“Our Final Hope”: a thoughtful historical romance. “Our Final Hope” is the creation of published author Joy Coats, a dedicated wife and mother who has been a schoolteacher for eighteen years, fifteen of which were in a Christian school in the Wilmington area. After receiving a master’s in special ed, she was the school’s resource director and teacher for children with learning differences for five of those years. She currently spends her time tutoring students one-on-one with special needs.
Coats shares, “A moment in time when all of creation stood still and welcomed the birth of its Creator, stepping out of heaven and into the hearts and lives of the very created…
“Mary, a young girl, and Joseph, a carpenter, could not have imagined the journey on which they would travel after saying yes to the God of their fathers when He asked them to believe by faith all that He would reveal to them. A journey that would call them to an unyielding and firm determination to be part of the answer to a world’s desperate need, the Messiah—Immanuel, God with us. How could the God of creation reach down into their simple lives and bless them with the final hope of a dying and lost world? Can they believe Him for it?
“In a time when unmarried girls could be stoned for being pregnant before marriage, Mary must forge ahead with complete trust in her heavenly Father for protection and wisdom. Joseph must make a choice to believe all that his betrothed has just told him. Is it possible—the Messiah…in his home? Shepherds and wise men begin the ultimate pilgrimage that will forever change their lives and stories. A jealous king will seek to squash out his existence—He who will be our final and only hope.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Joy Coats’s new book will captivate the imagination as readers journey with key biblical figures to experience the birth of Christ.
Coats paints a vivid picture within the pages of this heartfelt celebration of those who were tasked with delivering the Christ child.
Consumers can purchase “Our Final Hope” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Changing the healthcare system requires, first, a mindset change that the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valuable and worth saving. The mindset change starts with education.
CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)
December 12, 2022
“How long must we be fighting for our right to living” sings musical artist Gaelynn Lea from her wheelchair at the launch of the Global Report on Health Equity of Persons with Disabilities. This sentiment has been echoed for many years in the disability world.
The WHO Global Report on Health Equity for Persons With Disabilities (1) highlights new numbers of an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide with disabilities translating to roughly 1 in 6 people experiencing a significant disability. This includes people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), estimated to encompass 10-15 million people in the United States.
This report is the third significant event in 2022, highlighting the dire need to improve the competency of health systems to deliver equitable healthcare for people with disabilities. The United States National Council on Disability released its Health Equity Framework for People with Disabilities (2) in February. In June, the Joint Commission released Sentinel Event Alert Number 65 (3), warning of the dangers of diagnostic overshadowing leading to misdiagnosis in people with disabilities.
The WHO report emphasizes that these health inequalities are not due to a person’s underlying health condition. They are due to avoidable health-related factors, including physical barriers, stigma, social determinants of health, and lack of education by clinicians to provide competent healthcare to people with IDD.
The document presents 40 actions focusing on improving the primary care healthcare approach to facilitate health equity for people with disabilities. One of the significant areas highlighted is the need to educate clinicians to improve clinical competency and remove attitudinal barriers that contribute to health disparities.
IntellectAbility, a company founded on improving health for people with IDD, has been taking action to reduce health disparities and inequities for years through its tools designed to identify often-missed health conditions and to educate all levels of supporters, including physicians, to foster greater competency and remove attitudinal barriers to health equity for people with IDD.
“Changing the healthcare system requires, first, a mindset change that the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valuable and worth saving. The mindset change starts with education. We must educate healthcare and medical education leadership on the dire need to train providers to deliver equitable care for every human competently,” states Dr. Craig Escudé, a physician and president of IntellectAbility. “Dying up to 20 years earlier than those without disabilities from preventable causes can no longer be tolerated.”
According to the WHO, this 300-page report bolsters the missions of advocates, agencies, and organizations to make significant changes toward health equity for all. It provides direct, actionable steps that health systems and education entities should implement.
Escudé states, “The report provides a path to eliminating health inequities for people with disabilities. We can no longer say we don’t know what to do; we just have to do it.”
About IntellectAbility
IntellectAbility provides tools and training to agencies, governmental entities, and supporters of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to foster early recognition and mitigation of health risks, thereby improving health and wellness. One such tool is the Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST), of which they are the sole developer, producer, and distributor. The web-based HRST is the most widely used and validated health risk screening instrument for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. IntellectAbility also provides numerous health-related and person-centered service training for supporters of people with IDD. With an unrelenting focus, IntellectAbility works to fulfill its mission of improving health and quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other at-risk populations.

