Author Paul Sibbley’s new book “Water Walking” is a compelling work that encourages Christians to live their lives with the values of God


News Image

Paul Sibbley has completed his new book “Water Walking”: a gripping and potent work written for those looking to strengthen their relationship with God.

Rev. Paul D. Sibbley believes his ministry’s calling is to teach, develop, and equip God’s people for service in the kingdom. He earned a Master of Arts degree in theology from Jameson Christian College. He was ordained as a pastor in July of 2007 and then was released to start Full of Life Church of the Living God in Wilmington, Delaware. Rev. Sibbley and his wife of forty-plus years, Sister Ruth L. Sibbley, have three children—Paul Jr., Shawn, and Shiree—twelve grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Author Paul Sibbley discusses his work, writing, “In the Christian faith today, many who profess the Christian faith are doing what we are told to do: to go to church, to pray, and to be good followers of Jesus Christ. However, we continue to live in the same manner as those who are not followers of Christ. In today’s society, it is very difficult to truly live as the Lord wants us to live because the way our society operates conflicts with the Word of God. As Peter stepped out on the water in obedience, we must step out of religion practices onto the waters of living holy. But in order for you to walk on the water, you have to get out of the boat. By reading this book, I pray that it would set a framework that will encourage you with the blessing, grace, and mercy of God in giving you the mind to walk on the water. May God richly bless you in all your endeavors.”

Published by Page Publishing, Paul Sibbley’s engaging work highlights the importance of faith as a key to living a life of peace and happiness.

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

Allie Garrett’s newly released “My Jesus Stories” is a personal and encouraging collection of testimonies


News Image

“My Jesus Stories”: a heartfelt thanks for all the ways in which God has guided the author. “My Jesus Stories” is the creation of published author Allie Garrett.

Garrett shares, “We are no doubt living in the most evil time we have ever seen. Good is called evil, and evil is called good. The Word of God is clear in Revelation 12:11 that we overcome the evil one by three things: the blood of the Lamb, the power of our testimony, and by loving not our own life even unto death. This is so simple. We simply plead the blood of Jesus, share what God has done for us, and put Him and others first. It’s easy for most people to do one and three, but sharing our testimony can be incredibly difficult sometimes because it’s so personal. Sometimes we’re embarrassed of situations we got ourselves into in the first place. Or perhaps it’s a very personal family or health situation. More often than not, we just want to keep up appearances and not air out our dirty laundry. If all of us together would do these three things, I think we would overcome so much of the evil running rampant in our world today!

“This book is a collection of my personal testimonies, a raw look into God’s perfect grace and mercy in my life. At the end of each chapter, you will find a ‘Two-Minute Takeaway,’ which is something from my testimony or God’s Word that you can easily and immediately apply to your own life. There’s also a journal prompt for you to write your own testimony. You may choose to keep this book private, but I am going to make this very easy for you to share your testimony. There’s actually a spot for three readers’ entries. The idea is for you to record your real, raw testimony and then pass this book on. This is an opportunity for you to take part in sharing with others how the kingdom of God has impacted your life personally. Be real and be honest. Welcome to my Jesus stories!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Allie Garrett’s new book will encourage and entertain the spirit as readers consider the important message within.

Garrett shares a powerful message of God’s love in hopes of encouraging others to nurture a strong connection with their faith.

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

News Image

“I’m Telling God”: a potent reminder of the strength one can draw from active faith. “I’m Telling God” is the creation of published author J.B. Cole, who currently resides in Florida with her two young boys. She has a degree in psychology and is working toward her master’s, and is a Student Success Counselor in a Christian school.

Cole shares, “I’m Telling God is written by a child of God who struggles with everyday life because of the turmoil the author has faced since childhood. Amid the struggles, the author is able to share the tools that has helped her to overcome the anxiety and fear associated with the trauma in her life. These same tools have strengthened her relationship with others and, more importantly, with God. This is a life that can’t be kept a secret.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, J.B. Cole’s new book offers readers an encouraging message along with thoughtful reflections on life’s challenges.

