Author J.E. Franklin’s new book “Crouching at the Door” is a sincere and evocative examination of the emotional pain endured by people traumatized by perfidious sin.


News Image

J.E. Franklin, has completed his new book “Crouching at the Door”: an assertion that America’s primary documents are informed by essential principles derived from the Holy Scriptures, and ought to receive the support of everyone who reckons that he or she is a believer in the teachings of the Bible.

Franklin writes, “Life is good. Your house is swept and put in order. Then you hear a noise outside. You pull the curtain away, peering out the window to see an enticing figure grinning at you. You pull the door open, admiring its scent in your nose, appreciating its voice with your ears. You reach out to stroke the silken fabric it wears, only to caress the roughened hide of a scabrous beast.

Gideon Prossiden is a good cop. At least, he thinks he is. But after being assigned a cold case that goes nowhere and being compelled to fight off impending lunacy from an onslaught of absurd hallucinations, he begins to question his good cop status.

Now he’s tangled up in a keen desire for the coroner’s secretary, and with an equally intense guilt for his less than gentlemanly daydreams about her. But she holds the resolution to his cold case, and he must somehow suppress the lechery in his mind while hiding from his anger about her persistent talk of religion and that ‘God stuff.’

It looks like an angel, white robes gleaming with an inner fire. How can it feel so monstrous? Now the thing at the door snarls, hissing, and your mind is roiling with immoral thoughts, lustful thoughts, while sickening scenes of blood and mayhem spatter the carnal circus.

But there is hope. There is one who stands at the door and knocks, whose brilliantly white robe is not a guise. The crux is, how can you tell the difference between them? Gideon Prossiden stands on that crux, and a pretty, blonde warrior stands beside him, desperately fighting to help him see the truth.

Will he fall, and take her with him? Or will his sleeping soul awaken to journey with her on the path to paradise? The battle for their minds started before time began. Who, or what, will prove to be the victor?”

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, J.E. Franklin’s engrossing book is a gripping and potent novel exploring human frailty and the psychological and spiritual costs of sin.

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

More Objections to Christianity” is a masterful synthesis of science and the Bible.


News Image

“Truth Seeker: More Objections to Christianity”: a compelling account that introduces a wide range of ancient religious views related to Christianity. “Truth Seeker: More Objections to Christianity” is the creation of published author Warren M. Mueller, a writer who accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and experienced spiritual birth.

Mueller writes, “Was Jesus a Zealot? Has the tomb of Jesus been discovered? Was Christianity an outgrowth of Mystery Religions? What is the relationship between Christianity and the Essenes or Gnostics? Did the Catholic Church create a Bible that is different from apostolic writings? These are some of the questions that have surfaced in recent years and that are discussed in this book. Warren’s father was a deep thinker, a voracious reader, and a seeker after historical truths. He adopted many ideas that challenged traditional Christian views. He believed that religious and political institutions have altered history to reflect their views. While this is true to an extent, there are many solid facts upon which Christianity is founded that support the divinity of Jesus and his redemptive work on the cross. This book continues a dialogue between Warren and his father that spanned more than thirty years and began with Warren’s book: ‘Truth Seeker: Objections to the Bible.’ This book is for those who have questions and problems with aspects of the Bible. It also debunks the ancient alien theory for the creation of mankind.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Mueller’s new book is an enthralling memoir that aims to help to deepen the appreciation of the readers on the deeper study on historical figures, cultures, and religions.

With this book, it gives the readers a deep discussion on the Trinity and the early church, gospel writers, and other subjects related to the development of Christianity

This book reminds us to slow down

Within the pages of Gigi Scofield’s new book, As I Look Out of My Kitchen Window ($14.49, paperback, 9781545616604; $6.99, ebook, 9781545619032), readers will find a book containing conversations between God and the author as she looked out of her kitchen window while enjoying the beauty of His creation, family, friends, and wildlife. Through each scene He reminded the author of scripture and she ends with a short prayer.

Scofield believes looking out of a kitchen window can open our eyes not only to the beauty of God’s creation, the love of family and friends, but also the relevance of His Word through everyday life experiences.

“In today’s non-stop society, is your common response, ‘I’m so busy’?” says Scofield. “This book reminds us to slow down, see the beauty of God’s creation, the love of family and friends, to take some quiet moments communicating with the Lord.”

Gigi Scofield grew up in Tarpon Springs, FL and married her high school sweetheart. She is a loving mother to three grown sons and a grandmother of six. It has been her honor to be a pastor’s wife, a Bible teacher of all ages for over thirty-five years (writing many of the lessons herself), a women’s ministry leader, and working mom. Serving God has taken her from Florida to Alabama and, for the past twenty-five years, Montana. While on mission trips to Uganda and Ukraine, she had the pleasure of teaching and encouraging women.

No matter where she is, Gigi loves people and loves the Lord; serving Him is her privilege and joy.

Certification demonstrates a commitment to the profession and industry best practices.

During National Case Management Week, ACMA encourages all health care organizations to recognize and support the practice of case management by promoting case management’s role in the delivery of health care.

Cumberland Academy of Georgia Expands Its Experiential Emotional Intelligence Curriculum


Student at Cumberland Academy of Georgia who participates in the "IMAGINE If..." program

“The more we infuse Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the curriculum and student life, the better our students are equipped to handle stress and surprise,” said Dr. Spargo, director of counseling at Cumberland Academy.

Cumberland Academy of Georgia believes that social growth is equally as important as academic growth. In addition to a teaching staff that specializes in educating students with learning differences, Cumberland houses a therapeutic counseling staff that plays an equal role in student success at school, at home and in the world. One of the tools Cumberland counselors utilize is an experiential emotional intelligence curriculum entitled “IMAGINE If..”. “IMAGINE If…” emphasizes core principles like “gratitude” and “courage” in an effort to build a student’s level of self-awareness, motivation, and self-esteem.

On a weekly basis, students explore various topics through open discussions in the classroom and journaling digitally through Google Classroom. The counseling staff introduces the material to students during homeroom, and teachers incorporate the information into their lessons, providing students with additional opportunities to explore concepts in their daily interactions. The digital journal also provides students with opportunities to express their feelings and reflect. Journal prompts are provided, and students respond based on their thoughts and experiences. This online forum is monitored by counselors and provides them with valuable insight and feedback on each student.

“The more we infuse Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the curriculum and student life, the better our students are equipped to handle stress and surprise,” said Dr. Spargo, director of counseling at Cumberland Academy. “The program helps us know how to listen and reach our students, so they can develop life-long skills to navigate successfully in all areas of life.”

Aligning with Cumberland’s mission, the “IMAGINE If…” program helps provide support and guides students in learning the importance of goal setting, daily positive practice, and self-awareness to become self-sufficient young adults. Jennifer Kramer, speaker and author of “IMAGINE If…”, regularly visits the campus and is accessible to faculty, staff, and families as a consultant.

About Cumberland Academy of Georgia

Cumberland Academy of Georgia specializes in the needs of students in grades 4 through 12 who have high-functioning autism, Asperger’s syndrome, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities. Cumberland was founded in 2007 by Debbi and Matthew Scarborough, and is a fully-accredited, independent, non-profit school that seeks to provide a safe and supportive academic atmosphere for its students. Cumberland accepts applications year-round. To schedule a family tour, please contact Jane Paoletta, Director of Admissions, at 404-835-9000, or email admissions@cumberlandacademy.org.
