A Highly Recommended End Time Fiction Novel

A CBM Christian Book Review - 10.0 out of 10.0 stars ... Threats to national security and foreign forces that line up set the tone for this fast-paced thrill ride into, The Chosen, the sequel to The Sword of Solomon by Nick Gasaway.

Sarah (an electronic intelligence monitoring system created by Solomon), bring exhilaration as a phantom chess game ensues with big losses and high stakes for Solomon. 

In beginning chapters, an unfolding scenario is planned against Big Satan (the U.S.) that is hated by foreign entities. The U.S. now has become a target.  Readers will enjoy this Christian fiction novel that focuses on an exciting adventure into the End Times,  as technology increases, as nations strive against each other, and demonic forces are battled.  

An epic adventures ensues as the ones highlighted are the 144,000, Israel and the two prophets…this is an exciting read! Multi-faceted events happen one-by-one that culminate in the Chosen who are to gather the lost until Christ returns.

Again, the author includes memorable witty quotes and scripture verses that make for a great way to begin each chapter. Each offers a foreshadowing of the chapter’s intent.  Chosen are 5 individuals; these 5 are sent to gather the lost before the coming of Christ’s return.  

Guardians are in place for these leaders, offering complete protection, and the Chosen brings a riveting second book that continues the story asking some relevant and pertinent questions. These questions lead to the ultimate question posed in this book, “If you were chosen by God to do a specific task, how would you respond?”

Relating that we don’t know the day or the hour of Christ’s return, his book is an exciting plausible journey into future scenarios relating parallels to the Bible that offer amazing relevance. The book also instigates readiness and a willingness to do the Lord’s will.  Inspiring and entertaining, this is another “hold onto your seat” action adventure from the author who creates an amazing cast of characters.

Threats of EMP’s (electric magnetic pulses), pre-emptive nuclear strikes, Russia’s communism, China’s military man power of 2 million, North Korea’s rebellion and swirls of Arab influences, the plausible modern-day parallels create an intriguing look at the world’s platform and the axis of evils that arise and increase, yet righteousness fights back!  

The Chosen relates God’s End Time victors who carry His sword and the Star of David until the end. This is an uplifting and inspiring novel, encouraging all to be loyal, steadfast and to never give up.

These series created by the author are highly recommended for the next genre of End Time fiction novels that readers should not pass up.

This s a must-read after The Sword of Solomon and is a uniquely memorable insight to today’s events, offering hope to “be ready” in the battles to come.

An Intriguing Memoir Peering into the depths of a Woman’s Sou

A Highly Recommended Must Read - Matzah Balls to Communion Wafers is an excellent and intriguing memoir peering into the depths of a woman’s soul torn by worldly and religious culture, family heritage, and anti-semitism, thus revealing a steady quest for knowledge and truth in the light of the love of God. ~ CBM Christian Book Reviews

Christian Author Gail Baker pens a delightful and life-enriching memoir. Filled with memorable familial insights and battles, Gail Baker relates her common Jewish family, bridging the gap between tradition and faith as a Jewish woman. 

Raised as a Jewish girl amongst many Christians, Gail Baker grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. Blending a tenacious personality, humor, and candor, her intelligence and analytical abilities shine throughout the book. 

A timeline of poignant moments from childhood to adulthood defined and shaped her family, her life and some of her outcomes. Lovingly speaking of her family roots and history, her story unfolds as a young girl coming of age. Insights and highlights shed light into the beliefs of her Jewish family, the era they lived in and Jewish resolve and unity from her family’s effortless support of humanitarian efforts, to include the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1967.

I found myself not able to put down her memoir. As I read of the turbulent 60’s during her days in college, she reflects back on her upbringing that relates dysfunction on many levels. Despite, Judaism (which played a nominal role in Gail’s young life), she describes a young girl cloistered by the knowledge of anti-semitism and shallow Christianity. This led to a voracious pursuit of philosophical and theological dictum that bring about understanding of the ideals she has come to know. She shares these perspectives, quotes, scripture verses and insight that gives her book texture and depth. She relates a deep spiritual journey that led to a splendid concession of simply coming to the only One that could bring peace to her soul, Jesus Christ. 

With such harmony, she summarizes misconceptions, anxiety, fear, faith and the issues with raising a child that came into difficulty. She also fervently describes her loving pursuit in helping her son, in which her mother’s heart is revealed in such a tender way.

What readers will find is that woven within the tapestry of her book springs forth a deep spiritual conviction to find Truth. This book will move readers deep within their soul, build faith and inspire admiration for God’s chosen people. Her sculpted memoir relates grace and intensity simultaneously. Her story culminates in a wonderful and beautiful love story from a “not-so Kosher Jewish girl that fell in love with Jesus.” This is an incredibly touching memoir that all will not want to miss!

