Vision Reveals That Jesus’ Birthday Is September 19 Says John The Apostle

John the Apostle reports that on August 19, 2017, God revealed to him in a dream that Jesus was born on September 19 in the year 3 BC and that Christ now calls Christian Churches to celebrate Jesus’ birthday on September 19.

From the 'Christ Speaks' page of his website at www.dazzlinglight.org, John the Apostle writes that “On August 19, 2017, God revealed to me in a dream that Jesus was born on September 19 in the year 3 BC". As a result, in a YouTube video entitled ‘Jesus’ Birthday is 9/19’, John the Apostle reveals Christ’s call for Christian Churches to change the season of Advent from December to September and to then culminate with the celebration of Jesus’ birth on September 19.

“Brothers and Sisters could you imagine what would happen if Christian Churches in America started celebrating Christ’s birth on Jesus Birthday of September 19 and not December 25? I wonder, would the nation follow suit or would the public and the private sector retain December 25 as a Secular Holiday?

“In 336 AD, the Roman Emperor Constantine converted the Roman Holiday of Saturnalia to a celebration of Jesus’ birth, as a means of improving the immorality on the Roman people.

“The Armies of Heaven now fight to change the celebration of Jesus’ birth from December 25 to September 19 as a means of breaking the hold of greed on Christians and as a start in preparing the Way for Jesus’ Second Coming in the future on September 19.

“Whereas the Romans were driven by immorality, Americans are driven by greed. And greed permeates all aspects of American life. The Capitalistic American Economy does not work without greed. Brothers and Sisters can you imagine the economic impact on Americans without Black Friday, without Cyber Monday, without Christmas shopping, and without Christmas credit card debt?

“Imagine the impact on all of our relationships without the pressure to buy more, more, more for those people we love? And, I ask you, when did how much we spend on someone for Christmas become the defining measure of how much we love them?

“Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I would ask each of you this final question about Christmas, 'Did God send His Son, Jesus, into the world to bolster the American economy each year?' If you answered 'No' I would challenge you to join The Armies of Heaven and raise your voice in the churches to protest America’s celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ for the sake of the almighty dollar and then use this protest as a sign to all the world that we are readying ourselves for Jesus’ Second Coming on September 19 in a future year.

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."

Infant Baptism By Catholics Vs Scripture; Evangelical Outreach Ex Catholic Dan Corner Takes Issue With The Catechism Of The Catholic Church

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.

Can Biblical truth be debated by man? And, if so, would the consensus reached be based on the Word of God?

Infant baptism is one such issue that has been debated endlessly since the Middle Ages. There are two broad schools of thought. In an article on AboutCatholics.com entitled "A Simple Defense of Infant Baptism", the article states "Infant baptism is one of the traditions that was handed down, but not recorded in the Scriptures."

Another page on Catholic.com states, "Since the New Testament era, the Catholic Church has always understood baptism differently, teaching that it is a sacrament which accomplishes several things, the first of which is the remission of sin, both original sin and actual sin—only original sin in the case of infants and young children, since they are incapable of actual sin; and both original and actual sin in the case of older persons."

Should infants be baptized? Evangelical Outreach ex-Catholic Dan Corner had this to say:

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:

"...Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: 'Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.' " (CCC 1213).

"The practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit testimony to this practice from the second century on, and it is quite possible that, from the beginning of the apostolic preaching, when whole "households" received baptism, infants may also have been baptized." (CCC 1252)

"By Baptism all sins are forgiven, the original sin and all personal sins, as well as all punishment for sin." (CCC 1263)

The Catholic Church has made water baptism a salvation issue, thereby elevating it to the pinnacle of importance, even including infants as participants. Throughout the New Testament, Christians have baptized by immersion only those who have a submissive faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and who have put to death their sinful nature. These Christian (New Testament) prerequisites for baptism are in opposition to Roman Catholicism and its traditions of men.

There is not a single example of an infant being baptized anywhere in scripture. The Catholic Church has departed from God's word for its teaching, thereby violating scripture with that too (2 Tim. 3:16,17). Such a departure from Holy Writ immediately disqualifies all infants from baptism, thereby indicting the Catholic magisterium as teaching salvation error, but there are other doctrinal problems as well.

