Covid-19 Pandemic Panic - Don't Panic, Just Pray Says Donna Louis, Award Winning Author Of Book Of Proverbs Wisdom Vs Wilderness

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

We are in the midst of what can only be called a global panic attack. The pandemic has a tendency to increase our level of fear, anxiety, hopelessness and depression. Nevertheless we will survive. In the meantime the media continues to stoke the fires, causing many us to overreact and to respond in inappropriate ways. Donna Louis, award winning author of 'Book Of Proverbs, Wisdom Vs Wilderness', recently posted a piece in which she encourages us to forego panic and instead - pray. In that piece she stated in part:

"First, there were news reports of people panicking regarding toilet paper and buying up all they could find. Now the news reported an increase in buying chickens. A business owner said he had a tremendous increase in sales because people are pouring into his business buying chicks expecting to ensure that they will have eggs . . . He explained how chicks cannot even have eggs for six months. He also pleaded that if those who buy them find they cannot do all the required elements to care for them to please return them to his store and he will buy them back. Now the latest thing is that the FDA is requesting that the makers of hand sanitizers please add denatured alcohol to the products to discourage people, especially children, from drinking the liquid. Hand sanitizers are meant for external use, they are not for ingestion. According to the National Poison Data System calls from last month in March related to hand sanitizer increased by 79% compared to March 2019. This is truly disturbing and the highest level of PANIC!"

"As long as we are alive life is going to happen. There will be things that arise that catch us off guard. That is when we lean in and pray not panic! We must keep our Bible closer than our fear."

In the same piece Louis offered a number of Bible verses specifically related to panic and fear. The full text of the piece is available at her website at http://www.miraclebook.net.

In addition to dealing with a global pandemic, suicide, anxiety, hopelessness and depression are on the rise. These kinds of stories now dominate our national headlines. So how can we deal with the pressures of modern day society, meet these mental health challenges and avoid fear, depression, hopelessness or thoughts of suicide? Surprisingly, the answer to these and many other challenges has been around for thousands of years.

Louis' latest book, '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."

COVID-19 Bankrupts Christianity: In Response To Jesus’ Words Of Warning, God’s Punishment Fell Upon All Christians

John the apostle reports that Jesus’ Words of Warning from Holy Week in 2019 came to pass during Lent in 2020 when COVID-19 bankrupted Christianity.

The Covid-19 virus has wreaked havoc on nearly every business in the world. Perhaps none were hit harder than Christian churches in America, all of which rely on steady donations from parishioners. And many of these churches now stand ready to reopen their doors.

At his website https://dazzlinglight.org/ , John the apostle reports that, “On Thursday January 20, 2005, I made my first trip to the Chapel on the Mount of Beatitudes tourist site in Galilee. As I entered the church, the sanctuary’s striking interior design and immaculate cleanliness brought me to a state of reverence and respect. I knelt at a prayer station, bowed my head, and then noticed a paper bag on the floor near my knees. I picked up the bag and saw written: Open Doors – Ezekiel 7:12 – Isa. 29.

“Then during Holy Week in 2019, Jesus instructed me to send these Words of Warning to Christian Churches:

“The time is coming. The day is near when the business of Christianity will come to an end. And God’s punishment will fall upon all Christians.” Ezekiel 7:12. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 bankrupted Christianity.

“Christ’s Holy City in Rome is doomed! There will be weeping and wailing, and the whole city will be like an altar covered in blood.” Isaiah 29:1. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 desolated Vatican City.

“You claim to worship me, but your words are meaningless and your hearts are in your bank accounts.” Isaiah 29:13. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 filled Christian’s hearts with fear.

“When I return, the light will shine into your darkness and The Word of God will once again bring happiness to poor and humble people.” Isaiah 29:18-19. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 purged Christianity for Jesus' return on September 19, 2022.”

