New Bestselling Historical Fiction Book By Joseph M. Lenard, Terror Strikes, Encourages Situational Awareness On A International Level

Lenard’s gripping historical fiction novel is a political thriller detailing the life of a journalist who sets out to write a book about terrorism and gets more than he bargained for.

The best historical fiction books are those that tie into current events. This brings a sense of heart-pounding realism to the table that might be lacking in historical fiction novels that have little or no anchor in current reality. The headlines today, from the recent killing of Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri to the brazen attack on Salman Rushdie, dramatically illustrate that terrorism is not going away any time soon – most likely never. Terrorism will have wide-ranging effects on American society both now and in the future. Lenard gives us a glimpse into what has happened and what we can expect to happen.

Terror Strikes is not a book about death, but one about life and living, and of those enemies, both foreign and domestic, that would deprive others of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", “philosophical”, “amazingly crafted”, and utterly "unique".

This book is intended for all audiences - young, old, male and female, religious and non-religious; political and non-political. Within the context of a chilling work of fiction, it shows us who the terrorists are, what they have done, what they are doing, and why they will never be able to be persuaded to stop.

Joseph M. Lenard shreds the “creative writing process formulaic methodologies” to create a writing style and literature like no other author before. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears meets Deep Impact.

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in this #1 bestselling historical fiction novel.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Whether you are a staunch conservative, a prepper, or just have concerns about what is happening in American life and society today, Terror Strikes will answer many of the questions you have regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, and will make for a remarkable reading experience.

Five Tips For Coping With Stress And Cultural Change Offered By Dr. Richard Ruhling

Dr. Richard Ruhling Biblical prophecy expert and taught Health Science at Loma Linda University.

“Eight in ten Americans are stressed about their jobs,” according to the Huffington Post. The American Psychological Association says that 77% of people say the future of our nation is a significant source of stress.

"That was two years ago — it’s worse now with many working from home and home-schooling children," says Richard Ruhling, a retired physician who taught Health Science at Loma Linda University. He developed a Total Health Seminar with a focus of How to Neutralize Stress.

In nearly 40 years of medical practice, Ruhling has seen thousands of patients wanting a prescription for their nerves or sleep, high blood pressure, stomach problems - all of these and more can be due to stress. He says medical care is not a good answer for stress as drugs tend to cause dependency on a system focused on symptoms rather than causes.

Ruhling says, “Medical care is not healthcare. It has little to do with healthy habits that can add a decade to life, according to a UCLA 10-year federally funded study by Dr. Lester Breslow. The 10 years extra (average for 3 habits) results in more, compared to medical care that shortens life with adverse drug reactions as a leading cause of death," and that the CDC never reports this because they are in business with pharma.

Here are Ruhling’s 5 Tips for Coping with Stress:

1. Exercise helps alleviate the stress hormones that are triggered by worry, fear, anxiety. “A mile a day keeps the doctor away,” and it only takes 15 minutes to unwind from work pressures that have you uptight.

2. Follow the exercise (before or after supper) with a hot shower, ending with cold for about 15-30 seconds. It can double your white blood count to enhance immunity. That is far superior to a certain shot that ruins immunity in spite of big promises, which is why the government says you need it again — it didn’t work as they expected.

3. The British Medical Journal reported a plant-based diet resulted in 73% less severity to healthcare workers who got Covid and it is great for the immune system to reverse other conditions as well. Sugar is refined from plants; the current emphasis should be whole foods—not sugars, starches and oils refined from plants.

4. Government organizations cannot be depended on for truth. The FDA gets money from industries that sell alcohol, tobacco, drugs—they classify beverages with caffeine (a drug) as GRAS—Generally Recognized As Safe, but it’s a lie designed to sell more antacids (caffeine turns on gastric acid), more sleep and nerve pills, and the New England Journal of Medicine reported a strong causal link to cancer of the pancreas on March 12, 1981. You will cope with stress better if you accept the withdrawal symptoms of coffee for a few days and quit.

5. Stress in the city is high and will intensify. Consider a move to the country where nature is good for nerves and sleep and survival of calamities that come to the cities is a much lower risk. A year early is better than a day late.

Ruhling has an 8-minute intro to a high-value video with Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Esselstyn telling how most disease is reversible without prescription drugs at https://healthhappinessdestiny.com/blog-2/.  His latest (non-fiction) book is titled MegaQuake 2023, on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W1XVVMV, that was the focus of a CBS interview, posted at https://youtu.be/y83Yqa9XAA8.

Jane Austen Would Celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Says Bestselling Author Donna Fletcher Crow

Crow writes meticulously researched, entertaining novels of romance, history, adventure and mystery in an engaging you-are-there style that allows readers to live the history. Reviewers have compared her work with PD James, Dan Brown and Barbara Pym.

