Author Christopher Alan’s new book “Andrew” is an evocative story of survival and self-discovery after a deadly storm and its aftermath in the Florida Keys


News Image

Christopher Alan is a Michigan native who worked on the management teams for some of the Los Angeles-area’s major hotel chains and currently lives in Bonita Springs, Florida. He has published his new book “Andrew”: a poignant exploration of life and meaning that resonates with universal themes central to the human experience.

In 1992, Hurricane Andrew passed over the city of Homestead, Florida, and changed the lives of the residents that lived there. Wayne Stover, a thirtysomething single man, was caught up in in the category 5 hurricane. Thankful for his life being spared, Wayne wants to give back to the community. He also wants the change in the air to bring change to him. His life’s pattern is as a journeyman philosopher, he is unable to focus his desire and talents to achieve anything productive. Wayne finds out that there are many lessons and perils to learn on the rooftops repairing the damage from the hurricane. Wayne has a burning feeling inside him that he was meant for something significant. His privileged upbringing and wide experiences as an American youth growing up in Europe should not be wasted. He is tormented by the thoughts of his father’s wishes for him. Wayne’s father is a great and accomplished man Wayne loves and respects as a mentor. However, he is unable to please his father. It is written in the Bible that Andrew approached Jesus and asked Jesus to teach him. Jesus said, “Come with me, and we will change the world.” That is all that Wayne wants, in some small way to change the world.

Published by Page Publishing, Christopher Alan’s engrossing book is a quietly riveting story of one man’s eventful path toward self-discovery.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Andrew” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

A Biblical Study” profoundly delves into the supplementing doctrine of the creation story according to the Word of God


News Image

“God’s Dinosaurs: A Biblical Study”: an edifying book that contains insights on the creation story in the Holy Bible and how it proves God’s majesty against the discrediting theories of the evolution theory. “God’s Dinosaurs: A Biblical Study” is the creation of published author Allen Nance, a retired public school teacher, minister, and a devoted follower of God.

Nance shares, “At one time, there was a public debate about which was true: creationism or evolution. The debate is no longer being waged, publicly but a single answer, acceptable to both sides, has not been found. Evolution stays in the lane of public education. Creation stays in the lane of religious education. The problem we face as Christians in the debate is the lack of an explanations for the existence of the dinosaurs. The entire argument on behalf of evolution is made up but does include a very creative explanation for the dinosaurs’ existence. We know God created all life on Earth, yet the traditional creation stories do not include the dinosaurs. This book will guide you to read the creation story in God’s Word as it is actually written. The true story is surprising, intriguing, and does include the dinosaurs. The Bible has had the answer the whole time.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Allen Nance’s new book enlightens readers with the biblical truths on the creation of the world that science often yearns to discredit, creating confusion and close-mindedness among people.

“God’s Dinosaurs: A Biblical Study” invites an open mind and an accepting heart in understanding God’s will and principles in creating the world and its wondrous creatures with great intricacy that reflects His glory and omnipotence that no man can explain.

Nationwide Virtual Walk & Roll for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy


National Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD Banner

“We need a cure, and I am passionate about being a part of finding it in any way I can.” – Meredith Huml

The FSHD Society, the world’s largest research-focused patient advocacy organization for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), announced that it will hold a slew of virtual Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD events this September 12. The online events will take the place of dozens of in-person gatherings that had been planned for this summer and fall.

“When our signature Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD was launched in 2018, a $105,000 fundraising goal felt ambitious,” recalled the Society’s marketing director, Leigh Reynolds. “One year later, we welcomed thousands of participants and raised nearly half a million dollars.” These past events took place in public parks, but with the COVID-19 pandemic, “social distancing and public safety guidelines threatened to derail our progress,” said Reynolds.

Undeterred, the Society’s volunteer Walk & Roll leaders from across the country decided to transition the in-person event into a virtual event that will be celebrated nationwide on September 12. Supporters across the U.S. (and beyond) can join any of the 24 local Walk & Rolls advocating for public awareness and funding to support the Society’s work. People who aren’t close to a local event can sign up for the National Virtual Walk & Roll. Collectively, the 2020 Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD has set a goal of raising a half million dollars for programs in research and patient support.

