Content

Autonomy and goal-oriented action are highly prized by contemporary North American Christians, but life in Christ involves surrender and servanthood. My thesis is that identity formation in the enslaved conceptually models the formation of one’s Christian identity. Although enslaved people were forced into earthly non-autonomous servanthood, educational darkness, and legal non-representation, many exhibited lustrous Christian qualities of self-denial, unrelenting prayer, and a thirst for righteousness. The book features the narratives of enslaved persons who despite illiteracy, the negative witness of slaveholders, and the twisted theology of Whites, engaged with the Gospel. These engagements yielded perseverance, small group networking, and intelligence, and allow readers to recognize the character of Jesus in the enslaved narrators. I hope this book will help contemporary Christians take a spiritual inventory and understand what is necessary for bearing the image of Christ and being his bondservant in a culture where self-sufficiency is prized.

About the Author
Stephen McGowan MD (NIH My Bibliography https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/183ydmpGdFRAs/bibliography/47993886/public/?sort=date&direction=ascending) received a master’s degree in mission and intercultural studies from Wheaton College. When he retired from his medical career, he applied the logic and analytical skills used for his scientific research to study why racial disparities still exist how Christians can overcome implicit biases. The book is written for Christians who want to synthesize their own views based on individual narrative, theology and careful interpretation of scripture. The book is important for scholars of history, intercultural studies, missiology, and counseling psychology. Its novelty for historians is the application of grounded theory to systematically evaluate the narratives of enslaved people and extract unifying themes and hypotheses.

Life bucks. When it does, is there a way to get back on? Life bucks. Folks say “Just get back on”, but how can we when we’ve bit the dust? Sometimes it’s the ride we chose...sometimes the ride others chose for us. Either way we all get bucked off in the ride of life. The fall hurts so we hold on tighter, or maybe don’t even try again. But there is a better way...a way to get back on. This Cowboy look at Jesus’ Beatitudes teaches the choices to make to get back on when life bucks you off.

About the Author

I’ve journeyed with folks whose lives are changed when Jesus’ teaching is shared with them in a culturally relevant way. There are over a 1000 cowboy and country churches with over a million members. These and many others   will benefit from the book’s presentation of the Beatitudes through the unique Cowboy Culture lens.  My platform is growing and passionate. Our services are LIVE online and are regularly watched from 4 continents, and as many as 10 states of the USA. I am a regular speaker and clinician with The American Fellowship of Cowboy Churches, and the Executive Director endorses the book.

Content

Several years ago, I was asked to give a Sunday School discussion on the science involved in Creation. I have a broad science background, but knew very little about the subject at the time. Aware that my audience did not have advanced educational degrees, I looked for a book that laid out the scientific principles in easy to understand language. I could not find such a book. So, I wrote one.

About the Author
Steve Hamberg earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Calvin University; then went on to a PhD in Radiation Biophysics and later an MD degree, both from the University of Kansas. After his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Miami, he went on to practice as a medical missionary in Africa for four years. He is now retired following a number of years of service to his hometown community in Michigan. One of his continuing areas of interest is how do Christians understand what God has done in terms of the science that He created.

-Revenge is a dish best served cold – ice cold – and anyone who gets in the way of Kolonth won’t live for very long. Shocked faithful followers from three different lands discover their Lord has been murdered in the very beginning of THE ORBSTARS OF T’VARIN, my Christian fantasy novel, complete at 107,037 words. It’s a story that spans a thousand years with complex moving parts, similar to The Eternity Gate by Katherine Briggs, and full of epic adventure similar to the Burning White by Brent Weeks. One thousand years has elapsed since Lord T'var was murdered by Kolonth's father Manglor, and T'var returned alive from the battle and Manglor perished.  Now Kolonth is on the war path, determined to avenge his father and take his place as ruler of all of T’varin. Now sibling warriors, Wandarr and Randak, along with their friend, Barak, are on a race against time and temperature. In a desperate attempt to save T’varin, the trio use faith and the power of the Orbstars to battle Kolonth’s minions. Along the way, they meet friend and foe alike, while Randak faces the greatest challenge of all: the battle for his soul.