Matzah Balls to Communion Wafers comes as a highly recommended read for all Christians and Jewish individuals, especially to those that perhaps may be grappling with faith, tradition and religion. Purely enjoyable! 

Thank you Gail for sharing your life with us! You may get your copy of Matzah Balls to Communion Wafers at Amazon or at Barnes and Noble.

Strange Visitations, Mysterious Legends

New Book Release ... Sword of the Spirit by Mark Norris  - To most in the Realm of Drugolin, otherly spirit lore lingered as mysterious legends best suited for late night hearths. 

On rare occasions one might hear of strange visitations. Some of huge, radiant beings bearing aid and guidance. Others of dark, evil creatures summoning dread and death. All were a part of Drugolish legend, but few took them seriously.

The westland village of Noy couldn’t afford the apathy of its unenlightened, middleland neighbors. Its enclosing fortress walls stood as a monument to the frightening visitations it experienced, day and night.

When the town’s most celebrated otherly adventurer receives a prophetic lamp, he teams with one final group on a faith empowering mission into the dread regions of evil that could usher in an eternal age where mortals are like angels and God reigns supreme.

Yahwin (God), Krystos (Jesus), Sahron (Satan), a host of otherly foes, warrior angels, and warrior prophets endued with extraordinary power all inhabit this peculiar realm in which author Mark Norris tells an eschatological tale that wars for the Millennium’s victor’s rights.

What would you do if an angel materialized in your bedroom tonight, handed you a prophetic lampstand that projected the events of Satan’s rebellion, and invited you to brave the powers of hell?  ................. The otherly is waiting,…will you go?

What others say about Sword of the Spirit:

In Sword of the Spirit, Mark takes us on an intense and imaginative quest that parallels our own lives. A great piece of work that captivates the reader while increasing our ability to remain free from the schemes of darkness. I love  it. It is lush in imagery.“ ~ Gary Crawford

This book really made me think. It delves into spiritual warfare, and considers some of the ways God could anoint believers who resist the enemy in the last days. This book challenged me to believe God for some things I had never considered before. But, it is also a good story. It has plenty of action and I found it hard to put down. I recommend it!” ~ Tom Miller

God, I am Hurting! Where Are You God?

Using the story of Joseph captured in the book of Genesis as a backdrop to come alongside trauma survivors, giving hope and instruction that will usher in a progressive approach to inner healing, this is a must read book. With a chapter-by-chapter approach giving readers a glimpse of Joseph’s ancestral traits and sins, while providing an understanding of familial dysfunction, abuse, generational bloodline transfers and so much more, to bring Biblical and practical inner healing from past traumas. 

The author teaches Biblical principles that intertwine with Joseph’s story to help readers understand their past in order to move forward in their present.  This book also has the potential to bring much healing of the mind, soul and spirit with a look at Joseph who is much like us today.

The story of Joseph is one of family dysfunction and victory (in the end of course); but not before unimaginable trauma, separation, betrayal, loss and heartache took place.  Readers will embark on a journey through progressive chapters such as: Home, Your Launchpad for Self-Destruction, Caution! You Have Hidden Baggage, Is Your Past Your Present? Are You Programmed to Self-Destruct? God, I am Hurting! Where Are You God? What is God’s Responsibility in Human Suffering? and more.

His book reveals a flurry of wrong choices beginning from Rebekah (Jacob’s mother) to a wide range of emotions, mindsets and self-destructive thoughts and ways that keep us from God.  Encouraging all to look up to God, the author speaks from a psychological standpoint as one who was well-acquainted with failure and certainly understands feelings of hopelessness, despair, and not measuring up. Yet, he adamantly states God is the only One who can meet us in our darkest nights and pit experiences to see us through. God’s compassion, love, and instruction is revealed through the life of Joseph, similarly we can expect the same.  Insight into the human psyche gives us a front-row seat and the author challenges readers to thought-provoking issues that will bring enlightenment, healing and the grace of God upon one’s life.  

God, I’m Angry at You! Where were you God when I was Hurting? further sheds light in the statement and thought of, where were you God when I needed you the most?  His book provides answers to human suffering and offers hope through that pervasive question prevalent in the story of Joseph and in our own lives.

This book comes highly recommended due to the author’s vast experience with trauma victims, his trauma counsel experience, as well as a being a pastor and minister for many years, including work in the social services serving children and families. A CBM Christian Book Review 10.0 stars.
