A Halloween Treat Unlike Any Other - A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary, A Superb Murder Mystery Novel By Multi-Award Winning Author Donna Fletcher Crow
For most of us in the US, Halloween means costumes and treats. It is a time for trick or treating, eating candy, watching scary movies, telling frightening stories and other forms of entertainment for kids. We likely don't think much about Halloween's connection to the Christian tradition. The word "Halloween" is a contraction of "Hallows even" or "Hallows evening". It is observed on October 31st, the eve of the feast of All Hallows Day, now known as All Saints’ Day, which precedes All Souls' Day on November 2nd, both Christian Holy Days.
Halloween candy and trick-or-treating are fine for children, but what about the rest of us? Grownups who might wish to treat themselves may want to celebrate Halloween by reading 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary', book 4 in the acclaimed Monastery Murders series. Award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow has managed to combine the Christian Holy Days of All Saints Day, All Souls Day and a finely crafted murder mystery into another meticulously researched novel in which murder stalks the shadows of Oxford's hallowed shrines.
In spite of Antony's warning her not to get into trouble when she sets off to do a spot of translating in an Oxford convent, Felicity just can't seem to avoid danger. But it's hardly Felicity's fault that severed body parts start showing up in ancient holy reliquaries. Or that Felicity and one of the nuns is assaulted. Could the Medieval Latin document Felicity is translating for the sisters have anything to do with the repeated attacks?
When Antony arrives in Oxford with a group of students he is cool to the news that Felicity has forged an uneasy friendship with his sister Gwen, whom he hasn't seen for years. And any family reconciliation is further complicated by Antony's obligation to rush to the bedside of his dying uncle in Blackpool.
The exultation of All Saints' Day plunges to the anguish of grief on All Souls' when Felicity encounters yet another body. Who will be the next victim of the murderer stalking the shadows of Oxford's hallowed shrines?
Crow says, “Oxford has always been one of my favorite settings, both for its history and its atmosphere. This book was especially important to be because I was able to incorporate so many of my daughter’s experiences at Oxford—such as climbing to the roof of Keble College Chapel to muffle their bells for All Souls’ Day. I later had my own lesson from the Oxford University Society of Change Ringers so that my portrayal of the muffled bells—which play such an important part in this story—could be absolutely accurate.
“Such authenticity is vital to me,” she adds. “For example, I have just completed a trans-Canada journey on the train which will form the background of my next Monastery Murder. I am currently blogging on the experience at DonnaFletcherCrow.com. I invite readers to look in and join the adventure vicariously.”
Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 45 books, mostly novels of British history. The award-winning 'Glastonbury' is her best-known work, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched,", "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."
The entire Monastery Murder Series features atmospheric contemporary crimes with their roots buried deep in the middle ages. Books in the series include 'A Very Private Grave', 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary' and 'An All-Consuming Fire'.
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. Her current short story “A Nostalgic Fourth of July” is based on a scene from ‘Kathryn: Days of Loss and Hope'.
The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'. Watch for 'A Prodigious Sum of Corpses: Seeking Sanditon at Jane Austen’s Seashore', which will take the reader to the sites featured in Donna’s current blog series, following the steps of a murderer.
The Lord Danvers Victorian true-crime series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'. Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.
Where There is Love, a 6-book series of the enduring legacy of love and faith, featuring historic people and events of the 18th and 19th centuries. Where Love Begins, book 1, has just been released in print for the first time. It is the story of Catherine Peronnet whose world is in tatters. Charles Wesley is engaged to another, her brother beaten by an angry mob, and her favorite pupil forced to leave school. Catherine endures the terrors of a circuit-ride, a threatened French invasion and the Great London Earthquake before finding happiness. Other titles in the series are: Where Love Illumines, Where Love Triumphs, Where Love Restores, Where Love Shines, and Where Love Calls.
Donna Fletcher Crow's work has received a number of high-level industry honors. These include:
Where Love Begins, Best Historical Romance, Pinnacle Awards 2019

Award Winning Author Jody Sharpe To Appear At Barnes And Noble In Westlake Ohio On October 27, 2019
Award winning author Jody Sharpe will hold a book signing event on October 27, 2019 at Barnes and Noble in Westlake, OH.
Sharpe is the author of 3 books, all of which prominently feature angels in the storylines. For Jody Sharpe, writing about angels became healing after losing her daughter and then her husband. The valuable lessons she learned about moving forward and loving life in the now have set her on a mission to tell the stories with love, humor and spiritual awakening. The fictitious town of Mystic Bay has given her an avenue to put characters and themes together hopefully enlightening the reader towards contemplation of the precious life and memories we are given.