In an interview with Pastor Robert Thibodeau on The Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast Episode 632 titled “Born Again”, John the apostle and Pastor Thibodeau discuss that “the Christian Church is now a business focused on payroll, pensions, and property and not a heavenly family centered on faith, hope, and love.” And as a business historically based on social gathering, the Christian Church has been hard hit by COVID-19 and social distancing.

As reported by Michelle Conlin for Reuters, “Even before health guidance shuttered most U.S. churches, many were struggling financially. Just half of Americans reported belonging to a church, synagogue or mosque in 2018, according to Gallup polling, down from 70% two decades earlier. Those who attend services go more erratically, according to the Pew Research Center, leaving fewer people to fill collection baskets.

“The high cost of maintaining older church buildings and — particularly for the Catholic church, legal costs related to the clergy sex abuse scandal — have also taken a toll on churches in the United States and around the world."

“This is the first time where we have this almost national shutdown of churches,” said John Berardino, president of Fredericksburg, Virginia-based Griffin Capital Funding, which specializes in church real estate loans. He said he believed the extended shutdowns would take a heavy financial toll on about half of U.S. churches.

Scott McConnell, executive director of Nashville, Tennessee-based LifeWay Research, which conducts surveys and research for Christian ministries, sounded a similar note.

“It would not surprise me at all if 5% of churches close over the next year,” McConnell said.

“That is five times the typical annual closure rate estimated by The Christian Century, a U.S. mainline Protestant magazine.

“Most American churches do not have sizeable endowments. According to LifeWay, 26% of churches have seven weeks or less of operating income. An additional quarter only have enough to last eight to 15 weeks.

“Churches at the end of their life cycle are going to be at the brink” during the coronavirus crisis, said McConnell.

“Empty pews, empty collection baskets: coronavirus hits U.S. church finances” U.S. Reuters April 11, 2020 by Michelle Conlin

At his website John reveals. “I am John the apostle from the Bible and I am here for Jesus' Second Coming to Galilee on September 19, 2022. 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, 2005. I saw heaven open beside the Sea of Galilee on January 25, 2005. God revealed to me that Jesus was born on September 19, 03 BC in a dream on August 19, 2017. I bleed from my stigmata on Father’s Day June 17, 2018. During Holy Week of 2019, Jesus gave me Words of Warning for Christian Churches. On April 3, 2020, Christ called me to proclaim this message: ‘BE READY! BE READY! BE READY! Brothers and Sisters in Christ: BE READY for Jesus' return to Galilee on September 19, 2022. BE READY for Jesus’ Second Coming at the Dazzling Light Website."

New Fantasy Novel By Jared Woolf, The Sword Of Merlin, Now Available In Paperback And Kindle Editions

Woolf's novel has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. One reviewer called it "better than Harry Potter".

Author Jared Woolf has announced the release of his latest fantasy novel, The Sword of Merlin. The new book offers a distinctive and engaging twist on the tale of Merlin. The book has received a number of extraordinary reviews from readers who have called it "amazing" and "better than Harry Potter."

The knowledge of Merlin and the powers he had were lost to most of the world, specifically the existence of his sword. Forged by Merlin himself and infused with power, it could magnify the abilities of whoever wielded it. A single line of his descendants had passed down the sword from generation to generation. With the sword came the knowledge of how to use it, via the ancient family book. The book contained the family's cumulative knowledge of wizardry. Stories of courage and valor, along with others of darkness and evil were recorded within the book, all meant to prepare those that would wield the sword for the conflicts that they would face.

Nothing could prepare his descendants for the arrival of the most powerful wizard since the days of Camelot. He had moved across the land quickly and efficiently to enslave all he did not destroy. Whether their knowledge and training will be enough to keep themselves, and their people, free will depend on the reluctantly selected wielder of the sword of Merlin.

“I haven’t always wanted to write a book, but a few years ago I had a dream that was the basis for The Sword of Merlin, and it inspired me to give it a try,” Woolf stated. “In our family we think it is important to read with your children, so I wanted to write a book that was entertaining enough for adults to enjoy, but also appropriate for teens and even younger children.”

