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!

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.

Word Wars - A Gentle Answer

We all encounter them. Those times when words become like weapons cast against us. It is amazing how a conversation or disagreement can start out in one tone fueled by one action and can slowly take on a whole new form that becomes hostile, fueled by anger and end up, a war of words. 

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,  but a harsh word stirs up anger.  2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,  but the mouth of the fool spouts folly.  3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place,  observing the evil and the good.  4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life,  but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.  5 A fool rejects his father’s discipline,  but whoever heeds correction is prudent.  6 The house of the righteous has great treasure,  but the income of the wicked is trouble.  7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,  but not so the hearts of fools.  8 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD,  but the prayer of the upright is His delight.  9 The LORD detests the way of the wicked,  but He loves those who pursue righteousness.  10 Discipline is harsh for him who leaves the path;  he who hates correction will die.  11 Sheol and Abaddona lie open before the LORD—  how much more the hearts of men!  12 A mocker does not love to be reproved,  nor will he consult the wise.  13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance,  but sorrow of the heart crushes the spirit.  14 A discerning heart seeks knowledge,  but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.  15 All the days of the oppressed are bad,  but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.  16 Better a little with the fear of the LORD  than great treasure with turmoil.  17 Better a dish of vegetables where there is love  than a fattened ox with hatred.  18 A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,  but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.  19 The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns,  but the path of the upright is a highway.  20 A wise son brings joy to his father,  but a foolish man despises his mother.  21 Folly is joy to one who lacks judgment,  but a man of understanding walks a straight path.  22 Plans fail for lack of counsel,  but with many advisers they succeed.  23 A man takes joy in a fitting reply,  and how good is a timely word!  24 The path of life leads upward for the wise,  that he may avoid going down to Sheol.  25 The LORD tears down the house of the proud,  but He protects the boundaries of the widow.  26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked,  but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him.  27 He who is greedy for unjust gain brings trouble on his household,  but he who hates bribes will live.  28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,  but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil.  29 The LORD is far from the wicked,  but He hears the prayer of the righteous.  30 The light of the eyes cheers the heart,  and good news nourishes the bones.  31 He who listens to life-giving reproof  will dwell among the wise.  32 He who ignores discipline despises himself,  but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.  33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom,  and humility comes before honor.

He Presided Over A Religious Empire

By the summer of 1926, he presided over a religious empire, one that included America’s largest Protestant church, a tabloid newspaper that reached nearly 100,000 readers every Friday, and his own radio network that saturated cities and towns across the American Southwest. Norris had already survived multiple criminal indictments. He boasted that he could handle anything that came his way. He had fanatically loyal followers (including members of the Ku Klux Klan) and great lawyers. But would they be enough when he found himself charged with first-degree murder and face to face with “Sparky”—the nickname for the Texas electric chair?

The Father Loves The Children

But thus says the Lord: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.”  Isaiah 49:25 

Many parents are having difficulties with their children, and feel there is nothing they can do to cause them to turn around. Some have tried to lead them to the Lord, but have found the division between each has increased.  

The above verse gives you a promise from God, who wants to fulfill it in the lives of your children. Go to the Lord for wisdom and guidance, asking Him what part He wants you to play. As you depend upon Him, instead of your own strength, a change will take place in your children. 

He is not wanting any of your children to be lost, so keep on praying for them, expecting God to honor His Word. Don’t become discouraged if you don’t see immediate answers to your prayers.

Marriage Language - The Hidden Puzzle

Is there a hidden puzzle to many of life's questions? What would that puzzle look like and how would all the pieces fit into place and even greater, what would the final picture look like?

On the subject of marriage, The Hidden Puzzle in Marriage: The Twist Against Choice by Samuel Adjeipong unlocks secrets from a Biblical perspective to reveal the purpose, creation and institution of marriage. 

The author has written a detailed book that gives married couples and single individuals leading and instruction on God’s grand design. The author ties the marriage institution to the first marriage of Adam and Eve in the Garden. Shedding light on why some marriages are strong, and why some fail, readers will appreciate this book as it gives the pathway to a bright and hopeful future with God, His grand design for your life and the institution of marriage.

Digging deeper into the meaning of this creation of woman, the author also asks intricate questions in the book such as: “Can it be possible that God Almighty had the forethought of our satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment in marriage when He initiated it in the Garden of Eden?” “And also what are His thoughts of intimacy in marriage?” “Can intimacy be nurtured?” “Should the choice of a spouse be my own or God’s” With these thoughts in mind, the author then considers the “puzzle” of marriage and how the pieces fit together between a man and a woman from a multi-dimensional view.