Town of Angels - It is angel vs. bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as a bully, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, Angel Ken Leighton, a storeowner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give to in to the bully’s efforts. As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angels sightings, Angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match with soft voices and intuitive minds…
To Catch An Angel - Jody is also the author of 'To Catch An Angel', written in memory of her late husband Steve. In 'To Catch An Angel', miracles happen in Mystic Bay, California, the town with the psychic and angel vibe. Angels are calling. Psychic Maggie Malone returns home to find she's swept up in the miracle of it all. She can't imagine why her mother left or who her father might be. But these questions pale in comparison to the wonder of the angels. Maggie meets writer, Noah Greenstreet. They realize they've met before, but where? Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.
The Angel's Daughter - A secret lies in Mystic Bay,California and only two people know it. First there’s Hannah, a tender curly headed half Angel Then there’s her father, Gabe, an effervescent, teddy bear of a full-blooded angel. And it’s up to Hannah to keep the secret safe but she’s made a colossal mistake telling her ex-boyfriend and writing professor, Sam Blakely. Now he’s written a book exposing the secret to the world.
Jody recently appeared as a featured author at the 2019 Payson Book Festival held in Payson AZ. She also appeared on a live interview on KPJM FM, a 501c3 non-profit corporation whose mission is to provide anti-addiction and anti-abuse education to help keep the community’s children from entering into destructive behaviors. In addition, she appears in an interview on The Authors Show, in which she discusses her latest book.
Sharpe presents stories and interviews about angels in her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog series. She is now accepting submissions of angel stories for possible inclusion on her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog. She hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters and other types of accounts or stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.
Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

Human Trafficking Must Be Stopped And Everyone Has A Role To Play Says Monica Deller Of Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches
Human trafficking is one of those issues that most of us prefer not to think about. It boggles the mind that this takes place in our modern day society. While high profile cases such as the Jeffrey Epstein story occasionally bring the problem to light, many of us simply move on and expect that some other person, organization or government program will take care of it. Monica Deller believes each of us have a part to play. As the bestselling author of 'Trauma To Triumph', she intends to use her writing talent to bring these issues to light through a new series of books, currently in production. She requests that people who have been affected by human trafficking submit their stories to her for possible publication in this new series of books.
"Human trafficking - It’s beyond what the normal mind can comprehend," Deller said in a recent blog post. "It drives all kinds of emotions, blood boiling anger, heart wrenching sadness, a passion to do something, a desire to evoke those same emotions in others in order to make people aware of this desperate need, to stop this atrocity against children but in reality no one is safe from what is going on behind the scenes. A baby, a toddler, a young child, teenagers and adults…. No one is safe. Again, I say, it’s beyond what the human mind can comprehend, the normal mind that is."
"It’s in the news more these days, which is at least making aware there is a huge issue. Just when I think I’ve written on the subject and can move on to another topic – wham, another story comes up in the news or on social media and now with what I just read, I decided I needed to land on this topic and be a part of putting the focus on this issue. This issue is very real, and we all need to do our part. Everyone, yes, everyone has a role to play in working together to stop human trafficking."
The full statement is available at Deller's website at http://www.TraumaToTriumphFamilyRanches.com. Those who wish to submit their stories anonymously for possible publication in the upcoming book series should contact Monica Deller directly by email.
Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches offers a totally unique approach to offering solutions to these problems, and many others. While other organizations hold the same goals, Trauma To Triumph is different in 3 specific ways:
They develop programs based on traditional Christian values.
They hold to the American value system as developed by our Founders
Their model is holistic in nature, covering the entire family structure.
The ranch will provide for individuals a place to come and experience the freedom of healing from strongholds, abuse, and depression. Programs, far too many in number to be listed here (see website) are designed to address the whole person spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and nutritionally.
Deller understands intimately the issues, as she has personally experienced many of them and, as a result, has written a bestselling book entitled, 'Trauma to Triumph - If I can you can too'. Readers and reviewers have lavished praise on the new book, calling it "a heart wrenching story", "uplifting and inspirational" and "a work of tremendous revelation." One Amazon reviewer said, "I absolutely loved this book - WOW, and I thought I had some rough patches in life... this will blow your mind! I love the no nonsense truth and transparency. I can relate and am already using this book to guide myself to triumph! Thank you Monica for being brave and sharing your story."
Monica Deller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at monicaedeller@gmail.com. 'Trauma to Triumph - If I can you can too' is available from booksellers including Amazon. More information regarding Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches, including full program listings and a series of articles in the 'Speak Out With Monica' section is available at her website at http://TraumaToTriumphFamilyRanches.com.
About Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches:
The mission of the organization is to give hope to people who have been affected by poverty, substance abuse, gangs, imprisonment, homelessness, abuse, and neglect, etc., by connecting them to God, through a loving relationship with Jesus Christ, and to a community of support, while helping them to develop a support system that will encourage each to make positive, long-term, God-honoring changes in their lives, thus knowing they are valued by, and have purpose in, Christ. It is their desire to provide a distinctly life changing experience to the youth, children and their families who enter in the programs at Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches. The goal is to help youth and children and their entire families change their lives, developing new habits to live confident, healed and restored lives consistently.

Bullying, Cyberbullying, Depression And Adolescent Suicide - Award Winning Author Cheryl Williams Offers Help And Advice For Young People Through Poetry And A New Video
A recent article from the Journal of Youth and Adolescence explored the relationships between bullying, cyberbullying, substance abuse, violent behavior and adolescent suicide. The information is both eye-opening and alarming. What is unnerving is that young people today are subjected to these types of challenges at such young ages. New forms of bullying have appeared that now victimize young people through technology.
The very idea of adolescent suicide is something we likely could never have imagined in generations past. However today, relentless bullying can take place 24 hours a day via social media.
Cheryl Williams, award winning author of 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life' and a victim of bullying herself, offers first-hand insight and some rock-solid advice through her poetry and a new video recently posted to Youtube.
"Bullying and cyberbullying often result in depression, self harm, and in some cases suicide," Williams stated.
"Some of us have experienced the horrifying effects first hand, While others have empathized with so many who have lost loved ones as a result of suicide due to relentless bullying.
"My poem 'Direction' is addressed to anyone who is hurting as a result of bullying, anyone who might be contemplating suicide."
Direction
When you feel like you have lost your way
When confusion seems to be the norm of the day
You must remain focused and never lose sight
Of the many reasons why you are alive
Though hardships and disappointments may abound
And a smile you replace with a frown
Look for the glimmer of hope in the darkness
Even when the nights seem cold and hopeless
More is available at Williams' website at https://cherylhot6.wixsite.com/cherylpwilliams.
Williams has also created a powerful video on the subject of bullying, now available on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_TWJYCE1Bc. In that video, she addresses the sad reality of bullying, the sore that eats away at the core of our society, destroying our self esteem and purpose for living.
Cheryl urges adolecents and anyone experiencing this behavior to say something. Suicide should never be an option. Every life matters!
Williams was named Top Female Author in the 2019 Top Female Author Awards in the poetry category. The win came as the result of her most recent book, 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life'. Williams was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors by a panel of judges.
Writing has helped Williams connect with her inner self, finding positive ways to cope with life's struggles. She has been writing and singing for as long as she can remember.
Throughout her childhood she sang in both the church and school choir, and also enjoyed singing at talent shows and music festivals. As an adult she also participated in concerts, performing as a solo artist.
Music and writing are the tools that bring her fulfillment and healing. Her book, 'A Collection Of Poems', takes us through the power of the human mind, good or bad, and its impact on one's direction and journey through life.
With the help of music, writing, and positive thinking, Williams found hope and purpose in life. Life isn't fair. It is unpredictable, bad things happen to good people, and we never know what tomorrow holds. Cheryl wants her readers to realize that even when faced with insurmountable, hopeless situations, even when life seems dark and uncertain, we should never let go of hope and appreciate the beauty and blessings that life has to offer, making the most of every day, loving, living, laughing, and learning. Seasons change, and there is always a rainbow after the storms of life.
Cheryl Williams is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at cherylw27@aol.com. 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life' is available at Amazon. More information, including a number of videos and a collection of music, is available at her website at https://cherylhot6.wixsite.com/cherylpwilliams.
About Cheryl Williams:
Cheryl Williams is a wife, mother, author, and nurse by profession, with a passion for the Arts.
Her love for poetry started at the tender age of five when she recited the poem "Grandfather Frog” for a school function. Six years later, her world was turned upside down after her mother suffered a massive stroke.
During those uncertain times, music, writing, and poetry helped her cope.
As a teenager, whenever she wasn’t caring for her mother, Cheryl spent her free time writing and directing short plays as a form of entertainment for the children in her neighborhood.
She enjoyed singing in the church and school choir, while also performing publicly as a soloist in concerts and talent shows. As a result of her mother’s illness and her responsibility to help care for her, Cheryl was inspired to pursue nursing as a way to help others heal; the same way writing and music helped her find a path to healing. She resides in New York.

