The Truth About Marriage, Divorce And The Remarriage Adultery Epidemic Offered By Evangelical Outreach Dan Corner VS Pat Robertson Of The 700 Club

Corner is a former pastor and Christian author who, over four decades has preached perhaps 1000 or more sermons and has written hundreds of Christian articles and a number of books of vital importance to Christians.

Dan Corner posted a somewhat shocking recording of Pat Robertson of the 700 Club on his website. In that recording, Robertson made a comment regarding an Alzheimer's wife and her husband, whom she doesn't recognize anymore; with the husband who has started seeing another woman: "I know it sounds cruel, but if he is going to do something he should divorce her and start all over again."

Divorce in the US is at an all-time high. The numbers shown by the National Center for Health Statistics are staggering. Even more unfortunate is the fact that some people have divorced and remarried more than once - some many times. Therefore it is important that Christians understand the spiritual ramifications of divorce and make good decisions based on Biblical truth.

But finding that truth can be extremely difficult, especially when we hear conflicting points of view and contradictory opinions from pastors, church leaders and others, all of whom seem to be able to find something in the Bible to shore up their respective positions. Regarding divorce and remarriage, some say "yes", some say "no", and some say "maybe, but". However Dan Corner believes the answer is very clear. He recently had this to say:

The Bible declares that remarriage while one's former spouse is still living constitutes adultery (Rom. 7:2,3). Divorce and remarriage have become so widespread, especially since the advent of "no fault divorce", that over 50% of married people divorce in the USA; Belgium is even worse with over 70% of their married people getting divorced.

It is typical for remarriage adulterers to cite polygamist King David in an attempt to justify their own remarriage (even though David was never remarried and Bathsheba was a widow when they married). Furthermore, such arguments are all nullified by what the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus, who knew all about King David, taught:

Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery (Luke 16:18).

He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery" (Mark 10:11,12).

The two people of opposite sex, whom God has joined together and have become one flesh through marriage, are bound together as husband and wife for life. God's eternal word calls that the law of marriage:

For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man (Rom. 7:2,3).

That same essential "until death do we part" scriptural truth (Mark 10:7-9) is repeated here:

A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord (1 Cor. 7:39).

Divorce does not end a marriage! Only physical death ends a marriage. People often wonder how the aforementioned verses can parallel the exception clauses in Mt. 5:32 and 19:9 ("except for marital unfaithfulness"), but in their bewilderment, they all too often overlook Mt. 1:19. That verse is where Joseph was going to "divorce" Mary because he wrongly thought she was guilty of sexual sin during their betrothal, that is, BEFORE they were actually married. Again, Joseph was going to "divorce" Mary, which is the same Greek word found in Mt. 5:32 and 19:9, before they were actually married.

Furthermore, Jesus taught such remarriage adultery is a continuous tense sin. It is not a one-time sin, which can be confessed and forgotten about, all while continuing to indulge in sexual union. Such soul-damning adultery is committed every time sexual union occurs, because at least one of the two parties is still married to another living person. The lethal seriousness of unforgiven adultery is shown in 1 Cor. 6:9,10 and Rev. 21:8, where such sin will drag both parties to the lake of fire, just on that basis alone. What the many wolves in sheep's clothing say about the permissibility of remarriage after divorce does not change the written word of God, which forbids such practice and is detestable in God’s sight.

John the Baptist was beheaded over his preaching about the illegitimate marriage between Herod and Herodias. The truth is, Herodias was still Philip's wife (Mt. 14:3,4; Mark 6:17-19). Hence, Herod and Herodias were committing adultery by their sexual union because their marriage was not legitimate before God.

This vital message is not just for people in remarriage adultery now, who desperately need to repent and get forgiven, but also for single people before they become entangled in an emotional bear trap. Marriage is a very serious commitment; only death terminates the bonds of marriage. Marriage is not some trivial arrangement to try out only to have both parties go their own way and try again with different people when problems arise.

Finally, please know people in remarriage adultery are not cancelling out their adultery by going to church, praying, reading the bible, giving to the poor, soul winning or by any other church activity. Adulterers must stop their sexual union and seek God's forgiveness to be cleansed. If you have found yourself in such an adulterous situation, which is condemned by God, you must act while you still can. If you die in your sins, you'll be eternally lost. There is no Once Saved Always Saved. Pass this teaching on to those you care about.

Dan Corner, a former pastor, is the author of a number of books including 'The Believer's Conditional Security: Eternal Security Refuted', 'The Myth of Eternal Security' and 'Is this the Mary of the Bible?'. He also provides a massive amount of information on his websites.

Exclusive Never Before Seen Interview With Coach John Wooden Offered During March Madness By Keynote Speaker Rocky Romanella Of 3SIXTY Management Services

A highly sought keynote speaker and trainer, Romanella is founder and principal of 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. He has over 40 years of leadership at Fortune 100's and most recently served as Chief Executive Officer and Director for UniTek Global Services, after retiring from a 36-year career with UPS.

To celebrate March Madness 2019, top motivational keynote speaker Rocky Romanella of 3SIXTY Management Services recently posted a never before seen, exclusive interview with Coach John Wooden.

John Wooden was both a very successful coach and a wise and beloved teacher. He achieved an unparalleled record of success. According to his website: Ten NCAA's Men's Basketball Championships, seven in consecutive years, 16 appearances in the Final Four, a record of 88 consecutive victories, 38 straight victories in NCAA tournament play, four perfect seasons, 8 perfect PAC 8 Conference seasons . . .it goes on and on. In short, he became a legend. But what is perhaps more important is his reputation as a wise teacher who clearly understood what is required to be an effective leader.

Bill Walton is quoted on the site as saying "Coach Wooden never talked about winning and losing, but rather about the effort to win. He rarely talked about basketball, but generally about life. He never talked about strategy, statistics or plays, but rather about people and character. Coach Wooden never tired of telling us that once you become a good person, then you have a chance of becoming a good basketball player."

Rocky Romanella of 3SIXTY Management Services LLC, a consummate leader in his own right, had the unique privilege of interviewing Coach Wooden. He has made that never seen before interview available in the Coach's Corner section of his website.