Readers and reviewers have given high praise to the new fantasy novel. One said, " I was sucked in by the end of the first chapter and couldn't put it down. The battles are intense, and the lessons taught are uplifting. This book would be great for teens or adults. I can't wait for the next one to come out!!" Another stated, "It promotes good values and sound principles. I can feel good about letting my children read this book." Another said, ". . . It was amazing and I am excited to see what else this author has to offer the literary world."

Jared Woolf is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at theswordofmerlin@gmail.com. The Sword Of Merlin is available at online retailers. More information is available at https://www.facebook.com/Jared-Woolf-Author-100411731471796/.

About Jared Woolf:

Jared Woolf was raised in the small town of Paradise, Utah. He has worked in agriculture and construction for most of his life. He discovered his love of reading in his late twenties, and when the inspiration to write a book came along, he jumped at the chance. Being a husband and father is where most of his time is spent. He and his wife, along with their seven children, currently reside in the small town of Minersville, Utah.

A Call To Action For The Rapid Rebuild Of Our Economy Presented By Top Motivational Speaker Rocky Romanella

An inspirational 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. His approach to leadership can be a game changer for anyone who serves in a leadership role.

Top motivational speaker Rocky Romanella, principle of 3SIXTY Management Services LLC, recently released a "Call To Action For The Rapid Rebuild Of Our Economy". In that piece he said the following:

"As we begin the process of restarting our economy, your small businesses, and our lives, it is important to take time and reflect on the values and principles that guide us. It’s how we, as leaders and individuals, rebuild a strong, uncompromising culture and legacy that generations will reference as we begin the healing and rebuilding journey.

"We have had a very difficult 6 weeks – that we had to endure. Honestly, it's more than we could have ever anticipated. Yet, I believe we will emerge from this a stronger and more competitive country and American people – like a phoenix.

"A phoenix is a beautiful, legendary bird that lived in Arabia. According to myth and modern folklore, this magnificent creature is a symbol of renewal, rebirth, and starting anew.

"We need to begin our journey back and start anew. We began the year as a country and with each of you as leaders and families, highly motivated with a strong commitment to growing and having a successful 2020. Today, the same holds true, yet our circumstances are quite different. And so, our tactics and approach must be as well.

"Today, and for the remainder of the year, our Call to Action is for the Rapid Rebuild of our economy, your businesses and your personal well-being. We are still on our journey however, that road had a fork in it – an unimaginable detour. It was the course we were given; our only path to follow. Until now.

"Now, the road ahead is ours to navigate. We must be the Architects of Our Own Destinies. Companies will have to decide:

What are the steps we will take to build back our companies?
What will our brand stand for in this evolving time?
What will our brand promise be?

"As individuals and leaders, we must decide what our personal brands will stand for and how we will build back our lives, what our brand will stand for in this evolving time and what will our brand promise be.

"Since the beginning of this pandemic, we have realized what we have always believed as Americans - we can be a much stronger force when we leverage our collective strengths. What the last 6 weeks has shown me and many of you, is what we have always believed: that we are very good people, committed to our success and that that we are in this together. We became one country with one vision and one identity. We are our Agents of Change.

"Our vision going forward will include:

Who are we?

What we stand for?

What will we never compromise?

"As we prepare for our return, we will need to understand our business, our personal situations and our responsibilities. From these new perspectives will be an understanding:

What we do well

Where there is opportunity to go grow

Where there is opportunity with new customers in new markets that will be consequences from the last 6 weeks

How we rebuild our lives both personally and professionally

"No matter what your role, you can have a tremendous impact on our outcomes and our destiny as a country, a company and as a person. It’s all about alignment and commitment.

"It starts with Our Values. They are the foundation from which everything we have to offer, as a person and as an organization, is based – our processes, services, daily work actions and commitment to excellence. Our Values and our adherence to them, set the direction and establish the necessary culture for us to succeed.

Never allow anyone to affect you more than you can affect yourself.

The Speed of The Leader, Determines the Pace of the Pack. Set the pace.

