2021 Will Be A Time Of Rebirth And Revitalization Says Donna Louis, Award Winning Author Of Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God


Louis is the multi-award-winning author of three inspirational Christian books. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

2020 was a year in which we experienced not only a pandemic, but also shocking social unrest, devastating unemployment, political divisiveness and changes we might never have imagined just a few years ago. If 2020 was a season, it would be winter - and a long, harsh one at that. Thankfully, no matter how brutal and bone-chilling, all winters must necessarily end in spring.

For many of us, springtime is our favorite time of year, as we can finally leave the numbing cold and the dreadful darkness behind us and move at last into the warmth and the light. Springtime is a time of renewed energy, growth, expansion, rebirth and revitalization.

Springtime is not just a change of season. It can also be seen as a state of mind. That reinvigorating state of mind is one of the subjects covered in Donna Louis' new inspirational Christian book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God.'

Louis presents the idea that we experience "seasons" in life, in much the same way as nature experiences seasons, with periods of both growth and decline. When we understand that, we come to see that a period of decline is not something permanent, but instead merely foreshadows a period of growth. The book, somewhat similar to the books found in 'Chicken Soup For The Soul' collections, is highly motivational and packed with powerful and engaging stories that give the reader examples of illuminating situations drawn from the lives of both Biblical-era and modern day people. She recently had this to say:

“When you are in the winter season of your life the best thing you can do is start a fire,” Louis stated. “Some of us have been fortunate to have been in the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts when we were younger. One thing they taught you is how to start a fire. There are three components to starting a campfire: The Tinder–The Kindling–The Fuel.

“Now for our purposes we will refer to the tinder which is wood and say it is the Bible. We will call the kindling prayer, and finally we will call the fuel praise and worship. We have the capability to start a fire any time, every day, even several times a day. We are encouraged to do this from the Book of Joshua: ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”–Joshua 1:8.

“It is really remarkably simple what we need to do to remove all of the plagues that are surrounding us. God said it himself in 2 Chronicles 7:14: ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Louis is also the author of 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness', which delves deeply into the timeless human quest for wisdom. As all Christians know, the primary purpose of the Biblical Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth, insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a meaningful, joyful and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

'Book Of Proverbs' discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter. It clarifies why wisdom is not only essential, but mandatory in life, if one hopes to live a blessed life, versus living destitute, empty, or feeling lost or hopeless.

Louis has won a number of industry awards. She was chosen as the winner in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards in the Religion/Philosophy/Spiritual category. Louis was chosen from an international field of contestants by a panel of judges. She was also a recent winner in the 2018 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards.

Louis' recent wins follow three awards in the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards contest (2015, 2016 and 2017), and two nominations in the Top Female Authors Awards.

Donna Louis' first book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' helps readers explore miracles both past and present. The book explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful examples of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced four miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

'Miracles' has received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

George Floyd Murder, Pandemic, Unemployment, Old Age, Poverty - How To Thrive In The Midst Of Overwhelming Adversity Is The Subject Of New Book By Award Winning Author Donna Louis


Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, and the upcoming new book 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

It is no small wonder that anxiety and depression levels are on the rise in the US. Civil unrest and division pervade our society on levels akin to the 1960's. George Floyd and Breonna Taylor represent but the tip of the iceberg. Unemployment has adversely affected a huge percentage of the population. In the midst of all of this we are forced to deal daily with the Covid-19 pandemic that has to date caused over 200,000 deaths in the US alone. While sickness is a possibility for many of us, old age is a virtual certainty.

All of this is enough to overwhelm anyone. So why is it that some people seem to be unaffected by all of this uncertainty and unrest? How is it that some people manage to maintain a positive attitude in the very midst of all of it, while the rest of us experience stress, tension, anxiety, disappointment, and frustration? Is it possible to not only survive, but to thrive in the very midst of such turmoil?

How we might do that is the subject of award-winning author Donna Louis' upcoming new book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis believes that we experience "seasons" in life, in much the same way as nature experiences seasons, with periods of both growth and decline. When we understand that, we come to see that a period of decline is not something permanent, but instead merely foreshadows a period of growth. The book, somewhat similar to the 'Chicken Soup For The Soul' collection, is highly motivational and packed with powerful and engaging stories that give the reader examples of illuminating situations drawn from the lives of both Biblical-era and modern day people. She recently had this to say:

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. As you can see when God created this world, he did it with seasons in mind. This was his intention, and this is the same way our lives are. We all go through seasons in our lives some euphoric and others despondent however we must remember that God is always with us. God told us fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. With this promise we can have confidence in knowing that whatever we are going through God will cause us to always triumph.

“The same way that God created trees in the Garden of Eden with all kinds of fruit that was good for us is the same way that God has created all manner of people black and white, the young who become old, rich and poor alike. We all can thrive in life no matter what obstacles may come our way. We must believe, have a vision, have faith, be hopeful always, have an attitude of gratitude, watch the words we speak, and trust God. Remember the Bible says I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. ‘The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.’ – Molière.”