"As I left this memorable and moving conversation with Coach Wooden, my epiphany was the concept of Legacy. As we grow and develop, take on new challenges or simply move into a new phase of our lives, we will be faced with complications and adversity that may set us back. Honesty, perseverance, and trustworthiness will become major factors in overcoming these obstacles and creating our personal brand and our legacy.

"Along the way, we will come to a decision point. Our choice is simple but profound. Our choices are LEAD, FOLLOW, or GET OUT OF THE WAY. If we choose to lead, we will need to be an honest and trusted leader. If we are focused and ready to face these complex business challenges and personal changes with discipline, determination, honesty of purpose, and in an ethical manner we will be successful.

"Whether we realize it or not, we are all here to determine what our real intent is in life. For each of us it may be different. For each person it may be different: whether you are a spouse, father, mother, leader, or mentor; to have a legacy, it is important that we leave the place a little better than found it.

"Purpose-driven people put their morals, character, and honesty first. Without purpose, we drift. With purpose, we steer. You have a responsibility to yourself and to others to use your best judgment, weigh your options carefully, and make the right decisions—even if they’re not the most favorable or popular, even when no one is watching! When you do that you honor yourself and your values.

"Wherever your path takes you, know that your trustworthiness is your highest honor. That will be your legacy. As a person your core beliefs are not what you would like them to be, but rather what actually lives and breathes in you as a person. The good news is that you will have many opportunities in a career and in life to demonstrate these values and beliefs, but only one chance to get it right each time.

"Live your word. Leave a legacy."

The exclusive interview is available at https://www.3sixtymanagementservices.com.

Rocky Romanella, now one of the country's top motivational keynote speakers, in many ways, follows the general path of Coach Wooden, encouraging us to apply the concepts of Balanced Leadership to not only business situations, but many phases of our lives. His highly praised book, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership', brings rock-solid leadership advice to the forefront through an engaging and entertaining storytelling format. Many of the Balanced Leadership principles in the book also serve as keystone concepts in his engaging and highly entertaining keynote presentations and breakout sessions.

Coach Wooden was a supporter of the Jimmy V Foundation and in memory of Coach Valvano, who passed away April 28, 1993, 3SIXTY is remembering Coach Valvano and his fight by donating one dollar to the Jimmy V Fund to find the cure for cancer for each copy of 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' sold.

In addition to 'Tighten The Lug Nuts', Romanella offers a wealth of information at the company's website, all at no charge. These include a dedicated podcast resource page and a new video library. These resources allow visitors to explore a variety of important concepts quickly. They provide professionally produced content that can be incorporated into meetings, company gatherings or can perhaps be utilized to create in-house presentations.

Romanella has garnered praise for his ability to connect to a wide range of audiences with his storytelling ability and innate charisma. Richard Snowden, President of RavenHouse International said, "An engaging speaker and facilitator, Rocky leads business executives to break-through results through break-through thinking." Conrad Swanson, Sr. VP Agency Development of Arpin Van Lines Inc. stated, "Rocky inspired many to look inward and improve the way they operate their businesses and lead their team members."

A winner of the UPS Chairman’s Award for Excellence, Romanella has created a legacy of motivating teams to achieve their best. He pulls in audiences with real life stories from an illustrious career spanning nearly 40 years at one of the most recognized and admired brands in the world. Rocky brings leadership expertise in supply chain, logistics and transportation, retail, sales and operational excellence strategy, telecommunications engineering/construction management and installation. Having led many company sales efforts, rapidly building brands, restructuring events and developing a culture needed to integrate past acquisitions, he inspires audiences to create a unified company with one vision.

Rocky Romanella is available for keynote speaking engagements and media interviews. He can be contacted using the information below or by email at rockyromanella@gmail.com. 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' is available at book outlets everywhere. Full information on 3SIXTY Management Services is available at the company's website at http://www.3sixtymanagementservices.com.

Finding The Best Restaurants In Tokyo Is The Primary Focus Of Chef Kelly Crow's Tokyo-Table

Tokyo-Table is the definitive source for dining enthusiasts in Tokyo, Japan.

Finding a great restaurant in any large city can be a real challenge. This challenge is complicated by the fact that the definition of "great restaurant" is very subjective. Some of us prefer haute cuisine restaurants, while others may prefer simple, everyday food. Yes, we can pore over Internet listings or ask the locals for a recommendation, but there is still this nagging feeling of uncertainty every time we venture out, as we sometimes may not have real confidence in our sources of information. There are just too many unknown variables in play.

Tokyo has a stellar reputation as one of the great food capitals of the world, so much so that some would say it's not possible to get a bad meal in Tokyo. Nevertheless, no matter how diligent we might be in our research, we still could end up having a bad experience, couldn't we?

Tokyo-Table can answer all those questions. Tokyo-Table and the online Tokyo Restaurant Guide are the brainchild of Kelly Crow. Kelly trained at Le Cordon Bleu and earned the highest certification, Le Grand Diplome, for mastering both Cuisine and Patisserie. She also holds a degree from UCLA in International Economics. She recently addressed this issue in a post entitled, "You Can Get a Bad Meal in Tokyo".

"I’ve often heard, 'You can’t get a bad meal in Tokyo.' And it’s true that Tokyo has an abundance of great dining opportunities. But there are times I’ve left a restaurant less than satisfied with the experience. Maybe I felt the value I received for the price was too low, or the quality of the preparation wasn’t high enough. And since many people exploring the dining opportunities in Tokyo are visiting for just a short time and often after traveling a great distance, the opportunity cost of spending one of your precious meal times at a less than satisfying restaurant is even higher.

"My goal at Tokyo Table it to help you avoid any missteps and have confidence that you will come away from every meal in Tokyo with a positive, memorable experience, whether you are a long time Tokyo resident or just visiting for the first time.

"As a friend of mine likes to say, 'You kiss a few frogs when looking for princes.' And I’ve had my share of frogs! And though Tokyo-table will never write about restaurants that I find unsatisfactory, I will share a few of my experiences from the past four years that didn’t live up to my standards. As a professionally trained Le Cordon Bleu chef, I seek out restaurants that I find have a high level of culinary expertise, a discernible cultural element, and value for the experience.

