 Pastor Louise

 
Pastor Louise draws upon Scripture and her own experiences as a mother and grandmother to teach how to raise our children in a Godly fashion. 
 
In today's world where children are distracted and drawn away from the Church and Christian principles, especially the intensely secular world of public education, the IT universe (think of cell phones used by children ten to twelve hours a day), and the emphasis on pleasing one's self, she takes us to the Bible for the lessons that transcend time and history, related to truth, honesty, self-sacrifice, obedience (especially to parents!), and, ultimately, to God and Jesus for answers on how to live.

The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story
By: A.I. Wexler & Mark Cardona
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 Stars
.
The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story by A.I. Wexler based on a concept by Mark Cordona, is an exciting and unique look into the long-awaited birth of The Messiah and so much more! This book has been written to display the glory of The Son of God, The Father, and Christ’s sacrifice for humankind. His death on a cruel Roman cross displays His great love for all humanity and the arrival of The Holy Spirit completes the New Covenant. Readers will not be disappointed with the content and deep symbolism, giving honor and glory to the One Who died for all.
.
Eli, a shepherd from the tribe of Levi, witnesses the angelic announcement of the birth of The Savior in the sacred area of Bethlehem. After experiencing the awe-inspiring announcement, he is witness to the gifts and offerings when presented to the young Messiah. The treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the Magi emphasizes the value of the child and Eli is ever faithful to honor his lifelong commitment recording events in the life of The Savior for the regal visitors.
.
Recounting the human side of the amazing birth, the author reminds readers that God worked and works through humble individuals. The author has woven a fictional account of Eli telling the Biblical story of the Savior’s life, giving full credence to scriptural concepts and principles. This personal presentation of the incredible birth and life of Messiah brings the glory of Heaven and Yeshua (Jesus), the Jewish Messiah, into the forefront for all to read and enjoy.  
.
Each step and phase of Eli’s life unfolds the revelation of the Messiah, the promised King of Israel with a keen sense of detail. The author has a way of storytelling that seems to work into the reader’s soul. Filled with vivid descriptions, adventure, scriptural truths, and romance, one will discover the secrets of a well-kept clay encased scroll unveiled by Eli. The extraordinary parchment reveals wonderful facets in this gem of a story.
.
The Magi’s Man comes highly recommended and will quickly become a family favorite. It is a masterfully told epic tale of the mystery of the ages as revealed through the Bible and this telling of The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story will entertain and inspire. 
.
This should become a classic!  You may get your copy of The Magi’s Man at Amazon and in Kindle as a download. For further information about the author and the book visit The Magi's Man or A Shepherd Story

Westward Lies the Sun (A Novel) by Robert H. Kono is an epic novel blending historical fiction of the Japanese internment camps during WWII with the grandeur of love, romance, legacy, Samurai and Japanese heritage with the question of God and the reality of the spiritual realm.
.
The novel unfolds revealing Greg, his life and past, as the author captures each time period of his life well. Greg’s conversations with his friends and his own self-doubt being a Japanese American experiencing his own subculture being Japanese, which has caused Greg to question his own self-worth stemming from teenage years. Feeling culturally divided coupled with the trauma he had to endure throughout his growing up years, he feels displaced culturally. “He felt as though he were a pioneer or explorer, out to hack his way through the wilderness of the identity question.” (p. 11) This is just an example of the writer’s way of conveying this mental tug-of-war within the main character, Greg.
.
From a Christian perspective, the novel speaks on Greg’s personal reflections upon God, His existence and why bad things happen upon the Earth without cramming the Christian religion down one’s throat. This is much appreciated as the author gives enough information and Scripture to just make readers “think for themselves.”
.
Greg, as a staunch humanist, spends time with his four friends at their poker games that reveal much conversation about God. The book reveals a dark past for Greg and his family, being of Japanese descent during WWII and the horror of the camps. Their only crime, being Japanese, Greg reveals the loss of a family heirloom, in which he goes searching for. The epic continues as Greg and his family survive a shipwreck on an island, which ends up giving them life amid their tragedy. This book is a movie in the making with a dreamy, mysterious, and memorable title!
.
With a beautiful ending, surprises and twists along the way, the book keeps the attention of readers. I was hooked from chapter one. The beautiful descriptions of the lake and the cultural tensions that the Japanese experienced during the time of WWII provide an interesting backdrop. The author gives readers a true appreciation for family, love, patriotism, combined with dark overtones of racism prevalent during the WWII era, while also sharing Christianity in such a way that makes sense, giving equity a voice. 
.
An absolutely fascinating novel with an epic title made for the big screen! 
 
.
You may get your copy of Westward Lies the Sun at Amazon and in Kindle as a download.
