A Highly Recommended Read - America At War 2024-2026


 We are supposed to know the “times and seasons.” To understand the prophetic times and seasons we are living in, we must be on God’s calendar. It will show that we are now entering a season of War and the Tribulation is just a few years away. It is time to repent!

Our calendar is based only on the sun. The Islamic calendar is based only on the moon. God’s calendar is based on both. If we don’t know the seasons, we will be plucking at planting time and planting at plucking time! Every generation God say’s will wage a war with Amalek. This generational war is NOW! The Heavens declare it! We need to recognize it!

As Far Is The East Is From The West 

What is the best hope for mankind, given the condition of the world we now live in? Actually, it is "forgiveness". There is no way that man has hope without God's forgiveness. This book focuses on the unfolding of God's intent to forgive man, regardless of his sins; if there is a change of heart, or simply a repentant state of mind. 

This book covers the lives of many individuals within the scriptures who experienced the forgiveness of God after great and shocking acts of evil. It shows us that there is still hope for us today. For the Lord has said unto us; "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD, Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool."( Isaiah 1:18,19).

Truly Memorable and Unforgettable

This book comes highly recommended for those that enjoy true-life war stories, happy endings, with God in the mix! I sincerely hope this book becomes a movie. For me, as one who reads many books, this one was truly memorable and unforgettable. 

Never Forsaken is a labor of love told by Cindy Scott, the daughter of Marion Ghent Jose Lau. Her mother’s memoir reaches back in time to the early 1900’s, through WWII, to present day. 

Cindy Scott spent two years gathering the several manuscripts her mother penned over fifteen years and combined them with taped interviews to fill in the gaps. The finished work fulfills her promise before her mother's death to see this book, Never Forsaken, published. 

Never Forsaken is a true-life testimony of survival and restoration after WWII, including the big move to America for a better life. I was hooked from the first chapter. Marion’s rendition of life back then, her father’s radical transformation, becoming born again after being a drinker and gambler, reeled me right in. With a tinge of humor in the section of Papa’s new life, this is a touching sentiment of how the Word of God broke through such a calloused heart. 

Readers will find Marion Ghent’s harrowing journey as a young girl in the Philippines an amazing adventure. Being the youngest of eleven living siblings and the daughter of a colporteur for the American Bible Society, surely this story is an inspiring read that relates God’s absolute faithfulness and how He works in the humblest of ways. The book also relays the efforts of the foot soldiers of the Gospel, and reveals the treasure of how the Gospel goes forth.   

The Ghent’s surviving the shock of war and the tragedies that followed, shed light on loss, but a strong, persevering faith that comes to fruition in finding a new life in America. Certainly, this may be a movie in the making. Exciting, touching, and a powerful story, amazing endurance unfolds during some of life’s pivotal moments, relating Marion’s tale of never being forsaken by God. 

Leading to a triumphant restoration with long lost family members after the scattering of the War years, the author takes readers from beginning to an end of an era long gone. One will be left in awe and find inspiration to all that Marion Ghent and her relatives had to go through during those humble years in the Philippines, escaping and hiding in the jungle for three years. In this miraculous book, history literally unfolds as the awful horrors of war in a foreign country. 

Cindy Scott has culminated history and the telling of Marion's story, and her life experience that also includes photos, maps, text and indexes explaining these far off and quite exotic places in the Philippines. What an amazing read! 

One will find that faith, courage, and overcoming do not come without struggles. Yet, God is ever faithful!

New Book Release - Beware of Wolves (They are Present Even in the Church) by J. Jai Brown will shock readers by giving a powerful Christian story-line that is compelling, seeming unbelievable, yet to only  discover truth as the core of the book, as the author writes of her nightmare personal testimony that she lived for twenty years dealing with such a “wolf”. Beware of wolves reveals those who are masquerading amongst the flock of God as sheep; yet are, as the Bible says, “ravenous wolves”. This book is written to warn and help readers to recognize tell-tale signs and behaviors of the “social predator” that lurks behind church walls and false facades.

