I want to be a Keeper of The Presence

I love this: 
"I want to be a keeper of the Presence, a 
presence driven person. It's Gods presence that refreshes, cools us when we're in the fire, leads us to safety through the floods, and drops down like the dew of morning. God has Angels of His Presence. Today I feel hassled by so many tasks to be accomplished. I am declaring His Presence is going before me, leading me with grace through the morass of life's necessary responsibilities. Let Judah arise and speak to the mountains of necessary duties. I will yet praise Him." Apostle Pastor Barbara Yoder

Book Review: King

First there was the book," Prophet".  The there was, "Judge".  Now Book #3 "King."  
As it introduces the story line of Akabe,  a man chosen by The Infinite to be King of Siphra; it also re-unites old friends Ela, The Prophet and Kien Lantech, the hero of Judge.  It not only takes them through new adventures it also brings a conclusion to many of their stories.  King Akabe's challenge comes when he desires to rebuild the Infinite's Holy House in Siphra.  The only problem is he's not getting any direction from The Infinite, so he rushes ahead with his own plans.  The land he needs is held by the Thaenfall family, Atea-worshipers, who will only sell the land if he marries into their line.  He knows full well that they hate him fiercely,  both him and his God.  He marries  Caitria Thaenfall, and the land is released to him.   But this path he has chosen is not going to be an easy one; not for him or his new bride or any of his friends.  There's just too many people eager to kill them all!

I really liked this book and stayed up late to finish reading it because I was so close to the ending.  Well written, interesting people as usual, scary creatures, powerful imagery and I would say some pretty good fight scenes.  I really liked the fact that The Infinite had mercy, and more mercy but there came a point where he showed his power through his prophet when they refused to listen.  We saw time after time where He saved his followers and not always as they thought he might.  I think one of the reasons I liked it as well is that  theme of Overcoming in the end.  I'm a sucker for that and I'm not ashamed to say so.  

I received a FREE copy of this Bethany House book through Baker Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review. 

BOOK REVIEW: Frame 232

Sheila Baker, discovers that her mother held a secret for many years; something so fearful that it  affected her daily life and the fear that came with it actually stole much of her life. She was the  ‘Babushka Lady’- that people had talked and wondered about.  At the reading of her mother's will Sheila discovers that the information now passes to her.  Its a secret of national importance; something that will bring insight into who killed John F. Kennedy.  Caught on film is also proof that there was more than one shooter.  Through a series of events, Sheila finds an unlikely ally in billionaire Jason Hammond.  There are forces out there that don't want the truth to come out...no matter what it takes or how many people have to die.  Run Sheila and Jason, they have you in their sights; and a lot of people have a lot to lose if this truth gets out.

This was a really interesting work of fiction; it kept me interested all the way through.  There were some really good conspiracy theories at work and the people in the stories, I really enjoyed.  This is probably one of the few stories like this I have read, but I am glad that I did. it looks like more stories about Jason Hammond and his adventures are being written, I'm looking forward to it.

Frame 232 with Wil Mara Video- 3:00 minutes long.

I've added a quick Question and Answer Session from the author; check below:
Q & A with Wil Mara,  author of Frame 232:
What inspired you to write a novel around the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy?
I have always been fascinated by the assassination, which, obviously, was one of the most pivotal and enigmatic events in American history. And when I heard about the ‘Babushka Lady’---one of the few people in Dealey Plaza that day who remains unidentified---and the possibility that she may have filmed the shooting, an idea came to mind that seemed too good to disregard.

How much research did you do for this project?
An unbelievable amount. I spoke with assassination experts, read literally hundreds and books and
articles, pored over countless photos...you name it. My goal was to write a fictional story around the established facts rather than alter the facts to serve the story. Thus, I had to know pretty much
everything. I ended up loading my brain with more data than I really needed...but I didn't mind.

What would you like to say to Christian retailers to help them promote Frame 232?
I have tried like mad to strike an ideal balance between solid, suspenseful storytelling and the delivery of worthwhile Christian messages without being over-the-top preachy. All the books in the series, while undeniable in their Christian content, are suitable for the mainstream market as well and thus should find a broad audience. It is also important to note that they were designed not just in regard to what they offer, but what they don’t offer---readers will not have to deal with inappropriate language, gratuitous sexual content, brazen violence, or any of the similar nonsense that characterizes so many other forms of contemporary storytelling. The subject matter might be somewhat advanced in places, but it can be safely absorbed and enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

A Passion to prove God is Good!

"True disciples have a passion to prove what is good. They are devoted to goodness because they see it as the only lifestyle that can truly represent the nature of God. For Christ's sake, we must abound in goodness and be filled up with it and be giving it away at every opportunity."

BOOK REVIEW: ANOMALY

Imagine the world you know now totally destroyed by a nuclear war.  There are survivors thanks to scientists called The Ten.   Being the geniuses that they are, they have hit on the solution to what they think will make for The Perfect world.  Answers to make sure that no one ever experiences war, and destruction that they had lived through.  Of course that means that they need to erase all emotions, all love, all feelings, in the people they now make.  They will ruthlessly annihilate anyone, who doesn't meet their cold, efficient standards.  Too bad Thalli  is what they fear the most, an anomaly.  She's done everything she can to hide it but she won't be able to for very much longer.  Her childhood friend Berk is a scientist that is being groomed by The Ten, he remembers Thalli, fondly. There is also talk about their being someone more powerful than The Ten. The Designer is his name and it seems that Thalli being an anomaly is part of his plan.

Intense, gripping; hard to put down book.  5 Star rating from me; with no hesitation.  Its like a world filled with generations of Mr. Spock.  Pure logic, no emotions or questions allowed, with each person having their  specific area of expertise.  Thalli's just so happens to be Music.   There are several movies that come to mind with a similar theme, too bad I can't think of the names of them.   But its not really that important; this writing was  truly attention holding.


I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255

New Identity formed from difficulties- Graham Cooke

“Your current difficulties will define a new place of identity for you. God is calling you up to a high place in His loving kindness and favor. Be sheltered by His grace over you. Be protected in His love. Be cloaked in His power. Stand above the enemy and rise up above the difficulty!”