Jane Austen is of singular interest to bestselling author Donna Fletcher Crow. She has written a number of books that tie into Austen and her life. She is a frequent online guest for book club discussions and is available to speak to groups on Austen related subjects. In a recent article posted on her site at https://donnafletchercrow.com/p/473/Jane-Austen-Celebrates-Queen-Elizabeths-Platinum-Jubilee-with-Jubilee-Trifle, she wrote the following:

"Jane Austen was picky about her sovereigns. She wrote her riotous romp through time ‘The History of England’ ‘By a partial, prejudiced & ignorant Historian' when she was 16 years old. Therein she declared that Elizabeth I, 'that disgrace to humanity, that pest of society,” was “wicked' and committed 'extensive Mischeif[sic.].' The supreme wickedness being the execution of Mary Queen of Scots."

Yet Crow believes Jane Austen would have approved of Queen Elizabeth II, and would have likely enjoyed celebrating her Platinum Jubilee, as she enjoyed Queen Charlotte's birthday in 1809.

When the Jane Austen Society of North America held their annual Box Hill picnic, Crow's contribution was the Jubilee Trifle in honor of Jane Austen and Queen Elizabeth II

Crow said in a recent interview, “It was a great delight to be in London during the recent Jubilee Celebrations. We were able to attend several special events honoring Queen Elizabeth’s record-breaking 70-year reign. As a special quiet moment amid all the hoopla my husband and I had a lovely afternoon tea in our hotel, where the signature piece of the celebration, Jubilee Trifle, was served.

“I couldn’t wait to share the dish and the experience with my fellow Janeites when we returned home, and then, through my blog, to give my readers the opportunity to replicate the fun. I am pleased as well to have been able to simplify and translate the complications of the elaborate dish for Americans.”

The full text of the article is available at her website.

In preparation for the Jane Austen Society of North America’s annual meeting this September in Victoria BC, Crow is busy preparing her talk “In London with Jane Austen and the Dashwoods” which she will present in the persona of Jane Austen. “Austen” will explain the meaning of the London locations she uses in her novel ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and show how understanding these sites gives the reader a deeper insight into her characters.

Donna Fletcher Crow is no stranger to portraying her literary role model. Crow has two videos on YouTube “Jane Austen from Paradise to Lyme Regis” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W0WI_-qFwE and “Jane Austen from Paradise to Portsmouth” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDamVe-w60E. In each of these copiously illustrated talks, “Jane Austen” takes viewers to the sites she knew well in her lifetime and explains how she used them in her novels Mansfield Park and Persuasion.

Donna is currently in the midst of finishing up her new Celtic Cross series. This series will be a 10-volume series of novels covering the history of Scotland and Ireland. The leading historic figures of the day interact with fictional characters to bring the stirring events alive. Each epoch is tied to the series with the on-going events in the lives of modern young people as old wars and current conflicts keep them striving to find answers that provide hope for the future.

Epoch 4 in this series ‘The Vanquishers of Tyranny, Of Priests and Patriots’, was recently awarded third place in Fiction for Adult Readers at the National Federation of Press Women National Communications Conference held in Fargo, North Dakota.

This novel tells the story two great patriots who fought for Scotland’s freedom: William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, bringing to a conclusion the first 4 epochs of the Celtic Cross series which comprise Part 1, Scotland: The Struggle for a Nation.

The NFPW National Communications Contest is a nation-wide, two-tiered contest open to all writers. First-place winners from state-level contests are then moved to the national level of judging.

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. Many of her books have been bestsellers in their categories, including 'A Most Inconvenient Death', which achieved #1 bestseller status in Christian Suspense. 'The Fields of Bannockburn', the epic from which The Celtic Cross Series, Part I: Scotland, The Struggle for a Nation is based, was listed as Fiction Bestseller by Christian Book Distributors and 'The Banks of the Boyne', the epic from which The Celtic Cross Series, Part II: Ireland, The Pursuit of Peace is based, hit #3 Best-Selling Fiction.

'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 Celtic Cross is a 2-part series which begins with Scotland: The Struggle for a Nation. In 4 individual epochs it tells the stories of—'The Keeper of the Stone,’ St. Columba; ‘The Forger of a Nation,’ Kenneth MacAlpin; ‘The Refiner of the Realm,’ Queen Margaret; ‘The Vanquishers of Tyranny,’ William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The 10-book series will complete in the summer of 2022.

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 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', 'An All-Consuming Fire' and the newly-released 'Against All Fierce Hostility.'

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'.

Where There is Love is a 6-book series of the enduring legacy of love and faith all based on historic people and events. The titles are: ‘Where Love Begins’, ‘Where Love Illumines’, ‘Where Love Triumphs’, ‘Where Love Restores’, ‘Where Love Shines’, and ‘Where Love Calls’.