Teach Me to Pray" is a collection of true stories about children's prayers and their astonishing answers. The Riess children had heard all the usual Bible stories: the Parting of the Red Sea, Daniel in the Lion's Den, and David and Goliath. They also read books on prayer, such as “Touching Incidents and Remarkable Answers to Prayer” by Solomon B. Shaw, as well as the story of George Muller. Naturally, they prayed about everything and expected God would respond. How would He? Their parents had told them that God cares deeply for them, but He knows best, and sometimes our prayers aren’t answered the way we might want. As the children navigate life experiences, they will encounter some surprises in how their prayers are answered. Ryan sobbed as he prayed over his lifeless kitten, wondering if God would heal it. Janelle desperately wanted to take skating lessons, even though her parents told her it was impossible. Could God create a way for her? The children also prayed for a horse, with a "baby" horse. Were they disappointed with the answers they received? Did God come through for them? Read, and you will be amazed!

About the Author

Content

  When a young Ukrainian woman is forced to make the gut-wrenching choice between caring for her husband, a soldier severely injured in Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, or continuing to deliver aid to her country’s war-torn civilians, she seeks God’s guidance, then forgiveness, for the decision she makes. In Pulitzer Prize finalist Mark Di Ionno’s novel “Instruments of God,” Agnieszka (Aga) Kravchenkyha enters a dark period of spiritual crisis as Ukraine endures savage deaths and massive destruction. “Where is God?” she asks. “Why has He abandoned us?” As Ukraine fights for its freedom and existence, Aga joins the extensive civilian effort to supply their soldiers and bring food and medicine to people in bombed out areas. Her anger at God intensifies after husband Igor’s brain injury reduces him to a lifeless state. But a chance meeting with an American humanitarian helps her discover the part of God that resides in all of us and makes His presence known through her relentless aid work. She follows the American’s method of prayer and meditation to seek God’s counsel as she makes her choice. “Instruments of God” is the first book in a series of the same name based on “Dark Night of the Soul” by St. John of the Cross. These inspiring novels, centered on modern issues, prove that God can heal the spiritual wounds of contemporary despair, by allowing Him to illuminate His presence in our hearts and souls.

About the Author
I am a Pulitzer finalist in news commentary (2013) and life-long reporter and columnist. As lead columnist at The Newark Star-Ledger I was was well-known and respected for my integrity and had an estimated daily readership of one million people. I've commercially published five books, including two novels. "Gods of Wood & Stone" (Simon & Schuster 2017) and "The Last Newspaperman" (Plexus, 2012) both have Christian overtones. I have experienced everything in this novel firsthand, as I've made seven trips to Ukraine from the very first days of the war, and spent an aggregate nine months in Poland and Ukraine, while it was actively being bombed. The character of Aga, is a composite of many women I met who collectively are the untold story of the war. They grieve their husbands, sons and nephews but remain dedicated to the cause of their freedom, doing the hard work of collecting and delivering humanitarian aid and supplies to war-torn villages and soldiers on the front-lines. Because of my experiences, I have a long reach into the Ukrainian diaspora and intend to promote the book as part of my fundraising, with any of my profits going to an orphanage in Ukraine I help support.

If not for the faithful few, evil would have triumphed, and the people of Kish forever destroyed. This is how it happened. Slowly, insidiously, subtly – but for all of that, no less dangerously. The sages have long told us that evil triumphs when good men do nothing. It has also been said that in great crises, great men arise. Taliesin, legendary ‘bearer of the sword’ was such a man; the only warrior to wear the ring of King Lotar upon the finger of his right hand – a token of esteem for his valour in battle and for the faithfulness of his character. It all happened in the age of Zoan, before the great ice came and the great beasts departed. As a boy, Taliesin had sailed away to war with his king at the age of nineteen. He returned to Kish five years later as a man. And as a man prepared to stand for right and for justice, even if it meant standing alone. But good men who stand alone, are never truly alone. Taliesin had learned this. Gwrtheyrn – the name the Kish had given to the one true God – was his rock… and that made him immovable. (I originally wrote this for middle age a few years ago, and up as a response to the spiritual confusion caused by the sexual abuse in the church scandals and the loss of confidence in spiritual authority. The story is becoming, in my view, more relevant with each passing day and with each further deterioration in western culture. It is an allegorical bugle call for young people to embrace the glory of character, righteousness and spiritual strength.  P.S. There is a sequel heralding the return of the King.)  

