“Rocks, Socks, and Ugly Underwear”: a humorous and thoughtful opportunity to discuss social issues with young readers. “Rocks, Socks, and Ugly Underwear” is the creation of published author Karen Pine, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother and a retired special-needs teacher who saw firsthand how the changing dynamics of the family unit can adversely affect children.

Pine shares, “With the changing family dynamics, it can be difficult for children to see where they fit in. Whether it is a learning disability, behavior issue, divorce, stepsiblings, loss of a family member, homelessness, or depression—all of these and more do adversely affect our children. Instead of a happy, loving childhood, the child is faced with these distractions and can’t look past them.

“Rocks, Socks, and Ugly Underwear addresses the issues with divorce as well as anger. It is a funny story about a little boy named Tarnish. The children will see how Tarnish learned to deal with his anger issues as well as the divorce of his parents. He finds out everything is going to be fine; life is just different for each child. The children will laugh at the antics that Tarnish does throughout the story, then see his amazing transformation by becoming a happy, loving child.

“This is the first in a series of books to help empower children to look and actively seek the good in everything they see and do. If they can look past what they can’t change and still find happiness, these precious children will be able to see that they are loved, important, and needed. The problems these precious children carry on their shoulders is why these books are being created. Karen hopes to bring a glimmer of hope and happiness to each reader, one book at a time.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Karen Pine’s new book is lovingly illustrated by Cherie Portinga.

Pine writes in hopes of encouraging and empowering young readers as they navigate a world of unexpected changes.

“Now What?: Next Steps in Your Walk with Christ”: a potent examination of what it means to truly live a Christian life. “Now What?: Next Steps in Your Walk with Christ” is the creation of published author Tommy Boland, a loving husband and father of four who earned a Master of Divinity in 2009 and a Doctor of Ministry in 2020 at Knox Theological Seminary, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In 2019, he launched Live4G Ministries.

Boland shares, “Once you say, ‘I believe!’ now what? Now it is time to begin the process of becoming a disciple of Christ, to grow and mature in your faith.

“Now What addresses the biblical mandate of ‘making disciples’ (Matthew 28:19) through the consistent application of the means of grace—those activities or ‘disciplines’ designed by God to conform us more and more into the image and likeness of Christ.

“Tommy lays out a simple framework designed to help the new believer build his Christian life on the Rock of Jesus Christ. But that’s not all.

“This book is also designed to be used as an ongoing training manual for all Christians because the process of discipleship never ends in the life of the believer until we are brought home into glory. The ultimate goal in discipleship is to be making disciples who are committed to making disciples, and this book will help you do just that.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Tommy Boland’s new book is an inspiring look at steps that can be taken to reaffirm and increase one’s faith.

With thoughtful reflections, encouraging questions, and relevant scripture, Boland encourages those who seek a close relationship with God to take a moment to reflect and expand their spirituality.

“Always A Servant, Never A Slave”: a potent argument for the strength found in faith. “Always A Servant, Never A Slave” is the creation of published author Rousell Thomas Jr., a loving husband, father, and grandfather who was born and raised in Louisiana. Thomas Jr. attended both segregated and integrated school systems in the south before going on to be commissioned as an active-duty US Army Officer (2nd Lieutenant) in 1985. He retired after twenty years of active-duty service to pursue a life of ministry and volunteerism.

Thomas Jr. shares, “This book both answers a significant question and it illustrates (gives visual evidence to) that answer. The question is, is there freedom in servitude, or can one truly be FREE, while living a life of or serving in positions or situations of servitude? I have unequivocally found and concluded that answer to be YES!

“The title of this book, Always a Servant, Never a Slave, reflects the required spirit (identity and attitude), heart, mind-set (perspective) and demonstrated faithfulness, that one must possess, while functioning as a Willing Servant (of God). True freedom is realized and acquired (possessed), through our awareness (and realization) of the greater reality of our spiritual: existence, purpose, and divine assignments. This affords (you and I) supernatural strength that allows and empowers us to overcome, conquer, and transcend any/all physical and negative circumstances (experience) in life, as we continue to faithfully move toward fulfilling our purpose and destiny.

“To illustrate the validity of my answer to the aforementioned question, I have reflected upon quite a number of my personal assignments (out of the millions of opportunities that God has given me). Additionally, it’s no coincidence, that as I am typing this Cover Summary, when the movie HARRIET has just debuted, which reflects the life, sacrifices, service and legacy of HARRIET TUBMAN. She is another great Example of someone who embodied this Same Spirit! Now, as YOU choose to Embrace and keep your eyes on that prize, of fulfilling Your GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE, regardless of your background, past experiences, limitations/struggles, location or circumstances—you (too), can be FREE to be the willing servant that HE created you to BE.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Rousell Thomas Jr.’s new book is an encouraging approach to active service through ministry, community service, mentoring and volunteerism.

The author’s passion for service is on display within the pages of this uplifting work that pushes believers to become what God intended them to be.

