Author Joseph Ganci Announces No Charge Download Of Bestselling Christian Fiction Ebook, Gideon - The Sound And The Glory, October 8 Through October 12, 2024


All the Empire of Israel series books have received rave reviews and have achieved bestseller status.

Joseph Ganci’s bestselling Christian fiction eBook, ‘Gideon The Sound And The Glory, will be available at no charge at Amazon from October 8 through October 12 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Joseph-Ganci/author/B06XHZ76N9.

Again, Israel, a lonely outpost of God’s chosen people, once again finds itself under attack by forces spiritually dedicated to her ultimate destruction. Zion fights back with fury and vengeance, hoping their dedicated enemies will finally relent, finding it too costly to continue their brutal persecution. From the time of Egyptian bondage to this very day, the battle of self-righteous hatred rages. Ganci attempts to spark fresh interest in ancient kindling. After all, there is nothing new under the sun.

In Gideon, Book 1 in the Empire of Israel series, Ganci reveals in vivid detail long-hidden and often obscure connections that bring to life Israel's spiritual journey at a level that has been compared to such masterful works as Lord Of The Rings.

In the words of Midwest Book Review, the book" . . . powerfully captures the essential elements of the spiritual journey of Israel, a story that vividly brings to life one of the many biblical heroes that are often forgotten. The story is written skillfully and readers will love the balance that comes out neatly between character, plot, and setting. Joseph Ganci's prose is arresting, peppered with wonderful imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing life's conflicts and dynamics within the community of God's chosen people."

Unsung biblical heroes and murderous villains leap to life, blazing onto the pages of revelation. Gideon, a lowly woodcutter, is blessed by an angel to be the savior of all Israel. He does not know why or how and shrinks from this dangerous mission. The commandment to conquer the Midian Empire as one man seems all but impossible. But Gideon’s confidence grows as God guides his every step until he stands fearless, dauntlessly fulfilling his destiny as “a mighty man of valor.” The fierce warriors, burning towers, and devastated cities contained in Gideon’s journey are but silver threads that weave into a sweeping tapestry that fills ten generations that follow with intrigue. The Ark of the Covenant and the Baal-Berith, also known as Gideon’s mysterious Ephod of Gold (shown on the back cover in the print version) run through and stitch together the entire saga.

Ganci answers questions that, to date, have not been answered in scripture. Why has the true story of Gideon been hidden for three millennia? How does Gideon connect with Jacob wrestling an angel? How did a blood feud between Gideon and the Midianite kings evolve? How does the prophetess Debra establish the tradition of lighting two Shabbat candles? How does Gideon’s three hundred represent the Trinity or The Godhead? Why was Gideon not at the major Midianite battle? How did three hundred starving men conquer fifteen thousand in a night battle in the wilderness? Why is Gideon a similitude of the coming of Jesus Christ as a spiritual warrior? Why were there mice in the Philistine cart that transported the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel? What was young David even present at the battle with Goliath? Why did David have five stones in his script? And much more, from disclosing the name of lots wife and why a pillar of salt?

Indie Reader Ron Capshaw said, "Ganci is clearly a believer and knows the Old Testament well, a section of the Bible many religious scholars view as the most complex and opaque. Nevertheless, he has pulled off the feat of making this era understandable to modern readers by using the universal theme of the leader initially feeling unworthy when destiny calls."

Romauld Dzemo, for Reader's Favorite, stated, "Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action. The writing and the plot hugely entertained me. It's a real page-turner!"

The eBook will be available at no charge from October 8 through October 12, 2024, at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Joseph-Ganci/author/B06XHZ76N9?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

All of the books in the series are available on Amazon in e-book and paperback versions. Audio versions of Gideon and David God's Chosen Crucible are currently available.

Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring awe-inspiring stories to life and, ultimately, to film. He believes that connecting facts is far more enchanting than loosely fitting fantasies. He works within an engaging and dramatized fiction framework that remains faithful to uphold spiritual principles while exceedingly rich in detail.

Ganci bases his work on three primary pillars:

The rock-solid cornerstone is historical biblical geography.

The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues.

The research is concrete and firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

Ganci fills in the blanks with rock-solid research and prophetic revelations. It is a style that has allowed him to create breakthrough approaches that are exciting and breathtaking while remaining within the limits of sound biblical teachings.

Ganci is also the creator of 'Incredible Bible Mysteries,' a five-part video series now available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK0Op2dYhMXtz7nh2D__keQ.

Ganci believes that Old Testament revelations are the Word of God. Simultaneously, many needful details remained buried until the information age of discovery made them prominent and visible to the naked eye. These insights create a middle ground of understanding. As a dedicated and highly motivated researcher, he proposes many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts. He shines a new light on ancient texts and removes the black-or-white argument of the all-or-nothing question of modern-day revelations. He is adept at untangling philosophical and theological human-made knots. He allows us to look at what some consider foregone conclusions in a new light.

Joseph Ganci was honored as one of the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading in the 2017 Book Awards.

Bestselling Author Marlayne Giron Announces Release of New Amish Romance Novel, A Place Of Refuge


In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. She is considered to be a great new voice in Christian Fiction and writes fiction with a mission.

