News Image

“The Necessity and Sufficiency of Grace”: a potent reminder of God’s readiness to bring comfort to those in need. “The Necessity and Sufficiency of Grace” is the creation of published author Ralph R. Roberts, PhD, who was born in London, England, and educated in Jamaica to the level of Doctor of Philosophy in chemistry. He is now enjoying his thirtieth year working in corporate America. Dr. Roberts spends his spare time in wildlife photography and enjoys fishing. He and his wife, Marcia, have been married for thirty-two years and are active members of their local church organization.

Dr. Roberts shares, “To the one whose heart has been freshly stirred

“The power of the word of God concerning His grace has arrested your attention, and you sense conviction. Abundant grace is available to support your impending journey on the path of newness of life. If you dare to take this journey, you will discover who you are and why you were created. Not one of us is an accident. The God that created you is aware of you and your potential and wants to shape you and to reveal your full created intent. This can only happen when you are submissive and accepting of His grace. You will learn the true process of accepting His grace and how to live accordingly in His grace. You will be brought to an understanding of the insufficiency of man and the sufficiency of God, who equips you for success. You will discover God’s reward system of eternal life in His presence over the background noise of humanistic beliefs of reward systems based on social standing or political and economic prowess. As you grow in His presence, you will learn how He has furnished you to magnify the kingdom that you now serve. Happy will be your journeying in the grace of God.

“To the one seasoned in grace

“Herein lie words of confirmation of the power of accepted grace. The reader is encouraged to check and balance the status of his own journey against that of God’s word. Stephen the Martyr is exemplified as the epitome of accepted grace. The reader is made aware of unforeseen pitfalls that might be slowing his or her own progress in accepted grace. Living in grace and reciprocating grace to all are encouraged.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Ralph R. Roberts, PhD’s new book will challenge and encourage readers to reflect upon God’s promise to all.

Dr. Roberts shares in hopes of empowering and encouraging believers both new and established to nurture a strong connection with their spiritual journey.

Consumers can purchase “The Necessity and Sufficiency of Grace” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Patricia Doctor-Lott’s newly released “Holy Ghost Power” is an articulate look at the Apostle John and the days leading up to Christ’s resurrection.


News Image

“Holy Ghost Power: The Third Person of the Trinity”: a fascinating account that brings a new awareness to days of Jesus. “Holy Ghost Power: The Third Person of the Trinity” is the creation of published author Patricia Doctor-Lott, a native of Lackawanna, New York, and a life-long member of the Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church in Lackawanna. Doctor-Lott has served as a Sunday school teacher for more than twenty-five years and superintendent of Mt. Olive Sunday School for fourteen years.

Doctor-Lott shares, “Understanding what the Holy Spirit does in one’s life is compelling. Having the gift of the Holy Spirit marks one as belonging to the Most High. The Holy Spirit is Christ living within us, thus, giving us power to live transformed holy and righteous lives. Eyes have not seen, and ears have not heard the things the Church can do if they’d use the Holy Ghost’s power collectively.

“Apostle John shares a riveting story of events leading up to coming of the Holy Spirit and his dynamic and powerful entrance into the hearts of those who believed. The apostle tells how it was the plan of God to manifest Christ in believers through the power of his resurrection.

“John traces the power and moving of the Holy Spirit in his own life, how he was born in sin and, thus, subjected to its power and that he needed a greater power to release him from the prison of sin.

“He leads us to the Roman Empire who dared to say that they are all powerful with reigning authority over all land and humanity with its deified Caesars serving as gods. The display of God’s sovereignty proved that the Holy Ghost’s power supersedes the false power of Rome and its Caesars.

“The footsteps of Jesus rumbles across the pages as John reminds his audience of Jesus’s departure as comforter and how another Comforter would come and continue the work of salvation.

“So profound is this plan of eternal salvation, the saints awesome inspired testimonies poured from their hearts with such warmth and gladness.

“Apostle John journeys to Pentecost to speak of the great advent of the Holy Ghost as promised by Jesus. Cloven tongues like fire entered an Upper Room and sealed all the believers with the presence of Jesus in the form of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit’s power was demonstrated in such a way that it left no doubt that this he that is, was, and who was to come. The Power did not tarry in his coming and his presence forever.

“He deals with the Holy Ghost’s working in the lives of the chosen and within the body of Christ with such force and power.

“Finally John reminisces on the attributes of the person of the Spirit and how he is one with the Father and the Son.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Patricia Doctor-Lott’s new book will captivate readers from the start as she explores the world of Christ’s time.

Doctor-Lott’s carefully researched and engaging narrative is certain to stir up readers’ faith as they immerse themselves in the lives of key biblical figures.