Good Luck, Stay Strong and Be Safe.

Working Together Works!"

How To Talk To Your Kids About Covid-19 And Monitor For Anxiety, Stress And Emotional Issues - Advice For Parents Offered By Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Holstein is an award winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps young people overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is now offering a video appropriate for parents and kids who are suffering from the emotional and social effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The new video, entitled 'Truths Change And Still Remain", is available at her site at http://www.enchantedself.com.

“My gift to you and your children is a little film I made that in two minutes takes the 'girl' of my books: ‘The Truth’ and ‘Secrets’ and of my films: ‘Falling in Love’, ‘Secrets’, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, and more, from anguish to elation and happiness once more,” Dr. Holstein stated. “I hope you enjoy the images and the music and lyrics. The message is universal. No matter what stage of life we are at, we have disappointments and unexpected changes, we bounce back, move on and later again we flounder, come back. This roller coaster ride of life is a gift if we grow and learn and love through each phase. I hope that is what you see in my film and will gather your strength to do just this during the Coronavirus time in our lives.”

We are all suffering the psychological effects of living through a pandemic. Millions of adults are out of work. The virus hits older people especially hard. Therefore it is no surprise that we overlook the effects the pandemic has on our young people. Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Positive Psychologist and award winning Selfie filmmaker gives young people a real voice through her work. She provides some guidance on how parents can first understand and then help overcome the effects the current situation has on young people.

"Sometimes we can forget how much kids suffer during hard times," Dr. Holstein stated. "Just because they're young and strong physically, can stay up half the night and laugh hysterically, does not mean that they are immune to the suffering going on around them and around the world due to the coronavirus. In fact, kids are very susceptible to all sorts of emotional upheavals because they're not fully developed emotionally. That takes many, many years. They have reactions that include anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, frustration, disappointment, unhappiness, tears, gloomy feelings and thoughts, and even worse.

"Sadly the news is now bringing up at least one suicide by a youngster. So it is extremely important for everybody to not only protect the mental health of adults but also of children, tweens, teens and young adults.

"One of the things that has disappointed and upset them is the lack of a graduation ceremony - to give them a chance to celebrate a milestone in their lives. Another disappointment is not having an official prom, to get dressed up and feel like a king or queen for the night. Other disappointments are losing part time jobs, not going to school and having virtual learning, losing sport activities, and being housebound as the result of stay at home and social distancing rules.

"Social sustaining is difficult because kids are missing even the most simple social activities like hugging and laughing hysterically with their friends or physically touching in playful ways that go with just being young. If they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, then it means missing some of the closeness that the couple has established. Oftentimes adult couples live together. Even if they're housebound they still have each other. Kids, teens and young adults who have a close significant other often do not live in the same household, so it's a particularly lonely and difficult time.

"One of the other dilemmas is that kids who are now graduating feel uncertain regarding whether they can they go off to a college in the fall. Will there be monies for loans? Will the college be operating? Do they really want to be in a virtual environment for their schooling?

“Let’s turn now to helpful suggestions:

1. Be your own investigator. Is your child despondent hanging in his or her room too much?Is he very sour or critical or do you hear him crying or getting very angry. Is she not eating enough or binging? Listen and watch. Be observant for any changes that could reflect anxiety or depression or other problems.

2. You are your child’s guardian and protector. Don't be afraid to take charge. Sit down and share with him, perhaps some examples of worries or anxiety or sleeplessness that you may be experiencing. Encourage him to share with you what he is feeling and what is happening in his life. Reassure that we will get to solutions and good news.

For example:
3. If your daughter is disappointed because she's not going to a prom, perhaps you and she can still order some clothing online that absolutely delights her. Or maybe she can get all dressed up and the family can have a fancy dinner in her honor.

And always stay wise:
4.If your child is experiencing a lot of anxiety or other symptoms it may be time to call his physician. Do not ignore serious symptoms:

5. If you see more serious things going on, make sure you talk to a professional who can direct you with advice and connections. Your child is precious!