George Floyd, Covid-19, Unemployment, Rioting And Police Brutality - There Is But One Way We Can Thrive In America Today Says Award Winning Author Donna Louis


Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, and the upcoming new book 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for our happiness and joy.

The world, and our lives here in the US, have been turned upside down it seems. We are faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, massive unemployment, and a broken economy. The murder of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake has caused a level of civil unrest that hearkens back to the 1960's. And all of it is happening at the same time. It is a period unlike any other in history.

Is it possible to maintain our sanity in the midst of all this? Of course, it is. It is possible not only to survive, but to thrive in the very midst of such turmoil. We can, given the right mindset, turn adversity into opportunity. It begins with our personal choices.

How we might do that is the subject of award-winning author Donna Louis' upcoming new book, 'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God'.

"Our world is changing so quickly it is inconceivable that we have strayed so far from Jesus," Louis stated. "Racism is at its highest height and this is not the way it should be. Peace is supposed to abound. This is what some of our greatest leaders spoke about. 'Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.' 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"We have George Floyd who was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin, who is now requesting that the charges be dropped arguing that George Floyd's alleged drug use was the reason why he died and not the inaccurate use of force by the officer. As if that was not enough, we are now dealing with the shooting of Jacob Blake that almost took his life. When does it stop? People are speaking up with massive protests, now major league sports are uniting and protesting as well. On Friday August 28, 2020 MLB celebrated the life of baseball great Jackie Robinson and released a statement about the death of Chadwick Boseman who portrayed Jackie Robinson in the movie “42.”

When asked about how he felt doing the movie about Jackie Robinson and the racism he endured Boseman said, “he took the role seriously, because he wanted "to do right by the family" and not disappoint Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson. “ When asked about the racist language that Robinson had to suffer through Boseman said, "You do get angry," hearing it, and you do feel, in a slice of that reality, somewhat like he would feel. And it's an incredible amount of courage to deal with that." Jackie Robinson dealt with racism in 1947. This is 2020 and nothing has changed.

"There was a report in the news recently that a man in Springfield went into a Walmart and started hugging people and then told them they now have Covid-19. What is possessing God’s children to behave in the manner that we are? People are going through enough daily trying to survive with the unemployment issues hanging above our heads.

"Why have we lost our JOY? Jesus – Others – You. This is the way in which we were taught by Jesus to live our lives. We are to keep LOVE first and always love our fellow man. 'And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love'. – 1 Corinthians 13:13.

George Floyd Murder, Covid-19 Pandemic And Unemployment: The Book Of Proverbs Can Provide The Guidance We Desperately Need Today Says Award Winning Author Donna Louis

Louis is the multi-award-winning author of two Christian books, 'Miracles of Direction' and 'Book of Proverbs: Wisdom Vs Wilderness'. Louis’ books reveal God’s desire for their happiness and joy.

The United States, indeed the entire world, is experiencing a level of tension and strife unlike anything seen in recent history. The Covid-19 pandemic. Record unemployment. And now demonstrations all over the US as the result of the murder of George Floyd. Any one of these traumatic events alone could cause us to be anxious, depressed, fearful and angry. Today we are experiencing all of them simultaneously.

This is a colossal mental health challenge. Where can we turn for help? Award winning author Donna Louis believes that through exploring the wisdom found in the Book of Proverbs we can turn the adversity found in the world into an opportunity to get closer to God.

"In this present season of life," Louis stated, "we are all dealing with several distressing issues such as the Covid-19 virus, financial issues, immigration, election integrity and many others. However, the biggest wolf right now is racism."

"One would have thought that after people such as Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, and many others that this issue would have been conquered and in our distant past. However, that is untrue. It is staring us straight in the eyes like when you shoot a bullseye dart and it lands dead center. We are presently dealing with the unthinkable loss of life with George Floyd."

"And now we see demonstrations all over the US and worldwide in places such as these: Denmark Copenhagen, Barcelona Spain, Paris France, Paderborn Germany, Liverpool Great Britian, Idlib Syria, Sydney Australia, Berlin Germany, Amsterdam Netherlands, Athens Greece, Belguim Brussles, Toronto Canada, Mexico City Mexico, Istanbul Turkey, Milan Italy, Rio De Janiero, Tokoyo Japan, Cape Town South Africa and many more as the result of the murder of George Floyd.

"With all the emotional anguish, pain, tears, anger, and a host of other issues that is inside of us we need to remember that the battle is not ours but the Lord's. We are to pray and worship and leave it in the hands of God. We have the right to protest but it needs to be peaceful protesting like how it was with Martin Luther King Jr. We are not to sink to the levels of the ones we are trying to rise above and teach the values of love, humanity, peace, dignity, and a host of other things."

"Looting and burning down businesses are not the right things to do. Remember the phrase 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' These business owners have suffered enough with being closed for this Covid-19 issue. They are not the ones who had their knee on the neck of George Floyd for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, so do not punish them. Protest non-violently, pray, and worship."