Consumers can purchase “Holy Ghost Power: The Third Person of the Trinity” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Education Made Easy” shares a thoughtful discussion of the challenges students face


News Image

“The Surest Way to Academic Success: Education Made Easy”: an encouraging message for students of any age. “The Surest Way to Academic Success: Education Made Easy” is the creation of published author Joseph A. Ante, a dedicated husband and father who is an internationally known evangelist and a highly sought-out speaker. He is the founder and worldwide president of Nation Builders Gospel Network—a US-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Ante shares, “Every student—adult or young—is expected to excel academically, which is one of the primary purposes of the overall education programs. Students who have failed or performed poorly at one time or the other usually lamented over their condition. In the process, so many of them attributed their failures or poor performances to many factors such as lack of financial support, genetic inheritance, parental educational background, and many other factors. On the contrary, students’ motive toward their academic performance is fundamental—their attitude and mindset toward success.

“Like every other endeavor, education requires discipline, goal setting, a determination to succeed, and, most importantly, a positive attitude. Wealth does not buy real knowledge; it only optimizes knowledge acquisition. That is what I had in mind when I divided this book into two sections. Section 1 discusses poor students’ motives (the problems), while section 2 discusses positive academic attitudes that will lead to success (the solutions). This book is written solely on personal experiences with quotations to illustrate and expose the readers to intellectual realities.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Joseph A. Ante’s new book presents a real-world view of the components that go into cultivating an environment that encourages and promotes academic success.

Ante shares a heartfelt message that illustrates the complexities of the educational experience.

Consumers can purchase “The Surest Way to Academic Success: Education Made Easy” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Bill Glenn’s newly released “Finding God” is an informational work that examines the concept of faith


News Image

“Finding God”: a thoughtful resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of God. “Finding God” is the creation of published author Bill Glenn, a loving father and grandfather who has a Master of Business Administration degree, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications, and Associate of Science degrees in Communications and Electronic Engineering Technology.

Glenn shares, “Ideas matter.

“What you believe affects everything you do. It influences how you think and talk, what you value and want, who you view as a role model, where you spend your time, how you treat others. It determines who you become in life….and where you live after death.

“I was raised by a Christian mother and regularly attended worship services as a child. I was baptized when I was 10. But during my secular college experience, I was confronted with ideas that challenged my religious beliefs. Some of my intelligent and educated professors said materialistic chance had displaced God as the creator of all things.

“My mom loved me and I didn’t think she would intentionally lie to me, but she had never even been to college! As much as I loved her, nobody wants to be duped. I wanted and needed to know the truth. So I spent some agonizing years weighing the evidence concerning God and Christianity, until finally a number of simple but far-reaching revelations became obvious to me.

“I eventually arrived at the unwavering conclusion that those accomplished but misguided professors were simply wrong. And I came to recognize evolution as a pseudoscience, long on bluster but short on facts.

“Finding God begins by giving you a solid foundation for belief in an amazing, loving, eternal God. (And you don’t have to take my word for it. Some of the world’s greatest minds, past and present, provide strong support for that belief.) Then it adds several firm principles to strengthen your faith.

“Whether you look far out into the cosmos or peer deep inside the cell, God is there. Read…and believe!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bill Glenn’s new book will captivate the spirit as readers reflect on the powerful message within.

Glenn shares in hopes of helping others along the way to finding and developing a connection with their faith.

Consumers can purchase “Finding God” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Douglas George’s newly released “God’s Love” is a heartfelt collection of spiritual songs written to inspire and encourage


News Image

“God’s Love”: a delightful collection of empowering songs. “God’s Love” is the creation of published author Douglas George, a dedicated family man who seeks to encourage others in their faith.

George shares, “We as Christians must consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of God’s family and to have God’s love.

“Love is essential to the nature of God. Those who have become partakers of the new nature are the people of God. They alone increasingly reflect the Holy and loving character of God and love others. The transformed hearts of Christians respond to the call of God to love one another.

“Christians understand that the loving of God involves the guiding rod and staff by the chief shepherd, Jesus.

“Only those who are truly Christ like will be held until the end, for they have true faith in him. Times of doubt may come, and the storms of life may assail them; but if we belong to Christ, we are held by him and will belong to him always. Such biblical truth should cause Christians to draw near humbly to the throne of God to know and grow in the love of God.

“God’s love serves as a constant reminder that God is always watching, ready to help you in any way you need or even just want. God’s love ranges from his fierce protection of these followers to the promise that his love will never falter no matter what.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Douglas George’s new book is an excellent resource for music directors and music ministry leaders.

George shares in hopes of spreading awareness of God’s love and providing a welcoming message to those looking to deepen their faith.