Bestselling author Marlayne Giron has announced the release of her latest Amish Romance novel, A Place of Refuge.

In this book, Rachel Winston returns home to Second Chance Inn too injured and weak to meet the needs of her guests. Samuel’s decision to marry her resulted in his shunning and in the loss of support from his family and community.

Emma Lapp has returned home in desperation, only to be turned away by her parents. She is forced to abandon her car and happens upon the sign for Second Chance Inn. Her timely appearance is a godsend to Rachel who takes a risk and welcomes her in. Hopeful that Rachel and Samuel will also help her friends, Emma summons Amos, Aaron and Abram to the Inn.

These dispossessed youth, outcasts from their family and community, find a new sense of belonging, hope and purpose. Second Chance Inn becomes much more than just a means to an end, it has transformed into A Place of Refuge.

The new book is available in both paperback and ebook versions at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marlayne-Giron/author/B09YQPRVL7.

A Goodreads Giveaway is being offered through October 6, 2024 at https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/397884.

In her previous Amish Romance novel, Second Chance Inn, Rachel Winston is suddenly and tragically widowed in her early 30s. She and her adopted, teenaged daughter, Karen, are forced to leave everything behind in Southern California. She purchases an Amish farmhouse in Lancaster County, PA to open an Amish-style Bed & Breakfast Inn. The farmhouse she purchases was put on the market by a young Amish widower, Samuel Miller, who recently lost his wife and five children in a buggy accident. He has moved into the Dawdi house to maintain the farm and Rachel happily cooks, cleans, and does his laundry in exchange for his help.

Thrown together by tragic loss, their mutual suffering draws them together against the rules of his community. Solace and friendship soon turn into something deeper, putting him at great risk for shunning. Rachel struggles to adapt while her daughter finds it easier to fit in to the Amish lifestyle.

Will Rachel succeed in becoming Amish so she can be with Samuel, or will their blossoming relationship doom them both as outcasts?

Giron's bestselling Christian Fantasy Fiction e-book, 'The Victor', was heavily influenced by Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and has an endorsement by New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee on the front cover.

Destined to become a classic, the new book is an inspirational historical fantasy fiction book written for ages 12 and up. This spellbinding tale is set apart from other Christian fiction books by her subtle but powerful method of presenting Christian principles embedded in a majestic adventure that is gripping, riveting, and engaging for readers of any age. It is perfect as a home school resource for both English and history curriculum.

As noted on Giron's website, a companion lesson plan is available for advanced Language Arts students in upper middle school through high school. The Lesson Plan explores the language and Biblical symbolism of the novel and works especially well for Christian homeschoolers. Because the Christian Bible plays such a powerful role in history and sociology, the book is recommended for non-Christians as well.

The student workbook is available at no charge at Giron’s website at https://thevictorbook.com/download-the-free-student-workbook-and-chivalry-studies/.

Readers and reviewers have praised The Victor. Robert Heath, Founder and Director of Kids for Christ/USA, stated, "The Victor is an absolute 'literary masterpiece' that should be required reading in High Schools across the land. In fact, if there was a required reading list for Christians, The Victor would have to be on it."

NY Time bestselling author Tosca Lee said, "The Victor is an epic adventure of love, loss, and triumph over evil. Giron’s characters leap off the page into medieval battles, jousts, quests, and romance. Fans of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and medieval fantasy will not want to miss out on this classic tale!"

Karen Koch, former editor of the Christian Home Educators Association of California Magazine stated, "I loved this book. The author had me at castles, sword fights, and a gentle romance, but the novel reveals an eternal story of good vs. evil that is much deeper than just what’s on the surface. Middle and high school students (and their parents) will love this account of adventure, drama, betrayal, sacrifice, and ultimate victory."

Kathi Macias, bestselling author of nearly sixty books said, "Author Marlayne Giron has woven together a fast-paced adventure and a tender love story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, even as they are caught up in the lives of believable characters, both good and evil. The Victor will introduce – or reintroduce – readers to the majestic story of the Bible, a story of love, redemption, and victory. Though aimed at high-school aged readers, adults will be captivated by it as well. Highly recommended!"

The Victor is available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Marlayne-Giron/e/B09YQPRVL7

Reimagining Christian Fiction - Bestselling Author Joseph Ganci Announces No Charge Download Of New Ebook, Second David, Trials And Tribulations


The new eBook paints a vivid portrait of ancient Biblical history, achieving remarkable depth, clarity, and consistency in "The Empire of Israel" series. All the eBooks in the series have achieved bestseller status.

Joseph Ganci, the author of three bestselling books in the Empire Of Israel series, is offering his latest eBook, 'Second David, Trials and Tribulations,' for free on Amazon from May 20 through May 24, 2024. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the world of 'The Empire of Israel' series at no cost.

Prepare to be captivated by a fresh perspective on biblical history. In 'Second David, Trials and Tribulations,' Ganci masterfully weaves an epic historical tapestry, rich with penetrating insight and colored by insurrection, coups, and civil wars. This is not your typical historical fiction-it's a gripping journey through the ancient world, an enhanced history that mirrors present-day headlines about Israel, Jerusalem, and power politics. And it's all backed up by solid research and accepted historical connections.