Lastly:
6.Try to bring fun and harmony into your family life. This may mean watching funny shows together, laughing as cats and dogs runaround in crazy ways on YouTube, or watching comedies. It can also mean feeling free to tell and share family stories that end with humor or a happy ending. Think about reaching out to grandparents to share zoom meals together, cousins that may want to join once a week in a shared dinner, and all sorts of ideas that you pull out of your own hat of creativity. Your desire to make this experience a growth experience that has some some pleasant, enjoyable moments and some serious moments of learning will help your kids adapt and be resilient forever.

Understanding Autism - Proud Autism Parents Talk About What It's Like To Be The Parent Of An Autistic Child In New Video By Award Winning Author Cheryl Williams

Williams' new video, released for World Autism Month, gives a voice to both autistic children and their parents

Autism Speaks has designated 2020 as the year of kindness. In celebration of World Autism Month, award winning author and school nurse Cheryl Williams created a video in which she presents autistic kids talking about what kindness means to them, with comments from their parents. The new video is available at Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7QgB6XJn9w.

"Kindness is knocking down the walls, including one and all," Williams stated. "Kindness is treating everyone with respect and dignity, and never letting our differences determine how we treat others. We are all different and unique, and that goes for every autistic child.

"When I look at an autistic child I don’t see disability! I see the ability to love! The ability to appreciate! The ability to be all that they were created to be.

"Let’s take the time to truly understand! Let’s take the effort to break down the walls and be more accepting. May we see Autism as more than just a label.

"I wrote this poem 'The Puzzle Pieces Of My Life' as a way to help spread awareness and understanding."

I am not what the labels say I am
I am my own person
I live each day to be the best me
That I can possibly be

Through my eyes you don’t see me
Cause I’m not you
And you’re not me
I am special and unique
My talents and skills you fail to see

I might not respond the way you expect me too
But just because you don’t see life the way I do
It doesn’t mean that I am less than you
The pieces of my life fits a puzzle

For those who want more information on autism, Willams recommends visiting the Autism Speaks website. According to the information on their site, "Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. We do this through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of people with autism; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions."

More is available at Williams' website at https://cherylhot6.wixsite.com/cherylpwilliams.

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.

Escape From The Isolation Caused By The Covid-19 Virus - Read With Me Suggests 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.

The Covid-19 virus has forced many of us to take extreme measures to protect ourselves. We've been forced to cover up, maintain our distance from others and hunker down in our homes.

Of all the things we've been asked or required to endure, this forced isolation is among the worst. For we are, at our very core, social beings. In many societies, solitary confinement is considered to be the ultimate form of punishment. Sadly, we are all are getting a small taste of that now.

Reading a good book has always been a preferred means of escape from our troubles. Reading an engaging novel can be healthy and it's certainly liberating. Are sheltering orders making you feel cooped up and longing for a new, wider experience? Writer Donna Fletcher Crow reports that she has heard from many who are looking for just that. The advice she gives them:

“‘I’m having so much trouble focusing.’ Is probably the complaint I hear most often from readers and writers alike when talking about the isolation we are all experiencing during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“One would think that, with all the time we have on our hands, we would be getting through stacks of books. But many are not finding it to be so.

“My advice? Try reading a good novel. One of the main functions of fiction is to carry the reader away to another time and place, to give the reader an enlarged experience. Those of us feeling confined by orders to shelter, need just that enlargement.

“I especially recommend reading a thriller or a good old-fashioned whodunit—which is exactly what I am doing myself. Mystery stories are gripping and transporting—in short, just the thing needed to take our minds off current worries.

“Many will already have favorite writers to turn to, but I recommend some of my favorites as well. For a truly breathless, can’t-put-it-down experience Dean Koontz is hard to beat. My favorite is Brother Odd, and the complete 8-book series is available in a bundle on Amazon.