Excerpts from the Bible examine the lives of Abraham and Sarah, Rebekah and Eliezer, Ruth and Boaz, Jacob, and others to give further insight into the will of God and choices made from a Biblical perspective, providing insights into keys for success of marriage – unveiling heart attitudes and motives. Additionally addressing issues that singles and married couples face, the understanding of intimacy, and what makes a marriage thrive makes for an enthusiastic read designed to assist singles to be placed with their right mate and help couples connect, reconcile, and come together through prayer as one. 

A CBM Book Review - 10.0 out of 10.0 stars This is a highly recommended and insightful must-read for those considering marriage that includes young adults, singles, and couples. Get your copy of The Hidden Puzzle in Marriage: The Twist Against Choice at Amazon or as a download in Kindle. 

The Power of Pleasing Words

Job 22:28 You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.  Electricity is unbiased, and does not care what type of demand is put on it. A fan will never act like a radio, nor will electricity make a radio act like a fan. Electricity will always work according to the demand that is made on it. 

The power of God operates the same way. It is controlled by your words connected with divine faith, which releases His power. When you say you can’t do something, you are allowing the power of God to work through your words, to stop the thing from being accomplished. When you say you will be able to do something, because God is going to help you, you allow the power of God to accom­plish it. 

God’s faith in you can be overridden by the words of your mouth. Don’t use words that will hinder God from supplying your need, instead ask Him to help you use words that are pleasing to Him, which will enable Him to honor the Scriptures you are depending on.

Presenting A Wealth of Knowledge

A highly recommended must-read for all parents, married couples raising children, teens, young adults and newly married couples. 

In his new release Soul Doubt by Leo J. Battenhausen, as an author and psychotherapist, discusses the overwhelming and detrimental impact that depression and suicide are having upon society in the United States. 

Stating  alarming statistics from the World Health Organization (2016) that suicide and depression are presently at an “epidemic high”. The author also adds that the organization’s prediction is that by 2020 depression will be the most diagnosed disease after heart disease. 

Facts, coupled with society’s views and attempts to “cure” depression with various treatments and drugs, bolster our culture that expresses itself as its own God. Selfishness, greed, media, government, and liberalism’s mantra have taken away from family and marriages like we have never seen before in the United States. 

Keeping this in mind, the author makes an impressive statement – People need God and need to believe in God. With a focus on giving solutions to depression and suicide, intertwined with keen insight, he offers this book to help others recognize and be free in their souls from destructive thoughts and behaviors that are literally killing many.

Providing n overview of healthy parenting and relationships that include marriages, the author explores the human condition and the soul. Offering a laymen’s view of the soul, he explains the doubts we possess in relation to satisfying the deep void within. Despite technical advances in this information age, the author shares that we as humans are not developing as we should and have forgotten who we are. 

Advocating that parents invest in their children in meaningful ways, to include their parenting skills, he also exposes a spiritual side to the issue of the mind, soul and emotions. Offering readers an understanding of the realm of the soul, a secular worldview is also considered. His position is that we cannot ignore our souls, which is the essence of who we are.

Revealing what really wages war against our souls, will and emotions, the author has written a compassionate book that speaks frankly to believers and non-believers alike, sharing that there is hope and a solution to this soul problem. Well-balanced, informative, encouraging, his insight is an important work tackling the woes that plague our society, but more importantly offers real answers and hope that presents truth. The truth that God is real, and that we all need God, is something that the author will not compromise. Stating in his book description, “Soul Doubt breaks through with solution-focused answers and PROVEN ways to battle depression and suicide.”

This is a much-needed book release for today’s society. As a skilled professional, he knows the human condition and speaks of the healing of the soul, mind and spirit. Presenting a wealth of knowledge, the spiritual battle, modern-psychology, the author offers real answers to those who are suffering or know someone who is suffering.

Good Intentions Prevented By Circumstances

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.   

Over the years all of us have been promised things that never took place. Politicians, attorneys, doctors, as well as many other professionals have made promises that they could not back up. 

Many times these people had good intentions, but circumstances prevented them from fulfilling the promise. God is not only able to fulfill the promises He makes, but also tells you He will fulfill them. 

The Bible is full of His promises, He wants you to depend on them, and apply them to the situations you are in. Look for ones that will overcome the problems your are in today. Next, ask Him what His will is for you, because sometimes the timing is not right. Always expect Him to honor His promises in your life.

Spoken Words That Have Creative Power

Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

                   

The spirit world is controlled by the power of God that is released through the Word of God. The natural world is to be controlled by man through the power of God, and is done by quoting God’s promises in the Bible. 

These spoken words become creative power, because God’s power is already at work in you. In Proverbs 6:2 Solomon tells you that you become trapped by the words of your mouth. 