The Roman Catholic Church believes "household" baptism, as found in scripture, 'quite possibly'  included infants. Such Catholic conjecture does not meet the burden of proof and does not constitute evidence of infant baptism. On the contrary, scriptural evidence shows that "household" includes people old enough to be believer's in Jesus Christ, excluding all infants:

Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed (John 4:53).

Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized (Acts 18:8).

These examples are consistent with the Lord's standard criteria: first become a disciple and then be baptized (Mt. 28:18-20). Therefore, it is impossible for any infant to qualify for Christian baptism.

Again, to teach one is 'reborn' or 'regenerated' at baptism is salvation falsehood of the gravest kind. A prime biblical example disproving baptismal regeneration is Cornelius and his "household" (Acts 11:14). When they heard Peter speak out, "All the prophets testify about him [the Lord Jesus Christ] that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name" (Acts 10:43), they believed, were forgiven and filled with the Holy Spirit instantly. Since God would never fill a child of the devil with his Holy Spirit, then we know they were forgiven and saved, which occurred before and without their water baptism (Acts 10:43-48).

The repentant thief, who qualified for Paradise, is another clear example of someone being forgiven without water baptism (Lk. 23:42,43). That same repentant thief through his faith in the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus met the John 3:5 "born of water and the Spirit" requirement to enter God's kingdom, and without water baptism.

Paul spiritually begat all at Corinth through his gospel preaching (1 Cor. 4:15), but he did not baptize all at Corinth (1 Cor. 1:14-16). That would have been impossible if baptism were a requirement for salvation. 1 Cor. 1:17 shows Paul was "sent" to preach the gospel, but not to baptize. By that he told his listeners that forgiveness of sins comes through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 26:17,18; 16:31; etc.). These bible truths do not, however, negate the believer's baptism. Christian baptism is to be done very soon after salvation for the pledge of a clear conscience toward God (1 Pet. 3:21).

Because of the RCC "paedobaptism" (infant or pediatric baptism) error, Catholicism has its dearest people thinking they were 'born again', without faith in Jesus, at infant baptism. This Catholic practice is completely foreign to God's written word, yet all who believe scripture are anathemized by the Catholic Council of Trent (Session Seven).             

Never forget that, in order to be completely 100% safe from all religious deception, you must rely solely on God’s written word as it is the only true source of all Christian teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. The man of God is thoroughly furnished or fully equipped with scripture alone (2 Tim. 3:16,17). To depart to any other source, which contradicts God's word, will surely lead to error. Such departure from Holy Writ, on the part of Catholic tradition, has resulted in serious, deadly error as it clashes with the Word of God and, therefore, it cannot be God’s life-giving truth.

True biblical salvation occurs at the point of a trusting and submitting faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which includes turning away from all idols (1 Thess. 1:9b; Acts 20:21; 26:20; etc.). Our personal need for the Lord Jesus is universal and could not be more urgent and dire: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God" ( 1Cor. 6:9-11, NASB).

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.

What Would Jesus Say About Depression, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder And Anxiety - Terry Allan Christian Provides The Answer In 'What Did Jesus Say, The Seven Messages From The Master'

The Seven Messages from the Master contain 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.

Depression is a very broad problem that manifests in many different forms. It affects a huge percentage of the population, both in the US and worldwide. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that over 16 million of adults in the US alone experienced one major episode of depression in 2016. The World Health Organization's estimate comes in at 300 million people worldwide. Our resources have been stretched to the breaking point and everyone - from teachers to counselors to psychologists to parents and grandparents - struggle to uncover real solutions to this overwhelming challenge.

What is the answer?

What we might find surprising is the fact that the answer to any form of depression is available to everyone today and, in fact, has been available for centuries. Terry Christian, author, teacher and speaker, provides that answer in his latest book, 'What Did Jesus Say... The Seven Messages From The Master'. Terry’s message is crystal clear.

"What would Jesus say about depression, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder or anxiety attacks? The first thing JESUS would say is, 'Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.'- Matthew 11:28-30

"Depression, PTSD and other mental issues are real and if we allow it, it divides us and we become ‘double-minded’ in our thinking about our life experiences, whether in combat, (military) or abuse in the home or tragic real-life events and sometimes its caused by self-abuse too. Jesus said, 'These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.' -John 16:33

"While our mental issues are real, let’s remember God is real too and when the mind accepts God, then all things are possible with God and it can change everything.