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.

Jody Sharpe, Bestselling Author Of Books About Angels, Announces New Hope Is A Prayer Video, Articles And Upcoming Events

Sharpe is the author of a number of award-winning books and videos that can help readers and viewers find hope, inspiration and gratitude.

The dictionary defines synchronicity as "coincidence of events that appear meaningfully related but do not seem to be causally connected. While that may be true, it is not necessarily the only definition. For bestselling author Jody Sharpe, there may be a deeper meaning, in that all of us are connected at a subconscious level. She addressed that subject in a recent Youtube video titled 'Blessings From Heaven'. The video describes an uncanny, chance meeting that leaves no doubt that some events are divinely inspired. The video is available at her Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ifd7rw9F_2fhUPWe6mh_A.

In a recent blog post she wrote, "For months now I have messages of inspirational thoughts that come through my mind. These angel messages are so clear. Hope is a prayer. This is a message I received recently. To me hope is a never ending prayer. Like wishing on a star or dreaming for your own life or those you love, prayers come in the form of hoping and wishing and dreaming. I hope for my family all good things with love and kindness. I hope for the best for friends and for those I don’t know in our fragile, beautiful world."

The full post is available at her site at https://jodysharpe.com.

Sharpe's book have won numerous awards and many are bestsellers. Town Of Angels Christmas took Third Place Honors in the At-large division of the 2021 NFPW Communications Contest. The contest had entrants from 18 states, the District of Columbia and Spain.

'Town Of Angels Christmas, A Tale Of Love And Animal Rescue' was a bestseller in the Holiday Fiction category, ‘Town of Angels Christmas' features the same town and many of the characters from ‘Town of Angels’. In this new novel, Sharpe addresses a number of new issues for her characters to deal with, including animal rescue.

In 'Town Of Angels Christmas', a secret lies in Mystic Bay California. Angels live as humans there. Angel Ken, a store owner, fears the secret will be revealed when vet, Jordana Hart, a woman with special healing abilities moves to town. Years before Angel Ken materialized as an old man, changing the course of her life.

Will Jordana recognize Angel Ken as the man from her past as they work together on a rescue mission to bring twenty-two horses to Mystic Bay before Christmas? Will they see what lies before them, a Christmas story only the angels could write?

Other books by Jody Sharpe include:

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.

20 Moon Road: An Angel's Tale, Book Five in the Mystic Bay Series, is now available. The latest book features a character from her Mystic Bay series, Madam Norma. Madam Norma is based on a woman who influenced Sharpe's life in a number of unforgettable ways.

Miracles still happen in the town of Mystic Bay California. Angels live as humans there. Angel Ken, a former football coach, is surprised when his late best friend, the indomitable psychic, Madam Norma, appears in spirit form and asks him to write the story of her life through her memories she will send him. Surprising to Angel Ken, Madam Norma saw thousands of angels since childhood.

Readers of the Mystic Bay Series who wish to start with the first book in the series can now access’ The Angel's Daughter’ on Kindle Unlimited. The book serves as a great introduction to Jody's concept of angels on earth.

'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder' is a memoir based on her twenty-five years teaching children with special needs. The book placed second in the National Federation Of Press Women’s At-Large Communication contest. The book is as entertaining as it is illuminating. It’s a love story about the special students and others who over the years graced her life with just that, their grace.

With hearts of angels and challenges to face, the children took Sharpe along their journeys and inspired her own life’s journey of self-discovery. When sorrow came, their kindness helped her through. The synchronicity of events from high school to retirement changed her life for the better, turning her face toward heaven.

Midwest Book Review stated, "Sharpe's ability to see the good in circumstances and people identifies the 'special' in 'special needs' as she delineates her journey through the education system and those teaching and social encounters which changed her perspective and life.

"Teachers (especially those working with special needs kids) will find this spiritual and social reflection easily accessible. It's presented in vignettes which offer small, digestible bites of insight into a world where angels and kindness are present in more than one form."

‘Special Needs Children’ followed 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.

In addition, on the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her site, Sharpe presents stories of real life encounters with angels. The stories are available at Sharpe's website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.

Sharpe 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. Everyone is welcome to submit angel stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.

Sharpe's YouTube channel brings all of this together, offering segments on all of these topics. One topic of special interest is bullying, specifically as it relates to special needs children.

In addition to the National Federation of Press Women’s award, 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.

Jody also announced recently that two new screen treatments of her books are now available: ‘The Angel's Daughter’ and ‘Town Of Angels Christmas’. Angelic presence on earth is the central theme of all the books in her Mystic Bay Series. The series is comprised of four books, the first of which, ‘The Angel's Daughter’, is now available on Kindle Unlimited.

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.

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.