About the Author
As a lifetime counsellor and teacher in the academic field, I have seen the changes in society, the terrible consequences and the continuing societal denial. I have worked in addictions, forensics and mental health, and have been dismayed that churches have in many cases, been silent on the issues affecting our children and youth. In Taliesin Returns (and the sequel) I have laboured to provide and alternative role model to which developing minds can aspire. I have written several secular but pro-social fiction stories, currently submitted to general publishers, and a historical fiction of mine with a strong evangelical message was short listed for the Australian Christian Book of the Year in 2019. If Taliesin sees the light of the day, I will be actively involved in promotion in the churches.

word count: 21623

Content

With Jesus from Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday: An Eight Day Course in Leadership (working title) focuses on a key time period that all four canonical gospels recognize (the four gospels commit 30 percent of their narrative to it). While Evangelical Christianity tends to focus on what is popularly known as “Easter weekend,” Friday through Sunday, the biblical gospels place their combined focus beginning with Palm Sunday, also known as Jesus’ triumphal entry, and continuing through to Jesus’ crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection on the eighth day. Throughout that eight-day time frame, Jesus has a unique and specific mission to fulfill and so the words that he says and actions that he takes have significant implications for leadership, especially in difficult and extreme situations. This book takes an approach similar to that of Talmadge Boston’s recent book, How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons From our Top Presidents. Like Boston does with former presidents with proven leadership qualities, this books seeks to discover general qualities, specific decisions and actions, especially actionable insight, distilling leadership lessons from Jesus’ words and deeds, useful for those whom God has called to lead His church and/or Christian institution, etc.

About the Author
I am professor of Biblical Studies and Director of the PhD program in Spanish (B.A., M.Div., Th.M., Ph.D., D.D.) at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS). My credentials for this book stem from my fifty years’ experience as a seminary professor, vice president, academic dean, as well as a committed local church pastor in New Mexico, Texas, and California. While there are many good books that have been written about the leadership principles Christ exhibits throughout His ministry, this book is unique because it takes a more focused look at the last eight days of His ministry (which all four gospels emphasize). This book investigates at a more granular level the words and deeds of Jesus, beginning with His entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to his resurrection—eight days—as he moved to fulfill the task inherent in His atoning sacrifice. As such, this book would be helpful to any Christian who is called to lead, especially in trying circumstances. This would include anyone leading a church, a Christian institution like a university or seminary, a denominational agency, a nonprofit Christian organization, or even a local church Sunday school. The possibilities are endless.

The year is AD 28, and Lucifer reigns as the Prince of this world. Ever since he was cast down from heaven, Lucifer has toiled relentlessly to expose the children of Adam for what they really are—feckless, rotten, and corrupt—in hopes of proving to the Most High God that His only error was creating them. Everything changes when the voice of the Most High fills the earth, heralding in the Angel of the Lord made flesh in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. Lucifer fears the Angel of the Lord’s arrival will usher in the day of final judgment. However, he soon discovers that Jesus has only comer to teach the children of Adam a new doctrine. But when even the disciples of Jesus begin to work miracles and cast out demons, Lucifer devises a plan to turn the whole world against Jesus, beginning with his Apostles Peter and Judas. Lucifer surmises that with the death of Jesus at the hands of the children of Adam, the Most High will have no choice but to see their true nature, admit His mistake, and welcome Lucifer, the once-favored son of heaven, back home, but God has other plans.

After their home nation collapses, five men follow a mysterious radio transmission to meet the enigmatic Joe Aeon, who promises them a way out. Unable to tell if he’s a spiritual messiah or crackpot salesman, the men undertake a road trip across a land full of supernatural wonders and horrors in search of four sacred artifacts. While battling a world gone mad and the forces that want to keep it that way, the men form a bond not only with each other, but with something at once infuriating, baffling, and redeeming: a light that points to an end beyond the punishing road. An epic full of action, sweeping landscapes, thinly-disguised Americana, supernatural lore, and memorable banter, Hidden Under the Dark Heavens is a modern fantasy that will speak to men of faith watching a world slowly going mad.

As a seasoned military chaplain and leadership coach, my days were full of conversations with leaders who accomplished monumental goals only to find that their purpose still eludes them. They often wonder what it was all for. An antidote to lessening this wondering among leaders is living and leading purposefully. True purpose is a complex tapestry woven from the threads of soul care, comprising spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational rhythms. By cultivating holistic soul care, leaders can establish a flourishing personal and professional life giving our lives meaning and fulfilment. Leadership from Within is holistic requiring evaluation and work in all four critical life rhythms and is essential to a well-tended soul and purposeful leadership.

