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.

The Kingdom Bible: New Testament
$41.99THE KINGDOM BIBLE
I have had the pleasure of knowing Terry Kashian for the past five years and during that time, Terry has proven he is a dedicated researcher who never settles for surface-level answers, always digging deeper to uncover the underlying truths. His meticulous attention to detail and his unwavering commitment to accuracy have made him a valuable asset to the work of translation.
One of Terry’s greatest strengths is his ability to think critically and analytically, allowing him to approach complex issues with a level-headed and rational perspective. He is not swayed by emotion or bias, but rather relies on solid evidence and logical reasoning to form his conclusions.
In addition to his analytical skills, Terry is an excellent communicator. He is able to articulate his ideas clearly and persuasively, making complex concepts accessible to a wider audience. His passion for the truth shines through in everything he writes or speaks about, inspiring others to think critically and question the status quo. Terry’s commitment to accurately translating the Bible from Greek to English is truly commendable, as he approaches each word and passage with a level of reverence and attention to detail that is truly inspiring. His honesty and commitment to the task at hand are truly commendable, and I have no doubt that his translation work will have a lasting impact on those who read it and will benefi t many generations to come.
Overall, Terry is a man of great character and sincerity, and his dedication to translating the Bible from Greek to English is a testament to his passion for spreading the word of God.

A Time Of War: Memoir of a Vietnam Medic
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99These are my stories from my time serving at the end of the war- but probably not in consecutive order. I am 66 years old as I write this and do feel that time and memory may not be 100%, but I will tell my stories as best I can remember them. May they give insight and understanding to anyone who cares to read them. The experience did change my life, however, I did not directly volunteer, nor would I choose to do it again if I could go back in time. I remember seeing tears in my Dad’s eyes, himself a WWII combat veteran, when I told him I, too, was going to war. My mother openly wept. I promised her I would not take any unnecessary chances-a promise I would later break.

The Book of Mary: A Commentary on the Protevangelium of James
Price range: $3.99 through $21.99This commentary provides a new paradigm for understanding the Protevangelium of James. It is not an early Christian text but a late Jewish text with prophetic implications for the canonical works of the New Testament. The commentary begins with a study of selected portions of the Gospel of Mark. This indicates that Mark knew of the Protevangelium and encoded it within his gospel. As a result, it can be shown that the Protevangelium dates before any of the canonical works of the New Testament. With this perspective, the author provides a new analysis of the text of the Protevangelium without drawing on any canonical Christian texts. In the process, additional evidence is found that links it to works in the Old Testament. In conclusion, the Protevangelium draws on the Old Testament and has prophetic implications for the New Testament. The Protevangelium belongs to neither the New Testament nor the Old Testament but stands between them. The present analysis yields new information on how Christianity developed from its Jewish roots. It is ‘The Book of Mary’ that is the first link in the chain of development.

The Ice Underneath: My Passage Through Loss and Faith: A Memoir
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99When Wanda Broach-Butts and her husband Ted were asked to take in a foster child-a 14-year-old named Aaron, being held in jail on shoplifting charges-they were ambivalent about saying yes. They had already raised four foster youth and had given back as much as they could. They wanted to enjoy each other in retirement with no distractions, perhaps even live out their dream of relocating to a Caribbean island.
But if they didn’t accept the teenager into their home, the agency said there was a good chance no one would, so Wanda and Ted said yes. They were told little about Aaron’s family history, but that had been the case with every young person they took in. They saw hints of the past in their habits and behaviors-just the tip of the iceberg, without really knowing what lay beneath. Yet this had never been a concern before, and besides, Aaron would be their last foster child.
The Ice Underneath is an unsparing account of Wanda’s passage through an unfathomable tragedy that tested, to the breaking point, her profound Christian faith. With introspective courage, she relentlessly examined and questioned what she thought she believed about herself and found strength in her family’s complex history of loss and redemption. This memoir is a testament not only to our capacity to endure the unimaginable, but to emerge from it with greater resilience and spiritual fortitude than we thought possible.

The Journey to Hangtown Haven
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99How a group of committed volunteers led by a retired aerospace engineer built a homeless shelter in a gold rush community and how the power and financial elite closed it down. Was it because Hangtown Haven was an unexpected success?
How does one build a successful homeless shelter that is legal, practical and economical at no cost to the taxpayer? A group of homeless volunteers led by a retired aerospace engineer along with non-profit corporations and concerned churches jumped into the fray and did just that. Not, however, without making mistakes and ruffling feathers along the way. No one could have predicted how controversial it would be to provide shelter to our neighbors who had no place to live. “We are going to build a modern dog shelter with $7 million, but don’t bother asking the county or the city for one penny to help our homeless citizens.”
So, the real question is, “How do you build a homeless shelter that works and is acceptable to the entire community with donations only?” This book tells the story of one Sierra community’s eff ort to answer this question and how its success proved that it could be done, however its success also turned the city’s power establishment against it.
When it was obvious that the shelter was a success and homeless people were thriving, the city’s power structure got together and closed it down throwing forty homeless men and women out of their shelter in the middle of winter with no place to live.
But the genie is out of the bottle now and the occupants of this small gold mining town know how to do it the next time. They are prepared to try again until they are successful even though all of the business, political and power interests are determined to stop it. Th is story tells how it was done, how it can be done and how to avoid serious mistakes along the way.

Disillusioned: A Journey from Certainty to Faith
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Disillusioned is a memoir, a spiritual how-not-to, and a revelation of hope for experiencing God and living the message of Jesus in a bold new way. In this candid and moving story, former mega-church pastor Dan Cox shares how, after a lifetime of Christianity, he watched his long-held belief systems go up in smoke. And how, like burning a field for new growth, his disillusionment allowed him to grow spiritually in ways his old faith never allowed.
Cox had erected a perfect Christian framework around his life: Overseas mission work. Pastoring a fledgling church into a 6500-member church. Building a family. But even as he seemed to have all the answers, Cox became filled with doubts about his ministry and his marriage, and deeply depressed. Facing tremendous trials and feeling a disconnect between his theology and his experience, he prayed fervently. Yet God seemed absent. Eventually, all his certainties-about marriage, prayer, the Bible, and even salvation-lay in ashes at his feet. So he had to start over again. And on that seared ground, God and his grace met him, and he began to radically reconstruct his life-this time supported by true faith.
Disillusioned is an honest exploration of what happens when the answers you’ve grown up with-and doled out to everyone else-don’t make sense anymore. Around the world, there are millions like Dan who, dissatisfied with their Christian experience, are walking away from church. This book is for those on the edges. The faint. The fallen. The desperate. The doubters. Here is a hopeful story, offering comfort and a fresh vision for a renewed and authentic life of freedom in Christ.