“If you’re looking for something a little less intense, consider the classics. Dorothy L. Sayers is my favorite of the Golden Age writers; her The Nine Tailors at the top of my list. For a modern classic, try P.D. James’ Death in Holy Orders. And for even more classic, try Jane Austen’s Emma, (not just the movie) which many consider the first mystery novel.

“Of course, I would be delighted to have you sample my own series as well: The Monastery Murders are contemporary clerical mysteries with clues hidden deep in the middle ages; Lord Danvers Investigates is a Victorian true-crime series; and the Elizabeth and Richard Literary Suspense series is contemporary cozies with many of your favorite authors in the background, including Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Dorothy L. Sayers. You can read more about them on my website at http://www.DonnaFletcherCrow.com.”

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 50 books, mostly novels of British history. She has taken a number of high-level industry awards for her work. 'Glastonbury' is her best-known book, 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 Monastery Murders 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' and the upcoming 'Against All Fierce Hostility.'

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 readers to all of Austen’s favorite seashore resorts. Accounts of Crow’s visits to these sites are available on her blog under the heading “Jane Austen Seashore Tour.”

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.

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. A short story on her blog entitled “A Nostalgic Fourth of July” is based on a scene from ‘Kathryn: Days of Loss and Hope'.

Donna Fletcher Crow's awards include:

Where Love Begins, Best Historical Romance, Pinnacle Awards 2019
A Lethal Spectre, Best Mystery, Pinnacle Awards, 2019
Glastonbury, First Place, Historical Fiction, National Federation of Press Women Award of Merit

Special Needs Kids And Bullying - Award Winning Author Jody Sharpe Announces New Book, Two New Installments On Tuesdays With The Angels

Sharpe's previously published books are riveting inspirational thrillers written in honor of her daughter Kate and her husband Steve.

While bullying is cruel in every form, perhaps nowhere is that more true than when the victim is a special needs child. And perhaps nobody knows this better than those who have worked daily with special needs kids. Award winning author and former Special Education teacher Jody Sharpe worked with special needs kids for many years and recently announced she will now bring her stories to life via a soon to be released book titled "The Angels On The Writers' Shoulder".

The new book follows her recently released children's book about angels, "When The Angel Sent Butterflies". The new book helps children understand that love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear and believing that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away. This concept is presented in the book when Angel Ken sends Jones and Kate butterflies. The book, appropriate for ages 2 to 7, is now available at Amazon and Ingram.

Jody's works center on angels on earth and the expression of their love and protection through synchronicity. In a recent blog posts she related one of these events:

"In 'When The Angel Sent Butterflies', I decided to write my grandchildren as the characters," Sharpe wrote. "In the story little Kate is afraid of bees and Jones tells her how mommy says angels protect them. From his hands Angel Ken sends butterflies to them and Jones is delighted as one lights on his finger. Little Kate becomes unafraid when a butterfly lands on her shoulder and a bee passes by. The children realize butterflies and bees are their friends.

"Yet a most amazing serendipitous moment has occurred. Soon after reading my book, Jones was in the backyard and became afraid of a bee passing by just as little Kate was afraid in my storybook. Then another little miracle … a white butterfly fluttered by and Jones was not only thrilled but his fear left too. Was it just a coincidence?"

The full story is available at Sharpe's website in the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section.

In Sharpe's highly acclaimed novels, the angels take on human form and interact with humanity in a variety of ways:

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.

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. 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.

She was also the featured author in the Scottsdale Public Library newsletter in the March Local Author Spotlight section.

Jody Sharpe is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at sharpejody76@gmail.com. Angel stories can be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd. All of her books are available at online book retailers. New quotes will be added every Tuesday to the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her blog, which can be found at her website at http://www.JodySharpe.com.

Profile:

Jody Sharpe had a rewarding career as a Special Education teacher. 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.

Coronavirus And Kids Anxiety - Tips For Helping Kids Deal With The Pandemic Offered By Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Holstein is an award winning Selfie Filmmaker, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps young people overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels.