"A ‘divided’ mind will not let the person direct their own life. Our mind is the one thing we can influence, or it will influence us. What we don't conquer in our mind, we must serve in life, and what we do conquer in our mind, must serve us in life. The more we 'think on purpose', with a purpose and for a purpose, the more we’ll achieve that purpose. Jesus Said. 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.' - Matthew 12:25

"The only thing greater than our mind, is our spirit where our beliefs reside. Whatever we believe is true, our mind accepts as true. When we argue for our limitations then sure enough, they're ours and that's why one person can overcome, what another cannot. Misery and heartache both love company because it makes them more comfortable. The same is true for those who seek love and truth and have been healed because they have in common that 'divine healing' is real so our circle of influence does influence us – get around like minded people.

"Whatever we confront in our mind that troubles us will diminish in power, and whatever we let confront us and stir up fear, worry or sadness will increase in power.

"If you truly desire to be healed, then consider these 3 mental truths.

#1- We talk to ourselves around 800-1200 words a minute (called thinking or self-talk) and what we think impacts our life both good or bad. That’s why some people can get so ‘sad or violent’ and destroy themselves in one minute or become excited, inspired and change for the better in one minute.

#2- Our nervous system (controlling our emotional responses) can't tell if what we're thinking is ‘really happening’ or just vividly imagined. That's why TV, movies, books and life-events are so impacting on our emotions. Whoever replays in their mind the events that bothered them or inspired them, their nervous system often reacts as if it’s really happening again and in truth, its only in our imagination.

#3- The major key to our emotional or physical healing is what we ‘say to ourselves’ and what ‘we believe is true’. It’s often best to accept the worst and go for the best by seeking healing and restoration from God our creator."

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 http://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.

Pioneer Women Propel Events In The Compelling Historical Fiction Trilogy 'Daughters Of Courage' By Award Winning Author 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. Strong women and Crow's own family history form the core of these highly praised historical fiction novels.

Through every generation, America's women have exhibited courage, spirit and faith. While this is especially true today, as evidenced by the stories about strong women making headlines every day, America's past is likewise filled with stories of resolute pioneer women who persevered against seemingly impossible odds.

The pioneer women of early America faced challenges we cannot imagine. These heroically strong women, armed with little more than raw grit and courage, helped to establish America as a leader on the world stage. For this series, an Idaho pioneer family saga, Crow turned to stories of her own family.

“In telling the story of my family and other women through the first half of the 20th century I was fascinated to learn how the challenges faced by our desert pioneer women differed from the more frequently told sodbuster stories. Imagine having your nearest water supply 15 miles away in the Snake River after Indian Creek dried up every spring. Imagine air so dry that laundry done by hand and spread on sagebrush bushes would be dry in 20 minutes—even at night. Imagine your only available fresh meat being jack rabbits—and those maggot-infested.

“Yet, these courageous women didn't merely survive—they triumphed. And, most touching to me, found time at night to sit down and write in their journals—a stirring testimony to the power of literature.”

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 45 books, mostly novels of British history. The award-winning 'Glastonbury', an Arthurian grail search epic covering 15 centuries of English history, is her best-known work.

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'.

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 favorite authors 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.

Where There is Love is a 6-book historical series of the enduring legacy of love and faith—stories of real people and stirring events through 18th and 19th century England.

Readers and reviewers alike have raved about Crow's work, all based on her trademark meticulous research. Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times best-selling author said, "Crow's ability to put the reader into history is remarkable." Lenore Person of Guidepost Books stated about The Daughters of Courage, "It's rare to find novels that combine a strong Christian ethic with such compelling storytelling. Because these are real people and real events, the experiences of faith challenged and faith triumphant are all the more meaningful. I hope that Donna Fletcher Crow's loving testament to her grandmother and mother and to the brave men and women who shaped our country will touch you as much as it did me."