Bestselling Author Marlayne Giron Announces New Christian Epic Fantasy Fiction Book, The Victor, Has Achieved Bestseller Status In The Historical Fantasy Fiction Category

Giron is considered to be a great new voice in Christian Fiction and writes fiction with a mission. The book will be of special interest to homeschoolers. A no-charge student workbook is available.

Bestselling Author Marlayne Giron has announced that her Christian Fantasy Fiction book, 'The Victor', has achieved bestseller status in the Historical Fantasy Fiction Category.

In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.

'The Victor', is an inspirational historical fantasy fiction book - written for ages 12 and up - that is destined to become a classic. Perfect as a home school resource, this spellbinding tale is set apart from other Christian fiction books by her subtle but powerful method of presenting Christian principles embedded in a majestic adventure that is gripping, riveting, and engaging for readers of any age.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Marlayne Giron is available for media interviews. She can be reached using the information below, or by email at mmgiron@yahoo.com. 'The Victor' is available at online book retailers. More information is available at Giron's website at https://thevictorbook.com.

About Marlayne Giron:

Author Marlayne Giron is a Jewish girl who writes Christian Fiction. She has been married to her husband Michael since 1986. She came to faith in Jesus as Messiah as a direct result of watching the television film, “Jesus of Nazareth” by Franco Zefferelli in 1977. From that moment on she began to read the Old Testament and discovered that believing in Jesus was the fulfillment of her Jewish faith.

If We Don't Find Joy In Our Daily Lives, We Might Be Looking In The Wrong Place Says Louise Pistole, Author Of Bestselling Book, Discover Your Joy

Pistole is a best-selling author, blogger, coach and motivational speaker who describes herself as a "joy-fanatic". Her book provides readers with a quick inspirational read every morning and helps them discover ‘moments of joy’ each day.

As we get older some of us seem to lose the sense of wonder, happiness and joy we experienced as young children. Where did it go? As adults, the pressures we face day after day - job stresses, dealing with health issues, money issues, children, parents, the pandemic, rising inflation and a host of other challenges and problems - can wear us down and wear us out. The world seems to get darker and harder to navigate. At some point, we realize we have lost it. And we naturally blame "the world" and the challenges it hands us day after day.

But is it possible we are looking for the answer in the wrong place?

Greg Bishop, in an article written about athlete Athing Mu, wrote the following in Sports Illustrated:

“Athing Mu, the 20-year-old middle-distance runner from New Jersey who specializes in what’s arguably the sport’s most brutal race. There’s not even a lot of argument. The task: sprint almost as hard as she can, for two full laps around the track, saving enough energy to separate over the final 100 meters but not so much that she’s not in position to separate at all.

That’s precisely where Mu’s other specialty comes in. She runs while exuding an emotion that’s rarely displayed in track, at least not during a race. It’s a simple concept—and yet, an elusive one. It’s what separates her from other elite competitors—and what will power her drive to break a controversial world record that has stood for 39 years.

It’s joy.”

"The joy that resonates and motivates Mu is available to everyone," says Louise Pistole, self-professed joy fanatic and author of the bestselling book 'Discover Your Joy: Daily Splashes of Inspiration for Living an Abundant Life of Happiness, Blessings, and Inner Peace'. "However, not everyone chooses to live in joy on a daily basis."

"If this is a simple concept, exactly what is it?" Pistole offers the following in response:

We must choose joy and we must choose it every day in order to experience this life-defining all-encompassing emotion. Joy is our natural default but it gets lost in the busyness of everyday life.

There are many ways to bring joy into our lives but the easiest path is through gratitude. The more grateful we are, the more joyful we will also be. As we go about our day, it is easy to say, “I am grateful for my nutritious breakfast. My car has plenty of gas. Traffic is light today. My boss is in a great mood.”

While it is easy to say these things, we get busy and distracted and don’t follow through with gratitude every day. Without regular gratitude, it’s hard to obtain the status of joyful. And that is why the emotion of joy is elusive.

Here are some other suggestions of ways to move into the joyful state that inspires Mu:

1. Start the day by reading a devotional or inspirational book. Take time for prayer or meditation.

2. Make gratitude a part of your morning routine. Make a list of a few things you are grateful for or say thank you out loud and think of some of your blessings.

3. Choose to be around other positive people and avoid the negative naysayers.

4. Take time for yourself whether it be reading a book, taking a walk, or getting to bed early. Your body, mind, and spirit all need this reprieve from the stresses of everyday life.

5. Spend time with family, friends, and those who love you. They are your tribe and they will always be there for you. The hugs, smiles, and laughter are all so good for you.

6. Do all the healthy things – eat nutritious meals, drink plenty of water, and get regular exercise. You will not feel joyful if you’re not feeling well most of the time.

