GREENWOOD, Ind. (PRWEB)
August 15, 2022

The Bible fills each page with stories but, like a gigantic puzzle, readers may never see the overall picture it displays without the work. When studying the Bible, readers may begin to see the picture assembled or, in other words, the puzzle pieces coming together to reflect an elegant image of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, author Wayne A. Andre wrote “The Picture in the Puzzle.” This work contains over 100 original diagrams and explanations that show the many ways the Bible can be understood as a single, consistent, and expanding story.

“I hope is that this new book and its holistic approach will help my readers have renewed excitement studying the word of God,” Andre said.

Andre urges his readers to reach, communicate, develop, and discuss how to understand the Bible and the Christian faith through his Bible study.

“I wish to see my Bible study increase the quality and quantity in the world and that my readers may follow their study as an exciting and rewarding experience,” Andre said.

BALLSTON LAKE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Dr. Yolanda Fleurantin, Ph.D, a proud family matriarch from Haiti who celebrated a successful career in psychology, has completed her new book “Words Don’t Hurt Me: They Make Me”: a gripping reflection of her life from trauma to success.

Fleurantin shares, “a traumatic childhood experience causes a failed relationship with my parents and most of my siblings. When those who were supposed to nurture you, provide for you, love you, guide you, take care of you, make you feel comfortable instead choose otherwise and disappoint you, the end results can lead to destruction, shame, low self-esteem and/or failure.

‘The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace’ (Exodus 14:14).

The power of choice and having dreams had kept me going, kept me alive. While it is common to find people fixated on their history, the past, or on what other people had done to them, or said about them, none of these will really help you move forward. The good news for me is that my life has taught me a lot. Although there were plenty of things I could not control—like my parents’ anger, the slapping, the beatings, the whooping, the pulling, the name-calling, the putting me down in front of others—I always find strength to remain in a standing position. I had always tried to choose what next best thing for me to do. I had also tried to heal those internal wounds by reading self-help books. By doing so, I had learned better ways to cope and deal with issues, learn to love, appreciate, respect, forgive, and deal with my siblings in a less emotional way. I also know that life will take the meaning that you give to it.

I sometimes feel cheated by my parents. I especially think that way because one of the things that children do is to teach their parents, challenge them, and expand their lives. An opportunity or a time in my life I had never lived or even experienced. It all seems like a story of unfinished sentences, of suppressed embraces, of almost belonging, of stammered affection.”

Published by Page Publishing, Dr. Yolanda Fleurantin, Ph.D’s captivating tale provides hope and guidance for those in similar situations to her own, that when they become parents themselves they can learn and grow from their own traumas to provide the life for their children that they had always wanted.

“In His Presence: A 365-Day Christian Devotional Book”: an inspiring arrangement of thoughtful reflections and relevant scripture. “In His Presence: A 365-Day Christian Devotional Book” is the creation of published author Veronica Lilly, who was born and raised in the Bible Belt South of Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee. She has served as a Sunday School teacher, worked in evangelism sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in both local and foreign mission work, and spent the past twenty years in the ministry of intercessory prayer.

Veronica shares, “Writing a 365-day Christian devotional book became a labor of love. I found myself looking forward to what God had to say through me about the chosen scripture for each day. I applied the scripture references after all the devotions were written. My mindset was ‘Prove it.’ I believe the Bible is God’s infallible Word. If God said it, it is true. I spent time talking with God about what to title this book. I started a list of potential titles. I would write one and ask, ‘Lord, is this the title?’ This went on for a few months. The list grew longer. I wanted a title that prepared the reader for a special encounter with God. In His Presence was that title. I knew it the moment it entered my mind. God was faithful. He provided the title for this book. You will find a prayer at the end of each daily devotion thanking, seeking, and reaching out to our Sovereign God.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Veronica Lilly’s new book will empower and encourage as readers make time for God in each day.

Veronica offers readers an enjoyable resource for daily reflection and prayer that will be helpful to both new and established believers.

Consumers can purchase “In His Presence: A 365-Day Christian Devotional Book” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

After seeing all the cyclical division in our nation, I felt compelled to help believers become bridge builders for Christ who were equipped to help close the cultural divide.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB)
August 15, 2022

Author Khori Smith shares a compelling view of the church’s role with healing the nation’s racial issues in Bridges Between US: A Pathway to Unity Through Faith, Empathy & Mutual Understanding ($20.49, paperback, 9781662855092; $31.49, hardcover, 9781662855108; $8.99, e-book, 9781662855115).

According to Smith, many believers hope for racial unity and reconciliation within the walls of the church, in the communities and throughout the world. He explains that people allow fear and misunderstanding to overwhelm and paralyze themselves, sending them running back to safe circles and camps. Acknowledging that the world is in desperate need of a re-frame, except as Smith points out, one without pointed fingers, political rhetoric or taking sides. He believes that now is the ideal time for all to cast aside ideologies and instead, take the side of Christ, to disarm, free, equip and unite all people.