Reviewer Cecelia Hopkins called ‘Second David’ “a must-read for lovers of Christian literature and historical fiction.” Reviewer Essian Asian said, “Joseph Ganci masterfully blends historical narrative with captivating facts to create an engrossing read. This gives us a much more credible picture of David than we would have from any other source. Ganci's storytelling style highlights the attention to detail that fills in the gaps in the story concerning questions readers might have about David's failings. ‘Second David: Trials And Tribulations’ is one book historical fiction buffs will enjoy. “

The novel unveils the near miss of David's son Absalom's assassination attempt and the betrayal by Ahithophel Bathsheba’s grandfather, the only man alive David feared. He was once David's trusted friend and prime minister. Ahithophel's contempt for David leads to a failed coup and an orchestrated insurrection, plunging the kingdom into civil war.

The book meshes historical facts with the excitement of an action-packed adventure novel. Our version of this history is like a puzzle, missing many of its pieces. ‘Second David’ provides those missing pieces and reveals the consequences of David’s self-imposed judgment and punishment, which balance the scales of justice.

This is not just another biblical saga; it's a revelation, painting a new portrait of ancient Israel, Jerusalem, and the profound impact of one man's choices. It is an unforgettable exploration of an era that continues to shape the capital of Israel, even today.

Readers and reviewers alike have praised both of Ganci's first two books in the series:

"Although most people are aware of the story of David and Goliath, the giant, 'David: God's Chosen Crucible' by Joseph Ganci is a brilliant retelling of all the stories about the Shepard boy who would one day become a King of Israel. Reading with all the informational value of a history textbook is deftly combined with the entertainment of an action/adventure novel."
Michael J. Carson Reviewer for Midwest Book Review.

"David God's Chosen Crucible is intelligently plotted, well-researched, and expertly executed. The writing by Joseph Ganci is wonderful, and the author has the gift of filling the narrative with exciting details, describing a setting that is colorful and transports readers to biblical times." - Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite.

"Joseph delivers an extremely believable story that fills the gaps smoothly and neatly packs various events into an intense, multiple-viewpoint narrative. The book also contains several lessons and messages to help believers grow in faith and knowledge about God's ways."
Foluso Falaye - San Francisco book review.

All of the books are available on Amazon in e-book and paperback versions. Audio versions of Gideon and David God's Chosen Crucible are currently available.

Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring awe-inspiring stories to life and, ultimately, to film.

Joseph Ganci, Bestselling Author Of the Christian Historical Ebook David: God's Chosen Crucible, Announces No Charge Download Of The Ebook Version From April 19 Through April 23, 2024, On Amazon


The ebook paints a stunning portrait of David, who rises from being a lowly shepherd to become the king of the Jews. The new book is the second book in the Empire of Israel series. The three books in the series have attained bestseller status.

 Some Christians find the Old Testament unimportant, too violent, and difficult to comprehend. Perhaps it is the ancient style of disjointed prose or the complex laws and never-ending genealogies.

Joseph Ganci points to deeper understandings and richer meanings with previously unexplored connections. He has proven it by taking all the Empire of Israel series books to bestseller status amid rave reviews.

David, God's Chosen Crucible, Book 2 in the Empire of Israel series, will be available in Ebook form at no charge from April 19 through April 23, 2024, at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Joseph-Ganci/author/B06XHZ76N9?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1712930653&sr=8-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true.

David is every man's man, an outlaw prophet, a man of war, and a man of God. He is a ruthless warrior, an ardent lover, a skilled musician, and a poet-philosopher. God sees in him the heart of a lion, the tenacity of a bear, and an ever-faithful man of action. God calls an unlikely and lowly shepherd boy to become the king of the Jews and the fighting prince of Israel.

David overcomes all odds by escaping every snare and evading every trap. He learns from every encounter, growing in understanding and effectiveness in the love of his Creator. He protects, defends, and enlarges the stakes of Zion, the resting place of God's chosen people. David reaches the pinnacle of all worldly success. He marries the love of his life and is the master of everything he surveys, surpassing his imagination.

Ganci emphasizes the significance of David's story within the context of Christianity, delving into his famous battle against Goliath and his marriage to Bathsheba, who would become King Solomon's mother. Ganci's masterful work portrays David as an iconic figure whose life journey is marked by divine intervention, courage, and a deep connection with God, contributing to the rich tapestry of the Christian Bible's narrative.

Readers will relish this incredible, enchanting historical fiction. They will experience the heart-pounding narrow escapes from the vengeful King Saul, be a party to the kidnapping of David's two wives and his ferocious battle against the shapeshifting Amalekites, and be present as he wins them back and, in doing so, capture a vast treasure trove of flocks, herds, and gold that helps to secure his two kingdoms. Readers will join the battle at Mount Gilboa. Witness the destruction of Saul and his sons foretold by the witch of Endor, celebrate the fall of the city of waters and the last puzzle piece needed to establish the empire of Israel, look down from the high walls of Rabbah, and learn of the required destruction of Uriah the Hittite. Then stand invited to the marriage feast of David and his soulmate Bathsheba, the future mother of King Solomon, the future monarch of Israel.