7. Get out in nature as often as possible. The trees, flowers, bees, and water all help your mind and spirit to reconnect to the earth. You will feel revived, and again, more joyful.

If you’re not an athlete running sprints on a track, what are the benefits of living a joyful life?

1. Joy releases all the feel-good hormones into our bodies.

2. It makes us more resilient.

3. We will feel more positive.

4. Joy inspires us to be more loving, kinder, and to do good things for other people.

5. But one of the biggest benefits of being joyful is a sense of connection. We feel more connected to ourselves, to those we care about, and the world we live in.

No matter where we are in life, there are many benefits to seeking joy and many ways of finding joy. We all have to figure out what works best for us and reach for the gold.

Discover Your Joy

How does one actually live a life filled with joy? Best-selling author and motivational speaker Louise Pistole has discovered the key to doing just that. She gives us that key in her best-selling book, 'Discover Your Joy: Daily Splashes of Inspiration for Living an Abundant Life of Happiness, Blessings, and Inner Peace'. It is a book unlike any other you will ever read. ‘Discover Your Joy’ was awarded Honorable Mention in the Spiritual/Religious Category at the 2022 San Francisco Book Festival

While many of us believe that happiness is found at the end of some long, arduous process, it is instead that we begin from a state of joy. Some of us have it backwards. Joy is not a reward - it is a choice. And because it is a choice, it is something over which we hold total control. That choice can be made now - today.

Many of us feel hopeless and joyless. Perhaps our intentions are out of alignment with our actions. Surprisingly we can live in joy every day of our lives, but again - it is a choice.

"I made my choice one Sunday morning about 12 years ago when my minister spoke about being joyful and watching out for joy-stealers," Pistole stated. "His message resonated with me and I began my journey to joy through reading, studying, and writing. As I began choosing joy day after day, it gradually became a habit in my life. Now my mission is to guide others to discover their own joy through these daily inspirational readings."

In Discover Your Joy, readers will:

• Enjoy daily inspiration for happiness and joyfulness,
• Learn how to live an abundant life filled with gratitude, hope, and joy,
• Discover inner peace through encouraging words,
• Discover how to become a Joy-Fanatic and enjoy one's best life.

A quick inspirational read every morning helps readers discover ‘moments of joy’ each day. Chock full of encouragement and motivation, readers will learn to seek and experience gratitude, hope, and true joy.

Readers and reviewers alike have praised 'Discover Your Joy'. One said, "Each page in "Discover Your Joy" is a simple and beautiful reminder that the world may not be perfect, there will always be the ups and the downs, but we have the ability to CHOOSE each day how we will use this gift we call life. I highly recommend this book!!" Another stated, "Pistole gives great insight into ways to remind us that our joy is important and to beware of “joy stealers”. This book is a great way to start your mornings with a great cup of coffee and to discover your joy each and every day!"

Louise Pistole is available for media interviews and speaking engagements and can be reached using the information below or by email at pistole9@gmail.com. 'Discover Your Joy: Daily Splashes of Inspiration for Living an Abundant Life of Happiness, Blessings, and Inner Peace' is available in several formats at Amazon and other book retailers.

FDA Approval Of Untested Monkeypox Shot for Kids Is Another Pharma Deception Says Dr. Richard Ruhling

Dr. Richard Ruhling Biblical prophecy expert and taught Health Science at Loma Linda University.

Health officials admit monkeypox is driven by intimate contact, but the Biden administration’s calling it an emergency enables a pro-active do-everything-possible approach which includes a shot that’s never been tested in children, says Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH who was board-certified in Internal Medicine before teaching Health Science at Loma Linda University.

He says that pharma never does long-term studies. They don’t want to know the results of their products long-term. “Drug action always represents artificial interference with the natural functioning of the organism. In the widest sense of the word, every drug is by definition a poison; pharmacology and toxicology are one, and the art of medicine is to use these poisons beneficially.” - Drill’s Textbook of Pharmacology in Medicine, Chapter 5; Mechanisms of Drug Action.

If a best-selling book were negative on doctors and government healthcare, if it suggested that NIH’s cures for disease were largely a myth and the FDA were derelict in their duty to protect the public, there could a public outcry over “healthcare” falsely so called. But because that best-selling book is the Bible, our low level of understanding it favors public acceptance of “scientists” as doing their best—never mind pharma’s process so riddled with greed and deception say Ruhling.

* All five references to “physicians” in the King James Bible have a negative context, including Christ’s reference to a woman who spent all her money on physicians and was no better. Does it sound familiar?

* When asked about the end of the world, Christ said to understand the book of Daniel. Daniel and his friends risked their lives to wisely opted out of government healthcare. The gov mandates make opting out risky for jobs but wise for health reasons.

