The Making of My Testimony by Jesus Christ” is an engaging testament of faith


News Image

“Blessed from Having Cancer: The Making of My Testimony by Jesus Christ”: a moving and personal account of how God provides. “Blessed from Having Cancer: The Making of My Testimony by Jesus Christ” is the creation of published author William Thomas.

Thomas shares, “Blessed from Having Cancer: The Making of My Testimony by Jesus Christ is a book about my lifelong preparation for the test that I would have to go through with cancer. As you go through this trial with me, I pray that you will see yourself along the way and realize how the Lord has worked in your life to help you to be able to go through your trial. I know that many of the people, times, and situations will take you back, make you think about those times in your life when these people lived, and how the Lord used them to help you become the person that you are now or that you are on your way to be. This book is not all about my trial with cancer; it is also about the golden nuggets I learned that have made me look at life in a special way. The Lord taught me about myself in ways that I needed so that I could make the changes that were needed to live more holy. I believe this book will help you right now because I didn’t write the book, the Lord did. He brought back things from years past that I hadn’t remembered for some time. The book is really not about me; it is about Him, his love for me and for the world. He will provide what you need when you need it. The Lord is a true friend, father, mother, heart fixer, and mind regulator, in control of every situation, and I know He will never leave nor forsake. I know Him now in a much better way that every day is a joy with Him, and I’m looking forward to going home to be with him one day. My prayer for this book that it will bless those of you who know Jesus, and if you don’t, you will. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you this moment.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, William Thomas’s new book is a powerful example of how living in faith can bring a true richness to even the darkest moments of life.

Thomas shares in hopes of helping others welcome and nurture a strong relationship with a loving God.

S. Louise Nabours’s newly released “The Talking Donkey and The Babysitter” is an engaging children’s tale that explores a story from Numbers


News Image

“The Talking Donkey and The Babysitter”: a delightful opportunity to explore key scripture with young readers. “The Talking Donkey and The Babysitter” is the creation of published author S. Louise Nabours, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Her education includes a Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) degree from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas, a BA from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), and an AA from Johnson County Community College (JCCC) in KS. Nabours also attended law school for a year at Concord University in Los Angeles, California.

Nabours shares, “Usually when you see a donkey that can talk, it is either a cartoon character or a fictional story. However, this story is fictional and the talking donkey is real. The Bible has lots of true stories that appear to be fictional, but in their particular incident are real. Since God made the donkey, then he can also make the donkey talk anytime He wants to do so.

“The donkey is very loyal to Balaam and tries to keep him from being harmed by unseen dangers. When Balaam, out of frustration, gets angry with the donkey, he takes his anger out on the donkey. Then God allowed the donkey to talk to Balaam and explain to him that he was only watching out for his safety. The story about the donkey can be found in the Bible in the book of Numbers chapter 22.

“The talking donkey is very unusual but totally true.

“There are many stories of unbelievable incidents that appear to happen that defy our rules.

“Look for the next book about iron that floats. Iron is a heavy metal and can’t float in water.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, S. Louise Nabours’s new book is an imaginative and vibrant exploration of scripture.

Nabours is excited to present a captivating juvenile fiction that will aid parents and religious leaders in exploring chapter 22 of Numbers with the young souls in their charge.

Consumers can purchase “The Talking Donkey and The Babysitter” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Christine Tosti’s newly released “One Hundred Reasons I Choose Not to Use” is a spiritually based argument for living life without addiction


News Image

“One Hundred Reasons I Choose Not to Use”: a potent and faith-based discussion of addiction and God’s grace. “One Hundred Reasons I Choose Not to Use” is the creation of published author Christine Tosti, a loving mother of two and dedicated Christian who seeks to help others break the cycle of addiction.

Tosti shares, “One Hundred Reasons I Choose Not to Use was written to help others like herself who struggle day in and day out with addiction. She challenges her readers to rise above and be less self-centered and more Christ-centered. In this somewhat tragic intensely emotional story she explains how to put the past behind as you embrace a more blessed, abundant future. Do you have an addiction to drugs, sex, alcohol, coffee, or porn perhaps? This book may just help you as you step into your power, take authority, and control your situation.

