Freedom of Religion by Individual Choice
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99We often hear that America’s Founding Fathers were deeply religious, but were they really? Was America meant to have a state sponsored religion, or did they believe that all Americans have the right to worship and observe and practice their religion their way. The Founding Fathers were from a time when many European Countries had state or national religions and as these men observed and learned about the conditions that citizens lived under, they came away with a deep understanding of what it meant as they set out to build a new country from the ground up.
This work looks closely at what these men thought and said about organized religion by making use of letters, papers and documents written in their own hand, to help the reader better understand why the country was founded without a national religion.

The Journey: The Dream of a 6th Grader
Price range: $4.99 through $20.99It’s often been said that every person has at least one book inside of them. The main purpose of this book is to express in written form my experiences I had throughout my journey to North America for my children and grandchildren.
But, if this book will have an impact on someone that is going through a similar experience or has been in my shoes and it will help them not to stop or give up, it will definitely accomplish its objective.
My motto for this book was to learn from the past, to live in the present, and focus on the future. My guide: Proverbs 3:5-6; Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all the ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Christian Science: Its Encounter With Lesbian/Gay America…2nd Edition
Price range: $3.99 through $21.99Author Bruce Stores has shed light on a hitherto unknown chapter in the annals of Christian Science. Here is the story of lesbian/gay believers. Herein is their pursuit for respect and dignity in the Church of Christ, Scientist. Th e narrative traces stormy encounters from the days of near-total rejection up to the friendlier atmosphere in the 21st century. Some events in this real-life story are shameful while others are praiseworthy.
This book relates perseverance, hope, and especially healing.
Anyone who values the triumph of right over wrong, and truth over error, will fi nd this narrative both compelling and highly informative. Despite the title, this book has little to do with religion per se. Its purpose is to chronicle a segment of the ages-old confl ict between freedom of conscience and ecclesiastical authoritarianism. Th e pursuit of freedom in one religious denomination is set against the backdrop of the wider LGBT movements for full equality including civil rights and marriage.
This new edition includes four new chapters, nine new appendices, and an index. It has been revised and updated throughout.

The Beacon
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Life sometimes takes us to task.
So we seek our knowledge from the past,
Only to learn that life is an ever changing path
that rolls us in and out of the shadows.
Like a captain of your ship a sail,
Without a Beacon, you’ll surely fail
To find your way upon the seas of life,
And run aground in tears and strife.
That’s why the Beacon came to be,
To shine its light on you and me,
And help guide us safely to shore,
To be lost in life’s seas no more -

Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God lets the reader into the private and intimate areas of the author’s heart and mind. Many writers, pastors, or spiritual leaders encourage others to let God into their lives by telling Bible stories, giving snippets of generalized accounts about their own or others’ experiences, and by sharing philosophical viewpoints. Although not a “how-to” book, Living Loved details one person’s coming to live in close, personal friendship with God. Author Laurice Shafer writes for the person who has wondered about someone else’s spiritual life, hoping to find encouragement for their own experience of God. She tells of God’s efforts to bring her into friendship with Him, describing it as it was…defects of character are acknowledged, God’s specific interventions described heart to heart communication between a woman and her God detailed, and healing and growth in human relationships explored. The hope that comes with experiencing God and His power to restore resounds in this book.

Grace: The Reality of Redemption
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Jannah Mitchell was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Early years through high school graduation were lived in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jannah obtained a B.A. and two master’s degrees in Chicago, Illinois, from Northeastern Illinois University, UIC, and Roosevelt University respectively. Jannah reconnected with her childhood religious roots at Living Word Christian Center in Forest Park, Illinois in 2000. She graduated from the Living Word School of Ministry and Missions in June 2002. Jannah has served with missions’ teams in Bogota and Cali, Colombia, S.A.; Hyderabad, India; Panama (Central America); and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Jannah has a heart for new Christians and for any Christian who is struggling. She hopes that her works will speak to the commonality of obstacles confronted when Christians are moving from darkness into the Kingdom of God. Hopefully, this book and her other works will point the way to victory through spiritual development and renewal of the mind.
In my quest to gain an understanding of the mysteries Paul spoke of, I examined the Pauline epistles. I found a treasure of revelation as I was led through the labyrinth by E.W. Kenyon and later Derek Prince. They had years before delved into the secrets revealed by Paul’s writings.
One thing about God’s Word – it never dries up. Its revelations are never depleted or exhausted. As long as one studies and longs for revelation and understanding, one’s desires will be rewarded. God’s Word is an endless fountain of thirst-quenching water for the soul.
What did I find? I found GRACE, — which is the reality of redemption. There is a lot of talk about grace these days. But what is grace really? This book explores the many facets of God’s gift of grace, freeing the Christian reader to live in a space free of guilt, shame, and sin-consciousness. The finished work of Jesus Christ created that space for every born-again Christian. Walk into that place of liberty and power. God’s GRACE awaits your recognition.

