Gisèle Laframboise’s newly released “Empowered by God” paints a compelling portrait of a life founded on God’s truth and empowered by His Spirit

MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Empowered by God: Don’t Use God’s Sovereignty as an Excuse to Accept Defeat”: a powerful book that shares insights on seeking God’s will through His Word and His Spirit and motivates believers to live empowered like Jesus and His disciples. “Empowered by God: Don’t Use God’s Sovereignty as an Excuse to Accept Defeat” is the creation of published author Gisèle Laframboise, a retired public servant and a devout follower of God.

Laframboise shares, “You were designed in the image of God and to act like Jesus, yet you probably resist Holy Spirit unintentionally as do most Christians. It’s time that you put on the mind of Christ and clothe yourself with Christ to do what Jesus did and even greater things.

“Is your spirit screaming for more of God and for His plan to be fulfilled in your life? Are you tired of living in mediocrity when you know that God wants you to do so much more? If so, this book may just be for you. It reveals God’s truth and challenges you to reset your mind and heart on your privileges as well as obligations as a child of Almighty God.

“Are you doing anything supernatural—in God’s power? If not, you are missing out on what God planned for you and asked of you. Jesus was all about the supernatural, and so were the disciples in the book of Acts. It’s time we do the same!

“Too often we accept what is happening to us in the natural instead of fighting in the spiritual for something Jesus has already provided for us or wants to do for us. Don’t accept defeat and credit God for it because our Father is all-powerful. Instead, partner with Holy Spirit to bring glory to the name of Jesus.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Gisèle Laframboise’s new book presents a positive challenge of seeking God’s heart and accomplishing what God has told us to do as well as the works He had prepared for each of us.

By using the Holy Bible, this book edifies and emphasizes the importance of asking God daily for guidance and wisdom in life.

ASHA Commemorates 30th Anniversary of Americans With Disabilities Act

Leave a comment


The ADA challenged the routine, and generally accepted, practices of discrimination against people with disabilities—in the workplace, in the classroom, and in just about every setting in America.


ROCKVILLE, Md. (PRWEB)

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) today commemorates and reflects on 3 decades of progress under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The landmark civil rights legislation, which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by then-President George H. W. Bush.

“The ADA challenged the routine, and generally accepted, practices of discrimination against people with disabilities—in the workplace, in the classroom, and in just about every setting in America,” said Theresa H. Rodgers, MA, CCC-SLP, ASHA 2020 President. “Since it became law, the ADA has positively impacted the lives of millions of Americans with disabilities, including those with communication and related disorders. This important anniversary strengthens our resolve to continue the work that remains to make our society just, fair, and truly inclusive for those with disabilities. While recognizing this has not yet been fully achieved, we also celebrate the tremendous strides that have occurred because of the ADA.”

An early supporter of the ADA, ASHA has been active on several fronts over the last 30 years because of the landmark law.

ASHA received a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to develop free technical support and informational materials—such as training information on effective communication and accessibility for people with communication disorders—in various types of public facilities and services. That effort included contributing to the development of the McDonald’s restaurant picture menus, an advancement that made ordering more accessible for people with disabilities at the then-largest fast food chain in the nation.

ASHA has also actively contributed comments, testimony, and support for a host of other ADA rules and guidelines that have helped make society more accessible for those with communication disorders. These rules and guidelines have included the provision of Next Generation 9-1-1 emergency services, movie theater captioning, web accessibility, and data collection regarding disability status.

Examples of current areas of focus include further supporting individuals with disabilities who are interested in entering the communication sciences and disorders professions and developing additional consumer and ASHA member information as it relates to the unique challenges of people with communication disorders in the COVID-19 environment.

About the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)

ASHA is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 211,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students.

When?” is a thought-provoking tome that delves into the Bible to understand Christ’s second coming

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“The Rapture Question: When?”: an illuminating book that discusses the second coming of Christ and how this event is presented in the apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians regarding its manifestation and fulfillment. “The Rapture Question: When?” is the creation of published author Jack Binner, a dedicated writer who attended Practical Bible Training School in New York, graduated from Faith Baptist Bible College in Iowa, and earned a bachelor of arts degree and a bachelor of theology degree.

Binner shares, “Dear God-loving friends, our Lord Jesus loves us. He died on a Roman cross and was made sin for us so that we might be forgiven. He is in heaven, seated at the right hand of our heavenly Father. As we read through the New Testament scriptures, we become aware that the apostle Paul and others were waiting for our Lord Jesus to return. Today, in our time, over two thousand years later, Bible-believing Christians are anxiously looking for our Lord’s return.

“Over the years, theologians have written down their theories concerning our Lord’s return. The apostle Paul, in his letters to the church at Thessalonica, carefully explained exactly when and how this glorious event will happen. I pray that reading my book will provide some blessings for your life. Perhaps you will gain some new perspectives.

“Your old friend in Christ,

“Jack Binner”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jack Binner’s new book hopes to enlighten Christians on the biblical manner on how and when Christ will return to the world to bring those who believe in Him to the heavenly repose.

Orlean Koehle’s newly released “Islam Rising” is a compelling read on the rising demographics of Islam in the Western world that impacts culture and society

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Islam Rising: Christianity Waning in Europe and the USA”: an in-depth compendium that looks into the decline of Christianity and the rise of Islam in the Western culture that is evident in religious, communal, and educational settings. “Islam Rising” is the creation of published author Orlean Koehle, a former history/English teacher in the public schools and the state president of Eagle Forum of California.

Koehle shares, “What is causing the backward transformation that Europeans are experiencing, bringing parts of Europe back to almost the same state of terrorism and loss of freedom when they were once shackled under Nazi and Communist occupations?

“What has happened to Christianity in Europe? How many churches are now standing empty, being turned into museums or concert halls, or being sold as mosques?

“What has happened to the demographics of Europeans now in such decline? How soon will original Europeans no longer exist, replaced by the soaring populations of Muslims?

“What is the true history of Islam and the ideology driving their acts of terrorism? Why is this being whitewashed in the media and in European and American public schools as the schools are promoting pure Islam propaganda?

“How is the USA following the same pattern set for us in Europe with their massive influx of immigrants and refugees? Who are the various secular and nonsecular groups driving the refugee program, and how much money is being made by them?

“What are the huge numbers of immigrants and refugees doing to our own country? How are small town and communities and their schools suffering with such a huge influx of migrants who do not share a common culture, language, traditions, or religion? What can we learn from this book before it is too late?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Orlean Koehle’s new book analyzes the inner workings of the immigration system of Europe and America that has proved to be a massive influence on the upsurge of Islamic belief in Western countries.

This book answers intriguing and sensitive dilemmas on identity, patriotism, and worldview that concerns the enculturation of Islam in Western society.