Too expensive

Paying too much for a meal is a relative judgment. A high price is many times justified to create the ambiance, acquire a location, and recruit highly skilled staff. But when the experience is rushed, the waitstaff is non-existent, or you feel you the restaurant is just trading off their international reputation, it’s not a place I would recommend.

Wrong Cultural Fit

Sometimes I will recommend a restaurant that might be of the highest quality and a potential memorable meal, but may not be for everyone. This is where Tokyo-Table can help direct you to the best meals.

For example, many visitors and even long-time residents are looking for restaurants that are Japanese in spirit but still cater to Western palates. Others are looking for a complete immersion experience while dining alongside Japanese locals. Each can be found, but knowing what you expect before you make a reservation will make for a truly memorable event.

Related to culture, each restaurant has a unique concept. The story can be simple or elaborate. Either way, it needs to be clear and find a way to elevate the experience, not detract. For example, my favorite lunch places are humble establishments, “Mom and Pops” who are serving traditional food from the heart. Their joy in sharing simple, authentic and delicious food is evident in every bite.

Quality Issues

No restaurant is perfect every day. And every restaurant can have a bad day. But sometimes the quality is too is just too substandard to give a recommendation. Even at highly recommended restaurants I have had burned vegetables, tough sushi, and undercooked pasta. This should have been noticed in the kitchen well before it came out to my table.

Food should also have flavor, and each item should have its own unique taste. More than once I have reveled in the beautiful creation on my plate, only to have the food lack discernible flavor. Personally, I find this most disappointing, especially if it’s the desserts!

Tokyo’s Remarkable Food Scene

And though I could continue with a few more examples, what I really want to share are the hundreds of memorable meals I’ve had in Tokyo. This city is teeming with culinary energy. Restaurants seem to gain fame and followers overnight as the culinary landscape continues to grow and expand.

The full text of the piece is available at the Tokyo-Table site.

In addition to the signature Tokyo Restaurant Guide, Tokyo-Table offers Tokyo dining tips (what you need to know BEFORE you dine in Tokyo), and a blog that offers information on individual Tokyo restaurants including cuisine, neighborhood, awards, price ranges, extra charges and links to each restaurant.

Kelly Crow is available for media interviews and can be contacted using the information below, or by email at gourmet@tokyo-table.com. More information is available at her website at http://www.tokyo-table.com.

Helping Young Refugees, Immigrants And Kids Who Have Been Bullied - Smart Tools For Life Announces Fundraising Campaign


Smart Tools for Life provides memorable and engaging books and music for young children that enhance their “smarts” for problem-solving, empathy, and compassion, and sink deeply - for life - into children's hearts and minds.

Every day 44,000 people become refugees due to climate change, war, etc. Half are children. Incredibly, many people don't care. When fear-mongering is rampant, and hatred of “the other” is being modeled from the highest levels of government, what are we teaching our kids?

Creating a compassionate point-of-view toward others and stimulating kind actions by children is a clear solution. One organization, Smart Tools for Life, has a unique and powerful way to implement that solution. Their new kids' book, 'Immigrant, Refugee, & Stranger -- The Barnyard Buddies Meet a Newcomer', inspires kindness toward newcomers, including the new kid in school, as well as immigrants, and refugees.

"Whether or not people are warmly welcomed in a new location or maligned and mistreated, fundamentally comes down to the attitude of each individual they encounter," stated Julie Penshorn, author of the new book. "These attitudes are formed as children learn and grow, and become laws when they are decision-makers. Hate and indifference have no place in our complicated world. Our work is to provide resources that change hearts, minds, and ultimately future governments, by educating children in empathy, compassion, and more today."

"Since attitudes of adults are difficult to change, we provide guidance for young kids, both residents, and those coming to our country. They learn to interact with others with kindness as a prerequisite, not an afterthought. This learning sinks deeply into their hearts and minds, and will influence their behaviors as culture-creating teens and adults."

Penshorn's new children’s book addresses the challenges that newcomers have when entering communities and classrooms. Readers are moved toward thoughtful and compassionate action. Embracing and accepting new people has complications. This story guides children to explore the questions around this topic. There are many opportunities for deep thinking and finding ‘compassion-smart’ solutions.

Thought-provoking questions are asked in the Parent and Educator Guide at the end of the book. The 'Conversation Starters' and 'Activities' provide several lesson-plans based on the conundrums provided by the story."

The Global Giving fundraising campaign will help accomplish all of these goals in a number of ways, including providing no-charge print books and ebooks, readings at libraries, classroom visits and a number of marketing/outreach programs. The Global Giving campaign is available at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/compassion-smart-education-immigrants-refugees.

“This book is a great resource for families and teachers looking for materials that enhance decision-making. It supports teachers dealing with a new child in class, or perhaps immigrants, or refugees. We think these are critical discussions to have in today’s world,” said Rebecca Janke, M.Ed., the book’s content editor.

Penshorn's previous children's book about peace, 'I Can See Peace', won the Human Relations Peace Book Of The Year Award in 2018.

She encourages those seeking more ideas to visit her website: http://www.smarttoolsforlife.com. The Smart Tools for Life products include kids’ books and music, conflict resolution cubes to help children express their feelings, and wearables. There is also a free, downloadable coloring page for kids, based on the flagship children's book, 'The Barnyard Buddies Stop For Peace.'

Penshorn also makes her books and music available for corporate sponsorships and as fundraising tools for like-minded schools and preschools. She asks that anyone who would like to learn more contact her by email.

Julie is a the Director of the nonprofit, Growing Communities for Peace and champion of its Smart Tools for Life project. Penshorn co-authored a preK-3 curriculum on conflict resolution, complete with hands-on-learning tools, that is in use in over 13,000 locations. She now focuses her unique talents on children’s books and music and a blog-based approach to supporting peace literacy and building a culture of peace.