Too Close to Call
Price range: $15.99 through $22.99Homicides are down in the cities, but accidental death rates are up. Why? Buf Collins investigates and gets embroiled in presidential re-election politics.
William Buford (Buf) Collins, VI is trying to help an old friend find out what happened to her husband who turned up dead in a hotel room. They are sure that he was murdered, but the city officials do not agree. There was no gunshot or knife wound. So, according to them it’s an accidental death.
It turns out there is a lot of this going around in all the major U. S. cities.
Someone in the FBI notices this and writes a report and the sitting president appoints a special prosecutor to look into the matter.
Buf Collins’ father-in-law is a very wealthy and powerful man and he gets the president to name Buf Collins as the special prosecutor. The opposing party suddenly loses its presumptive nominee for the presidential election and the old man somehow is able to get Buf nominated! Crazy!
The president is now in a classic political quandary: He appointed Collins to look into the possibility of corruption in the cities, but now his appointee is his opponent. He can’t dismiss him as this would look like he is using his power to his own advantage. And, as Collins is unable to get a continuance on the case, he is precluded from campaigning.
The judge on the case decides to let the media cameras into the courtroom. The president feels like he can’t compete with Collins who is fighting city hall on national t.v. and seeming is winning. So, he tries to undermine Collins’ case in order to ensure that he loses and thus will look bad to the public. He gets the charges to be upgraded from corruption to conspiracy. But, Collins is ready and handles the change seamlessly. Then, the president gets the Attorney General to upgrade the charges from conspiracy to cover up. And, Collins handles this as well.
All the time the election is getting closer, and closer . . .

TRASHED or TREASURED?: A Short, Practical Theology of Aging
Price range: $4.99 through $12.99“Fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14-16) in God’s image (Genesis 1:29-27) – mankind, at any age, is respected and valued by his Creator. How we treat the older adult is a reflection of our spiritual life (Leviticus 19:32). Men and women in their old age should not be rejected but rather reconnected and cared for by the family and the church. Assistance should be provided to help the older adult find purpose and a way to serve God until the last breath. From the first breath all in the human race begin a journey that hopefully ends with an abundant entrance into eternal life: crossing a bridge from life’s experience to life eternal, having lived a life of eternal significance and purpose… leaving a legacy for the coming generations. (See Philippians 3:12-14, 2 Peter 1:5-15 and Psalm 71:18.)”
“As the church prepares to minister to the wave of aging Boomers who will challenge the resources and programs of the church, it seems obvious that we need to develop a clear, consistent, and practical theology of aging. As one of the deans at Bethel Seminary I realize how important this is for training our emerging leaders. I believe that Chaplain Glenn Havumaki has penned an essential tool to train and prepare the next generation of pastoral leaders. This is a good resource for anyone who leads a church or is training to do so.” Dr. Douglas W. Fombelle, Dean Emeritus Bethel Seminary.

Have You Seen My Daddy?
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Who is your daddy? If Pastor John R. Peyton was asked this question when he was a boy, he might be ashamed to admit who his daddy was, having grown up in an abusive household with an alcoholic, womanizing father.
However, now as a faithful servant of God and pastor of a loving church, he can now say his true daddy is that of his heavenly Father God.
His new book, Have You Seen My Daddy?, is Pastor John’s detailed life story, beginning with his birth and childhood in Virginia to a strong Christian mother and an abusive, lost father. As he grew up, he witnessed hypocrisy in his home church and racism from other churches, wondering if this Jesus that was spoken of was really someone to be praised and worshipped.
He was soon drafted into the army and traveled to Central America and, all while struggling with his hatred toward white people that intensified through his involvement with the Black Panther Party. It wasn’t until the most unlikely of people witnessed to him of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice that Pastor John’s life turned around and because of this he was sent to Vietnam.
As Pastor John moved forward with his life, becoming a husband and father to three daughters, he began to feel God leading him down certain paths where his testimony of God taking away the hate and bringing him peace was impacting people’s lives.
Pastor John, as an agent of reconciliation for God, has been the vessel to change the lives of many, from lost lives in prison ministry to the well-to-do and various races and statuses. The hope is that readers will understand through his life story the need for God in our lives and that change for the better can only happen through Jesus.
Have you seen your Daddy? Because He’s looking for you!