Readers and reviewers alike have praised the new book.

Redefining Christian Fiction - Bestselling Author Joseph Ganci Announces No Charge Download Of Bestselling Ebook, Gideon, The Sound And The Glory (The Empire of Israel Book 1)


 All the books in the Empire of Israel series have received rave reviews and have achieved bestseller status.

Joseph Ganci, author of three bestselling books in the Empire Of Israel series, has announced that the first book in the series, 'Gideon, The Sound And The Glory' (The Empire of Israel Book 1), will be available in eBook form from March 19 through March 23, 2024 at no charge at Amazon.

Set aside all that you thought you knew about the Bible. In this gripping series, comprised of three panoramic novels, Ganci reveals in vivid detail the spiritual journey of Israel. In the words of Midwest Book Review, the book, " . . . powerfully captures the essential elements of the spiritual journey of Israel, a story that vividly brings to life one of the many biblical heroes that are often forgotten. The story is written in an excellent manner and readers will love the balance that comes out neatly between character, plot, and setting. Joseph Ganci's prose is arresting, peppered with wonderful imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and the dynamics of life within the community of God's chosen people."

Why has the true story of Gideon been hidden for three millennia? How does Gideon connect with Jacob wrestling an angel? How did a blood feud between Gideon and the Midianite kings evolve? How does the prophetess Debra establish the tradition of lighting two Shabbat candles? How does Gideon’s three hundred represent the Trinity? Why was Gideon not at the major Midianite battle? How did three hundred starving men conquer fifteen thousand in a night battle on foreign soil? Why is Gideon a similitude of the coming of Jesus Christ as a spiritual warrior? Why were there mice in the Philistine cart that transported the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel? What was young David even present at the battle with Goliath? Why did David have five stones in his script?

Besides being informative and entertaining, the biblical novel is a spiritual delight to the pilgrim searching for the mind of God.

Unsung biblical heroes and murderous villains leap to life, blazing onto the pages of revelation. Gideon, a lowly woodcutter, is blessed by an angel to be the savior of all Israel. He does not know why or how and shrinks from this dangerous mission. The commandment to conquer the Midian Empire as one man seems all but impossible. But Gideon’s confidence grows as God guides his every step until he stands fearless, dauntlessly fulfilling his destiny as “a mighty man of valor.” The fierce warriors, burning towers, and devastated cities contained in Gideon’s journey are but silver threads that weave into a sweeping tapestry that fills ten generations that follow with intrigue. Running through and stitching together the entire saga is the Ark of the Covenant and the Baal-Berith, also known as Gideon’s mysterious Ephod of Gold (shown on the back cover in the print version).

Read this book, and unearth hidden treasures of the peoples, places, and artifacts while resurrecting the stuff of legends that have slept for 3000 years.

Ron Capshaw for Indie Reader said, "Ganci is clearly a believer and knows the Old Testament well, a section of the Bible many religious scholars view as the most complex and opaque. Nevertheless, he has pulled off the feat of making this era understandable to modern readers by using the universal theme of the leader initially feeling unworthy when destiny calls."

Redefining Christian Fiction - Bestselling Author Joseph Ganci Announces No Charge Download Of New Ebook, David: God's Chosen Crucible (The Empire of Israel Book 2)


The book paints a provocative portrait of ancient Biblical history. It is the second in the Empire of Israel series. All the books in this unique collection have received rave reviews and have achieved bestseller status.

Joseph Ganci, author of three bestselling books in the Empire Of Israel series, has announced that the second book in the series, 'David, God’s Chosen Crucible', will be available in eBook form from February 19 through February 20 at no charge at Amazon.

Set aside all that you thought you knew about the Bible. In this gripping series, Ganci weaves an epic historical tapestry, colored by insurrection, coups, and civil wars. It is a gripping and turbulent journey to the ancient world; a journey that mirrors present day headlines of Jerusalem, Gaza and the Westbank. And it is all backed up by solid research, and the frailties of the human condition in battling religions and superstitions violently wrenching power, and control.

David is every man’s man, an outlaw prophet, a man of war, and a man of God. He is a ruthless warrior, an ardent lover, skilled musician, and poet-philosopher. God sees in him the heart of a lion, the tenacity of a bear, and an ever-faithful man of action. God calls him, an unlikely and lowly shepherd boy, to become the king of the Jews and fighting prince of Israel.

David overcomes all odds in escaping every snare, evading every trap, and learns from every encounter, growing in understanding and effectiveness in the love of his Creator. He protects, defends, and enlarges the stakes of Zion, the resting place of God’s chosen people.

David reaches the pinnacle of all worldly success. He marries his soulmate and his one true love. He is the master of all that he surveys, even surpassing his imagination.

Readers will be a party to the kidnapping of David’s two wives and his ferocious battle against the shapeshifting Amalekites, and be present as he wins them back and, in doing so, captures a vast treasure trove of flocks, herds, and gold propelling him to coveted seats of power.

They will also join the battle at Mount Gilboa and the destruction of Saul and his son’s foretold by the witch of Endor and will celebrate the fall of the city of waters and the last puzzle piece needed to establish the empire of Israel.