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
The Fields of Bannockburn, First Place Historical Fiction, National Federation Press Women
Professional Achievement Award, Northwest Nazarene College
Juvenile Books Award of Merit, Idaho Press Women
Top Idaho Author
Pacesetter Award, Mt. Hermon Writers Conference
Outstanding Historical Fiction, Idaho Press Women, National Federation of Press Women,
Idaho Writer of the Year
Best Inspirational Novel, Finalist Romance Writers of America
Writer of the Year, Mt. Hermon Writers Conference

Balanced Leadership Concept Developed By Rocky Romanella, One Of The Best Motivational Speakers In America, Provides The Structure For The 100 Day Business Plan For 2019

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.

The best corporate motivational speakers and keynote speakers, those at the very top of the list, have some key skills in common. They have developed the ability to energize, inspire, motivate and engage their audiences. Some leadership motivational speakers take keynote speaking to entirely new levels however. Rocky Romanella is one of those rare leadership motivational speakers who teaches leaders how to forge a dynamic leadership team based on the all-encompassing concept of Balanced Leadership.

The three components in Balanced Leadership are Our Customers, Our People and Our Stakeholders. All of this is built on a framework that puts less emphasis on "doing things right" and instead focuses on "doing the right thing" for those three groups.

"Creating a strong culture is critical to your company’s long-term success and growth, Romanella stated. "It should be desire of the senior leadership team to create the best, the brightest, most informed and best educated management team in the industry.

"In the service business, people are our most important asset. The time we spend with our people is an investment in the future, not an expense or burden on our time. This time you spend with your people is an investment.

"You cannot successfully grow your business without an investment in people. This is an important first step to building a performance culture. This investment in your people will result in successful results for your company and personal and professional growth for you.

"We must view the business through the eyes of a leader. As your company is evolving into a performance-driven organization it will be connected by the principles of Balanced Leadership. This is where every leader should:

• Think like a customer by approaching each challenge as a true solutions provider.
• Feel like a valued individual by knowing your work matters and you are part of the solution not part of the problem, and you will never compromise on safety.
• Act like an owner by understanding the business and your role in what leads to success.
• Process ties it all together and allows us the ability to replicate the results over time and new people.

"To move forward, you will need to embrace this Balanced Leadership philosophy along with the goals and objectives though walking the talk and your daily actions. Your success will be measured by the degree to which everyone in your organization at every level begins to understand, embrace, emulate, and execute the vision and strategy. In my view, leadership is about building a bridge to the future. You give your team the opportunity to help build that bridge by communicating and educating each one of them on the vision and strategy."

More information on the development of a 100-day business plan and a wealth of other strategic planning material is available in Romanella’s highly praised book, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership'. Rocky brings these principles to life in his engaging and highly entertaining keynote presentations and breakout sessions.

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.

Award Winning Author Rusty Blackwood Announces Release Of New Romantic Fiction Novel, 'The Perils Of Autumn'

Blackwood's latest 5 star romance novel follows 'Willow’s Walk' and 'Passions In Paris', a romantic fiction novel written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come

Rusty Blackwood, award winning author of 'Passions in Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary' and 'Willow's Walk', has announced the release of her latest 5-star award winning romantic fiction novel, 'The Perils of Autumn'.

The latest novel, set primarily in the early 1970’s, centers on a young Kentucky woman. Autumn Leeves is born in 1946 to Abigail Leeves, an unwed mother who struggles to make ends meet. Shunned by society of the time, mother and daughter find themselves in peril until they meet a kind old shopkeeper who takes them in.

By 1970, Autumn graduates nursing school and is sent on assignment by the local hospital to care for the terminally-ill wife of middle-aged English equestrian master, Cyril Landon. Landon is the owner of Landon Lawns Stables, successful thoroughbred racing stable located just outside Lexington, Kentucky. Duff Taylor, world renowned jockey lives full-time at Landon Lawns and enjoys the many benefits it brings. Duff has a dark secret surrounding an unsolved racing incident from his past that he will go to any length to protect.

Autumn arrives at Landon Manor in time to be thrown into the fray, and finds herself caught in the ongoing disruption that ensues. Cyril and Autumn find themselves attracted to each other, but their ensuing romance is plagued by those trying to stop it, but they rise above it and marry. However peril again knocks at the door when Abigail suddenly dies, leaving a pregnant Autumn to mourn her loss while fighting to not miscarry her baby who is born through a perilous birth.