Suicide, Depression, Hopelessness And Other Mental Health Challenges Can Be Helped Through Examining The Wisdom Offered In The Book Of Proverbs Says Award Winning Author Donna Louis
Suicides and depression are on the rise and now seem to dominate our national headlines. Notable figures who have committed suicide, such as Robin Williams and Anthony Bourdain, bring these issues to light due to their recent celebrity status, but these suicides are merely the tip of the iceberg. Other notable celebrity suicides include Ernest Hemingway, Vincent Van Gogh, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Spade and a host of others. Even Pastors, such as Jarrid Wilson, Andrew Stoecklein and Rick Warren's son Matthew, have fallen prey.
According the National Institute Of Mental Health, suicide was the second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10 and 34, and the fourth leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 35 and 54. Information found on the NIH website informs us that 9.8 million adults had serious thoughts of suicide in 2017 and 2.8 million adults made suicide plans. So how can we deal with the pressures of modern day society and avoid depression, hopelessness or thoughts of suicide?
Donna Louis, award winning author of 'Book Of Proverbs, Wisdom vs Wildnerness', believes we have already been given the answer to these pressing problems.
"Depression has long been an issue from biblical times," Louis stated. Examples of biblical characters who suffered from depression include Jeremiah, Jonah, Job, David, Moses and Elijah. Life is going to happen to all of us, We all have tests and challenges that we will go through. However, we have to realize that if we change our attitude it will up our altitude. God didn't send his son Jesus for us to be depressed and unhappy or for us to bully other people or to commit suicide. We have to remember Isaiah 41:10 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."
Louis recently announced the release of her latest Christian book, 'Book Of Proverbs, Wisdom vs Wilderness'. 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs. Wilderness' 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.
The new release 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 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. 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."
Donna Louis is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at donnalouisgodsmessenger@aol.com. More information is available at her website. Both books are 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 35 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."

Every company hopes to be the best in the industry. How the word "best" is defined varies greatly from company to company. Top motivational keynote speaker Rocky Romanella has a unique take on the concept, illustrated by a story he often includes in his keynote speaking engagements.
"When I was a child, I had the opportunity to visit the Hershey Chocolate Factory in Hershey, PA," Romanella stated. "It was amazing to see all that chocolate… up close… my taste buds ablaze.
"What left an impression after all these years was touring the factory and seeing the chocolate being made by hard working local people from beginning to end. As an adult, I realized the confidence the Hershey organization must have had as literally thousands of people walked through their factory while they made their famous chocolate bars.
"I ask each of you, what story does your operation tell? How does your operation or department represent your brand?
"Your goal is to be as confident in your people and your operation as Hershey is in theirs. As a leader, regardless of your area of responsibility, you have your own “Hershey Factory.” You need to make sure your customers would be equally proud of what they see in your facilities, people and solutions."
More information on Rocky Romanella's keynote speaking engagements is available at his website at http://www.3sixtymanagementservices.com.
Rocky speaks from experience. With over 40 years of “boots on the ground” leadership experience, he is one of the best keynote motivational speakers in the country and internationally. He has spoken in large and small venues all over the US including cities such as Atlanta, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, NYC, Dallas, Chicago, Miami, Houston, LA, Charlotte and many others. Internationally, he has presented keynotes in Toronto, Mexico City, Milan, London, and Krakow. He is known for creating excitement through his energy, passion and knowledge, while employing his talents and experience to motivate, inspire and entertain audiences, regardless of size.
Romanella has garnered praise for his ability to connect to a wide range of audiences with his storytelling ability and innate charisma. Richard Snowden, President of RavenHouse International said, "An engaging speaker and facilitator, Rocky leads business executives to break-through results through break-through thinking." Conrad Swanson, Sr. VP Agency Development of Arpin Van Lines Inc. stated, "Rocky inspired many to look inward and improve the way they operate their businesses and lead their team members."
A winner of the UPS Chairman’s Award for Excellence, Romanella has created a legacy of motivating teams to achieve their best. He pulls in audiences with real life stories from an illustrious career spanning nearly 40 years at one of the most recognized and admired brands in the world. Rocky brings leadership expertise in supply chain, logistics and transportation, retail, sales and operational excellence strategy, telecommunications engineering/construction management and installation. Having led many company sales efforts, rapidly building brands, restructuring events and developing a culture needed to integrate past acquisitions, he inspires audiences to create a unified company with one vision.
