To Then and Back Again: A Memoir Part One A Collection of Uh-Oh’s, No No’s and A Few OMG’S
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99To Then And Back Again is a memoir written in two parts. It’s a book for those who enjoy the trials and tribulations of real-life people and feel they can or would like to relate to those whom they are reading about. It’s a memoir about only those richest, most interesting details concerning my life…or so I would like to think. It was written to convey those sometimes simple, sometimes complex, but many times emotionally charged experiences I’ve had during my life. Whether these emotions were elicited by the harsh realities of adversity that I, like many, have faced and overcome, or by the personal triumphs achieved through perseverance, and at times, through sheer willpower alone is for the reader to decide. I will, however, try to express them in such a manner as to allow the readers the chance to decide for themselves. We will embark on a journey to then and back again; an odyssey that will encompass a multitude of adventures that are at times disturbing and chaotic, and at other times fascinating and humorous. These adventures will range from overcoming desperation and loneliness as a result of a hidden identity, to the anguish of a best friend and his suicide that served absolutely no purpose nor had any meaning; a suicide that gained nothing for anyone…especially himself. From an insidious monster’s theft of a child’s innocence to things that just happen; catching you unaware, then kicks you right square in your pearly whites. The journey will certainly run the gamut of human experiences and emotions, and I will share my life with the reader if they wish to take the ride. And of which I’m also certain, if I do it suitably, then they will vicariously become the reader’s adventures as well. The first part is about my life from the time I was about eight years old, when our family home was destroyed by fire to when I was just out of high school and first went out to live on my own. The second part will be about my life from when I was about twenty until I was thirty something. It will begin when my dad and I built my first home until I finally moved from my hometown to go off to medical school.

“Thank you for your wonderful book! Your insight into life and death, and your terrible experiences from which you have learned patience and understanding, will help us all to become better people.”
–Paula Bjornn, Registered Nurse
It was dusk as my husband and I entered the small cemetery to place flowers on the three graves-Jonathan, our firstborn son who died at eight months from a rare pneumonia; Michael, our violinist son who left us at age sixteen due to pancreatic cancer; and Seb, a loving son who trained hawks and suffered blindness and neurodegeneration after thirty years of immunodeficiency. As the sun set with crimson colors. I placed bright summer flowers on each grave. ‘Help me to do what I should do with my life,’ I said to my sons. It was clear what my path should be. I could not let their lives be lost in vain! I should write stories of struggle, love, and faith. “They are doing work now in heavenly spheres, and I must do mine while I still have time!” I said to myself. It all seemed so clear.
This powerful memoir describing Colleen Openshaw’s frequent encounters with illness and death will convey important insights when we experience these unwanted sorrows in our own lives. Losing her parents to cancer and old age, a sister in a car accident, her husband to organ failure and Alzheimer’s, as well as her three precious sons to hyper-IgM Syndrome-has given Colleen unusual understanding in facing end-of-life issues. Relying on her faith in God as well as her own grit and determination, her experience can give us a unique comprehension of how to confront these inevitable trials common to all mankind.

Understanding God’s Program for the Ages: A Study of Dispensations and Covenants
Price range: $3.99 through $20.99THE PURPOSE of this book is to enable the reader of the Bible to study his Bible with understanding. The Bible is God’s Word. As God is holy and righteous, His word is true without any contradiction. This study is based upon the truth that “we have a more sure word of prophecy” (II Peter 1:19). It is also based upon “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation” (II Peter 1:20). Therefore, we can be assured that we have understood God’s mind when our view of any part of scripture is not contradicted by any other scripture. We have no right to an “interpretation” but we have the privilege of understanding God’s truth shared with His Creation and recorded in the Bible.
The Key to accomplishing this is found in
grasping the truth of God’s plan for the ages
which flows between the truths of Biblical
Covenants and dispensations.

God-Moses-Me: Conversation With God
Price range: $3.99 through $22.99“The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend” (Exod. 33:11). In the book of Exodus, God provides instructions in the Ten Commandments, sacrifices, the building of the tabernacle, and many other topics. In these conversations, God is giving Moses direction. Moses had forty years in the wilderness speaking with God. Apart from the directives, what might these friendly conversations be? Perhaps they were of a nature similar to those questions and discussions we might have with a friend about our faith. In the years I’ve had reading the Bible and in communion with others, many friends have asked me questions and I’ve asked God many questions as well, such as, “If God were so loving, why does he allow so much suffering in the world?” or “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Rather than search scripture to seek answers, many dismiss the faith. Indeed, we are told that scripture holds the answers to many of our questions but there is no index in the Bible where we can look up our questions. Rather, it is in the study and knowledge of God gained from daily reading and meditation that we can truly find answers.
This book is intended to serve several purposes. The first is to illustrate that truly, the Bible is the source for answers to our questions and to show how it can be used. Secondly, many Christians have little knowledge of the Old Testament so taking the questions from the viewpoint of Moses exposes us to the life at that time but also illustrates the many rich traditions and meanings referenced in the New Testament. Third, Moses is a pillar of the faith and worthy of study on his own because he was a unique and blessed person.

Worship An Awesome Journey of Faith
Price range: $3.99 through $21.99Most Christians, when they think about worship, think of it in terms of a particular place with a group of people embodying music, public prayers and preaching. However, the Bible’s definition of worship is far broader. This book was written to assist the reader in understanding the biblical concept of worship and the applications this concept has on one’s daily walk. This study is based upon the Book of Leviticus which is the Jewish book of worship. In the process of this study we develop twelve principles of worship that must be applied in the believer’s life and are essential if he is to truly worship. The purpose of the book is to help the reader to discover that worship is, indeed, an awesome journey of faith.

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.