"I am so pleased to bring my latest novel, 'The Perils of Autumn', to readers everywhere," Blackwood stated. "This fictional drama, with heart-touching romance throughout, is sure to take the reader on the same exciting ride found within the world of professional thoroughbred racing, and equestrian show events, that of which is presented within the pages of this novel, primarily set in early 1970's Kentucky. I have always adored horses and the special bond that often develops between horse and rider, as well as the required trust, especially when thundering down a dirt track at full gallop, or approaching a huge hurdle that could very well be the last jump for either of them.

"I have always admired nurses, and the compassion and expertise they bring to their profession. And finally, I hold immense respect for women of yesteryear, whom through circumstances beyond their control, used their resilience and determination to move forward within a social standard working against them. I decided to combine these subjects in a story that would shine a light on all three. If you enjoy a read filled with compassion, determination and secrets, all combined within the world of the Triple Crown, then you are certain to enjoy this novel."

Reviewers have praised the new book. Ray Simmons said, "Romance and good writing come together perfectly in Rusty Blackwood's 'The Perils of Autumn'. A great read." Trudi LoPreto said, "This book has it all and more. Please do not pass up 'The Perils of Autumn' - you will not be sorry."

Blackwood's previous romantic fiction novel, 'Willow's Walk', followed the release of 'Passions in Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary'. Her first romantic fiction novel is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'.

Willow's Walk' is a gripping new tale, certain to hold readers captive from the very first page. Set in the beautiful city of Ottawa, Canada in 2003, this touching story centers on the life and times of a woman determined to prevail at all costs, regardless of what is set before her, the result of which is certain to leave the reader reeling in its wake.

'Willow's Walk' also received a number of 5 star reviews from professional reviewers. Maria Beltran stated, "I highly recommend this book." Gisela Dixon said, “I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the life of a person presented in such a wonderful manner." Another said, "Brutally honest. I was touched by the bittersweet conclusion that sometimes purpose and happiness are only found through great tragedy ..."

'Passions in Paris' likewise received rave reviews. Linkk Kula Kane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands its ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks." Reader Fred Pifer stated that “'Passions', is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout."

Information on all of Blackwood's work is available at Blackwood's site. Readers can download paperback and Kindle versions of her books at Amazon sites worldwide, including Amazon.ca.'Rusty Blackwood, A 3 Part Retrospect' is available at her website and on Youtube.

God's Favor May Come Disguised As Luck Or Chance Says Five-Time Winning Florida Christian Author Donna Louis

Christian author Donna Louis was named Top Female Author in the 2018 Top Female Author Awards. Her book, entitled ‘Miracles Of Direction’, is an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. She has also announced the release of her newest book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs Wilderness'

In an article posted on her website, multi-award-winning Christian author Donna Louis shows us that what we might consider to be "luck" or "fortunate chance" may instead be God looking out for our best interests. An act of favor is an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual.

The Bible is literally filled with examples of intercessions from God on behalf of characters in the Bible. While we might not believe it, all of us are as deserving of God's favor as any one of the people featured in these stories.

Thou hast granted me life and favor, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. – Job 10:12

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield. – Psalm 5:12

Lord, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. – Psalm 30:7

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. – Psalm 89:17

So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. – Proverbs 3:4

More about God's favor is available at http://www.miraclebook.net.

"We all receive God’s favor daily," Louis stated. "The first blessing of favor is he breathed life into us to live another day. There are 86,400 seconds in a day, and we are not guaranteed to live through all of them. The ability to have use of all our senses, giving birth to a healthy baby, having an abundance of clean fresh water to drink, having a healthy heart with no pacemaker, winning a scholarship to a four-year college, being named the valedictorian of your graduating class, celebrating 50 years of marriage with the one you love. The list is endless of God’s favor. Thank him, praise him, and honor him daily."

Louis was recently 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.

Louis' win follows four awards in the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading Awards contest (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018), and one nomination in the 2017 Top Female Authors Awards.

Louis has also announced that several radio interviews will be available including one centered on 'Miracles of Direction' on January 24 and another on January 28 about her Top Female Authors win in the Religion category. Both will be featured at The Authors Show site at http://www.theauthorsshow.com. The interviews will be available worldwide for 24 hours a day on those dates.