Rocky Romanella's five star rated business book, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts: The Principles Of Balanced Leadership', brings rock-solid leadership advice to the forefront through an engaging and entertaining storytelling format. Many of the Balanced Leadership principles in the book also serve as keystone concepts in his engaging and highly entertaining keynote presentations and breakout sessions.
Few business books offer new, innovative approaches to leading companies to success. Fewer still speak clearly to the key points necessary to become an effective leader. Only a miniscule number of books could be called a "game changer". 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' is all of that and more. In 'Tighten The Lug Nuts', Rocky explores the ways a true leader can add value as a trusted advisor, mentor, and visionary who uses a process approach to lead the organization and its people to new levels of success. Whether you are a seasoned leader or are taking the first steps to becoming an effective leader, this is one of those books you will refer to over and over again.

Terry Christian, Author Of 'What Did Jesus Say', Offers Christians An Opportunity To Discover The Truth About The Divisions In The Christian Religion In New Video, 'Will The Real Christians Stand Up?'
Question: Are the one billion Catholics really Christians or is it just the Baptists or only the Pentecostals or is it the Lutherans, Methodists, JW’s, SDA’s, CoG, CoC, or is it one of the other independent personality driven churches, that make up over 30,000 different Christian religions worldwide?
Terry Christian, author of 'What Did Jesus Say?' offers some penetrating insight in a new video available at his website. He recently had this to say:
"In my 45 yrs of walking with Jesus based on his teachings, I’m amazed at how many religious leaders (I’ve seen) personally fail teaching from the whole Bible instead of what Jesus said. I was stunned to learn how many different Christian Religions directly attack one another as being evil, doing Satan's work and sending their people to hell, especially the attacks from those against the RCC who gave them their first Bible in the 3rd Century.
"Research shows in the 3rd century a new Christian religion was formed, and they made Sunday a legal worship day while outlawing Saturday Sabbath and added Christmas and Easter to please the pagans. That's the inside story when researched ‘outside’ of religious academia. Real history tells a different story of the Roman Catholic Church as well as the big split in 1600 AD. And now we have over 30,000 different Christian religions all fighting one another in one way or another for a larger share of the audience. Martin Luther was a troubled man in his walk with Jesus and he found solace in Paul’s words, as many do, however it causes many to threaten and attack whoever disagrees with them just like Paul does in his own epistles. This is totally opposite of what Jesus taught.
"Many Christians have never read all 4 Gospels or Revelation to know what Jesus said, they’ve only followed what they’ve been told. Rarely does a Christian research their own religion or focus on what Jesus said because they’ve been told the Bible is all Jesus; yet his words are now printed in red to stand out above all others. Very few Christians know the 4 Gospels and Revelation were written ‘after Peter and Paul’ died as a way of uniting us all in his words, and not just what others remembered Jesus said.
"While composing my book 'What Did Jesus Say : The Seven Messages from the Master', I discovered the great divisions in Christianity were caused by the ‘many’ different religious opinions about Jesus and how differently the same Bible was taught among different Christian Groups. In the end, I was finally able to reconcile it all with what Jesus said to his Disciples in Matthew 28:19-20- to teach everyone what he taught them.
"If you’re a Christian, I encourage you to find out what Jesus said to those who loved and followed him and separate it from what Jesus said to the Jewish Leaders who fought against him. Then read the first half of Book of Acts and you’ll see Peter did what Jesus told him and the church called the Way was launched. The rest is history worth researching outside of ‘religious schools’ designed to protect their legacy over the truth.
To watch the video message, 'Will the Real Christians Stand Up?' visit www.whatdidjesussay.org/blog.
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 http://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.

School Shootings, Lockdowns, Body Shaming And Bullying: Greta Thunberg's Climate Change Movement May Alleviate Some, Not All Of Young People's Anxiety Says Selfie Filmmaker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein
While adults seem to be somewhat stymied in regards to making real progress with school shootings, lockdowns, bullying and climate change, young people are beginning to take matters into their own hands.
Greta Thunberg's climate change movement is one of the best examples we have of this. Her efforts have helped young people organize marches all over the world. Taking action can help alleviate the overwhelming anxiety and sense of dread young people hold regarding their future. There is much more that can be done.
Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Selfie filmmaker and Positive Psychologist, is a cutting-edge, visionary selfie filmmaker who has garnered over 80 awards and screenings. While all or her work is deeply insightful and wildly entertaining, her goal is to use selfie filmmaking as an entree into helping young people deal with these modern day problems. To that end she recently developed two exciting new concepts - the Selfie Showcase and an ongoing podcast series that allows guests, many of them young people, to discuss these issues frankly, from their own perspective.