“Whatever your circumstance is, you hold the keys to your success. The author doesn’t want you to be held back by limited beliefs like she had for so many years. For example: ‘I don’t have what it takes. I’m not worthy, who am I lying to? I don’t have the time, money, and knowledge!’ Instead unlock the doors you thought were once locked. Go down the paths that you thought were once blocked. Dream, believe, and achieve as you step into the next-level you. You’re entitled to more. We have unlimited abundance in life just waiting to be obtained. How far are you willing to go? What are you willing to leave behind? Share this book with others and don’t let it collect dust when you’re done.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Christine Tosti’s new book will inspire and challenge those who seek to break the bonds of addiction.

Tosti shares a encouraging arrangement of relevant scripture and personal reflection to empower the hopeful.

Will God Cancel Us?” is a thought-provoking sociopolitical commentary on faith


News Image

“Our Crumbling Foundation: Will God Cancel Us?”: a powerful argument for the importance of living by God’s word. “Our Crumbling Foundation: Will God Cancel Us?” is the creation of published author Mist Carter.

Carter shares, “If there is a time in our history when we need to apply this scripture verse to our lives, it is now. It is nearly impossible not to notice how the state of our nation is rapidly and dangerously evolving into a very scary place. Perhaps we saw hints of our values changing or our morals being ignored, yet we stood by and watched it happen as we went along in our busy lives. Well, look where turning a blind eye has taken us. Is it too late?

“Our Crumbling Foundation—Will God Cancel Us? is a wake-up call to courageously stand firm in our faith and ask God to give us the strength to take back our country. For the past several decades, we have chipped away at the firm foundation of this nation all because we have slowly but surely removed God from all aspects of who we are as a nation.

“Do we, as responsible citizens who love God and love our country, want to allow this deterioration to continue? Do we want to see our republic further transform into a socialist nation and completely remove God from every aspect?

“Our Crumbling Foundation—Will God Cancel Us? will hopefully provide you with a better understanding of how we have allowed this unwelcome metamorphosis to take place and what we must do to overcome the crumbling of our foundation. Be on guard. Be strong. Be courageous. And let God back in to our hearts and our nation.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Mist Carter’s new book will engage the mind and embolden the spirit.

Carter presents a series of reflections and relevant scripture in hopes of inspiring others to take a stand in honor of God’s plan for mankind.

Consumers can purchase“Our Crumbling Foundation: Will God Cancel Us?” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Chambers of His Imagery” is an inspiring exploration of how one can reconnect with God


News Image

“Upon the Throne: Chambers of His Imagery”: a powerful reminder of the importance of obeying God’s word. “Upon the Throne: Chambers of His Imagery” is the creation of published author Larry W. Walters Jr., a former certified minister with the Association of Jewish and Christian Believers and chaplain who taught prisoners and visiting prison ministers.

Walters Jr. shares, “Centuries have come and gone since the Genesis account, and as time has moved further from God, mankind has moved further away from the Creator. Humanism and traditions have replaced the precepts, laws, and statutes that were handed down so that we might meet the standard of holiness expected by this Creator. In the passage of time, the very nature of this Creator has been obscured and veiled to those who would seek this divine presence. This inability to know the One True God has led to perversions of scripture, exegesis, doctrinal contrivances, and biblical conundrums. Legalism resulted in disobedience rather than acceptance of divine law as a response to the grace of God. Finally, man is no longer held accountable for his actions; ‘The devil made me do it!’ is our defense.

“Upon the Throne: Chambers of his Imagery seeks to reconnect us back to the One True God, exposing the nature of God and Satan and uncovers the ancient path which leads to the One True God.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Larry W. Walters Jr.’s new book is an engaging exploration of God’s word and the dangers of turning from God’s laws.