In this book, Smith illustrates God’s unquestionable desire for unity as highlighted in Scripture and also points out some important U.S. and world historical events that shine a light on current culture. More importantly, Smith includes practical solutions and tools to facilitate personal growth and equip churches to move towards authentic unity. He aims to empower the Church to be an agent of positive change and healing to the cyclical, divisive racial issues plaguing the nation. This book is written for those who are open-minded and willing to intently listen to his thought-provoking view.

When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Smith said, “After seeing all the cyclical division in our nation, I felt compelled to help believers become bridge builders for Christ who were equipped to help close the cultural divide.”

Khori Smith is the Teaching Pastor at Grace Fellowship Church in Baltimore County, Maryland. He has the privilege of encouraging and inspiring thousands of people in their faith online and in-person weekly. In this role, he takes relevant, everyday topics and applies spiritual truths in a way that makes them palatable and relatable to the everyday person. Smith is also a Chaplain with the NFL Alumni, acting as a spiritual coach that works directly with retired NFL football players as they transition from the NFL to life after football. He encourages players in “one on one” formats and leads group sessions that inspire retired players to discover and maintain their purpose in life.

Smith received his master’s degree from Howard University in Washington, D.C. His life’s mission is to build bridges between all people, all colors, all cultures and all communities. His greatest desire is to see people walk in oneness and unity, rooted in authentic relationships. Smith also has extensive experience working as a waiter in the hospitality industry and thus is a sought-after amateur foodie and dessert connoisseur. He lives with his supportive wife and two brilliant sons in Timonium, Maryland.

Editor of Smith’s book, Michele Reber, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Video Production from Pennsylvania State University and an MBA from Johns Hopkins University. She is the Managing Director of Operations at Omega Healthcare Investors, where she performs copy and content editing. Outside of her job, Reber supports family and friends who are brave enough to attempt something so ambitious as publishing a book.

“Not So Forbidden”: an engaging look into the permissibility and acceptance of same-sex partners for women. “Not So Forbidden” is the creation of published author Gerrit Coetzee.

Coetzee shares, “Not so forbidden.

“What is this hype all about?

“It is about lesbianism not being a sin.”

“It is a bold statement, very bold, and would not be made without proper and thorough counsel.

“It sets out to educate that the prevailing interpretation of Romans 1 in the Bible is incorrect. It is not, never was about inter-female relations, and it is proven within, why it cannot be about the damnation of lesbians.

“The script is set to alter historical believes, setting aside fraudulent teachings. It is tough to get the message across, when there are men and women who blindly refuse to accept an opposing reality.

“Shamingly, ordinary people resist the evidence, but the truth will burst through.

“One woman replied, ‘Gerrit, I am not an atheist, but I did lose faith in Christianity because of this issue. I will study your views, and if you are right, I will return to Christ.’

“Well, time will tell if one soul was won.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Gerrit Coetzee’s new book is a challenge to common beliefs related to what God has said about women sharing committed relationships with other women.

Coetzee shares an engaging argument within the pages of this articulate and carefully researched work.

Consumers can purchase “Not So Forbidden” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Paul Wesay, a faith leader, pastor, life coach, and a successful Realtor living in the United States in Atlanta, Georgia, has completed his new book “Building a Better Liberia If I Am President”: a gripping and potent work that discusses the current state of Liberia, providing goals and solutions for moving forward in a positive direction.

Author Paul Wesay discusses his work, writing, “Liberians living both at home and in the diaspora know that our country is headed in the wrong direction. From one failed leadership to another poor governance, the hopes of the people have been dashed or dismissed from one election cycle to the next. Politicians use false promises as a means to ascend to power, knowing they have selfish aims and ambitions to enrich themselves and their friends and families at the detriment of the poor Liberian people. The question now is, who can we trust? After 173 plus years, our country has not been able to make the transition from an agrarian society to a modern society where we have quality education that is accredited, a quality health-care system that is affordable and accessible, a country free from corruption, a country free from poverty, a quality road connectivity, safe drinking water, electricity, a justice system that has respect for the rule of law, a president who is more focused on development and modernization, and has respect for human lives.”

He continues, “our leaders of the past and most recent have been bankrupt in their thinking, and what we need now is a visionary and an energetic president backed by a group of leaders who believe in building a better Liberia than what our generation has inherited. When we do that, future generations will look back on us and say about us that this was the generation that rose up to the occasion and finally solved Liberia’s challenges. This is the time to restore democracy and integrity to the Liberian presidency.”

Published by Page Publishing, Paul Wesay’s engaging work invites readers to consider the implications of the 2023 presidential election.

Readers who wish to experience this informative work can purchase “Building a Better Liberia If I Am President” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
