It is my hope that others, especially pastors, will find this book an encouragement and inspiration as they, too, meet the challenges of life and make their own personal journey toward emotional and spiritual wholeness

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (PRWEB)
July 01, 2021

Author Carolyn Cammenga shares the story of how God healed her heart and assured her that she was wanted in What Others Reject, God Accepts: A Pastor’s Journey Toward Wholeness ($16.99, paperback, 9781662819001; $9.99, e-book, 9781662819018).

Cammenga’s birth mother was unmarried and left her in the care of her maternal grandparents. She spent 4 ½ happy years with them before, for reasons she did not understand, they put her up for adoption. Cammenga was welcomed into a wonderful, loving family, but she could not overcome the feeling that she was rejected and unwanted. In this book, she tells her story to testify that God is the One who accepts what others do not.

“It is my hope that others, especially pastors, will find this book an encouragement and inspiration as they, too, meet the challenges of life and make their own personal journey toward emotional and spiritual wholeness,” said Cammenga.

Rev. Carolyn Cammenga is a retired pastor with a BA degree in Speech and Drama from Monmouth College, an MS degree in Guidance and Counseling from Illinois State University, a Master of Divinity degree and a Master of Theology degree from Calvin Theological Seminary. In addition to teaching in various schools around the world, she worked alongside her husband to plant churches in Illinois and Michigan. Cammenga was ordained by the Presbyterian Church USA in 1980, and the Christian Reformed Church in 2005. She served a number of churches in various capacities up until her retirement in 2012. Now widowed, she has four children, ten grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.

“Now I Have Seen You”: a spiritual compilation of living testimonials. “Now I Have Seen You” is the creation of published author Kathi L. Norris, a devoted follower of Christ for over three decades, amongst others.

Norris’ journey to composing this work began when her husband passed away at the young age of twenty eight. She explains, “I was a Christian and had searched high and low for two years looking through the scriptures for answers and direction during his illness. There were endless tears and crying out to God.

I remember reading the book of Job and thinking, No one wants to be the person reading this book because you think you relate. At the end of the book, chapter 42, Job says to God, ‘I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.’ I was so impacted! I realized that during the two years that my husband had been ill, I was able to see, with my own eyes, the character of God in a way that I never would have been able to otherwise.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kathi L. Norris’s new book inspires and reaffirms faith at work in everyday lives.

It wasn’t until after her hardship that clarity was bestowed upon her and realization set in that God presented himself to Norris during her time of need. She now knows that when people are suffering, whether from despair, grief, loss, or heartbreak, that they can see and feel God’s presence in their lives, for he will reach out to his followers during their darkest hour, so long as they have faith in their hearts.

“Lord, Sunday Is Coming What Shall I Preach?”: a thought-provoking exploration of what is needed to create inspiring sermons. “Lord, Sunday Is Coming What Shall I Preach?” is the creation of published author Aldon E. Cotton, a passionate Christian, loving father, and instructor at Christian Bible College of Louisiana. Despite losing both legs, Pastor Cotton continues to be a compelling and powerful orator of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Cotton shares, “If you are a pastor of a church, then this book will aid in bringing a balance to your life to avoid burnout in your pastorage. As a pastor, you cannot afford to be so occupied during the week with secondary responsibilities and then do what we call a “Saturday night special.” In this book, you will find proven methods that will shine light on the path that leads to a prepared preacher who is ready to mound the pulpit.

“If you are an associate minister with a desire to one day be a pastor, then this book will give you some insights to what is involved in the life of a pastor. Pastoring is more than having an opportunity to preach every Sunday.

“If you are a Sunday school teacher, then this book will equip you with steps to take as you seek to share with your students. In this book, you will find a structure to guide you through a given outline and to conclude if the topic is in agreement with the text. As you use this tool, you should see spiritual babies become matured in the Scriptures and in their walk with the Lord Jesus.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Aldon E. Cotton’s new book is an encouraging tool for pastors, associate ministers, and Sunday school teachers.

With years of experience and a passion for preaching the Gospel, Pastor Cotton writes in hopes of encouraging others who seek to spread the word of God.

“What Is the New Jerusalem?”: a reflective account that brings out the truth behind the inaccuracies in the church in order for the children of God to properly divine His Word. “What Is the New Jerusalem?” is the creation of published author David Jensen, a loving father and husband. His brother Bob led him to the Lord Jesus Christ in 1981, and he has been growing in the faith since.

Jensen shares, “We all know about how we were taught that when we die we will stand before Peter at the pearly gates and he holds a book determining if we are worthy of entering the gates of heaven. We were told we will be running down streets of gold and having a mansion we reside in this enormous cube extending 1500 miles in all directions. But have you really thought about that? Have you considered how strange that would look on the earth?

“When I began studying that, I noticed that it is not mentioned in scripture. But what is mentioned is the description of the bride of Christ. In Revelation chapter 21, John is describing the bride as a beautiful city and not a literal super cube coming down. In this book, I will go verse by verse explaining this description so you can have an accurate knowledge of the Word of God.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, David Jensen’s new book is a comprehensive tackling around the Word of God to provide a much more truthful account of His message and His plans for humanity.