A Kirkus review said, “Ganci writes in urgent, muscular prose that transforms the antiquated descriptions of the Bible into something closer to a fantasy novel.”

Reviewer Michael J. Carson called the book , “a brilliant retelling of all the stories about the Shepard boy who would one day become a King of Israel. Reading with all the informational value of a history textbook is deftly combined with the entertainment of an action/adventure novel.”

Christian Sia of Readers Favorite stated, "David God's Chosen Crucible is intelligently plotted, well-researched, and expertly executed. The writing by Joseph Ganci is wonderful, and the author has the gift of filling the narrative with exciting details, describing a setting that is colorful and transports readers to biblical times."

The eBook will be available at no charge February 19 and 20 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Joseph-Ganci/author/B06XHZ76N9?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

All of the books are available on Amazon in e-Book and paperback versions. Audio versions of Gideon and David God's Chosen Crucible are currently available.

Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring awe-inspiring stories to life and, ultimately, to film. He believes that connecting facts is far more enchanting than loosely fitting fantasies. He works within an engaging and dramatized fiction framework that remains faithful to uphold spiritual principles while exceedingly rich in detail.

Ganci bases his work on three primary pillars:

The rock-solid cornerstone is historical biblical geography.

The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues.

The research is concrete and firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

Ganci fills in the blanks with rock-solid research and prophetic revelations. It is a style that has allowed him to create breakthrough approaches that are exciting and breathtaking while remaining within the limits of sound biblical teachings.

Ganci is also the creator of 'Incredible Bible Mysteries,' a five-part video series now available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK0Op2dYhMXtz7nh2D__keQ.

Ganci believes that Old Testament revelations are the Word of God. Simultaneously, many needful details remained buried until the information age of discovery made them prominent and visible to the naked eye. These insights create a middle ground of understanding. As a dedicated and highly motivated researcher, he proposes many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts. He shines a new light on ancient texts and removes the black-or-white argument of the all-or-nothing question of modern-day revelations. He is adept at untangling philosophical and theological human-made knots. He allows us to look at what some consider foregone conclusions in a new light.

Readers of his bestseller, 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory,' will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, why David found himself at battle with Goliath, and much much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.

Joseph Ganci was honored as one of the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading in the 2017 Book Awards. 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory’ has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, "Joseph Ganci's prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes rise to a masterful recreation. They are woven into the story to allow the reader to enjoy its inspiration and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and dynamics of life within the community of God's chosen people. Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action." Other reviewers have used phrases such as "riveting," "amazing," "deftly crafted," and "highly recommended."

Redefining Christian Fiction - Bestselling Author Joseph Ganci Announces No Charge Download Of New Ebook, Second David, Trials And Tribulations


The new eBook again paints a stunning portrait of ancient Biblical history. It is the third in the Empire of Israel series. All the ebooks in the series have achieved bestseller status.

Joseph Ganci, author of three bestselling books in the Empire Of Israel series, has announced that his latest ebook, 'Second David, Trials and Tribulations', will be available from January 9 through January 11 at no charge at Amazon.

Set aside all that you thought you knew about the Bible. In this book, Ganci weaves an epic historical tapestry, colored by insurrection, coups, and civil wars. It is a gripping and turbulent journey to the ancient world; a journey that mirrors present day headlines. And it is all backed up by solid research.

Reviewer Cecelia Hopkins called ‘Second David’, “a must-read for lovers of Christian literature and historical fiction.” Reviewer Essian Asian said, “Joseph Ganci masterfully blends historical narrative with captivating facts to create an engrossing read. This gives us a much more credible picture of David than we would have from any other source. Ganci's storytelling style highlights the attention to detail that fills in the gaps in the story concerning questions readers might have about David's failings. ‘Second David: Trials And Tribulations’ is one book historical fiction buffs will enjoy. “

The novel unveils the near miss of David's son Absalom's assassination attempt and the betrayal by Ahithophel, once David's trusted prime minister. Ahithophel's contempt for David leads to a failed coup and an orchestrated insurrection, plunging the kingdom into civil war.

The book meshes historical fact with the excitement of an action packed adventure novel. Our version of this history is like a puzzle missing many of its pieces. ‘Second David’ provides those missing pieces and reveals the consequences of David’s self-imposed judgment.

This is not just another biblical saga; it's a revelation, painting a new portrait of ancient Israel, Jerusalem, and the profound impact of one man's choices. It is an unforgettable exploration of an era that continues to shape the capital of Israel, even today. The ebook will be available at no charge January 9 through January 11, 2024 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Joseph-Ganci/author/B06XHZ76N9?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

Readers and reviewers alike have praised Ganci's previous books:

"Although most people are aware of the story of David and Goliath, the giant, 'David: God's Chosen Crucible' by Joseph Ganci is a brilliant retelling of all the stories about the Shepard boy who would one day become a King of Israel. Reading with all the informational value of a history textbook is deftly combined with the entertainment of an action/adventure novel."
Michael J. Carson Reviewer for Midwest Book Review.