Cole shares a moving story layered with messages of God’s promise in hopes of empowering others to lean into faith and trust in God’s plan.

“Confessio” Album Celebrates the Connection Between Ireland’s Faith Music Heritage and American Roots Music


At the start of the pandemic, Keith and Kristyn Getty, the pre-eminent modern hymn writers in the world, took refuge at their home on the coast of Northern Ireland. During this extended period, the duo had the opportunity to revisit with the people and places, local culture, ancient hymns, folk music, and poetry which are part of their heritage. They rediscovered how Ireland’s ancient faith music tradition flowed to America where it influenced church, folk and popular music in the New World.

Confessio – Irish American Roots, is the Getty’s newest album, tracing their journey back to Northern Ireland and celebrating the Scots-Irish-American roots of their modern hymn writing. The album showcases 15 modern and timeless hymns, highlighting traditional Irish melodies and instrumentation, while also featuring performances by a musically diverse array of stellar guests including multiple Grammy-winning artists such as Alison Krauss and Kirk Whalum, and bluegrass icon Ricky Skaggs.

“Confessio – Irish American Roots is an outpouring of our year back on the North Coast of Ireland, exploring the connection between Ireland’s enduring faith music heritage and its far-reaching legacy here in America,” said Keith Getty, from his Nashville home. “The name of the album comes from St. Patrick’s famed writings; he was the first Irish hymnwriter and he began a legacy that has reached untold millions of people around the world for over 600 years.”

Standout tracks include a beautiful recording of “In Christ Alone” featuring Alison Kraus and released on the 20th anniversary of the iconic hymn’s creation. According to the most recent charts, “In Christ Alone” is one of the most-sung hymns in the world, with an estimated 100 million people singing the hymn each year globally. It is the only hymn to remain in the Top 20 hymns for the last 20 years worldwide.

Kirk Whalum and Dana Masters combine for a jazz touch on the classic hymn, “Amazing Grace,” written in 1772 by John Newton after experiencing a total spiritual conversion near Donegal, Ireland. Singer-songwriter Sandra McCracken lends her voice to “All My Heart Rejoices” and “Pass The Promise.”

Others performing on the album include bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs, Grammy-winning musicians Stuart Duncan (Fiddle), Rob Ickes (dobro), and Andy Leftwich (mandolin), as well as other notable musicians from both Ireland and Nashville such as Fionán de Barra (Guitar), Deborah Klemme (Fiddle), Jeff Taylor (accordion) and many more.

Confessio – Irish American Roots Track List:

1) Confessio

2) This Is My Father’s World with Runkerry Reel

3) When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

4) Pass The Promise (feat. Sandra McCracken)

5) Amazing Grace (feat. Kirk Whalum & Dana Masters)

6) Waulking Song/All My Heart Rejoices (Song of Anna)

7) Brightest and Best (with Ricky Skaggs)

8) Immigrant’s Song (featuring Jordyn Shellhart)

9) Come Thou Almighty King (feat. The Getty Girls)

10) It Is Well with My Soul

11) How Can I Keep From Singing?

12) Be Thou My Vision

13) Farewell To Ballymoney

14) And Are You Sleeping?

15) In Christ Alone (feat. Alison Krauss)

“Our recent time in Ireland was a reawakening of sorts for Kristyn and me,” added Keith Getty. “We fully know now that we are called to be the next generation to bring Ireland’s faith music tradition to the rest of the world, and to keep the legacy of singing hymns, started by St. Patrick, alive.”

Beatrice Francis Carey’s newly released “Jesus of Nazareth Our Liberator” is an empowering discussion of the glory of Jesus


News Image

“Jesus of Nazareth Our Liberator”: a potent reminder of all that God has provided through His son. “Jesus of Nazareth Our Liberator” is the creation of published author Beatrice Francis Carey.