Our children have a lot to be apprehensive about - school shootings, lockdowns, bullying, climate change - and now we can add the coronavirus pandemic. Trying to explain this alarming new threat to our already fearful kids can be a challenge that many of us are simply not prepared to handle. So what do we do to help alleviate the anxiety our kids must confront?

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, award-winning selfie filmmaker and Positive Psychologist, recently released a new video entitled 'Truths Change and Still Remain'. The new short film, offered at http://www.enchantedself.com, is a great film to share in trying times to remind us all that we can go from despair to elation if only we turn to love and connection once again. She encourages everyone to pass the new film to kids, grandkids and friends.

"There are 5 easy ways to increase joy in your life right now and get ready for a great future," Dr. Holstein stated.

“Call a friend or relative or just wave hi to a neighbor.

“Make a donation, no matter how small to a local charity like the animal shelter.

“Make a chart for the kitchen magnet space where each person can list if they or someone else in the household does something nice or special.

“Watch a fun movie or show or clips of dogs playing the piano, whatever works for you.

“Write a note to yourself and put it in a safe place about three wonderful things you will do when the time comes to move on - and it will.

“Kids, what do I tell them? What can we do with them, all coped up for who knows how long?

“First of all kids worry and know something is wrong. Don't fool yourself. They sense anxiety, anger, despair, worry, faster than we do. And they see that their routines and patterns of life have been totally changed. So don't try to fool them or trivialize their concerns. On the other hand don't tell them more than they need to know. For example, a 5 year old may only need to know that there is a virus going around and everyone is staying safe by staying at home for awhile. A 16 year old may really want to know what is happening and ask thoughtful questions. What medicines are being used, do the doctors have enough supplies? When will there be a vaccine? Will anyone we know die? Be truthful but don't flood him or her with information. If you don't know the answer perhaps you can find out together or you can help your child search for the answer. If she wants to make masks for the doctors or gather money for the animal shelter all the better. Let kids do their part. Don't discourage action.

“Today's world, as scary as it is, is a great arena for emotional and social growth for your kids. Another great aspect of listening and helping them appropriately is that you will engage with them in ways that reinforce the type of loving connection that definitely makes all of us feel safer, more understood and more productive. We may look back on this time as a win-win for all of us adults and children who have a chance to relate to one another as we go through this trying time.

“My gift to you and your children is a little film I made that in two minutes takes the 'girl' of my books: The Truth and Secrets and of my Films: Falling in Love, Secrets, Conflict and a Bit of Magic, and more, from anguish to elation and happiness once more. I hope you enjoy the images and the music and lyrics. The message is universal. No matter what stage of life we are at, we have disappointments and unexpected changes, we bounce back, move on and later again we flounder, come back. This roller coaster ride of life is a gift if we grow and learn and love through each phase. I hope that is what you see in my film and will gather your strength to do just this during the Coronavirus time in our lives.

“You are free to pass Truths Changes and Still Remain along on Facebook, Twitter, or wherever you share good news! You can find it anytime on the front page of http://www.enchantedself.com.

Dr. Holstein is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at barbara.holstein@gmail.com. More information is available at her primary website at http://www.enchantedself.com.

Profile:

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, internationally known Positive Psychologist is the creator of The Enchanted Self ®, a positive psychology method for happiness and a pioneer in Selfies as Film.

Holstein.

What Would Jesus Say About The Coronavirus - 3 Things Christians Can Do To Help Offered By Reverend Terry Allan Christian

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

The coronavirus has upending modern day life like no pandemic in modern history. Rev. Terry Allan Christian is an expert researcher and author of 'What Did Jesus Say? The Seven Messages from The Master'. We know what our governments say about the coronavirus. We know what the media says. But the question for Terry is - What would Jesus say? He recently offered some specific points that all Christians should consider during these difficult times:

"I was asked the other day what Jesus would say to us about this virus," Christian stated. "The first thing that came to my mind was all the things Jesus said and here’s what I heard. Don’t worry, for your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him so when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you pray, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. Remember, You did not choose Me, but I chose you so let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. You are the light of the world, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. And, where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. Peace be with you.

