if people did not rob others, injure others, murder others, or oppress others. If you want the world to be a better place, give love, don’t just receive it only”.

Ever wonder how to fix human problems permanently? To overcome wars, atrocities, hunger, diseases, deaths, sorrows, and other troubles? The solution is the central topic of a new book titled: “Love to Live Forever: Fixing Human Problems Permanently God’s Way”.

The book takes a practical view, with lively illustrations, of how by loving (helping not hurting) people, we can put into practice a divine solution. To overcome our troubles, God wants us to love our neighbors. It is that simple. But not easy, given our “desperately wicked” hearts (see Jeremiah 17:9 in the Holy Bible for this critical diagnosis of the human condition by our Maker). God therefore provides help by putting the Holy Spirit in our hearts to empower, enhance us (see 2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 5:5, and 2 Corinthians 1:21-22).

Believers are also empowered to benefit from a needed spiritual transformation (becoming ‘born again’) enabling access to the kingdom of heaven (see John 3:1-8). Access to God’s kingdom is crucial. It would be the only realm left standing when this world is destroyed and all governments end, and a New Age of world peace emerges.

Providing access into the kingdom of heaven, indeed, God’s ultimate solution for human problems is underscored by love. Specifically, it’s “faith working through love” (see Galatians 5:6, NKJV). That is, having faith in God underscored by a change in how we treat people for the better. It requires an attitude adjustment, and behavior modification in how we conduct our affairs personally, professionally, socially, financially, spiritually, politically, or ideologically.

It requires a renewed mindset with practical action steps focused on helping people. It calls for a mindset that is radically different from the greed-driven, self-centered philosophy that drives much of human conduct today. No wonder we are in such deep troubles, guaranteed to grow worse as disaster looms!

“Think of how much better the world would become if people did not rob others, injure others, murder others, or oppress others,” writes author Fred Igbeare, a former journalist. “If you want the world to be a better place, give love, don’t just receive it only”.

Copies of the book in paperback and eBook (published by TBN’s Trilogy) are available now at you local bookstores. Get your copies online also at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, and other outlets. Note that an audio book release is planned, as well as translations into other languages.

“Our life’s adventures take us on a journey that cycles through different stages multiple times. Each time, we face similar challenges, but at ever deepening levels. This book serves as a guide, freshly appropriate each cycle.”

What does God have to do with one’s career path? Author Bob Black answers that question in his new book, “Mobilize Your Mission.”

“I consider this book a reference to keep at your bedside because there is something in it for every stage of your life adventure,” said Black. “Our life’s adventures take us on a journey that cycles through different stages multiple times. Each time, we face similar challenges, but at ever deepening levels. This book serves as a guide, freshly appropriate each cycle.”