The Selfie Showcase, now open for submissions, will allow kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie films around important subjects, using a smart phone. Selected participants may appear on the Selfie Project Channel, available on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uaOTcYF70z5CpBh11VoUQ. They may also appear on SelfieFilmmakers.com, on Holstein's monthly podcast or perhaps be a part of her next film. Full details, rules for submission and helpful hints can be accessed at the Selfie Filmmakers site at http://www.selfiefilmmakers.com/instructions.
The podcast series is actively seeking change-makers to appear either in person or by call-in. Dr. Holstein is actively seeking guests (members of traditional media, mental health professionals and educators) who can make a real difference in the lives of young people. Guests can arrange to appear by contacting Dr. Holstein directly.
Holstein's short films have won numerous awards and accolades.

High Praise For What Is Man Male And Female - John Deweys's View Offered By Award Winning Author And Professor Emeritus Bernard Fleury
One of the most pressing and perplexing questions ever posed by humankind is "What am I?" This question, debated by philosophers, educators and clergy the world over for many centuries, can frustrate even the most advanced philosophers among us. An eye can only see outward; it is impossible for an eye to see itself. Likewise it is impossible for an "I" to see itself, as the "I" can only be the subject, never an object.
Award-winning author Bernard Fleury has produced a single publication that contains, under one cover, broadly representative views concerning the meaning of “Man.” Both readers and professional reviewers have given the book high praise. In that book he presents points of view from 5 leading philosophers - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Martin Buber, Paul Sartre, Burrhus F. Skinner and John Dewey. Fleury recently provided a brief explanation drawn from John Dewey:
"John Dewey’s answer is that each man, each human, has within him at birth, a mass of the same unlearned and undirected impulsive tendencies to act; these tendencies, impulses and powers being inchoate and random, are devoid of organization or preordained pattern. In addition man lacks any principle or source of organization of these activities within himself.
These impulsive tendencies are given meaning or direction by interaction with an external mature social medium. This social medium in the case of a child is most often, the parent(s). Dewey therefore insists once more that the principle of organization and direction which directs and shapes human conduct is an external principle rather than an internal principle, the environment rather than a spiritual soul.
What is man the human becomes as a completely observable DOING person is completely the result of interaction with his environment. Man learns to do by doing. Dewey agrees with B F Skinner: Man, the human, IS what he DOES."
"The first edition of the book was used for the most part with fourth year undergraduate students, criminal justice and liberal arts majors in the Philosophy of Education course and also in the graduate course Social Cultural Theories, Foundations of Education," Fleury stated. "In both of these courses 'Man' is viewed as the focal point of education since he is the subject of education—what education is all about. The term “Man” is used generically throughout the first edition and in this new edition to refer to all humans, female and male, because this is the way the term is used in classical philosophy and in the writings of the five philosophers included in both the first and new revised editions to refer to all humankind, female and male."
"Unlike other best sellers like John Grey’s 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'. The scope of 'What is Man? Male and Female' has been broadened to include the interests of parents in their parenting, sociologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists as well as pre and in-service teachers and other education administration personnel. All of these professions have 'Man' as their subject so it is critical to their practices how they view the 'human.' Who or what is it that they are attempting to define, teach, or develop therapies for?"
The book answers three very important questions:
What does it mean to be human?
Who or what is it that we are attempting to define, teach, or develop therapies for?
What role does the Inner and Outer Light play in each philosopher’s view?