“Thomas Jefferson’s ‘Wee Little Book’ Purified by Fire”: a thought-provoking study of key scripture. “Thomas Jefferson’s ‘Wee Little Book’ Purified by Fire” is the creation of published author Harry Swanson, a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who had worked in finance and administration for forty-five years and is now retired. He holds a baccalaureate degree in accounting and a master’s degree in business and finance. Swanson worked under such titles as controller, director of finance and administration, CFO, and financial management consultant for both large and small, profit and nonprofit companies located throughout Long Island and New York City.
Swanson shares, “Thomas Jefferson lived a very successful, accomplished life and was one of the most intelligent of the Founding Fathers. He is probably most remembered as the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson served as the governor of Virginia, congressman, the first secretary of state under George Washington, vice president under John Adams, and president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. He was also a diplomat, lawyer, architect and could speak several languages.
“As president, he signed the congressional Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves and was a big advocate for religious freedom. Thomas Jefferson thought highly of the Bible and made frequent use of its references and passages. He was a Bible enthusiast and often gave Bibles as gifts to family members.
“Jefferson’s greatest gift may not have been his work on the Declaration of Independence but one that he called his ‘wee little book.’
“He took on a project to collect the best and most concise moral teachings known. After a lengthy search, he found them in Jesus’s teaching as recorded in the Gospels, which Jefferson believed were the most sublime and benevolent code of morals ever offered to man.
“Finally, after several years of planning, in 1820 and at age seventy-seven, he finished construction of his book by cutting excerpts from the Gospels of the New Testament and arranging them in chronological and topical order covering the story of Jesus’s life, parables, and moral teaching. The work did include miracles and the supernatural such as heaven, hell, angels, devil, eternal life, and more. Jefferson’s purpose was to clarify Jesus’s major teachings into one short collection for his own nightly study.
“If there’s anything the world needs today, it’s the fulfillment of the Great Commission—to go and tell all the world about the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, including his life, teachings, sufferings, crucifixion, and resurrection.
“Jefferson’s work was a priceless nightly study then and a priceless nightly study now.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Harry Swanson’s new book brings a fresh opportunity for considering the teachings of Christ.
Swanson’s study of Jefferson’s biblical ruminations makes for an engaging and spiritually encouraging reading experience.
Consumers can purchase “Thomas Jefferson’s ‘Wee Little Book’ Purified by Fire” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

“Walk a Mile with Me”: an engaging exploration of faith, choice, and family connection. “Walk a Mile with Me” is the creation of published author Tia Austin.
Austin shares, “When Jesse is born, his older brother Cal is six years old. From the very beginning, Cal knows that he will be a good brother to Jesse, that he will look out for him.
“Cal also hopes that maybe having Jesse around will keep his parents from arguing—loudly—so often. But things don’t change for the better, and Cal’s feelings of needing to be there for Jesse to look after him grow stronger. This is especially true when they are left alone in the apartment, their mother expecting Cal, age 9, to look after Jesse, who is only three years old.
“But Cal is determined to be the good brother he was told he would be when Jesse was born. Cal tries to do his best all through Jesse’s growing up years. When Cal becomes a Christian as a teenager, he tries his best to share his faith with Jesse, but he wants nothing to do with it.
“The boys’ lives begin to go in separate directions as they deal with their feelings of emotional pain and abuse. Cal chooses a healthy life while Jesse follows a path that leads him farther and farther downhill—and farther emotionally from Cal, who he had looked up to his entire life.
“Where will the separate paths lead Cal and Jesse? Walk with them as they travel the roads they have chosen to walk.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Tia Austin’s new book is an enjoyable fiction with all-too-real circumstances and a cast of affable, hopeful characters.
Austin shares a heartfelt look into the brotherly bond and the redemptive power of God.
Consumers can purchase “Walk a Mile with Me” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

“One Christian’s Journey through Racism to Financial Security”: a helpful resource for those seeking to develop a better sense of money management skills. “One Christian’s Journey through Racism to Financial Security” is the creation of published author Earl C. Johnson, who was in the workforce for a total of forty-seven years (twenty-six years active-duty US Air Force and twenty-one years Air Force Civil Service). His formal education includes an Associate in Applied Science in Electronic Systems from Community College of the Air Force, a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Systems from Southern Illinois University, and a Master of Business Administration from Embry-Riddle University. Johnson has four adult children from a previous marriage, one of which went home to be with the Lord
Johnson shares, “In this book, I share with you a little about myself. How I grew up and my meager beginning while being raised by my grandparents back in Cincinnati, Ohio. The lack of financial management training I received while growing up and my unawareness to my condition of lower-class living. I give you some insight into some of my struggles with racism while in the military and the effects it had on me navigating the military’s system of advancement. How some military personnel believed that race was a determining factor in a person’s capacity to do certain jobs and, consequently, shouldn’t have equal access to promotions and opportunities. I share multiple scriptures with you as proof positive that God, the creator of heaven and Earth, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, is our source; and it is He who gives us, the believers, the power to gain wealth. The Parable of the Talent in the book of Matthew and the Parable of the Minas in the book of Luke are solid evidence that God expects us to be good servants of the money He blesses us with. And I also share with you my six-step financial management system that will help any believer who follows it to become financially secure and a good servant of the money God has and will bless you with. The six-step financial management system is sequential—meaning, you start with the first step, and you don’t progress to the second step until the first step is complete. Doing so will ensure you have built a financial foundation that will not be shaken or destroyed by the tests, trials, and tribulations we all experience in this world. It ends with answering three questions about retirement: When do you start preparing for retirement? How much money will you need for retirement? And what does your retirement look like? This is the first book and it will serve as a financial foundation to those who absorb its contents. To you, that have ears to hear, if you read and believe you will achieve your financial goals. It is the will of God!”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Earl C. Johnson’s new book takes on the problem faced by many who were not afforded the training needed to become financially secure.
Johnson shares in hopes of aiding others in their pursuit of becoming financially secure through helpful guidance based on his own experiences and study.