Walters Jr. shares a personal series of reflections and compelling discussion of scripture in hopes of empowering others to accept God back into their lives. The author challenges the reader to reexamine current perspectives regarding the doctrines of God, the Holy Spirit and Satan, so that understanding becomes aligned with Holy Writ.

Consumers can purchase “Upon the Throne: Chambers of His Imagery” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Dave A. Lewis’s newly released “Born to Produce” is an inspiring resource for spiritual growth and cultivation of a life lived in purpose


News Image

“Born to Produce”: a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking a strong bond with Christ. “Born to Produce” is the creation of published author Dave A. Lewis, a second-generation minister who started pastoral ministry in the Island of Jamaica.

Lewis shares, “I am born to live, born to be fruitful, born to conquer, and born to win.

“Born to Produce is a soul-searching, stocktaking, and thought-provoking brochure. It challenges our width and capacity that set us on a journey to find our reason for being. Destiny calls for us to consult with our manufacturer in order to reveal his original intent for our sacred creation.

“We are so uniquely made with God-given talents and gifts printed in our DNA. The seed of greatness is planted in our hearts, ready to germinate and produce good fruit. Prayerfully, we seek to help facilitate your journey in becoming good stewards of the grace of God. We are blessed with talents and resources to fulfill our God-given assignments. Jesus, our nobleman, has dispensed to us his goods for us to do business on behalf of the kingdom of God.

“This brochure will guide us, step-by-step, in producing from the right vine. Right vine produces right living, and right living produces right fruit; fruit that is profitable to all. We also seek to expose the cunning deceptions of Satan, who comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Those who are deceived by him will produce bad fruit.

“Make no mistake: time is not on our side to linger and wait for some convenient season. We must maximize this moment and work diligently to trade with our God-given gifts and talents so as to give a good account of our stewardship. Born to Produce will stimulate your faith to stand on the authority of God’s word so that Christ may be formed in you.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dave A. Lewis’s new book will empower and encourage as readers reflect on this engaging guide.

Lewis shares in hopes of helping others to cultivate a God-guided life.

Author Presents a Modern and Simple Approach to Reading and Understanding the Most Read Book of All Time: The Bible


News Image

The Bible is widely considered to be the most profound collection of books in all of history and includes messages and stories that are still referenced today in the secular world. Many struggle to read the Bible to its entirety as they find it long, complicated, hard to read and not organized in chronological order. Author Peter J. Bylsma has spent years summarizing complex issues and putting them into lay terms. His debut book, “The Short Bible: A Chronological Summary of the Old and New Testaments,” offers an innovative and easy-to-understand guide to understanding the Bible.

In “The Short Bible,” Dr. Bylsma presents basic facts about the Bible and reviews its themes. He summarizes all the books of the Old and New Testaments in 25 easy-to-read chapters, capturing the epic stories, characters and main ideas. Structured like a modern book, it also includes historical and geographical facts to help clarify the context of the events. Readers can use the glossary, index, maps and further reading materials to enhance their understanding and study.

Dr. Bylsma provides a clear explanation of the Bible’s most important themes, and many of them relate to current world events and personal struggles. Social, economic and political issues as well as other topics such as discrimination, power, justice, truth, freedom and money are all part of current conversations around the world and are discussed throughout the Bible. Although written several thousands of years ago, the Bible’s overall messages relate to today’s world.

“People tend to get lost in the many stories and details when reading the Bible and they do not understand the main points and big picture,” said Dr. Bylsma. “These are critical because many things going on now were addressed in the Bible, and it’s really easy to see the connection when you read the book.”

Ultimately, those who are already familiar with the Bible, those who want to better understand the overall themes and those who want to know the fascinating stories and messages of the most read book of all time will find “The Short Bible” intriguing and helpful.

This is Mr. Erich’s journey as Higher G guided, led, and protected him throughout his life’s journey.

“Everyday God! This project presents in three parts. The first is ‘Everyday God,’ a lifelong journey and relationship with God. Secondly, ‘Thursdays with Mr. Hicks,’ his friendship and book project journey which continues every Thursday (‘The Letter’).