Penshorn is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at julie@smarttoolsforlife.com. Donations are being accepted at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/compassion-smart-education-immigrants-refugees. More information about the books, music and other products, including a video about the campaign, is available on the Smart Tools for Life website at https://www.smarttoolsforlife.com.

About Smart Tools for Life:

Smart Tools for Life is an ongoing project of the nonprofit, Growing Communities for Peace. It provides memorable and engaging books and music for young children that enhance their “smarts” for problem-solving, empathy, and compassion, and sink deeply -- for life -- into children's hearts and minds. It makes it easy to bring social skills for peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding, to young children, thereby encouraging more harmonious, sustainable relationships with others and the planet.

The organization’s materials are designed to develop peace literacy as they educate, entertain, and empower all those involved to strengthen families, classrooms, and neighborhoods. They also provide other teacher and parent education to support and maintain a culture of peace.

Los Angeles And The Inland Empire May Be Due For The Big One According To Ellen G. White Says Author, Physician Dr. Richard Ruhling

Dr. Richard Ruhling is an expert on Biblical prophecy and is also the author of 'The Alpha & Omega Bible Code'

Ellen G. White is a familiar name to many of us, especially those of us on the West Coast. She is renowned for playing two roles in history - as a healer for her forward thinking approach to modern medicine and as a prophet.

White was the founder of Loma Linda University. White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles is named for her.

Loma Linda University (LLU) was featured in the National Geographic Cover Story on Longevity (Nov, 2005) as the only “Blue Zone” for health in the western hemisphere, and NIH granted $40 million to LLU for a study to learn why that community lives about 7 years longer than other non-smoking groups. This was mainly a result of Ellen White’s health writings, 150 years ago.

White is also considered to be a prophet by Seventh-day Adventists, as she wrote extensively on Christian topics. Eventually she came to regard her Seventh-day Adventist Church as in apostasy so that most of her books for her last 30 years were non-denominational and did not contain ‘Seventh-day Adventist.’

Many others who are familiar with her writings also regard her as a modern-day prophet. Maybe it’s a coincidence that her visit to NYC included a ‘9-11’ vision of “tall buildings…consumed as if made of pitch” as was recorded in Vol 9, pgs 11-13 of her Testimonies for the Church.

With that kind of ‘track record,’ southern California residents might be concerned about a vision she had when visiting Loma Linda. “Buildings, great and small, were falling to the ground…. Many lives were blotted out…It seemed that Judgment day had come.”

Some detractors say that Ellen White was merely writing about the San Francisco Earthquake that occurred then, but the context seems otherwise. She wrote, “Through His prophet Zephaniah, the Lord specifies judgments He will bring on evil-doers.” Zephaniah 1 cites “the day of the Lord” that Bible students understand to be end-times and it may be impending. How so?

“The sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood before the day of the Lord.” Joel 2:31. The word for “before’ is paniym--it means facing . A parallel quote for “the day of the Lord” is 1Thess 5:2,3. It’ comes when they say ‘Peace and safety’ like the Iran Nuclear Treaty or the UN theme for 2017.

“The day of the Lord” is also signaled if Jerusalem is compassed with armies, Zech 14. Titus did so at Passover in 70 AD and other factors point to this spring. If it happens, this warning needs more focus.

As regards her approach to medicine, Dr. Clive McCay, Professor of Nutrition at Cornell University, reviewed White's writings circa 1960 and said she did not incorporate the fads or fallacies of her day and “there is no better overall guide.” Ellen White was against the use of drugs and did not want pharmacology taught at Loma Linda.

As a board-certified internist, Ruhling appreciates a conversation with his father 65 years ago. His father said that 85% of his patients would get well, no matter what he did; 10% he helped, and 5% would die, no matter what he did. If those figures are applied to what Ellen White wanted, the emphasis on foods and natural remedies for door-to-door missionaries would have helped 95% who wouldn’t need to go back month after month for a prescription to relieve their symptoms, as adverse drug reactions are now making medical care a leading cause of illness and death.

Eventually administrators yielded to AMA pressure to teach pharmacology to become accredited, so in spite of White's “No,” they did so and Loma Linda became a regular medical school. Now during a time when there is a crisis in healthcare, Loma Linda is unable to demonstrate the benefits of drugless care.

Dr. Richard Ruhling taught Health Science at Loma Linda. His book, '9-11', available on Amazon, shows how Christ’s allusion to Numbers 9:10,11 in closing parables offer insights for how end-times begin. The book is occasionally offered at no cost at Ruhling's website and/or Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZLF7LS .

About Dr. Richard Ruhling:

Dr. Richard Ruhling attended a Bible college with a Religion major. The end times have been a special interest for him since attending a prophecy conference 30 years ago. He is an expert on Biblical prophecy and the author of 'The Alpha & Omega Bible Code', 'The Earthquake and the 7 Seals' and 'The Destruction of Jerusalem: A Sign for US', and 'God Bless America?'.

Lenten Season Theme And Mystery Are The Focus Of 'A Very Private Grave' By Award Winning Author Of British History Donna Fletcher Crow

Crow writes meticulously researched, entertaining novels of romance, history and mystery in an engaging you-are-there style that allows readers to live the history.

For Christians, Lent is the season of preparation before Easter. While many books have been written about Lent, very few thrillers have been written with Lent as an integral part of the storyline. 'A Very Private Grave', Book 1 of the Monastery Murder Mystery Series by award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow, is one of the latter. This combination results in a work Church Libraries Journal called "compelling" and "masterful."

'A Very Private Grave' is a contemporary novel with a thoroughly modern heroine who must learn some age-old truths in order to solve the mystery and save her own life. Felicity Howard, a young American studying in a remote monastery in England, is devastated when she finds her beloved Fr. Dominic bludgeoned to death and Fr. Antony, her church history lecturer, soaked in his blood. She and Fr. Antony must flee a murderer and follow clues across a sacred landscape. The narrative deftly mixes intellectual puzzles, spiritual aspiration, romance and the solving of riddles ancient and modern. It is a double-pronged journey for Felicity: spiritually through Lent and physically through ancient holy sites in northern England.