"David God's Chosen Crucible is intelligently plotted, well-researched, and expertly executed. The writing by Joseph Ganci is wonderful, and the author has the gift of filling the narrative with exciting details, describing a setting that is colorful and transports readers to biblical times." - Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite.

"Joseph delivers an extremely believable story that fills the gaps smoothly and neatly packs various events into an intense, multiple-viewpoint narrative. The book also contains several lessons and messages to help believers grow in faith and knowledge about God's ways."
Foluso Falaye - San Francisco book review.

The new book is available on Amazon in e-Book and paperback versions.

Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring awe-inspiring stories to life and, ultimately, to film.

About Joseph Ganci:

When writing, Joseph Ganci takes all resources available through sources such as the first century historian Flavius Josephus, the Talmud, the Tanakh divided into the Torah, Prophets, and Hagiographa and the KJV bible.

He also uses Internet resources, including generational commentaries from both Christian and Jew scholars. "Seek and you shall find, knock and it will be open unto you," is Ganci’s rock-hard philosophy and his own lifetime experience of the human condition. He is a Vietnam combat veteran and father of five daughters and five grandchildren. He resides in Texas.

Reduced Pricing On Ebook Version Of New Amish Romance Novel, Second Chance Inn, Announced By Bestselling Author Marlayne Giron


In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. She is considered to be a great new voice in Christian Fiction and writes fiction with a mission.

If you like Amish romance novels, now is the time to grab a copy of bestselling author Marlayne Giron's latest ebook, 'Second Chance Inn'. The ebook will be available January 2 through January 4, 2023 for 99 cents.

The Amish romance genre opens a window into a simpler existence, a profound departure from our bustling, fast-paced modern reality. These books can be a portal to a world where horse-drawn carriages gracefully traverse landscapes, and the essence of family takes center stage. 'Second Chance Inn' deftly weaves a narrative that breathes fresh life into the traditional framework.

Rachel Winston is suddenly and tragically widowed in her early 30s. She and her adopted, teenaged daughter, Karen, are forced to leave everything behind in Southern California. She purchases an Amish farmhouse in Lancaster County, PA to open an Amish-style Bed & Breakfast Inn. The farmhouse she purchases was put on the market by a young Amish widower, Samuel Miller, who recently lost his wife and five children in a buggy accident. He has moved into the Dawdi house to maintain the farm and Rachel happily cooks, cleans, and does his laundry in exchange for his help.

Thrown together by tragic loss, their mutual suffering draws them together against the rules of his community. Solace and friendship soon turn into something deeper, putting him at great risk for shunning. Rachel struggles to adapt while her daughter finds it easier to fit in to the Amish lifestyle.

Will Rachel succeed in becoming Amish so she can be with Samuel, or will their blossoming relationship doom them both as outcasts?

Second Chance Inn will be available at Amazon for 99 cents January 2 through January 4, 2023 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marlayne-Giron/author/B09YQPRVL7?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

Giron's bestselling Christian Fantasy Fiction e-book, 'The Victor', was heavily influenced by Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and has an endorsement by New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee on the front cover.

Destined to become a classic, the new book is an inspirational historical fantasy fiction book written for ages 12 and up. This spellbinding tale is set apart from other Christian fiction books by her subtle but powerful method of presenting Christian principles embedded in a majestic adventure that is gripping, riveting, and engaging for readers of any age. It is perfect as a home school resource for both English and history curriculum.

As noted on Giron's website, a companion lesson plan is available for advanced Language Arts students in upper middle school through high school. The Lesson Plan explores the language and Biblical symbolism of the novel and works especially well for Christian homeschoolers. Because the Christian Bible plays such a powerful role in history and sociology, the book is recommended for non-Christians as well.

The student workbook is available at no charge at Giron’s website at https://thevictorbook.com/download-the-free-student-workbook-and-chivalry-studies/.

Readers and reviewers have praised The Victor. Robert Heath, Founder and Director of Kids for Christ/USA, stated, "The Victor is an absolute 'literary masterpiece' that should be required reading in High Schools across the land. In fact, if there was a required reading list for Christians, The Victor would have to be on it."

NY Time bestselling author Tosca Lee said, "The Victor is an epic adventure of love, loss, and triumph over evil. Giron’s characters leap off the page into medieval battles, jousts, quests, and romance. Fans of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and medieval fantasy will not want to miss out on this classic tale!"

Karen Koch, former editor of the Christian Home Educators Association of California Magazine stated, "I loved this book. The author had me at castles, sword fights, and a gentle romance, but the novel reveals an eternal story of good vs. evil that is much deeper than just what’s on the surface. Middle and high school students (and their parents) will love this account of adventure, drama, betrayal, sacrifice, and ultimate victory."

Kathi Macias, bestselling author of nearly sixty books said, "Author Marlayne Giron has woven together a fast-paced adventure and a tender love story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, even as they are caught up in the lives of believable characters, both good and evil. The Victor will introduce – or reintroduce – readers to the majestic story of the Bible, a story of love, redemption, and victory. Though aimed at high-school aged readers, adults will be captivated by it as well. Highly recommended!"

The Victor is available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Marlayne-Giron/e/B09YQPRVL7/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1.