Your words become tools to allow the power of God to flow through you which will work for or against you, depending on what you say. Negative words which contradict the promises of God, cause His power to produce the things you don’t want in your life. Guard your words so that you say what you want, instead of what you don’t want.

Listening With An Open Ear

Mark 4:24 And He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

    

Luke 8:18 Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.   

Many people fill their minds with trivial things or allow distractions to keep God’s good seed from being planted in their spirits. You are told to watch what you hear, as well as to watch how you hear. 

The people who are not paying attention to this, will find their faith becoming ineffective. The more you pay attention to the teachings of God, the more He allows you to receive. Paying less attention to His promises, causes faith in His promises to diminish. 

A Russian Citizen and A Jew

If you love a good book, The Destination is for you. Oxana Eliahu shares her incredible autobiography in her book, The Destination. With dreams of making it to America to find wealth and success, her story is captivating. A CBM Book Review 10.0 out of 10.0 Stars

Oxana was born in Leningrad, Russia (now Saint Petersburg), Oxana was a Russian born Jew. Confused about her identity as a Jew, Oxana at one time became a devout Communist, which was the expected norm within Russia. Growing up in a Communist country, as the reader will experience, was not a walk in the park. 

Some days they had to wait in long lines for hours just to get a few bananas, some berries and some decent clothes. In regards to the subject of religion, Oxana was brought up in a secular atmosphere where there was no talk of God in her household. Believing in evolution, her opinion was that people who trusted in God were primitive. Her only exposure to God was through old books and pictures she saw in museums. God in His sovereignty reveals His unending love for Oxana and that becomes an unforgettable journey of redemption to her God-given destiny.

Then in the 80’s Jews were beginning to be released from Russia. She found herself in Italy as a refugee, seeking a country, but no country would have her. Russia considered her a traitor and Italy would not allow her to work or gain citizenship. Her Visa to America was denied and she found herself hopelessly lost with not enough money to survive. Her story is incredible, filled with anticipation, as she describes her experiences, the persecution, her resolve through the doubt and the heartbreak to The Destination, and how she was once a Russian citizen, a Jew, now without a country or place to call “home.”

Throughout her powerful testimony, the miracles of God become evident, as she discovers Yeshua (Jesus) and begins to find faith through Him. Her story does not end there. God led Oxana to Canada, and then to Israel, and finally to America where she now shares her faith that represents a loving God to readers as He guided her into her purpose as a worship singer and songwriter.

Oxana's  book,  The Destination comes highly recommended as one of those rare gems that allows readers to look into the lens of history’s past that encompass the great plans of the Almighty weaved in a tapestry of true-life overcoming, that just makes you want to shout for joy!  Oxana’s narrative of her story will overwhelm you and encourage you with the presentation of the goodness of God. As you will see, Oxana’s story is a triumphant one!

The Disciples of the Blood of the Lamb

There is no doubt that words can be very hurtful. Yet that only touches on the things that a young girl can encounter and endure. It Was Not My Fault! All the Glory to God by Rachel Lee White is a faith-filled and unique book of prayers bringing to light her own experiences that relays the message to readers in that we over come by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.

Rachel offers hope to others that as the author notes from Creflo Dollar as famously spoke, “Your past does not determine your future.”

Readers will find this book an inspiration as to how to know and draw near to our Father in Heaven through the connection of prayer. 

Three short chapters cover: Early Childhood, Young Adulthood, and Middle Adulthood to Present Day that are designed to relate to God. Born out of much grief, her story is heartbreaking as she was orphaned at the age of 10 by violence that penetrated her home through her father who wounded her mother, which led to her death and his eventual suicide. Raised by her grandmother, the chronic grief opened unwanted “drama” in the author’s life. Finding herself with 2 babies and homeless by the age of 18, she was persuaded by Child Services to give her children to Foster Care, and soon followed their adoption.

Fostering the truth of God’s Word, this book comes highly recommended as an inspirational tool to young adults (especially young teenage girls) that need to understand that nothing is their fault (as the title denotes) and that God is able to complete the work He has begun. This is an amazing short prayer testimonial filled with Scriptural and foundational truths that renew the mind that will catapult readers towards thankfulness and the amazing love and grace of God.

The Disciples of the Blood of the Lamb 

Divine Strength

God never intended for you to fight the satanic attacks in your own strength. He expected you to use the same weapons that Jesus used when He was tempted. Use the Word of God with the same perseverance that Jesus did, and see the same victories in your own life. 

Jesus was tempted in every area of life and was always victorious. God is not planning for you to fail. Failure will only come when you come against temptations in your own strength. Divine strength for you is based on the promises of God. You are able to apply this wonderful divine strength as you use the Word of God against temptations or situations. How victorious do you want to be today? The greater the victories you want to see, the more you must apply the promises of God against the problems. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