Carey shares, “Some think, ‘Okay, another book about Jesus Christ.’

“They say, ‘Right on, brother,’ but I have one up on that. All books should be written about Jesus Christ the Nazarene. There is no other game in town, none, Jesus is the only thing going on. The reason for this being twofold.

“First, Christ’s imminent return is apparent to most.

“Second, God is answering our cries and our pleas in the face of our crumbling and disintegrating world that has no hope in sight.

“In the hands of God, however, we have hope for all things, for Jesus said, ‘With God, nothing is impossible.’ The one thing most are still stumbling over, and yet still not discovering is this God/Man named Jesus Christ.

“The facts have been handed down to us through eyewitnesses. At first, it was just an oral communication, but Jesus Christ inspired the Apostles and Paul, the chosen of God, for us Gentiles and inspired them to write for us undeniable testimonies of Jesus. They wrote of His beginnings and his mission to Earth in the Holy Gospels. And Paul wrote a great number of the Holy Epistles of our Bible given to Him with abundance of revelation by God. All which are good for our knowledge of Jesus Christ and his mission to Earth.

“Jesus wants us to make Him known to all men. Why? Because Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light.’ This is central to every Word written in the Bible. Jesus’s last Words to His disciples on Ascension Sunday were, ‘Go and preach.’ In a nutshell, that means yes, make Jesus known to mankind. Publicize it, broadcast this knowledge; every one of us is to be laboring at this command. God helps those that think it is enough to sit in their easy chair and pay tithes and go to Church on Sabbath. No and no, because the knowledge of Jesus Christ the Nazarene must ‘cover the Earth as the waters cover the Sea.’ ‘Go and make disciples of all Nations,’ and then the end shall come.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Beatrice Francis Carey’s new book will challenge and encourage believers to pursue a stronger connection with their faith.

Carey shares a powerful message within the pages of this spirited work.

Consumers can purchase “Jesus of Nazareth Our Liberator” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

TS Delaney with Cathleen DeLaney’s newly released “A Recipe for Envy” is an engaging modern spin on a familiar biblical lesson


News Image

“A Recipe for Envy: A modern day twist on the biblical story of Joseph featuring Chef Josef Reno”: a suspenseful journey of faith. “A Recipe for Envy: A modern day twist on the biblical story of Joseph featuring Chef Josef Reno” is the creation of published authors TS Delaney with Cathleen DeLaney, a brother and sister duo from Texas.

TS Delaney with Cathleen DeLaney shares, “The story of Joseph remains one of the Bible’s most endearing stories. Joseph’s journey from his brother’s betrayal to his family’s savior shows us what one man can do when his circumstances do not define him but provide an opportunity for him to reach his ultimate purpose. This classic tale’s themes of envy, revenge, despair, forgiveness, and reconciliation compel the reader to reevaluate how they handle their own circumstance and offers the solution of working selflessly to improve the lives of others as the first step.

“A modern retelling of this story requires the reader to allow for adequate dramatic license for the plot to unfold. The timeline is compressed for the modern reader, and several character roles are adjusted. The brother’s plot against Joseph is intact but given a modern twist to allow for story development.

“In the original story, the nature of the prison is not disclosed. Joseph’s interaction with the king’s prisoners indicate it was as special type of prison. This modern version takes place in an FCP or ‘Country Club Prison’ located next to a Federal Correctional Institute. This type of prison normally holds white-collar criminals.

“With that in mind, as Pastor John Hagee is known to say, ‘Enter into the theatre of your mind,’ and enjoy a modern twist on the story of Joseph.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, TS Delaney with Cathleen DeLaney’s new book will engage the imagination as readers see the parallels depicted within.

Consumers can purchase “A Recipe for Envy: A modern day twist on the biblical story of Joseph featuring Chef Josef Reno” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