Bestselling Author Marlayne Giron Announces The Release Of New Amish Romance Novel, Second Chance Inn

Her work has been compared to Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. She is considered to be a great new voice in Christian Fiction and writes fiction with a mission.

Marlayne Giron, bestselling author of The Victor, has announced the release of a new Amish romance novel, Second Chance Inn. The book will be available on October 13, 2023.

The Amish romance genre, a relatively new phenomenon, now captivates readers worldwide. At its core, Amish romance fiction offers a glimpse into a simpler way of life, one that stands in stark contrast to our increasingly complex and fast-paced world. By immersing readers in the serene rhythms of Amish communities and the Amish way of life, these novels provide an escape into a realm where horse-drawn carriages replace cars, and familial bonds hold paramount importance. Second Change Inn however, offers a twist on the traditional format.

Rachel Winston is suddenly and tragically widowed in her early 30s. She and her adopted, teenaged daughter, Karen, are forced to leave everything behind in Southern California. She purchases an Amish farmhouse in Lancaster County, PA to open an Amish-style Bed & Breakfast Inn.

Bringing Biblical characters and events to life, adding vibrancy to ancient stories and historical personalities with odd-sounding names, and living in odd-sounding places, is the unique talent Ganci brings to his Christian fiction novels.

In 'David, God's Chosen Crucible,’ David is every man’s man, an outlaw prophet, a man of war, and a man of God. He is a ruthless warrior, an ardent lover, a skilled musician, and a poet-philosopher. God sees in him the heart of a lion, the tenacity of a bear, and an ever-faithful man of action. Thus, God calls an unlikely and lowly shepherd boy to become the king of the Jews and the fighting prince of Israel.

David overcomes all odds in escaping every snare, evading every trap, and learns from every encounter, growing in understanding and effectiveness in the love of his Creator. He protects, defends, and enlarges the stakes of Zion, the resting place of God’s chosen people. David reaches the pinnacle of all worldly success. He marries the love of his life and is the master of all he surveys, surpassing his imagination. Witness the steamy twofold seduction of Bathsheba, a married woman and her soul mate, the insatiable romantic David, her king, her equal, and her indomitable lover.

Readers will relish this incredible enchanting historical fiction. Experience the heart-pounding narrow escapes from the vengeful King Saul, be a party to the kidnapping of David’s two wives and his ferocious battle against the shapeshifting Amalekites, and be present as he wins them back and, in doing so, captures a vast treasure trove of flocks, herds, and gold that helps to secure his two kingdoms. Readers will join the battle at Mount Gilboa. Witness the destruction of Saul and his sons foretold by the witch of Endor, celebrate the fall of the city of waters and the last puzzle piece needed to establish the empire of Israel, look down from the high walls of Rabbah and learn of the required destruction of Uriah the Hittite. Then stand invited to the marriage feast of David and his soulmate Bathsheba, the future mother of King Solomon, the future monarch of Israel.

Reading Ganci’s books is a stark reminder that humans have not changed much over the last 3000 years. And that is what makes them so relatable today. While the characters in the Bible did not have to deal with climate change, Q-Anon, market crashes, Bitcoin schemes, Russian aggression, Covid-19, or any of our modern day problems, they did indeed deal with mass killings, kings who refused to be removed from power, liars, thieves, illegal land grabs, unjustified war and a plethora of other human issues still with us today. Only the labels have changed.

Readers and reviewers alike have praised the new book."

"Although most people are aware of the story of David and Goliath, the giant, 'David: God's Chosen Crucible' by Joseph Ganci is a brilliant retelling of all the stories about the Shepard boy who would one day become a King of Israel. Reading with all the informational value of a history textbook is deftly combined with the entertainment of an action/adventure novel."
Michael J. Carson Reviewer for Midwest Book Review.

"David God's Chosen Crucible is intelligently plotted, well-researched, and expertly executed. The writing by Joseph Ganci is wonderful, and the author has the gift of filling the narrative with exciting details, describing a setting that is colorful and transports readers to biblical times."
Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite

"Joseph delivers an extremely believable story that fills the gaps smoothly and neatly packs various events into an intense, multiple-viewpoint narrative. The book also contains several lessons and messages to help believers grow in faith and knowledge about God's ways."
Foluso Falaye - San Francisco book review

The new book is available on Amazon in e-Book, paperback, hardcover, and an audio edition. The eBook version will be available on Amazon at no charge on December 16 and December 20, 2022.

Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring awe-inspiring stories to life and, ultimately, to film. He believes that connecting facts is far more enchanting than loosely fitting fantasies. He works within an engaging and dramatized fiction framework that remains faithful to uphold spiritual principles while exceedingly rich in detail.

Ganci bases his work on three primary pillars:

* The rock-solid cornerstone is historical biblical geography.

* The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues.

* The research is concrete and firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

Ganci fills in the blanks with rock-solid research and prophetic revelations. It is a style that has allowed him to create breakthrough approaches that are exciting and breathtaking while remaining within the limits of sound biblical teachings.

Ganci is also the creator of 'Incredible Bible Mysteries,' a five-part video series now available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK0Op2dYhMXtz7nh2D__keQ.