Consumers can purchase “God’s Love” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Bethel School of Technology Expands into the High School Market


High school students who aspire to learn fundamental computer coding skills can now enroll in Bethel School of Technology’s new online high school elective program, Coding & Christian Leadership. The program consists of two 16-week courses (one per semester) and equips students with a strong foundation in software development and web design that will prepare them for any career they pursue – whether it be in technology or another field.

In addition to learning in-demand and immediately applicable tech skills, like building and hosting a website from scratch, students will also learn what it looks like to display high character skills in the workplace. Character skills such as empathy, healthy communication, and trustworthiness are some of the same character skills that companies are investing millions of dollars to improve their workplace cultures.

“All work in the future will have a tech component, and knowing the principles of coding will be essential for every employee,” stated Ryan Collins, CEO of Bethel School of Technology. “We believe now is the time to meet the growing demand of high schoolers and recent high school graduates looking for accelerated learning programs that lead to high-paying, high-growth careers for the fraction of the time and cost of a four-year degree.”

As part of Bethel Tech’s new high school initiative, the school will also start accepting qualified high school students into its nine-month online Full Stack Software Development bootcamp. Historically, Bethel Tech’s full stack program has yielded an 80 percent job hire rate and 65 percent salary increase for graduates.

High school students who take the Coding & Christian Leadership electives and wish to continue into the full-stack software development program will start in the program’s third module, saving time and money in the bootcamp.

The first Coding & Christian Leadership cohort begins September 12, 2022 and requires 3 hours of live instruction per week (with an additional 3-4 hours of homework). The program is instructor-led and mentor-supported, and transfers as 4 college credits.

About Bethel School of Technology:

Bethel School of Technology is an online Christian faith-based, nine-month technology bootcamp that specializes in the high-demand areas of Software Development, Data Science, UI/UX Design, and Cybersecurity. Since its launch in 2018, Bethel School of Technology has received multiple industry awards and has been recognized by Newsweek Magazine as one of the “Top Online Coding Schools in the US.” It has also been included in University Research and Review’s “Best Value College Alternative” list, among a group of only 15 organizations in the country.

Graduates have been hired by leading companies such as IBM, Dell, Infosys, Grubhub, Ramsey Solutions, Disney, and Seattle Children’s Hospital. Additionally, Bethel Tech’s programs transfer as 27 college credits into William Jessup University.

A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life” is an encouraging message for when times get tough


News Image

“How I Got Over: A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life”: an engaging opportunity for reflection and growth. “How I Got Over: A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life” is the creation of published author Patricia Jones Byrd, a dedicated wife and proud mother of an adult daughter. Byrd’s career has included roles as teacher, principal, national educational consultant, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, school superintendent, and conference speaker. Byrd has also been inducted into the Prestigious Marquis Who’s Who Biographical Registry.

Byrd shares, “The Bible clearly does not pull any punches when it comes to the troubles of this world that will regularly test our faith and challenge our resolve to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Job 14:14 assures us that if we are born of woman, it is in our best interest to maximize each moment of our lives and soldier up, because we will most assuredly wrestle against the principalities and powers that seek to wreak havoc on every aspect of our lives.

“How I Got Over: A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life is a realistic depiction of some of the most overwhelming challenges that I have confronted in various seasons of my life. It addresses times in my life when I was used, misused, and forsaken by people closest to my heart. It tells of times when I made reckless personal sacrifices to add value to the productivity, profitability, and innovation of companies – only to have those companies usher me out of the building, under the guise of reduction in force or some other euphemistic rationale that would make them feel better about themselves and keep their companies out of court. As you continue to turn the pages, you will hear of times when religion and morally objectionable conduct severely undermined my marital relationship. This short story devotional also speaks to unrelenting thorns in my flesh and fears of living lonely and of dying alone.

“Trust me when I tell you, ‘Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair!’ I’ve been in some storms that almost took me out and under. And I am confident that I am not the only one out here being battered about by great afflictions. The seemingly unrelenting circumstances of life will invariably test the wit, will, and resolve of us all. Tests and trials are inevitable, folks. No one (regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or zip code) exits this world without battle scars. No one! So what’s a soul to do?

“When life is coming at you with a vengeance, resist the urge to give up or give in to its fury. Instead, lift your eyes unto the hills, cry out to the heavens, and trust God to come to your rescue. Trust him to bring you out and over, because he most assuredly will!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Patricia Jones Byrd’s new book will resonate with many as they consider the carefully selected moments that have shaped the author’s faith.

Pairing personal reflection with an opportunity for prayer, Byrd’s encouraging message is a welcome addition to the devotional genre.

Consumers can purchase “How I Got Over: A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

For additional information or inquiries about “How I Got Over: A Short Story Devotional for the Difficult Days of Life,” contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.