* The pool of Bethesda in John 5 with a vast throng of lame, blind, impotent people hoping in vain for a cure when an angel would stir the pool is a good fit for National Institutes of Health where our tax dollars are pooled, again in Bethesda (Maryland) for drug research and a similar myth of cure when drugs do not address the underlying cause, that in most cases is something we choose to put in our mouths, says Ruhling.

* Pharmakeia is the Greek word that “deceives all nations” in Revelation 18. This is well-supported by Marcia Angell, MD, former New England Journal of Medicine editor. Her book, “The Truth About the Drug Companies How They Deceive Us” echoes truth as do multiple scientist witnesses vs Dr. Fauci- https://www.wnd.com/2022/08/scientists-put-lie-fauci-claims-u-s-involvement-wuhan/.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a hero for truth and he deserves help in the fight against corruption that is mushrooming. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2022/08/lew-rockwell/kennedy-exposes-big-pharmas-covid-plot-to-destroy-us/

Ruhling’s latest book, MegaQuake 2023 has a short chapter on how the Biden Administration has obscured one of the confirmatory signs for timing the earthquake that initiates biblical end-times next spring. Readers may gets a free copy Friday, August 12 on Amazon Kindle, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W1XVVMV The price is reduced to free with a goal of honest reviews by customers in launching the soft-cover edition, supported also by CBS radio's airing an interview with Dr. Ruhling on Friday at 5 pm Eastern, 2 pm Pacific Time.

Dr. Ruhling is available for speaking engagements and media interviews and can be reached by using the contact information below or by email at RichardGlenRuhling@gmail.com. More information is available at his website at https://TheBridegroomComes.wordpress.com.

About Dr. Richard Ruhling:

Dr. Ruhling graduated from Loma Linda University medical school and planning for overseas work, took a Masters Degree in Public Health. After Internal Medicine training and board certification, he also had a Cardiology Fellowship before teaching at Loma Linda’s School of Public Health. Attending a cardiology convention, he heard Pritikin reporting how a low fat, low cholesterol diet reversed heart disease and got 85% of patients off their drugs for diabetes and blood pressure.

Award-Winning Author And Travel Writer Mark D. Walker Announces New Travel Book, My Saddest Pleasures: 50 Years on the Road

Walker is the author of several award-winning books and articles, one of which was recognized in the Solas Literary Awards for Best Travel Writing.

Author Mark D. Walker has announced the release of an epic new travel book, “My Saddest Pleasures: 50 Years on the Road.”

My Saddest Pleasures borrows its title from one of iconic writer, Moritz Thomsen’s works. It shines a sometimes-lovely, sometimes-piercing light on the countries he visits. In this captivating book, Walker reflects on his fifty years of travel miscalculations and disasters and how and why his travels changed over the years, as has who he traveled with.

As a young Peace Corps Volunteer with no overseas travel experience, the world was his oyster, and he figured he could go anywhere if he set his mind to it—with little or no money. Then he married a Guatemalan lady and had to think more about “our” needs; then, three children meant additional requirements and responsibilities. And later, as a professional fundraiser, he would set up donor visits to program areas where the organizations he represented needed funds, which meant considering the needs of up to fifteen individuals of all ages, including children and some donors in their 70s and 80s. He became a savvier trekker, although he was still prone to the occasional snafu. The book is part of the “Yin & Yang of Travel” series.

“After more than fifty years traveling to some of the most isolated, dangerous parts of the world, I decided to write what I think readers will find as an invaluable portal into the world of timeless travel and what can go wrong. After all, these ‘saddest pleasures gave me eyes.’”

His first book, a memoir titled, Different Latitudes: My Life in the Peace Corps and Beyond, was recognized by the Arizona Literary Association for Non-Fiction. More than 25 of his articles were published in literary journals ranging from Ragazine, Literary Yard, Quail Bell, ELAND and WorldView. He is a contributing writer for the Revue Magazine, a Guatemalan English language publication, Literary Traveler and Literary Yard. He has a column in the Arizona Authors Association newsletter, “The Million Mile Walker, What We Read and Why.” His reviews can also be found on the Midwest Review Bookshelf and GoodReads. Two of his essays were winners for the Arizona Authors Association Annual Literary Awards. This year, another article from his “Yin & Yang of Travel” series, was recognized with the Bronze in the Solas Literary Awards for Best Travel Writing, which is sponsored by Traveler’s Tales.

Walker has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers such as Midwest Review. "My Saddest Pleasures” differs from most both in its size and in its succinct considerations of how travel changes not just self, but the environments that the traveler encounters. The combined flavor of wonder, new experiences, ecological and social reflection, and adventure brings with it a newfound opportunity to understand the traveler's impact on a deeper level than most. Domestic and foreign experiences alike are outlined with these lessons in mind.