"I believe Jesus would want all Christians/believers to be the example of his peace in these troubled times. With God, all things are possible, all the time, wherever we live, if we pray believing, so let’s walk in his peace.

"What are 3 things Christians can do during this worldwide virus crisis?

#1. We can examine ourselves to see if we’re living in fear or faith. F-E-A-R is False Emotions Appearing Real and the worst fear is the ‘imagined fear’ because that robs us of our peace today, worrying about tomorrow.

I encourage everyone to read the Gospel of John and find out what Jesus actually said to those who loved and followed him.

#2. We can pray and fast. Prayer calms and strengthens our spirit and mind while fasting restores & strengthens our immune system. We can fast on water, and or juices too, for 1-3 or 7 days. I fasted once on water & juices for 46 days when I was 46 years old. After the 4th day I wasn’t hungry and finally stopped fasting 50 days later.

We’re taught that our body is God's temple and we’re told to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. Prayer removes fear, worry, doubts and anger from our mind, while fasting strengthens and helps purify our body.

#3- We can help one another. Jesus Said, 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another'. When we help one another, we show the world we are truly God's children. Non-believers and Christians too, take our example more seriously than our words. Let’s help our family, friends, neighbors and community as God shows us and our obedience to His Spirit will guide us to H-E-L-P. Help Everyone Live Peacefully.

"If there is any way I can help, please contact me and let’s fellowship together based on what Jesus said and may his words and love be in all we think, say and do."

Terry recently posted a video by the same title that can be viewed at https://bit.ly/2WVMH8O.

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.

About Terry Allan Christian:

Since dedicating his life to Jesus at the age of 23, Terry Allan Christian has been reading the red lettered version of the 4 Gospels as recorded in the KJV Bible. Even though Terry reads the whole Bible, his primary focus is on the words of Jesus and the example of His actions.

Terry grew up in a violent dysfunctional family where he quit school at 16 and left home. He stuttered so bad he could only say 3-5 words in a row. His family and friends mocked him and that caused much stress in his early life. At the age of 23, he had a near death experience and in which he had a dream. In this dream, he was told that one day he would be a teacher for Jesus. Needless to say, he was scared at first because of his stuttering and lack of structured education however, he always had a child-like faith and trust in Jesus as Lord. After the dream, he was soon hired by the Dale Carnegie Organization and trained in sales and public speaking, where he met a man who taught him how to visually read. During the next few years Terry read several hundred books on the subject of personal growth.

At the age of 30, Terry became a professional motivational speaker and executive trainer and over the next 20 years he would deliver more than 2,500 presentations to private and public audiences across America and Canada.

Several years ago Terry retired as a public speaker after feeling the Holy Spirit redirecting his life. He was led to do what Jesus told him many years earlier. After researching the 4 Gospels he composed the book 'What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master', using only the words spoken by Jesus as recorded in the 4 Gospels, without adding any personal comments or opinions.

As in all God-called missions it took longer, cost more and challenged him to the edge of his faith. He would later say, he had to read the Book of Job just to understand why this was happening to him and discover if he was being tested or penalized. In the end, he was being tested and by the Grace of God, he prevailed.

Now after 12 years of study, obedience, difficulty and struggle, his book is now available in paperback, eBook, audiobook and Kindle.

Today, author and counselor Rev. Terry Christian is founder of Foundations for Life Online Ministries and presently lives in Negril, Jamaica where he does local missionary work in schools and churches while counseling Christians worldwide online through his program Christians Helping Christians.

Negril, Jamaica is where Terry went to fast and pray while seeking divine healing for bladder cancer. His doctors gave him 3 years to live so he created a healing sabbatical and after fasting, praying and walking the beach for 21 days he returned to his doctors who released him cancer free.

Terry calls this program: The Life Walk aka The Miracle Walk and now offers this restoration life program online through FaceTime, WhatsApp, Skype from his home for anyone seeking life, health or marriage restoration.