Ganci believes that Old Testament revelations are the Word of God. Simultaneously, many needful details remained buried until the information age of discovery made them prominent and visible to the naked eye. These insights create a middle ground of understanding. As a dedicated and highly motivated researcher, he proposes many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts. He shines a new light on ancient texts and removes the black-or-white argument of the all-or-nothing question of modern-day revelations. He is adept at untangling philosophical and theological human-made knots. He allows us to look at what some consider foregone conclusions.

Readers of his bestseller, 'Gideon, The Sound and the Glory' will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, why David found himself at battle with Goliath, and much much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.

Joseph Ganci was honored as one of the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading in the 2017 Book Awards. 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, "Joseph Ganci's prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes rise to a masterful recreation. They are woven into the story to allow the reader to enjoy its inspiration and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and dynamics of life within the community of God's chosen people. Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action." Other reviewers have used phrases such as "riveting," "amazing," "deftly crafted," and "highly recommended."

The Best Gift For Home School Teachers And Students - The Victor, Bestselling Book By Marlayne Giron


Giron is considered to be a great new voice in Christian Fiction and writes fiction with a mission. Influenced by epic tales such as Rings of Power and Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, the book will be of special interest to homeschoolers, as a no-charge student workbook is also available at her website.

It is always difficult to find a gift for teachers. More so for homeschool teachers. Supplies are always welcome of course, but can be uninteresting and a bit boring. The same with quiz books or software. For homeschool teachers, student boredom can be a real issue also. There is one gift for homeschool teachers that can solve both problems, and is guaranteed to catch the interest of home school students 12 and up - The Victor, by best selling author Marlayne Giron.

Giron's highly praised Christian Fantasy Fiction e-book, 'The Victor', was heavily influenced by Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and has an endorsement by New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee on the front cover.

Destined to become a classic, the new book is an inspirational historical fantasy fiction book written for ages 12 and up. This spellbinding tale is set apart from other Christian fiction books by her subtle but powerful method of presenting Christian principles embedded in a majestic adventure that is gripping, riveting, and engaging for readers of any age. It is perfect as a home school resource for both English and history curriculum.

As noted on Giron's website, a companion lesson plan is available for advanced Language Arts students in upper middle school through high school. The Lesson Plan explores the language and Biblical symbolism of the novel and works especially well for Christian homeschoolers. Because the Christian Bible plays such a powerful role in history and sociology, the book is recommended for non-Christians as well.

The lesson plan contains a vocabulary list, chapter summary questions, pronunciation guide, guide to allegorical symbolism, short biography about the author, and a bit about the armor that knights and their horses wore during medieval times. End of chapter questions about content are interspersed with ideas for further study, and essay topics.

The Victor and its Lesson Plan work well with the Classical Conversations method of home schooling. According to the Classical Conversations website, “Classical Conversations is a proven Christian homeschool program created by parents for parents. We do this through a Christ-centered and family-friendly approach to homeschooling that makes everything biblical and hospitable, focused on three simple key areas: Classical, Christian and Community.

Our home education program covers K-4 to college credit and includes college degree opportunities for parents, as well. We believe that you are the best educator for your student, and we make the homeschool journey doable. We not only provide you with a consistent roadmap that you can follow at your own pace, but also connect you with a local homeschool community group, giving you accountability and the support of knowing you are not in this journey alone.

From its origins in 1997 with eleven students and parents in the basement of Leigh Bortins’ North Carolina home to proudly serving over 45,000 families now enrolled in its programs spread over 50 countries globally, Classical Conversations always was and always will be about family. The Bortins family has always valued following God’s guidance in teaching other families how to “train up their children in the way that they should go.”

The student workbook is available at no charge at Giron’s website at https://thevictorbook.com/download-the-free-student-workbook-and-chivalry-studies/.

Readers and reviewers have praised the book. Robert Heath, Founder and Director of Kids for Christ/USA, stated, "The Victor is an absolute 'literary masterpiece' that should be required reading in High Schools across the land. In fact, if there was a required reading list for Christians, The Victor would have to be on it."

NY Time bestselling author Tosca Lee said, "The Victor is an epic adventure of love, loss, and triumph over evil. Giron’s characters leap off the page into medieval battles, jousts, quests, and romance. Fans of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and medieval fantasy will not want to miss out on this classic tale!"

Karen Koch, former editor of the Christian Home Educators Association of California Magazine stated, "I loved this book. The author had me at castles, sword fights, and a gentle romance, but the novel reveals an eternal story of good vs. evil that is much deeper than just what’s on the surface. Middle and high school students (and their parents) will love this account of adventure, drama, betrayal, sacrifice, and ultimate victory."

Kathi Macias, bestselling author of nearly sixty books said, "Author Marlayne Giron has woven together a fast-paced adventure and a tender love story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, even as they are caught up in the lives of believable characters, both good and evil. The Victor will introduce – or reintroduce – readers to the majestic story of the Bible, a story of love, redemption, and victory. Though aimed at high-school aged readers, adults will be captivated by it as well. Highly recommended!"

The book is currently available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Marlayne-Giron/e/B09YQPRVL7/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1.