Susan Pohlman of the Writers Network in Phoenix said, “…Mark Walker celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe, from isolated areas of the highlands of Guatemala to the highest reaches of the Andes to his present home in the desert Southwest. In his engaging and informal style, Walker shares his trials and tribulations. Whether you’re an armchair traveler or a seasoned one, Walker’s life and travels will be an inspiration!”

The editor of the Arizona Authors Association. Katy Cook said, “In this glorious little travel chapbook, Mark relays his epic journey through life in a vivid, emotional, humorous and insightful account. His remarkable passage through dangers and delights gives witness to the fact that, whether traversing precarious depths or astounding peaks, he has always truly lived, unlike many armchair adventurers. Mark evidences the fact that you don't need money or connections to travel the world. All you need is courage, fortitude, and a yearning to experience all the different flavors of life. Mark was obviously blessed with those gifts in abundance, as well as one more: an incredible wife. His description of Ligia evokes a deep respect in me. She's the kind of woman I'd love to know as a friend. In fact, I'd love to meet both of them and revel in their myriad and fascinating stories, and perhaps share a round of that intriguing "tiger milk." Until then, I'll keep reading all of Mark's wonderful tales.”

Mark D. Walker is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at mark@millionmilewalker.com. His books are available at his website, online book outlets and at the Cyberwit website at https://www.cyberwit.net/publications/1919. More information is available at his website at https://millionmilewalker.com.

About Mark D. Walker:

Mark Walker was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala and spent over forty years helping disadvantaged people in the developing world. He managed programs abroad with CARE and Plan International and for over thirty years raised funds for such organizations as Food for the Hungry, MAP International, Global Brigades, Make-A-Wish International and was the CEO of Hagar USA, which supports survivors of human trafficking. A long-time Rotarian, Walker was the Club President of Scottsdale North Rotary, the District World Community Service Chair and active in the Youth Exchange program where all three of his children went abroad. He’s a recipient of the “Service Above Self” award from Rotary International and a Board member of “Advance Guatemala.” His wife and three children were born in Guatemala.

Author Marlayne Giron Announces New Christian Epic Fantasy Fiction Book, The Victor, Will Be Available At No Charge In Ebook Format August 9 Through August 11, 2022 At Amazon

Giron is considered to be a great new voice in Christian Fiction and writes fiction with a mission. The book will be of special interest to homeschoolers.

Author Marlayne Giron has announced that her Christian Fantasy Fiction book, 'The Victor' will be available to the public in ebook format at no charge August 9 Through August 11, 2022 at Amazon.

In the tradition of Stephen Lawhead and Elizabeth Chadwick, Marlayne Giron writes epic fantasy fiction centered around traditional Christian values. Her work has been compared to 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.

Her latest book, 'The Victor', is an inspirational historical fiction book - written for ages 12 and up - that is destined to become a classic. Perfect as a home school resource, this spellbinding tale is set apart from other Christian fiction books by her subtle but powerful method of presenting Christian principles embedded in a majestic adventure that is gripping, riveting, and engaging for readers of any age.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The book is currently available at https://www.amazon.com/Victor-Tale-Betrayal-Love-Sacrifice-ebook/dp/B09QLRGVSR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ERXFEW3K78GU&keywords=the+victor+marlayne+giron&qid=1659464305&sprefix=the+victor+marlayne+giron%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1. The ebook version will be available at no charge August 9 through August 11, 2022.

Bibical Prophecy Expert Dr. Richard Ruhling Offers Warning To Tony Robbins And Dean Graziosi: Not The “Time to Thrive”

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

With 900,000+ views, a live event on Facebook and YouTube, excitement was high about investing in one’s self in coaching-type info with positive thinking, but Dr. Richard Ruhling, author on current events and Bible prophecy says rich men will “weep and howl” for miseries that shall come on them, James 5.

In getting all the things that money can buy, Americans should be sure they aren’t missing those things money won’t buy, says Ruhling. He contends that too much of success talk leaves God out of the picture. He cites Earl Nightingale’s definition of success as “the progressive realization of a worthy goal.” It’s okay to make money, but it shouldn’t eclipse the basic idea that our rewards in life are in proportion to our service to others.

A person who wants to be a good teacher can have a satisfaction in life for helping students and it goes beyond making money. It’s fine to make money in the process of realizing our goal of service, but making money shouldn’t be our main focus, says Ruhling

He says it’s doubly true when the economy could fold to wipe out prosperity. This is implied in the #1 best-selling book, the Bible, where we see the sequence of a [huge] earthquake followed by all the grass being burnt up. If this were literal, we might die, but we should consider that “as the flower of the grass, so shall the rich man fade”—it’s about the economy when they are no longer rich, James 1.