To create the feel of a live event and foster a sense of community during the virtual Walk & Roll, the FSHD Society will stream its live radio show on September 12 over Facebook. Celebrity guests, researchers, doctors, Walk & Roll leaders, and participants will call in to voice their support and share their exploits with radio show host Tim Hollenback. Max Adler, actor and former Glee star, has agreed to serve as national ambassador for the event.

The funds raised by the virtual Walk & Roll will be invested in accelerating the development of therapies while empowering individuals affected by FSHD. “Our goal is to deliver a treatment or cure to our families by the year 2025,” announced the Society’s President and CEO, Mark Stone.

“We need a cure, and I am passionate about being a part of finding it in any way I can,” said Meredith Huml, FSHD Society North Carolina Chapter Director and Walk Leader. She was diagnosed with FSHD as a young teen. Her younger brother was diagnosed more recently but his symptoms have progressed more rapidly, and he is now in a wheelchair.

“The Walk & Roll is first and foremost a fundraiser, generating critical funds to support the search for treatments and a cure, but it is also about so much more,” said Reynolds. “On event day, for a few hours, we all join together as one. Living with FSHD can be a lonely road. At the Walk & Roll, we realize no one makes the journey alone.”

FSHD is among the most prevalent of the nine primary types of muscular dystrophy affecting adults and children. The genetic disorder is estimated to affect nearly one million individuals worldwide. It causes progressive weakness, typically in the face, shoulder blade, arms, legs, and torso, but may affect almost any skeletal muscle in the body. There is currently no treatment or cure and approximately one-quarter of patients become dependent on wheelchairs.

The FSHD Society is the world’s largest research-focused patient organization for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), one of the most prevalent forms of muscular dystrophy. We have catalyzed major advancements and are accelerating the development of treatments and a cure to end the pain, disability, and suffering endured by one million people worldwide who live with FSHD. The FSHD Society has transformed the landscape for FSHD research, and is committed to making sure that no one faces this disease alone.

To be filled with hope even if we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death. To be filled with the knowledge of the certainty of the life which is in Christ Jesus. This is a quick study guide of how to walk in his glory, in the mighty power of the Spirit of God, in this present evil world. To show the church that as we get closer to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the world is going to grow darker and darker. To encourage the people of God to not be afraid or to lose heart, rather to have hope, trusting in our risen savior. To know that the glory of the living God is going to come upon the church in an awesome display of his love.

Erika Gonzalez’s newly released “Nací para adorar” is an inspiring narrative that proves the uplifting grace when one worships God wholeheartedly


News Image

“Nací para adorar: Fuimos creados para adorar”: a compelling book that instills the significance of steadfastly upholding one’s worship of God amid life’s toils. “Nací para adorar: Fuimos creados para adorar” is the creation of published author Erika Gonzalez, a mother, a wife, a sister and a friend from Connecticut, USA.

Gonzalez shares, “Even if you see that everything seems wrong around you, keep worshiping, thanking God. To thank God, you don’t have to feel it, you simply have to say it. This gives you a token of thanks. I once read this in a devotional and made it mine, I would say in the form of a question, ‘Would you worship and follow God even if He does not meet your expectations? Would you continue to follow him even if you feel abandoned? Would you continue to pray?’ How strong. What would be your answer? I’m sure you’ll say, ‘Yes, I would,’ and so would I. And although the reality is that it is not easy, for our flesh opposes the spirit, just as Matthew 26, 41 says: ‘If you can!’ Our human nature is our first opponent, it makes us resistance, but once you know the truth, you know that if you can. You keep pushing, knowing that everything takes time. Think about those triumphs you’ve had in life, whether they’re small, like fixing the bed in the morning before you left, how long did it take you to achieve it or get used to it? He also practices prayer and worship. Believe me, worship brings benefits for you and yours. God’s time is Perfect!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Erika Gonzalez’s new book brings a purposeful insight to readers on having an unyielding resolve and faith in God despite the hurdles and pain that come and threaten to deplete the soul’s spiritual fortitude.

This book is a wonderful testament that reinforces an individual’s belief in God by instilling the pivotal wisdom of prayer and praising God.