Readers and reviewers have lauded 'What is Man?':
"Professor Fleury, Ed.D. has done a masterly piece of groundwork. He generously offers the results of his own life’s quest to those who are willing to make the effort to study his work to find meaning for themselves, others, and for our cultural-evolution." - Ruth McGoldrick, SP, MRE Adult Educator and Spiritual Director
"Dr. Fleury has done a great service for educators, parents, and all concerned with raising and educating children in today’s world. He has invited those so involved to perform that most elemental and human of efforts, namely, to reflect for themselves on what motivates them to journey with young people toward maturity. By sampling the thoughts of five men (deChardin, Buber, Dewey, Sartre, and Skinner) each of whom in his own way has greatly influenced the pedagogical process, Dr. Fleury teases out both the similarities and dramatic differences which inform these schools of thought." - Rev. Richard A Bondi
"Bernard J Fleury is a gifted and knowledgeable thinker whose work will provoke discussion in the areas of psychology, philosophy, and parenting. . . I loved the references to prominent thinkers, theologians and philosophers who have articulated on the meaning of the human person, including Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Martin Buber, Paul Sartre, Burrhus F. Skinner, and many more. Here is a book that offers insights and opens portals to powerful truths about being human. In What is Man? Male and Female, the author offers answers and encourages readers to think about their personhood from a completely fresh perspective. It is filled with light and wisdom.” - Divine Zape
"This was a superb work, and the best I have read by this author so far, especially due to its minimal approach of opinion and scholarly presentation of human philosophy. The thinkers which are presented are diverse and well considered for their part in the development of defining what it means to be human, and we can use this to view our place in the world as well as that of others. Genuinely accessible, thanks to Fleury’s clear and concise transcriptions and translations of what each complex theory has to offer, this bite-sized edition of philosophical thinking certainly packs a punch, and could be read, discussed and appreciated again and again." - K.C. Finn
"The book discusses the interpretations of the five major philosophers – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Martin Buber, John Dewey, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Burrhus F. Skinner – regarding the meaning to be attached to ‘Man’. The interpretations of these five philosophers have been divided into five sections in the book. Their views are helpful when it comes to deciphering and defining who we actually are, and the nature of human growth and development. The question of what is man is actually a very fundamental one, and the book gives a lot of insights that will enable readers to understand the concept and the people around them in a way so they are helpful to each other and can move forward in dignity and respect." - Mamta Madhavan
Nearly all of Bernard's books center squarely on the theme of Light as a Someone and a Something. He believes we are all Called Into Life By The Light. Life and Light are tied together. Lifelight describes their relationship best because both our “without” (our physical being) and our “within” (our spirit) are basically light in two different forms:
1. Physical energy that occupies space, has weight, can be measured, and
2. Psychic or spiritual energy which is a force that causes things to happen and, thus, real energy, but it does not occupy space, have weight, nor can it be empirically measured.
Fleury's books have received numerous 5-star rated reviews. He was chosen as one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ in the 2017 Book Awards. That honor came as a result of his appearance on The Authors Show. He was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

How to Break Out of Prison - Only One Way Can Lead To Freedom From One's Personal Prison Says Evangelical Outreach And Its Holiness Preaching
Evangelical Outreach, EOMIN.org proclaims and defends the Christian Gospel against various forms of religious deceptions from Catholicism to Jehovah's Witnesses to Eternal Security to KJB Onlyism.
Freedom can be defined in many ways. The dictionary defines freedom as "liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another". Another definition is "the quality of being exempt or released usually from something onerous". While freedom can be defined in many ways, there is one form of freedom that supercedes all others. It will allow one to experience total freedom, whether it be from a physical prison or from any kind of personal prison. Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach explains:
If you or someone you know is in prison and want to break free, here is a surefire way to escape that will ALWAYS work, regardless of the obstacles; but, they must sincerely be willing to escape. Don't waste your time with razor blades, files, hacksaws, bribery or even dynamite. (Shortly I'll tell you about a special type of dynamite.) Don't even think about getting hostages or doing a helicopter land in the prison yard, as some have done in the past. Those methods are all ineffective and completely useless in this prison system, compared to the real way to escape! The remedy I have for you is much more powerful, quicker and quieter too, but to help other prisoners escape too, you'll need something sharper than a sword! (More about that and how to get one shortly.)
This remedy will work even in the toughest maximum security prisons, under the heaviest armed guard in solitary confinement and even for those people on death row. Such circumstances are really not a problem at all. In fact, what I'm about to divulge has already gotten many prisoners free over the years, though this knowledge is heavily suppressed by the authorities. Surely you can understand why this knowledge (in its pure form) is not commonly known, though there are many cheap counterfeits which don’t work at all. Again, freedom must be in its pure form, without adding to or taking away from it. Be aware: the evil principalities want the prisoners confined behind their bars and to stay there for life, but they can't stop you from breaking free, if you truly act upon the pure remedy.
This is not guess work, but an absolute guarantee, and no one will have to smuggle anything into your jail cell! The chains and cuffs will soon come off without any metal key, as soon as you're ready. It's up to you to decide the timing. You will not need any accomplice or getaway vehicle to flee from prison to safety to go into hiding until things cool down. You can break free today, right after you read this and learn how. In fact, the sooner the better – do NOT delay!
Be sure to read this out loud and don't worry if the prison guards, chaplains, spiritual leaders, police, judges, lawyers or even the prison warden himself learn the way too. In most cases, they need this information too, though they are not behind the kind of prison bars you are. Hopefully, it will not fall on deaf ears. So don't be quiet about this. Be as loud and vocal as you can. If you can somehow get up to the prison housetop, shout it from roof tops to the people. Even the armed guards in the watchtowers need it too. If you can't get to the house top, spread it all around the prison yard and don't hesitate – get the Word out ASAP. The need is so great. The prisoners need to be freed regardless of their sentence and how many times they were denied a retrial. Let's take a brief look at the past.
