Dolapo Babalola, Author Of ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’, Named As One Of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’


Babalola was picked from a field of hundreds of authors who appeared on The Authors Show. Her inspirational book, entitled ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’, helps people understand how God works behind the scenes to create miracles, sometimes at the last minute

Dolapo Babalola, author of ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’, has been named one of ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. Babalola was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. ‘My God Even In The Last Minute’ is an inspirational Christian book that details how God works in people’s lives, often behind the scenes and sometimes at the last minute.

“It is an honor,” stated Dr. Babalola, “and a dream come true to be included in the prestigious 2011 edition of the ‘50 Great Writers You Should be Reading’. Certainly this is a testament to the fact that it is never too late to have your dreams come true.”

In her inspirational book, readers will learn about the journey of a young aspiring physician who, in the pursuit of a permanent residency in the United States, faced multiple obstacles and challenges. Each day through this ongoing ordeal, she experienced God in a way that she never would have imagined. God showed up in the most unexpected places, in the last minute, and always with a life-changing lesson. The greatest lesson in our darkest hours of uncertainty is that God is close by, quietly working behind the scenes, bolstering our faith for a miracle.

A recent Amazon review stated, “Dolapo presents a God who does not abandon us, a God who is always there even in the darkest time of night, and a God that will make our joy full in the morning. ‘My God, Even In The Last Minute' is told from the prism of Dolapo's experience on the path of obtaining a US permanent residency. She dispenses motivational bible verses and some information on the process of H1B documentation and eventual green card. It was also a fun read, tells an engaging story and is well written.”

Author Harel Lawrence Appears On The Christian Authors Show Radio To Discuss His Christian Poetry Book ‘Take A Closer Look'


Lawrence’s awarding winning book is a poetic examination of faith, love and spirituality written to open readers' eyes

[August 25, Wilmington NC] Harel Lawrence’s latest release, Take A Closer Look: A Spiritual Journey Into The Soul, serves as a tool for closer examination of love, faith and Christian spirituality.

One need look no further than today’s headlines to see that mankind may be in serious trouble: war in the Middle East and elsewhere, oil spills in the Gulf Of Mexico and China, prejudice, governmental corruption, global terrorism – all these are at an all time high. There seems to be no end in sight. Mankind looks for solutions to these worldly problems in the world itself. Author Harel Lawrence believes this approach may be wrong and that the answer to any problem can be found by taking a closer look within.

"I wrote this book," stated Mr. Lawrence, "for many reasons. But I feel that my reasons are best expressed in 1st Corinthians: 'This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words'".

Mr. Harel's poems are not ordinary Christian poems or Christian poetry, but are instead prose poems, which gives the thoughts they contain a more meaningful presentation. These thoughts can be inspiring and can make a wonderful collection for anyone who is searching for the right path and for love in our difficult age.

The book contains inspirational and encouraging thoughts for readers of all ages. After each poem, he offers brief interpretations of each poem to help guide readers in their understanding.

“My hope,” continued Mr. Harel, “is that each reader will find their own meaning in these poems to help and guide them. And I hope that the glory of God will touch each person's heart and bring the reader as much enjoyment as I experienced when writing these thoughts.”

The Editor's Choice Award was presented to Harel Lawrence on November 2005 and 2006 for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry. This was presented by poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry. Lawrence received the National Poet Laureate through the poetry.com for the reviews that he gotten for his poems submitted at poetry.com. He also received the International Who's Who in Poetry for some of his poems.

Mr. Lawrence is currently appearing on The Christian Authors Show radio at http://www.TheChristianAuthorsShow.com. He is available for media interview and can be reached using the contact information below. More information is available at his website, or by email at harellawrence@att.net. Take a Closer Look: A Spiritual Journey Into The Soul is available at his website and at most online book outlets.

Author Greg Allen Attempts To Keep The Memories Of WWII Veterans Alive In War Of The Heart


WWII Veterans are now actively engaged in yet another battle. Thousands of WWII veterans die every week. Their legacy of service and sacrifice is fast becoming nothing more than a distant memory in the minds of those of us who follow them. Greg Allen hopes to keep that legacy vividly alive in his book, War Of The Heart

Greg Allen believes World War II veterans hold a place that is uniquely their own in the history of the United States. He also believes the stories of the service and the sacrifices of our World War II veterans are in danger of being lost. His hope is to preserve this legacy within the pages of his book, War Of The Heart.

“If you were to spend a day,” stated Mr. Allen, “in the rehabilitation ward of any VA Hospital you’d be forever changed. World War II Veterans are dying off at an alarming rate. Their stories need be heard and need to be preserved. Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. These men fought because they love America, and in essence, they loved their fellow man enough to sacrifice themselves. They’re common folk, just like you and me, who come from every walk of life. The scars of war will never leave them.”

War of the Heart follows the amazing journey of a young, adventurous American, Jonathan Freed. Growing up in the Deep South under the hardships of the Great Depression, Jonathan experiences his share of turmoil and hard living, but across the sea, the sinister brew of Nazism lurks - threatening to embroil him and others in a dark conflict. Like many of the era, Jonathan hears the call of military service. His career spans two wars and eventually rewards him the distinction of being the youngest chief chaplain of the U.S. Army.

“In interviewing over a dozen veterans,” continued Mr. Allen, “while writing 'War of the Heart' I found it striking how many would stare at the floor when recalling their experiences; never bragging of hero status nor stating how bold they were, just unwilling to dredge up the horror. I became a better listener in the process. I could see the tortuous thoughts, painful memories, well in their eyes as they described how scared they were as the war raged around them. In the process I gained a greater respect for those brave souls.”

“America is a country like no other, birthed out of a longing for liberty, whose citizens will willfully fight tyrants like Hitler and Mussolini who oppress that God given right. The Constitution was divinely inspired, I'm convinced of that, a model for others, and as the persecution or destruction of innocent souls occurs, Jew or Gentile, it becomes evident that the fiber of our being is to intercede. Everyone who enjoys freedom should read this book, young and old alike, for it highlights the cost of freedom’s price. The Great Depression affected everyone back then, just as the Great Recession has today, but we Americans are a giving people who hang together, unwilling to sit back while others suffer.”