Amid shattered dreams, and unravelling the lies of those she thought she knew, Meribeth holds tightly to her faith in God’s illuminating light. But will God give her eyes to see the truth? Or will heartbreak and the sins of others keep Meribeth from the man she has grown to love? Book #1 of the Southern Cross Secrets series

Think a Bob Goff book for teens. If you work in youth ministry or are a Christian parent of a teen you’ve probably seen the gloom statistics. Teenagers in America are leaving the church in record numbers and the jury is out on if and when they will come back. Perhaps part of the reason is the version of Christianity many teens grew up with feels boring and lifeless. Certainly, the life God invites teens to is more than staying out of trouble and being good, but if there is more, what does that look like? What would a compelling life of adventure following Jesus look like for today’s Christian teen? This is the question my book attempts to answer. This is the book I want every teenager going through my youth ministry to read. Through short, engaging, chapters I attempt to paint a picture of what a life following Jesus could look like. I challenge teens to live a life that is not necessarily easy, but a life that is full of meaning and adventure. I believe youth pastors and parents will find this a valuable resource to read with their teenagers, and teens will find this engaging enough to stay with it until the end.

Oliver Thornwell leaves for Vietnam convinced by his wealthy father that his young wife, Kathryn, took money from them to file for an annulment. His helicopter crashes in Vietnam and he is the lone survivor. He is rescued by the native guerilla troops and is nursed back to health by Thuan, a Vietnamese widow. With no way to return home, he accepts his new life and marries her. Devasted by the actions of Oliver’s parents, Kathryn threw his parent’s money on the floor of Oliver’s room to flee their home. Expecting Oliver’s child, and fearing his parents, she raises her daughter, Allison, in secret. 18 years later, Allison decides to contact her estranged paternal grandparents, feeling they should know about her. Through Allison, God moves to bring about reconciliation and forgiveness, restoring a fractured family. Then Oliver’s parents receive the astounding news that after all these years, Oliver is alive and returning home with the help of brave believers from the underground church in Northern Vietnam. Remembering the past and uneasy about his reception, Oliver, now a widower, returns to a daughter he didn’t know he had, bringing a thirteen-year-old half-Vietnamese daughter he cannot leave behind.  

About the Author
I have written 4 Biblical Fiction novels for Revell, and 5 Biblical Fiction novels for Whitaker House, along with a book on Halloween they commissioned. Also two Contemporary Fiction novels, and with a musical friend have written an Easter Cantata and five songs which are on ArrangeMe.com. My agent passed away this last December after an association of 15 years. With Covid and her illnesses, my last book, Rahab, Woman of Jericho came out in August of 2020. I write a weekly blog which my webmaster puts on  Facebook, and I post information and excerpts from my books to my Facebook following. I hadn’t planned on writing another Biblical Fiction as the market for them varies. This novel, historical fiction set in the 1960’s,  is dear to my heart and I decided to see if I could find a publisher for it.

title: The Passover Trilogy

author: Ryan W

category: fiction • subcategory: biblical • date submitted: 9.18.2024 • author id: WiRyTh23424

word count: 150000

Content

This three-part work follows a sweeping arc through the events (both real and imagined) of the First-Century Church. Observe Passover with John and James, Pentecost with Priscilla and Aquila, and the Feast of Tabernacles with these and many other dynamic characters. There is no more dramatic and enlightening way to engage with the original heroes of the Messianic Age, and to gain insight into the role the major Jewish feasts have played in the formation of our Faith, even to this day. Each book begins with a gripping fictional story, reading between the lines of Scripture and Church History to weave a multi-dimensional tale of fear and hope, of division and reconciliation, of death and new life. Following the story, each book includes a detailed look at the featured Jewish festival, providing keen insight into the biblical basis for the appointed times, and their influence on the lives of the characters, and the lives of all those who seek a fresh revelation of God in Scripture.

About the Author
Dr. Lon A. Wiksell holds a Master of Divinity degree from Oral Roberts University, and a Doctor of Ministry degree in Messianic Judaism from The King’s University. Lon has served in ordained ministry as a pastor and teacher for more than thirty years. The Rev. Ryan Wiksell holds a Master of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary, and has served as a music minister, church planting pastor, and now as an Episcopal priest in Independence, MO. This Trilogy is most likely to gain attention in conferences focused on the Messianic Jewish movement, of which there are several. Paid placement or sponsorship in these conferences would likely have a strong ROI.