Donna Louis helps readers explore miracles both past and present. Her book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' 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 example 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.

The book is available with discounted pricing at Payhip at http://www.payhip.com/themagic.

Louis has also announced the upcoming release of her latest Christian book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs Wilderness'.

'Book of Proverbs – Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves into the need for gaining greater wisdom. The primary purpose of the Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom to everyone. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth and insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a fortunate and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

The newest book discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter to solidify why wisdom is essential and mandatory in life, so readers can live a blessed life versus living a life that is destitute, empty, and obsolete. It is scheduled for release in 2019.

Louis was chosen as a winner in the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards contest. 'Miracles' has also received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

She is also now making her current book available to both hurricane relief organizations and Christian organizations to be used as a fundraising tool. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the e-book may be donated to those organizations that qualify. Churches and other charitable organizations are welcome to contact Donna using the information below to discuss the details of the program.

More information is available at her website. ‘Miracles Of Direction’ is available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at her website at http://www.miraclebook.net.

About Donna Louis:

Donna Louis is happily married to her husband of 30 years Patrick Louis and currently resides in Florida. She lives to accomplish the task that God created her for and on a daily basis to follow Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

School Shooting Lockdowns Can Traumatize Young Children - Award Winning Author, Psychologist And Selfie Filmmaker Barbara Becker Holstein Helps Open The Doors Of Communication Via The Selfie Project

Dr. Holstein, a psychologist/filmmaker and originator of a unique Selfie Film concept, writes award-winning books, plays and produces short films that offer solutions to problems that impact today's teens and tweens

A recent story on the Washington Post website detailed some of the psychological effects school lockdowns create in school age children. The story was as heartbreaking as it was eye-opening. Some young children weep with terror. Others write final messages to family members - and worse.

Our children do not deserve to be subjected to such horrific lockdown situations in places where they should feel completely safe. Sadly though, it is necessary. Therefore the question we must ask ourselves as parents, grandparents and educators is - "What can we do to help them?"

Award winning author, Positive Psychologist and selfie filmmaker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has an answer that is as powerful as it is unique.

"We must help our children feel comfortable expressing their emotions, from joyous to despairing. Typically it is easy to be delighted and happy when kids express delight and are in a good mood. However when a child is cross, or pouting, crying over ‘nothing’ or having some sort of meltdown we are less resourceful as adults. We yell, we put down, we try minor punishments. Often we are unsuccessful.

“What is often not acknowledged is that kids have dark emotions just as we do. This is particularly hard when it comes to issues around going to school. Most of us never had to worry about our safety once we entered the school building. In fact, for many, school was seen as a kind of sanctuary, a place away from a dysfunctional family, or a place with a great library and a free lunch and even milk in the morning.

“Kids today often see school as a kind of battlefield. Their nerves are on edge. Will there be a shouting today? Will it be my school this time? Often kids don’t know how to express their anxiety successfully. Here is where ‘The Selfie Project’ comes in. As a psychologist I recognize the importance of venting the more difficult emotions and thoughts we experience.

“One way to get started is to encourage your child to make a Selfie video on what is on her mind about school. Then watch it together, if your child is comfortable with that and discuss the issues brought up.

“Giving a child a chance to privately vent and then moving toward a discussion about how she feels in school can be very helpful to both of you. Maybe there are things you can do as a parent to make things better, from more understanding at home to involvement with the school system to political action.”

Dr. Holstein is currently developing 'The Selfie Project' to help kids share their feelings and thoughts in a meaningful way via Selfies that can reach millions. "The Selfie Project" provides a way for young people to go public on a number of subjects. Bullying is real, school violence is real, drama because of social media is real for kids. 'The Selfie Project' is giving voice to those subjects. A pilot TV show is in the development phase. Teens will have a chance to discuss via their Selfies and in discussion with Dr. Holstein, various topics that affect their lives, from friend drama to fear of assault weapons. As of this moment, teens can share a link to their Selfies and Dr. Holstein will consider them for inclusion on her website, SelfieFilmmakers.com.

Holstein's short films have won numerous awards and accolades.