“Love and Serve: Our Daily Servant Ministry to Reflect God’s Love: Over 365 Daily Devotions”: a moving collection of spiritual reflections. “Love and Serve: Our Daily Servant Ministry to Reflect God’s Love: Over 365 Daily Devotions” is the creation of published author Pastor Ross L. Worch, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who graduated from Ohio State University in 1971 before being commissioned into the United States Army in 1972. Retiring from the Army in 1994, he went on to attend Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio, from 1994 to 1998, obtaining a Master of Divinity degree and becoming ordained in June of 1998. Pastor Worch also holds a Master of Arts degree in Human Resources Management from Pepperdine University (1981). He has served six churches during his more than twenty-two years of ministry in Missouri, Texas, Ohio, and Arkansas.

Pastor Worch shares, “Love and Serve is composed of 377 devotions to give daily guidance in our servant ministry to reflect God’s love to all around us. There are 366 devotions for every day of the year, plus eleven additional devotions for the Church year celebrations that move around the calendar because they are controlled by the changing date of Easter each year. That makes this devotional book useable year after year. By ecclesiastical rules, Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring. There are thirty-five possible dates for Easter, from March 22 to April 25. The devotions for Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter, and Pentecost can be plugged in each year on the specific date that applies for that year.

“Love and Serve is really a group of 377 mini-sermons to help us turn God’s Word into daily action. Each devotion is headed by words from the Bible, and the devotion answers the question, ‘What does this mean for us in the twenty-first century?’ And each devotion ends with a short prayer that is intended to help us put our words into action. This love (agape) is the kind of unconditional love that God has for each of us and the way God wants us to love each other. Agape, when done as God intended, is a verb, an action word. God calls on us to be his ambassadors here on earth. We are to represent God to our neighbors. Love and Serve, used daily, can greatly assist in this endeavor. We are called upon to love God and neighbor and to do God’s work with our hands. We are called to love and serve.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Pastor Ross L. Worch’s new book is an inspiring opportunity for daily active worship.

With decades of ministry service to pull from, Pastor Worch presents a collection of faith-based writings for those who seek to encourage and nurture a sense of faith.

Not only is Texas’s abortion ban blatantly unconstitutional, it’s downright dystopian. By turning enforcement over to random private citizens, lawmakers have created a vigilante system to hunt down and terrorize anyone who seeks to terminate a pregnancy – and placed a cash bounty on their heads.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
September 01, 2021

Catholics for Choice, which uplifts and amplifies the voices of the majority of Catholics who believe in reproductive freedom, condemned Texas’s dangerous and unconstitutional new abortion ban and the United States Supreme Court for allowing it to take effect today despite ongoing legal challenges.

The law bans abortion after six weeks, in direct violation of Roe v. Wade, and allows private citizens to file suit in state court against anyone who helps a Texan terminate a pregnancy – from doctors and medical staff to the spouse or clergy member the pregnant person may have discussed their decision with, the family member who may have helped pay for the abortion, or the friend who might have given them a ride to the clinic. If that random private citizen wins, the law awards them a minimum of $10,000 plus attorneys’ fees. And, if the target of their lawsuit is an abortion provider, the law orders the court to shut down that clinic.

Catholics for Choice President Jamie L. Manson said:

“By banning abortions after six weeks – well before many people even know they are pregnant – Governor Abbott and the GOP-controlled Texas Legislature have effectively overturned Roe v. Wade and outlawed abortion in the Lone Star State. Not only is this new abortion ban blatantly unconstitutional, it’s downright dystopian. By turning enforcement of the law over to random private citizens across the country, Texas lawmakers have created a vigilante system to hunt down and terrorize anyone in their state who seeks to terminate a pregnancy – and placed a cash bounty on their heads to boot. In Texas, it is now open season on women, girls, other pregnant people, doctors, and medical professionals as well as the abortion funds, practical support networks, clergy, and activists who work tirelessly to ensure access to basic healthcare for all. This ban is shameful, lawless, and a violation of human rights.”

In addition to the dire consequences that this law will have for Texans, the Supreme Court’s refusal to temporarily block its enforcement until various legal challenges work their way through the courts is a disturbing sign of how the justices may be preparing to rule in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Court will hear this challenge to Mississippi’s draconian 15-week abortion ban in the upcoming term.

“As Catholics, we are dismayed, disheartened, and disgusted to see the majority-Catholic Supreme Court green-lighting a measure that grossly betrays the fundamental values of Catholic social teaching, particularly respect for human dignity and liberation,” said Manson. “The Court’s action today guts abortion rights law, gives the imprimatur to other Republican-controlled states considering similar anti-choice legislation, and sends a very strong and ominous signal that conservative extremists on the Court do not intend to uphold Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. We ask the Court to listen to the voices of the majority of Americans – and the majority of U.S. Catholics – who want Roe to remain in place, and we call on pro-choice Catholics in the White House and Congress to speak out against this outrageous judicial attack on reproductive freedom — beginning with the passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act (HR 3755/S 1975) and EACH Act (HR 2234/S 1021) to safeguard abortion rights and access nationwide.”