“I had long wanted to tell the story of these ancient saints in a modern context. When our daughter went off to study theology in a monastery in Yorkshire I knew I had my setting. On my many visits there I became acquainted with their unique life style and spirituality. I hope I have been able to convey some of my love of the beauty and holiness I found there.

“Because I love to work with contrasts introducing a particularly brutal murder offered a way to highlight the peace of the monastery while showing the evil that can lurk in the most unlikely places. Beginning the story on Ash Wednesday was the perfect vehicle to expose this contradiction.”

'A Very Private Grave' has received rave reviews from reviewers and readers alike:

"With a bludgeoned body in Chapter 1, and a pair of intrepid amateur sleuths, A Very Private Grave qualifies as a traditional mystery. But this is no mere formulaic whodunit: it is a Knickerbocker Glory of a thriller. At its centre is a sweeping, page-turning quest -- in the steps of St. Cuthbert -- through the atmospherically-depicted North of England, served up with dollops of Church history and lashings of romance. In this novel, Donna Fletcher Crow has created her own niche within the genre of clerical mysteries." - Kate Charles, author of Deep Waters

"A compelling thriller, as well as a masterful mystery, the mental gymnastics will have you breathlessly soaking in British and church history as you puzzle through a satisfying spiritual adventure with romantic, quirky characters. Anglophiles and history buffs will love it." - Church Libraries Journal

"If I could give this book 6 stars ****** I would. I just couldn't put it down, it was fast paced, I learned lots of church and English history, and I liked the characters. I can't wait for the next Monastery Murder to be published." - Linda from Brisbane, Australia on GoodReads

Other books in the five part series include 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary' and 'An All-Consuming Fire'.

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 45 books, mostly novels of British history. The award-winning 'Glastonbury' is her best-known work, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched,", "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."

The Lord Danvers series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'. Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.

The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'.

The Daughters of Courage, 'Kathryn', 'Elizabeth' and 'Stephanie' is a pioneer family saga based on the stories of Crow's own family and other Idaho pioneers in the Kuna, Nampa and Boise area.

Donna Fletcher Crow's work has received a number of high-level industry honors. These include:

Glastonbury, First Place, Historical Fiction, National Federation of Press Women Award of Merit

What Would Jesus Say About Today's Christianity, The Catholic Church Scandal And American Mega Ministers - Terry Christian Issues Statement

Terry Christian's book, 'What Did Jesus Say? The Seven Messages from the Master' contains over 500 Bible verses spoken directly by Jesus as recorded in the red-letter edition of the New King James Bible, organized by subject, without added interpretations, commentaries or opinions.

Nearly every day new headlines regarding the Catholic Church scandal appear on practically every media site in America. Our radio and television stations offer up endless broadcasts from yet more "mega-ministers". Today there are thousands of different Christian "manmade" religions worldwide. Is this progress?

It's said that all things change. But the one thing that never changes is the word of God. For Christians, including modern-day Christians, this must be the starting point; the rock from which we form our collective and individual points of view.

Terry Christian is the author of "What Did Jesus Say?" His book is a compelling overview of the sayings of Jesus - with nothing "man-made" added. He recently issued a statement concerning the state of today's Christianity. That statement reads in part:

"What would Jesus say about today's Christianity, the scandal within the Roman Catholic Church, the gluttony of American mega-ministers and the other 30,000 different Christian ‘manmade’ religions worldwide?

"I believe the first thing Jesus would say is, ‘WHY DO YOU CALL ME LORD, and not do what I say? For A Kingdom or House Divided cannot stand and not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord will enter Kingdom of Heaven’.

"To the RCC, Jesus would say: ‘Whoever causes one of these little ones to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea’.

"There are many things Jesus would say especially to American Christians who have added greatly to the divisions of Christianity worldwide, with pastors and evangelists misleading and fleecing their flock. Since the RCC is protected with wealth and its priests are cash poor, they have their own troubles in dishonesty among their inner structure. The organized corruption with the man-made religion of Christianity that started between 325AD- 397AD hasn’t stopped and will continue as long as divisions among them exists.

3 Things Hurting Christianity Today :

#1. Mega Prosperity (Personality Driven) Preachers : As Christians we need to be more aware of those representing the teachings of Jesus. We must ask ourselves - do they teach by example or are they just a voice expounding from biblical memory of scripture without true understanding and life application. When we forget our past we’re doomed to repeat it.

"For the record - I’m not new to the Mega Christian Movements in America. As a boy I was raised on Oral Roberts and his multi-million dollar healing hospital and Jimmy Swaggart's jet vs Billy Graham’s peaceful conservative lifestyle.

"Then as I got older, I can remember watching the rise of Richard Roberts, Robert Schuller, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, PTL (Jim Bakker), Paul Crouch’s TBN, Paula White, Joyce Meyer, Creflow Dollar, TD Jakes, Mike Murdocks and now of course the most popular Joel Osteen.

"What do these preachers and evangelists all have in common? Outside of the late Billy Graham, they all lived or live multi-million dollar lavish lifestyles as Americas favored Christian Kings and Queens, all the while claiming to ‘need money’ to help feed and clothe the needy worldwide.

#2. Denominations, evangelists and preachers attacking one another: It’s difficult to understand the denominations, preachers and teachers who openly attack one another while representing the 'God of Love'. Now, some of their confrontations may be justified - inaccurate preaching, adulterous affairs and mishandling of monies. However, we must attempt to do it in love at all times. I know it’s hard for some to watch Mega Ministers get away with un-christian like behavior, and then stay in the TV ministry simply because of their mega-money-making skills. Some of the ‘behind the scenes’ behavior of Benny Hinn, Paula White, TD Jakes, Creflow Dollar, Kenneth Copeland etc., is no different than the past behavior of many others, including Oral Roberts and his son, Jimmy Swaggart and now his son, or the PTL Bakker’s and Falwell’s of the past. It's all the same, it’s sinfully shameful. And as Christians we have all suffered for it as the world mocks us for supporting ministries that manipulate their flock for self gain.