Best Restaurants In Tokyo Detailed By Tokyo Table, A Guide To Where To Eat In Tokyo

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

Tokyo Table, branded as the definitive source for dining enthusiasts, has a single mission - to help travelers find the best restaurants in Tokyo. While some travelers may prefer Michelin restaurants, others may prefer simple, everyday food. What all travelers have in common is the desire to find the best restaurant in Tokyo, however that might be defined by the traveler.

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.

"Having visited every restaurant on this list, I can personally guide you to all the best places and why you should visit them," she stated. "Here you will find a wide variety of restaurants, but they all share in common the perfect mix of hospitality, ambience and quality cuisine to create a memorable evening.

"Tokyo has become the gastronomic capitol of the world. In a single week, you can dine in the Tokyo branches of some of the best restaurants from all over the world, including Michelin-starred restaurants from France, Spain, Italy, Japan and China, as well as the very best of what Japan has to offer.

"Tokyo, though, is more that just haute cuisine. It’s also renowned for fabulous everyday food, with an attention to detail that rivals the best restaurants of the world. Tokyo has 234 Michelin-starred restaurants and 278 Michelin Bib Gourmands. And these are just the beginning.

"Tokyo offers the best food for any price range, impeccable quality, and dedication to service at even the humblest of restaurants. But how to choose? My training as a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef will help you to navigate the Tokyo food scene and find the right place for the right moment."

In addition to the 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.

"When I review restaurants," Crow concluded, "I bring all the perspectives together and look at three things: quality from the perspective of a professional chef, the warm hospitality of being invited to share something of a culture, and value for the experience."

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.

Award Winning Author Gina Iafrate Announces New Romantic Fiction Novel, 'Bestowed By Love And Splendour'

Iafrate's sweeping, extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters.

Author Gina Iafrate has announced the release of a new romantic fiction novel, 'Bestowed by Love and Splendour'. Gina Iafrate writes sweeping family sagas that allow readers to travel the globe without leaving home. Like fine pieces of music, her books are layered, providing readers with intricately formed mental images, punctuated by dramatic movements. Gina's extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters.

The new romance novel is the breath-taking story of a broken-hearted wife and mother who is taken away from a tormented life. On the exotic island of Sardinia, she becomes hypnotized by nature's beauty; the cloudless sky, the emerald blue hues of the sea and the gentleness of the people.

But fate strikes once more. Destiny takes over and transports her to a world beyond her imagination, allowing her to find peace, love, and splendour.

In 'The Girl From The Cornfield', it is 1950 and Giuliana Ferrante is growing up in a sleepy town deep in the Italian mountains. Her young life is rocked to its core by a vicious attack that shatters the peaceful existence that she and many around her have always taken for granted. Giuliana, determined to make a future for herself, flourishes by working tirelessly toward her education, securing a legal degree and ultimately a successful position in the business world. She conquers all with kindness and love, managing to rise above the painful memories of her youth. This sweeping, inspirational tale hurdles across time, countries, and characters as it explores how love can heal, reconcile, and restore.

Iafrate is also the author of 'The English Professor'. In that book, Andrew Robertson, an introverted, middle-aged professor leaves his unremarkable London life to embark on a journey to Sicily where strangers welcome him kindly.

New Book By Dr. Richard Ruhling, 'Turkey Soup', Claims Jesuit Role In Lincoln, JFK Deaths And Trillions Lost - Sixty Percent of Taxes To Vatican

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

“Follow the money” is a key concept in-Dr. Richard Ruhling’s new book, 'Turkey Soup for People who are Chicken about End-Times', subtitled ‘How 9/11 Points US to Judgment in 2019’. The new book should be appealing to Protestants, patriots and Catholics who are wondering where the pope is going.

Ruhling claims a Jesuit role in the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the same idea that millions of patriots and President Trump see as a problem. The ebook on Amazon Kindle has a link to Karen Hudes, International Monetary Fund ex-lawyer who says 60% of taxes go to the Vatican.

While this may sound like Catholic-bashing to some, Ruhling says he has Catholic friends and relatives who are fine Christians, but he says they don’t know what their leaders are doing to regain the lost supremacy of the Old World Order when kings did what popes wanted and burned heretics at the stake, 50-100 million by some historian estimates.