Coupled with the use of Biblical principles, stages of development in children, this book teaches, educates and gives parents the arsenal they need to educate themselves and their families in either prevention or healing from traumatic child sexual abuse (CSA).

Giving the definitions of child sexual abuse (CSA) and the staggering statistics in our nation, coupled with the abuse worldwide – the abuse of children is unprecedented. 

Our day and age is raging with this sin against the most innocent of beings – children. Abuse comes in many forms and can be quite insidious, thus the author’s efforts focus on sexual abuse. She also gives insight into the psychiatric dynamics of a sexual predator or offender. Her book is well-rounded and an overview on the subject of CSA that gives knowledge, help and guidance as a manual for prevention and protection against such crimes.

As a comprehensive handbook, one can glean the contents and find out not only how to use her guide, but understand how to limit internet media and device pornography, recognize strategies of perpetrators, giving tips of what to do and what not to do – parents, caregivers and helpers can help recognize, prevent and protect children against childhood sexual abuse. This guide is an invaluable resource, offering also an overview of the main reasons for abuse (the psychology of abusers) to help readers spot unsafe behaviors, giving them a guidebook in tracking and preventing child sexual abuse.

With a section on educating your child on this subject, this book takes all the pieces of a giant puzzle, and even sheds light on the judicial system in relation to this issue. With different stages of age, such as birth to toddler, toddler to five, six to twelve, and twelve to eighteen, the author has broken down the different stages of growth, exposing the different levels of opportunity that sexual predators may use against a child at these ages, along with age appropriate environments and care providers.

This book comes as a highly recommended guide and handbook for parents and caregivers as well as for those dealing with such issues, pastors, police, counselors, child psychologists, medical staff, and the court system will find this information useful in teaching child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention and protection!

Our children are precious to us and in the sight of God. By educating ourselves as parents and our children together we cam make a huge diffence in our world. 

Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me – A Child’s Body Safety Guide by Reina Davison speaks to children, telling them they are “Overcomers.” 

This is a wonderful truth in God’s Word, as she begins the book by the definition of what an overcomer is. Opening children’s eyes to the truth of God’s purpose and plans for them, she goes on to describe God’s gift of free will. Describing Good Touch and Bad Touch; she elaborates on these two and what that can encompass. There are Good Touch people and Bad Touch people. Her book gives hope to children who have or have not experienced abuse by speaking the truth of God’s love and care for their body. She also teaches children how to prevent abuse by giving them the tools to know the difference between a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationships.

Writing from a Biblical perspective, yet incredibly gentle and simple, Reina Davison gives hope and guidance that exposes the darkness and sin of the enemy lurking in our lives. These people are unsafe and “No Touch” people as Reina explains. Her premise teaches children the principle of becoming “Overcomers” in Christ Jesus. This is a fantastic book that teaches wonderful and enlightening spiritual truths to children. (Note: This book just may encourage adults as well; teaching them that they are overcomers!) I personally enjoyed the uplifting truths to her book and thought…I wish I had a book such as this when I was a child. You will be delighted by this book as well.

As a guidebook, this book teaches parents, caregivers, family members, etc., to understand what safe behavior is in and out of the home. Her Body Safety guide in the back provides a checklist for adults to adhere to in protecting children. With beautiful illustrations, the author sheds light on walking in the truth of God’s Word, while giving them instruction of their enemy (the devil), the Bible, and Jesus, offering hope and encouragement to look to Jesus as their help and Savior. Her book shows that God has a good plan for them and cares for them. She shares that they are Overcomers and can defeat the enemy (the devil) and that because of Jesus, they too can choose to be of Good Cheer (be happy). 

This book comes highly recommended for all children who need to be taught encouraging truths about God’s Word, and especially is a tool to be used by parents, counselors, pastors, child psychologists, medical personnel, and lay persons to teach about healthy sexual boundaries.  

To tell you the truth, this is one of those books parents should utilize in teaching their children about bad people that sin and touch inappropriately. She has given a list of resources in the back of the book, and is an advocate of ending child sexual abuse. Written with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity to children’s pure intellects, this book does a wonderful job in tackling a difficult subject.

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.