"As Christians we need to know the words of Jesus well enough to know if we should be following these personality driven ministers who may love the sound of their own voice more than the true message of repentance, forgiveness, love and discipleship in the Lord. Above all, we should be praying for their uncompromising awakening to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

#3. Non-Practicing Christians: These are ones who embarrass Christianity by false confessions and dishonest behavior, while calling themselves, ‘non-practicing’ Christians. As a personal counselor, I am always surprised while talking to Christians when they say they ‘know very little of what Jesus said in the 4 Gospels’. About 90% said they never read all 4 Gospels and they actually called themselves ‘Non-Practicing’ Christians and they expect to enter Heaven simply because they once said a prayer of repentance in church or while touching the TV screen. Most of them really didn’t know what the word repentance means. And yet they expect to get into Heaven while they’re playing in Hell.

"ONE WAY CHRISTIANS can HELP: Its time for ALL CHRISTIANS to know what Jesus meant when He said, “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life”. He is our example to follow (WAY) He is the True Word of God, (TRUTH) and He lives in us and gives us LIFE.

"I think we ALL need to know for sure 'What Did Jesus Say?' and decide how much it matters to us. Our decision determines our desire to read his words. The great Bible teacher and commentator, Henry H. Halley, said it this way: The Four Gospels are, by all odds, the most important part of the Bible: more important than all the rest of the Bible put together: more important than all the rest of the books in the whole world put together, for we could better afford to be without the knowledge of everything else than to be without the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

"When you read the ‘words of Jesus’ (highlighted in red) in your Bible, you will quickly see the intensity with which Jesus speaks and teaches. When Jesus speaks He’s not vague, He’s specific. He tells us over and over again to abide in His Words, follow His example and keep His commandments. Jesus says, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another”. Now, that’s specific! That’s why it’s so important to know that you know, What Did Jesus Say?

The full text of the statement can be found at Terry's website.

Imagine you're walking down the beach, and you come across a crowd waiting for Jesus to appear and teach them. What would he say? Would he talk about current religious and political conflicts, or would he speak about Love, Light, and Truth? Readers can join in for a walk with Jesus and listen to his words as he shares with them the Seven Messages from the Master. Each spiritual message reveals His teachings that will strengthen and guide anyone to a most peaceful life in Christ.

'What Did Jesus Say' contains over 500 Bible verses spoken directly by Jesus as recorded in the red-letter edition of the New King James Bible, organized by subject. There is no interpretation, opinion or commentary.

Terry Christian's ministry, Foundations For Life, is an online ministry dedicated to helping Christians worldwide. Their calling is to help all Christians mature in their relationship with Jesus Christ. H-E-L-P means Helping Everyone Live Peacefully in Christ.

This brotherly approach allows us to focus on our loving similarities as members of the whole Body of Christ, rather than on our differences in worshiping and practicing our faith, so common today from one church to another or one Pastor to another. The mission is to teach the Way by the Word.

Terry helps families and congregations, as well as clergy, come together, in love, as one body in Christ, in one accord, in order to perform a greater work for Christ. He is dedicated to creating the relationships that build stronger marriages, families and churches.

'What Did Jesus Say...The Seven Messages From The Master' is available in full color glossy print, eBook and Kindle. An audiobook version is available for Windows and Macintosh. Several bundled packages are available at the book website, http://www.wdjsbook.com.

Terry Christian is available for media interviews. Please contact PrimeStar Publicity using the information below.

More information is available at his ministry website at https://www.foundationsforlife.org, and his book at www.wdjsbook.com.

About Terry Christian:


Terry Christian is a former motivational speaker and executive trainer with over 20 years experience giving more than 2,500 presentations to private and public audiences across America and Canada. Today, Christian counsels individuals and couples seeking a more mature understanding of their relationship with Jesus Christ. His life is now dedicated to helping his Christian brothers and sisters live in a never-ending state of peace, love, truth and forgiveness as followers of Jesus Christ. He says after repentance and being born again, this was the main message Jesus taught; and teaching the Way by the Word is the cornerstone on which his book and ministry is founded.

It's Never Too Late To Make Positive Changes In Your Life - Powerful Advice Offered By B.BéNI Jewelry

B.BéNI offers a game-changing idea to help readers pursue their dreams and live their best life, regardless of age or life stage

Inspirational jewelry company B.BéNI recently presented an idea on their website that is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of advice any of us could ever hear.

It's never too late to make positive changes in your life.

While seemingly simple on the surface, this idea holds the potential to totally transform one's life, regardless of prior history or experience.

The post, found at the B.BéNI site, reads in part:

Regardless of what stage of your life you are at right now, it is never too late to pursue and live your dream. It is never too late to make positive changes in the way that you live. Many of us have regrets about the things we should have done differently in our lives when we were younger. "If only I had..." has become an all too familiar mantra repeating itself in our minds. As the years tick by, if we don't begin to make steps towards positive changes, discouragement often sets in and we begin to feel that it is too late. This is an absolute lie! It is never too late to make positive changes and begin to move closer to whatever our dreams may be. Dreams may be as simple as getting fit or cleaning out and organizing your home to as big as starting your own company that you have always dreamed of owning. Especially now, as many people are living longer and more vital lives well into their senior years, a later start is much more plausible. Don't let yourself feel older than you are. Do not listen to people who act as if they are over the hill in their 50's or 60's...or even 70's for that matter. You are as young as you perceive yourself to be! People like that can be a very negative influence and quite likely will bring you down. My mother was an avid storyteller during her life and had always dreamed of writing a book of her short stories. Well, she accomplished that goal and wrote her first book at 85 years young!

Remember, you are not stuck permanently in the life you have now, even if it often feels that way. We may not be able to change our lives in any way that we want in the blink of an eye, that would be unrealistic. Most people have limits in many areas of their lives and change will take a little bit of perseverance and effort, but it will be well worth it. Everyone can start with baby steps and begin to move toward goals immediately. What about making a small change in an area that has been bugging you? From that small change you will begin to gain confidence and like building a wall one brick at a time, those small changes will construct a foundation that will make you feel positive, energized and hopeful! Bigger and better changes will surely follow. Start by asking yourself - What is one small step I can take right now to get started? Have you always wanted to do something but felt that it was overwhelming and daunting? What about taking a step and making one small change? I find that the hardest time for me is thinking about wanting to do something and not taking that first step. The feeling that something is too big or scary or difficult is one of the most common things to hold people back from taking any action at all. A fear-like paralysis. I find that once I actually break through the inertia and trepidation and actually start, I feel better almost immediately. It may feel slow or awkward when you take that first step but it's a start and you can build upon it, fine tune it and develop it until it becomes something good.

