(Evidence for God’s Existence)” is a thoughtful example of apologetic writing.


News Image

“Stand for God: ‘Will the Defendant Please Rise?’: (Evidence for God’s Existence)”: a potent read that argues for clear proof of God’s existence. “Stand for God: ‘Will the Defendant Please Rise?’: (Evidence for God’s Existence)” is the creation of published author, Richard Long.

Long shares, “As a Christian, have you ever been asked questions about your faith and were stumped without an answer? How can you prove that God exists without using the Bible as a reference? If you’re a non-Christian and in pursuit of knowing the truth, wouldn’t you like to know if there is proof of God’s existence? Stand for God is an introduction into Christian apologetics. Christian apologetics is where an apologist gives evidence for Christianity, defends God’s existence, and provides evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God. We tackle some of the world’s hardest questions, such as the following:

  • Where did the universe come from?
  • Where do humans come from?
  • How can we know Jesus was who He claimed to be?
  • Do miracles exist?
  • How old is the universe?
  • Does evil disprove God?
  • Why do bad things happen to good people?
  • Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
  • Does evolution disprove God?

“Paul the Apostle says,

“But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense (apologia) to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is within you: yet do it with gentleness and respect. (1 Peter 3:15)

“Apologetics is derived from apologia, which is Greek for ‘to give a defense.’ Are you ready to be able to defend your faith? God Exists. Prove Me Wrong.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Richard Long’s new book will challenge and encourage readers seeking a deeper understanding and confidence in standing up for the Christian faith.

Long draws from years of study and debate to present a compelling look into Christian theology.

Consumers can purchase“Stand for God: ‘Will the Defendant Please Rise?’: (Evidence for God’s Existence)” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

A Token of Love” is a moving and modern discussion of Ruth’s life and love


News Image

“The Gospel of Ruth: A Token of Love”: an enjoyable and informative discourse of scripture. “The Gospel of Ruth: A Token of Love” is the creation of published author Dr. Jean Daniel Francois, who emigrated to the United States where he holds a Bachelor of Science, a bachelor’s degree in theology, a master’s degree in pastoral studies (MAPS), and a master’s degree in economics (MA). He also studied medicine at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York, where he received his MD degree and went on to specialize in neurology at SUNY.

Dr. Francois shares, “The book of Ruth represents a beautiful biblical epic which meets all the conditions of a twenty-first-century best-seller. Anyone who takes the time to read it will be charmed by its literary merit. It considers extraordinary themes of tragedy, love, patriotism, passion, emotions, and conflicts. From a biblical standpoint, this book presents an ideal canvas for believers of all ages. It allows them to remember that the Most High controls the destiny of all those who ‘take refuge under the wings of the God of Israel.’ Any reader of the Bible will also be pleasantly surprised to discover this little-known jewel. Its precious pearls are hidden only in four chapters. It is surprisingly rich in its literary and simplistic style, its rhythm and fluidity. It reflects a certain time, its people, their customs, and their values. This book, while short and sweet, is a loaded one catering to almost everyone. The reader is invited to slowly peruse these chapters and revel in all the peasant charm of the world of the Near East world of antiquity.

“In this version, the author has taken the liberty to fill in details of the picture in order to portray the tapestry of the story in full technicolor. It is a contemporary perspective of an old story. We hope you find this tale novel refreshing as retold in mostly dialogue but still in line with the biblical text.

“Enjoy it!

“Happy reading!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Jean Daniel Francois’s new book will bring new perspective to the life of Ruth.

Dr. Francois’s passion for scriptural study is apparent within the pages of this vividly detailed narrative.

Consumers can purchase “The Gospel of Ruth: A Token of Love” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Embracing Torah” is a spiritual guide to understanding the word of God in the Torah


News Image

Robert Keck, an Army veteran and proud husband and father, has completed his new book “Grafted: Embracing Torah”: a faith based guide to understanding the Torah.

“The purpose of this book is to share a simple guide to what the Torah (“to guide or teach”) tells us about living life the way God wishes.

When I began to study my Hebrew roots (I do not believe I am a Jew, though I could be; the ten tribes of the house of Israel never returned from captivity and assimilated into the societies they were taken to. I’m happy to acknowledge that I may only be a “stranger that sojourneth among you” [Exodus 12:49]), I could not find a simple list of things that said, “Do this, eat that”, etc., so I wrote this one.

Jesus admonished the Pharisees for teaching traditions (Talmud) and obscuring the law (Torah) through their religious edicts and practices. God said that His Commandments are not difficult, but over the centuries, Jewish leaders have added to God’s statutes as a way of helping the Jewish people to avoid close proximity with sin. The intentions initially were good, but the practices became a religion unto themselves, and the Jews lost the message of God’s love in the endless procedures and rules proscribed by the Talmud.