"That’s why pioneers risked life at sea and starvation or Indians for freedom in a new world. But the New World Order (bottom of pyramid on $1 bill) is also a Vatican strategy. Bible prophecy shows the pope riding that beast in-imagery in Rev 17:3," said Ruhling.

His ebook claims a Catholic role in mentoring young Muhammad. It explains how Mary, Fatima and use of force are common to both religions. The intent was to have Muslims capture Jerusalem from Jews and Christians and turn it over to Rome. When they reneged, they had the ‘Holy Wars’ to take Jerusalem from the Infidels.

The pope was the only foreign entity to recognize Jefferson Davis as “the illustrious President of the Southern States,” and Catholic Supreme Court Justice Roger Tany said the Negro has no rights that the white man is bound to respect (cited in Ruhling's book). The book claims JFK’s statement about secret societies and his intent to abolish the Federal Reserve was his death sentence-the CIA is also called "Catholics in Action" and their leadership have been members of secret societies.

After Reagan took a bullet, he decided to go along and he appointed an ambassador to the Vatican and opened our southern border that has changed the political arena, says Ruhling who is non-denominational since his church (Seventh-day Adventist) failed to protest those events and the pope’s coming to Congress in 2015.

"Donald Rumsfeld (Catholic) announced $2.3 trillion missing from Pentagon on the evening of Sept 10," Ruhling continued. "The next morning a plane or missile (the reporter saw no wings or plane debris) hit the Pentagon accounting department. If one can believe Muslims trained on Cessna planes could do that and take the WTC down when Building 7 wasn’t even hit, and 1000 engineers said jet fuel can’t melt steel, they might also believe 'Lord God the Pope' (one of his many titles, according to Google)."

“What business does the pope have telling US how to run the country when most of his people to the south want to come here for better opportunities?” asks Ruhling who spent a summer in Colombia and Venezuela where a third could not read or write, but were colonized by priests when America was being founded by Protestants.

Ruhling also says the pope’s Laudato Si’ is about religious legislation to close businesses on Sunday for ‘family values’ and the blessings of the Eucharist, (paragraphs 236,237).

America has been about freedom, but it will surely end if Congress accepts the pope’s plan that hypes climate change for a Sunday law like Europe is doing. Ruhling says that trillions could be saved for the environment and with huge health benefits if Congress would get behind plant-based diets that reverse disease and cut animal products. For every 100 calories consumed by livestock, they give us only 4 calories in high fat, high cholesterol foods favoring cancer, heart disease, diabetes.

But Congress gets millions from lobbyists for meat and dairy industry and are sold out, according to Ruhling. As one senator said, “They own us,” speaking of donations to their re-election when confronted by medical literature showing Rx drugs as a leading cause of death.

Ruhling’s book has information on healthcare and readers can get it for no-charge on Saturday, January 12 at https://amzn.to/2R9W02y. They can also get his ebook, Why You Shouldn’t Ask Your Doctor by leaving an email in the pop-up form at http://RichardRuhling.com.  They can unsubscribe anytime.

Dr. Richard Ruhling is available for media interviews and can be reached by email at ruhling7@juno.com. His YouTube series on Revelation suggests the Catholic all-male Trinity doctrine as false and should interest Protestants and women at https://youtu.be/lWODaMtg9U.

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?'.

This book makes a great gift too as the quality is fantastic." Another stated, "With the holidays around the corner it was great to find this book on Pearls, I now have a few names checked off my shopping list. The book arrived in good time and is going to make a great holiday gift."

Marge is available for media interviews, by e-mail at pearlsofcreation@yahoo.com. ‘Pearls of Creation’ books are available at PowellsBooks.com, Amazon.com in print and e-Book. More information is available at http://www.pearlsofcreation.com.

Profile:

Marge Dawson was born in Durban, South Africa, and has always loved the sea. Her passion for pearls originated in 1980 when she owned a franchise for “Pearls in the Oyster”. Over a period of 3 years she opened hundreds of Akoya oysters from Japan, containing the most beautiful variety pearls. The customer would choose an oyster Marge would open it, drill the pearl and set them onto rings, earrings or pendants of the customer’s choice, straight away, great fun way of shopping.