Evangelical Outreach Ex Catholic Dan Corner Takes Issue With Our Lady Of Fatima's Irreconcilable Differences With God's Word

Corner is a former pastor and Christian author who, over four decades has preached perhaps 1000 or more sermons and has written hundreds of Christian articles and a number of books of vital importance to Christians.

In a recent piece on romereports.com, Pope Francis is quoted as saying "I will go to Fatima on a pilgrimage, to entrust to the Virgin the temporal and eternal destinies of humanity." Evangelical Outreach ex-Catholic Dan Corner and author of 'Is This The Mary Of The Bible?' takes issue with the Fatima apparitions, as the Fatima apparition makes statements that directly conflict with scripture. Corner had this to say:

One of the all time best known Catholic Marian apparitions occurred in Fatima Portugal in 1917. They consist of three apparitions of angels and at least six apparitions of Mary. Those apparitions would have us focus our attention upon Mary, who has become known as "Our Lady of Fatima." Because of these Fatima visions, Mary has been declared to be our refuge and protector, as well as the way to God and so forth. Moreover, according to those Catholic visions, amends for sin are also to be made to Mary. It is estimated that multiple millions of people go to that Fatima shrine each year, thereby reflecting its importance to multitudes.

Officially speaking, Catholics are not bound to believe in any of the Marian apparitions, such as Fatima (1917), but it must also be noted that all popes from Benedict XV (1914-1922) and afterwards have favorably spoken about Fatima, showing their endorsement of those Marian apparitions and corresponding doctrines. Therefore, to the Catholic laity, the 1917 Fatima visions are a definite message "directly from heaven" itself. In fact, Tan Book and Publishers has printed a booklet on Fatima entitled that very thing – "Our Lady's of Fatima's Peace Plan From Heaven." Consequently, the Catholic laity of 1 billion plus will accept Fatima and all the related dogmas.

As a former Roman Catholic, the following 1917 Fatima quote is most significant to me:

"I (Mary) will never leave you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God" (Lucia Speaks on The Message of Fatima, Ave Maria Institute, 1968, p.26).

It was over that very statement that I finally left Roman Catholicism because of its irreconcilable differences with God's word. God's truth declares the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus as "the way" to the Father (Jn. 14:6) and God himself as our "refuge" (Psa. 46:1; etc.).

So, how can such a scripture-conflicting statement from "Our Lady at Fatima" be reconciled to God's truth? The answer is found in 2 Cor. 11:14: "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light". The devil, who is not in hell now, is always trying to religiously deceive and tempt people away from God's ways. It is also important to know that the devil has power to perform miracles (2 Thess. 2:9,10; Rev. 13:13-15; 16:14; 19:20; etc.). These biblical truths also explain the Fatima "Miracle of the Sun." Remember: any apparition or miracle which does not parallel God's written word is not from the same source that gave us the Bible.

Besides the aforementioned doctrinal differences with scripture, the following Fatima false prophecy is another nail in the Fatima coffin, further diminishing the credibility of the Catholic magisterium, which has approved all these false prophecies and visions. That false prophecy unfolds from the report first given on May 13, 1917, then on July 13th:

"I [the personage claiming to be Mary] came to ask you to come here for six successive months, on the 13th day at the same hour" (ibid., p. 22).

"I [the personage claiming to be Mary] want you to come here on the 13th of next month [August 1917]" (ibid., 28).

In contrast, the fourth of the Fatima visions occurred on August 15, 1917 and in a place other than the Cova da Iria called Valinhos; in other words, that particular vision occurred at the wrong time and at the wrong place according to the repeated prediction or “prophecy” of where and when the vision was supposed to take place. Such is tantamount to a false prophecy. If we consider the foregoing, plus the aforementioned unscriptural teaching at Fatima, it becomes even more clear that the so called "Our Lady of Fatima" is not the real Mary of the Bible, but instead our enemy, the "father of lies" (Jn. 8:44). Even more evidence unfolds with the following unscriptural Fatima narrative:

“I [the personage claiming to be Mary] promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession and receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me" (ibid., p. 47).

The true gospel (plan of salvation) of the Bible bares absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to the counterfeit gospel of Our Lady of Fatima. True salvation comes from repentance from sin and a heart-felt submissive faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to follow and serve him unashamedly (Acts 20:21; 26:20; Lk. 9:23; Gal. 3:26). Such a submissive faith in the Lord Jesus in turn will result in freedom from sin's addictions and will transform a former servant of the devil to a servant of God (Rom.6:22). Such faith will also result in rest for one's soul (Mt. 11:29), unfeigned love for Christians (1 John 3:14), obedience to God's commands (1 Jn. 2:3,4) and being ashamed of one's past life of sin before salvation (Rom. 6:21). Furthermore, the true Christian has become an object of God's mercy (Titus 3:5; Pet. 2:10; etc.), a recipient of eternal life (Jn. 6:47; 1 Jn. 5:12,13; etc.) and is now a new creation in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17).

Imagine being a faithful Catholic who implicitly trusts the magisterium. You go to daily mass, the stations of the cross and to confession; you receive the Eucharist weekly, perform novenas, and have been on Fatima pilgrimages; finally, at the hour of your death, you call on Mary only to die and find out too late you have been dreadfully wrong and misled by your trusted leaders. This tragedy has been the reality for hundreds of millions of Catholics, including canonized Catholics “saints.” To make matters worse, many non-Catholics are not doing anything to help Catholics find true biblical salvation. Why aren’t they? Ignorance is part of it, but the ecumenical non-Catholic compromise with Catholics is also a major part of the problem. True Christians need to reach out to the world’s billion dear Catholics and to share these vital truths with them. God bless you.

