When I first starting writing this Book, I was told by a Sister-in-Christ who is a retired teacher and now counsels others, as well as, a book author herself, who wrote a bible study book on prayer called "My Soul Thirsts For God." She told me that she had her non-fiction Book published to help others grow in their relationship with Jesus. In 1998-2011 I meet a wonderful, engaging, women who had a deep personal relationship with Jesus. I call her my imaginary friend, because in all the years I knew her, we never spoke to each other face to face. Only by using the telephone, and our spiritual connections were transforming, and life changing. Her voice was deep and her wisdom was in abundance. She, my mentor told me through our conversations that the Lord wanted me to write a book for many to read. That I am suppose to tell how to come out of darkness, the place of bondage, to a triumphant life with Jesus Christ. In order to do this, I had to quote a lot of scripture passages and become vulnerable to my reading audience. I tackled very tough subjects in this first book in a series, starting with being born again, building a foundation of truth, getting focused, confession, forgiveness, dying to self, and lastly, how God's Love is not the same as human love. I also looked at racism, prejudice, covetousness and lasciviousness in light of the conversations I had with my imaginary mentor and confidant. I looked deeper into confession and forgiveness, because I was told that many today just do not know how to repent, confess their sins, and receive forgiveness, in order to have, peace and reconciliation in an already broken relationship. People do not want to heal their fragile marriages anymore, and they turn away from their faith, to do what gratifies their flesh, with no regard for any personal consequences that will arise and destroy their lives. It is my sincere desire to help those who need to make a change in their lives, who are stuck in self-centeredness, and who live for themselves, instead, of our Loving Creator, and His Son Jesus Christ. I have included a short prayer of repentance in my book for those who want to ask Jesus into their hearts and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. I have been very open, and bold in my style of writing, and said what I believe is the truth of God's Word by sitting at Jesus Feet. I give God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit all the Glory and Honor that is due to their names I look forward to meeting some of you in person and pray that the words I have shared in this book with encourage, strengthen, and minister grace to the hearers and bring Peace in the midst of many storms.

His father wants him to carry on the family tradition and apprentice as a tailor. When Lars is sent by ship to Stockholm from his small hometown in Sweden to begin his apprenticeship, instead of checking in as a passenger, he signs on as a cabin boy.

In his adventures as a sailor, which begin in 1877, Lars finds friendship as he journeys around the world. Fighting off storms and pirates, the sailors commiserate on lost loves and lost opportunities. Larsson's Legend is the stunning portrayal of a man in conflict. How can Lars hate his own father? "Why did his heart feel as though it was bleeding; as though it was filled with broken glass?" "The author is an artist with paint and brush, and it seems that her God-given talents apply also to words that paint pictures with such skill and clarity that I was totally absorbed in the story. What an adventure!Everyone has heard the cliche comments: Amazing book! Begs to be read! Couldn't put it down! Well, this book certainly deserves such descriptions. I really enjoyed it." - Janette Bannerman B.A.V.A. Dip. Ed. About the Author: Retired school teacher V.J. Amor lives on a farm in Dundurrabin, New South Wales.

Communicating Science and Managing the Coronavirus Pandemic

After listening to an abundance of misinformation about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, Dr. Marchesani decided to write this book. Statements such as, "We all know," followed by incorrect or misleading information is frustrating. The statement implies that the information to follow is known and accepted by everyone except the person hearing the information for the first time, and that person needs to get on board if they want to be accepted. As addressed in the book, science has the answers and needs to present the answers in a strong and effective manner. No response on the part of science is read by many that the misinformation is correct when it is not correct, or the misinformation is of equal to science when nothing can be further from the truth. Information from science must undergo rigorous peer review prior to a statement being issued, while misinformation has no basis or documentation and should be discarded. The book also addresses the nine stages of managing a pandemic--from the incident that led to the pandemic determination through remediation, recovery, and closure. The book also addresses the process of developing a pandemic scenario and a scripted pandemic exercise. The book also introduces a template for a pandemic management plan, a standby statement, and much more. This book may be the perfect guide to addressing COVID-19 misinformation and pandemic management.