Famous Prison Breaks
Let’s reminisce for a minute or two. Some of the most noteworthy prison escapes by prisoners who were never recaptured again are from:
* Alcatraz (the Rock) in June 1962 amidst the waters of the San Francisco Bay by escapees Frank Morris, Allen West, and brothers Clarence and John Anglin.
* Waterloo Prison Camp, Michigan in 1969 by Jerry Bergevin.
* Clinton Correctional Facility for Women, New Jersey by Joanne Chesimard in 1978.
Oh prisoners, listen to me. Their ingenious plans to escape to freedom are nothing compared to the one I know that will absolutely work for you. Note, I said "ONE", for there is only one way to escape the horrible confinement of your personal prison house to get real freedom. All prisoners everywhere – worldwide – should be set free, and this WILL work for them too regardless of their crimes and religious background.
Did you notice the above listing cites both male and female prisoners who have escaped man's prison house and cleverly eluded recapture to the attention and amazement of the authorities? Those escapees I just mentioned were not really free though. So don't envy them. They were still in a type of prison and terribly bound by their chains and addictions, although they got out. Their horrible slavery and invisible chains remained until their death, unless somehow they learned of "the way" I want you to know about. This is so powerful, believe it or not, even a hardened jailer from centuries ago learned of the same way, and he and his whole house became filled with joy afterwards! Yes, it is true.
The way to escape is not actually knowledge itself, but sort of. "The way" is actually a person. In fact, he's a King, who after being sentenced to death, died in shame like a criminal between two others. One criminal who died by the King found freedom as he was dying, and the King himself told him he was going to Paradise, which is in the third heaven! The King not only knows how to get there, he himself is THE WAY in (Jn. 14:6); he even came from Paradise to help us get there too, but we must follow the King's directives closely.
A man named Paul summed up this good news in these words, "I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus" (Acts 20:21). Paul himself spent much time in man's prison house for proclaiming and defending that same vital message. Imagine that! Oh how our arch enemy, the devil, hates that good news (gospel), and he has offered many worthless counterfeits to deceive people who want to go to Paradise, but are on the wrong road. So, be alert to the devil’s counterfeits.
The King and PRECIOUS Lord Jesus said: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels” (Luke 9:23-26).
Jesus also told people he had a spiritual yoke for us to wear much like oxen, or other animals in the natural have, that would be working in a field and pulling a burden:
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light (Matt. 11:29-30).
People who have repented (and become Christians) are described as follows:
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires (Gal. 5:24).
To turn from your wickedness, which is dragging you to a fiery hell, and to wisely choose to submissively place Jesus' yoke upon yourself to follow and serve him is equated to believing on Jesus. This way is also the same as getting born again. When a person is born again, he is also forgiven of all of his sins and set free from the sin addictions he was a slave to (John 8:34-36; Rom. 6:22). In particular, it is contact with Jesus' cleansing, precious blood (Rev. 1:5; 1 Pet. 1:19; 1 John 1:7) that brings this new creation (2 Cor. 5:17) miracle about.
NOTE: You will never find rest for your soul until you come to Jesus on his terms. But there is another part to the question, what is the gospel of Jesus Christ: Jesus taught that you must turn from sin (repent) or you will perish in hell's fire:
But unless you repent, you too will all perish (Luke 13:3).
Getting born again occurs at the point of a trusting-and-submitting faith in Jesus for personal salvation, which includes repentance. All 100% of our trust must be in mankind's only Savior, who is Jesus, in order to have salvation (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; etc.). (The Gospel is the power of God, the dynamite – dunamis, Greek. – of God, Rom. 1:16.) Again, Jesus must be the sole focus of our faith. Many have, unfortunately, been deceived into lethally trusting church membership, water baptism, Mary, Saturday Sabbath keeping, Lodge membership, wearing the brown scapular, etc., for salvation. Others are trusting partly in Jesus and partly in something or someone else for their salvation. These people have also been dangerously misled. If you are a backslider, repent to reverse your spiritually dead and lost condition (Lk. 15:24 cf. James 5:19-20; Rom. 11:20-23).
Examples of final salvation verses are shown here:
Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed (Rom. 13:11).
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved (Matt. 10:22).
Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to” (Luke 13:23, 24).
Remember 2 Cor. 4:16-18. The word of God is sharper than any double-edge sword (Heb. 4:12). See also Eph. 6:17. Share this message with others. God bless you.