Vision Reveals Advent Messages For Christian Churches In America Reports John the Apostle

John the Apostle reveals that on January 28, 2018, Jesus entrusted him with Seven Messages for Christian Churches in America. In the first message, Jesus says, “Surrender to me.”

At his website, https://dazzlinglight.org/, John the Apostle wrote, “Brothers and Sisters, the unexpected hour of Jesus’ Second Coming is near. I say this because, as Jesus foretold in John 21:22 when He said to Peter about John, ‘If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!’ I am John. I am living now. And I am returning to Galilee to await Jesus’ return on His birthday September 19, 2022.”

On the “The Heavenly Church” page at the same website, John the Apostle revealed that “I am John, your brother, and as a follower of Jesus I am your partner in patiently enduring the suffering that comes to those who belong to His Kingdom. On the Lord’s day January 28, 2018, Jesus instructed me to write down these Seven Messages and then send these Seven Messages to the Churches in America.”

In the first message, John revealed that “Jesus said, ‘To the angels in the churches write: This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven lampstands. Repent! Be born again! Follow me! For I am now calling you to prepare Christian Churches for my Second Coming.’”

John the Apostle then conveyed that, “Christ now seeks Christians who will surrender to Jesus’ Lordship and will wear the full armor of God’s eternal love.”

At “The Heavenly Church” website page, John the Apostle wrote a “Heavenly Church” Sermon to convey the meaning of each of Jesus’ Seven Messages to the Churches in America. And in the sermon that accompanies this first message titled “Surrender to Jesus”, John writes “Jesus says, ‘Repent! I helped create the world.’

“In the beginning, ‘The Word was with God.’ Now the Word and God remain in heaven as the world returns to darkness. And another John calls out from the shores of the Sea of Galilee, ‘Repent!’ Another John cries out from the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes in Galilee, ‘Turn from the darkness of sin to the light of salvation.’ Another John speaks out from the Chapel on the Mount of Beatitudes, ‘The corruption of greed now consumes the light of God and the Word’s creation. Repent!’”

John the Apostle then wrote, “Christians beware Church Pastors preaching prosperity, preaching immorality, or preaching the ways of the world. For these Church Pastors pursue the glories of the world and they will persuade you to follow secular teachings and to disobey The Word of God.”

In closing his sermon, John the Apostle wrote, “Brothers and Sisters let us choose to follow those Church Pastors filled with the Holy Spirit and let us all heed The Word of God and say Amen when Jesus calls out, ‘Surrender to me. I am the Christ. And I am coming soon to lead you through the Gate of Heaven.’”

You can hear John with Pastor Robert Thibodeau on Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and on the Valder Beebe Show “God Talk.” John is also available for other media interviews and podcasts. You can contact him using the information below or by email at john@dazzlinglight.org . More information is available at his website at https://dazzlinglight.org .

Profile:

On his Twitter page, John tweeted that “I am John the Apostle from the Bible and I am here for Jesus' Second Coming to Galilee on September 19. I was born again on October 24, 1982. God spoke to me from the fiery cloud on November 16, 1982. I saw the dazzling light of God’s Glory on January 7, 1983. I received three dreams of Jesus' Second Coming on October 19, 1983, June 21, 1984, and October 19, 1984. Jesus indwelled me and sang at Amity Church on April 14, 1985. Jesus called me to Galilee to write the book ‘Is Your Church Heavenly?’ on January 16, 2015. I saw heaven open beside the Sea of Galilee on January 25, 2005. And I bleed from my stigmata on Father’s Day."

Award Winning Novelist Of British History, Donna Fletcher Crow, Announces Portsmouth Bookfest Appearance On March 9, 2019

Crow writes meticulously researched, entertaining novels of romance, history and mystery in an engaging you-are-there style that allows readers to live the history.

Award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow has announced that she will serve as a panelist at Mystery Fest 2019 on Saturday, March 9, 2019. The event will take place at Portsmouth Central Library, Guildhall Walk in Portsmouth, UK.

Portsmouth Bookfest presents a series of literary events for readers and writers, adults and children, covering most genres. The long-running annual event is organized in part by the University of Portsmouth and local area writers and historians. Notable authors associated with Portsmouth include Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells. This year's event will feature a talk by former MP and bestselling author Alan Johnson. Guest of honor, Simon Brett, will be the luncheon speaker.

Mystery Fest, started in 2018 as part of the Portsmouth Book Festival, is a collaboration between Portsmouth Library Service and Mystery People. This year there will be several panels and talks. The panel on which Crow will serve, aptly named 'In The Reviewers' Hot Seat', will be moderated by two Mystery People reviewers and academics - Dr Jennifer Palmer and Dot Marshall-Gent. Other panel members include Leigh Russell, Sally Spedding, Diana Bretherick and Carol Westron.

Crow says, “I am very excited for this opportunity to connect in person with my many readers in England. I’m especially delighted to meet in person with Lizzie Hayes and other members of the wonderful Mystery People organization which does so much to support excellence in crime and mystery writing.

“I’m also looking forward to exploring the south coast of England. It was a favourite holiday place for Jane Austen and the setting for her final, unfinished book 'Sanditon' which will be the subject of my next Elizabeth and Richard Literary Suspense.”

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 45 books, mostly novels of British history. The award-winning 'Glastonbury' is her best-known work, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched,", "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."

The Lord Danvers series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'. Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.

The Monastery Murders are contemporary clerical mysteries with clues hidden in medieval history. Titles are: 'A Very Private Grave', 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary', and 'An All-Consuming Fire'.

The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'.

The Daughters of Courage, 'Kathryn', 'Elizabeth' and 'Stephanie' is a pioneer family saga based on the stories of Crow's own family and other Idaho pioneers in the Kuna, Nampa and Boise area.

Donna Fletcher Crow's work has received a number of high-level industry honors. These include:

Glastonbury, First Place, Historical Fiction, National Federation of Press Women Award of Merit
The Banks of the Boyne, Silver Angel; First Place Historical Fiction, National Federation Press Women