Three timelines and 7 events point to 2023 for the earthquake that initiates end-times. The easiest to see is how US is like Egypt in Bible times. Egypt enslaved Israel and the US has most people in bondage to negative lifestyles. Egypt threw babies in the river, and the US has thrown 63 million babies in the trash. God freed Israel in a jubilee event that later came every 50 years, and 50 yrs from Roe v Wade is next year, 2023, says Ruhling.

For more information, readers may view his website at https://TheBridegroomComes.wordpress.com. The top article shows 7 events in 2015 that Ruhling believes were a 7-year warning, like Joseph gave to Pharaoh in Egypt.

Since the San Andreas is “80 years overdue,” might Ruhling be correct?

Dr. Ruhling's latest book, MegaQuake 2023, includes a surprise link that is relevant to the Covid crisis we see. The book is available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W1XVVMV. Dr. Ruhling is available for speaking engagements and media interviews and can be reached by using the contact information below or by email at ruhling7@juno.com. More information is available at his website at http://www.HealthHappinessDestiny.com/blog-2/.

In launching his soft-cover, MegaQuake 2023 on Amazon August 12, Ruhling would like to offer a free early digital copy in return for a helpful feedback and an honest review on Amazon soon after it is published. If interested, the reader may email ruhling7@juno.com for a copy.

About Dr. Richard Ruhling:

Dr. Ruhling graduated from Loma Linda University medical school and planning for overseas work, took a Masters Degree in Public Health. After Internal Medicine training and board certification, he also had a Cardiology Fellowship before teaching at Loma Linda’s School of Public Health. Attending a cardiology convention, he heard Pritikin reporting how a low fat, low cholesterol diet reversed heart disease and got 85% of patients off their drugs for diabetes and blood pressure.

The Rain Falls On The Just And The Unjust - Bestselling Author Donna Louis Announces New Inspirational Christian Book, New Motivational Video Lineup

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

Bestselling author Donna Louis has announced a new upcoming book, The Rain Falls On The Just And The Unjust.

Some Christians believe that just because they acknowledge God in their lives, they should never have any sorrow. That is untrue. We will all have challenges, disappointments, and unfair situations arise in our lives but as believers in God, we are to trust, have faith, and believe that God has our back and will keep us lifted above, fight our battles, and always allow us to triumph. Every stressful situation that we encounter is a test. We must pass these tests and when we do, God will take us to the next level.

That is the core message of her new book, expected to be released later in 2022. This book follows the release of her best selling motivational book, Book of Proverbs, Proverbs For The Modern Day. Book of Proverbs recently ranked #1 in Best Sellers for Christian Inspirational, #1 in Best Sellers for Christian Devotionals, and #2 in Best Sellers for Christian Spiritual Growth. The book received a 5 star rating from Readers Favorite.

If you are struggling with daily life itself or maybe even deeper issues like suicide, anxiety, hopelessness, and depression these books will help you. Surprisingly, the answer to these and many other challenges have been around for thousands of years. If you're looking for hope, peace, happiness, prosperity, wisdom, and the fullness of life look no further.

Louis also announced she has posted four new videos on her Motivational Monday Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJCieSU2FYdC09F3YNkfzDw. The four new videos are titled:

Pass The Test
If You're Going Through Hell Keep Going
The Rain Falls On The Just And The Unjust
The Half Way Point

'Book Of Proverbs: Proverbs For The Modern Day' 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.

This updated version of 'Book Of Proverbs: Proverbs For The Modern Day', 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. The book is rated 4.9 on Amazon. One reviewer stated, "If you want to gain wisdom this book is yours. Great book."

Donna Louis’ previous best-selling book, ‘Thriving in Every Season of Life with God’, gives us a road map to create a mindset - a new life in which we can learn to prosper in any circumstance, however dire. This book achieved bestseller status in two categories: Spiritual Self Help and Motivational Self Help.

To understand what it means to "thrive," we must look beyond the dimension of finances. The concept of thriving can be applied to our health, our relationships, our habits and our peace of mind. God wants us to thrive. But it does not just happen - we must take action to make it happen.

Set against the backdrop of four "seasons of life", Louis, in the tradition of writers such as Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer, discusses how you can thrive, prosper, and flourish. Much like growing crops, we prepare in spring, grow in summer, harvest in fall and rest in winter. At times, we must nurture and cultivate, at other times we bloom and reproduce, and at other times we harvest and replant.

'Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God' is a book that can be read in just a few hours and provides readers with powerful ideas and concepts that can be implemented immediately, allowing them to thrive in the midst of adversity. The book received a five-star rating from Readers Favorite.

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.

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

'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. All of her books are available at Payhip at http://bit.ly/1jFX4qs, at Barnes and Noble at http://bit.ly/2LECI1h,  and at Amazon at https://amzn.to/38wW82l.