THE MOVING WORDS REVIEW
BOOK INFORMATION:
Title: A Haunted Symphony
Author: Michele Wallace Campanelli
Publisher: Author Reputation Press, LLC Publication
Date: November 16, 2023
Review date: November 24, 2023
Genre: Mystery, Supernatural Fiction, Drama
BOOK REVIEW:
Our story begins with Maria, a passionate and dedicated orchestra volunteer, who starts a new role filled with unexpected twists and turns. The symphony, a place of harmony and artistry, soon becomes the background for occurrences that hint at a supernatural presence. The other members and volunteers, each with unique personalities and stories, find themselves involved in secrets and past connections that slowly unravel as the story progresses.
Maria and her colleagues discover that their beloved symphony hall is haunted by more than just the echoes of music past. Strange sounds, unexplained events, and ghostly apparitions begin to stir, bringing to light old legends and tales long thought to be mere folklore. Amidst this, the characters deal with their personal challenges and relationships, adding breadth to the story.
What are the hidden secrets of the symphony’s past, and how are they connected to the mysterious occurrences within its walls? This was the start of a book that promises to keep one fascinated until the very end.
Set against the backdrop of an orchestra, the story peeks into the lives of its characters, including their relationships, secrets, and past events. Michele Wallace Campanelli truly shines in her storytelling in A Haunted Symphony. She created a vivid and attention-grabbing world. For example, the descriptions of the symphony, its music, and the characters’ interactions with their tools and environment are so detailed that readers can almost hear the music and feel the emotions (e.g., Donnie losing a limb).
Campanelli’s characters are well-developed-each with their individual backstory and motivations. How she intertwines their lives and reveals their connections and secrets as the story advances is satisfying. As the pages flip, readers can appreciate the seamless integration of supernatural elements into the tale-the ghostly aspects are handled with a deft touch, ensuring that they enhance rather than overpower the plot.
Overall, A Haunted Symphony is well-paced, balancing moments of tension and mystery. Building suspense is one of its strongest suits, keeping readers guessing and on the edge of their seats. The twists and turns of the story are well-executed, with surprising yet believable revelations. It’s a novel that will appeal to fans of mystery and the supernatural, as well as those who appreciate well-crafted, character-driven stories.

How God Breathed Life Into Me
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99The little girl was so scared. She stared into space, wondering what future she could possibly have in her ugly, unhappy mind. Hiding on the bench that was pushed under the table, afraid to face Mama’s wrath because once again, this dear little girl, only six years old, broke a stack of glass dishes that came crashing down, hitting the floor while she was doing what mama asked, set the table for the family to sit down and eat together. Never a kind word spoken, all ugly snarls and accusation after accusation hurled into this young girl’s heart and the beatings that followed later.
This story is written as my story. My journey of how a heart can grow ugly and bitter in a home where the mother is not using her words to bless her children and how tragically this can cause the whole household to fall in a place completely out of line of God’s order and how God used this ugliness to set this bitter, angry woman free.
This story is written by a plain woman in an Amish Mennonite setting, being careful not to point any fingers at anyone but to use my story to bring honor and glory to God, that everyone who reads its pages can realize how valuable they are in God’s sight regardless of what ugly life has dished out to them. I love butterflies because they remind me that it’s never too late to transform ourselves. -

Through deep insights, spiritual wisdom, and thought-provoking teachings, GIATI unveils the mystery of the seen and the unseen, the lost and the saved-revealing that there is no separation, only knowledge and unknowing. It is a call to remembrance, a guide to transformation, and an invitation to see yourself and the world as divine expressions of the One.