Jesus kept the entire law, as did the apostles Paul, Peter, James, Stephen, et al. We err when we teach that Christianity is something new. Neither Jesus nor the apostles ever advocated anything new. They remained committed Hebrews all their days, and to teach otherwise is not only wrong but also calamitous to our Christian walk.”

Published by Page Publishing, Robert Keck’s spiritual tale inspires Christians to open their hearts and minds to embrace the way God intended their lives to be.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Grafted: Embracing Torah” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

On a Path That Pleases God” is an engaging narrative that offers guidance on how to live a godly life


News Image

“Feet and Toes: On a Path That Pleases God”: a thoughtful opportunity for reflection that encourages spiritual growth. “Feet and Toes: On a Path That Pleases God” is the creation of published author Jack Sorg, a dedicated husband and former president of International Christian Youth who served in Bangladesh and Brazil by providing medical care and training.

Sorg shares, “The author has served as a cross-cultural missionary around the world. He found that many believers and church fellowships wrestle with questions surrounding liberty issues and legalism. They have confusion over how holiness and love join together. They struggle to understand the true meanings of self-control, patience, and godliness in their relations with others. They are unsure with whom they should have spiritual fellowship and from whom they must separate.

“To solve the issues, many believers and churches create a list of dos and don’ts. That list too often reflects cultural bias, traditions, and preferences. What is lacking is a distinctly scriptural view that gives insight beyond such a list. This book is for those who seek the answer to ‘What does the scripture say?’

“Feet and Toes is a short but clear description of the biblical principles for the common issues that confront believers and their churches. Almost every sentence is documented by scripture. Only a third of the book is the author’s writing while the rest is printed out scriptural references. After laying the groundwork for a path that is pleasing to God, the book covers the steps to true maturity in the Gospel.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jack Sorg’s new book presents inspiring messages balanced with relevant scripture.

Sorg draws from his own personal journey and the individuals he’s met along the way to provide carefully detailed guidance based on God’s word.

Consumers can purchase “Feet and Toes: On a Path That Pleases God” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Lisa Pineo’s newly released “When the Rock Splits” is an engaging snapshot of the author’s key life experiences that have shaped a life of determined faith


News Image

“When the Rock Splits”: a potent reminder of the comfort one can find when trusting in God. “When the Rock Splits” is the creation of published author Lisa Pineo, a dedicated wife and mother who teaches ESL at her alma mater and provides an ESL bridge program for The Stony Brook School, Stony Brook, NY, through her business, Reid Education Center, LLC.

Pineo shares, “How did I get here, and how do I make it stop?

“If addiction is a coin, then the addict is heads, and the codependent is tails. Three marriages, three kids, four homes, and two dogs later, life is far from where it should be—the housewife of a successful, stable, godly man and the mother of four boys.

“Growing up in a conservative minister’s home, living by faith, and trying very hard shouldn’t drive you into the hands of a drug addict. Or should it?

“Maybe there truly is hope when your life keeps splitting apart.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Lisa Pineo’s new book will resonate with many as she shares a deeply personal story of growth and healing.

Pineo shares in hopes of bringing readers a message of comfort and the promise of a brighter tomorrow within the pages of this heartfelt memoir.

Consumers can purchase “When the Rock Splits” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

New Book Illustrates a Depiction of Heaven to Young Children


News Image

“I invite children and parents to reimagine heaven as a place that is not dream-like or boring,” Eng said, “but more real than this life and a place that will properly satisfy our longing for meaningful and mentally fulfilling work.”

In “What is Heaven Like?” author Richard R. Eng tells a story through the eyes of a six-year-old boy named Jesse, who is asking his dad questions about heaven. His father teaches him that heaven is not any less real than earth and will be eternally satisfying.

Eng had the idea to write a children’s book after he and his wife experienced a miscarriage. Through the grieving process, he realized all the conversations he would never be able to have with their unborn child. He wrote the book based on an imaginative conversation with his unborn son, who they planned to name Jesse, telling him what heaven would be like.

Throughout the book, Jesse’s dad tells him that heaven is much more than just avoiding the bad parts of life, but a completely blissful state. The colorful illustrations included in the story visually articulate the theme of the book to young children.

“I invite children and parents to reimagine heaven as a place that is not dream-like or boring,” Eng said, “but more real than this life and a place that will properly satisfy our longing for meaningful and mentally fulfilling work.”

“What is Heaven Like?”
