A Shepherd’s Story
The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story by A.I. Wexler based on a concept by Mark Cordona, is an exciting and unique look into the long-awaited birth of The Messiah and so much more! This book has been written to display the glory of The Son of God, The Father, and Christ’s sacrifice for humankind. His death on a cruel Roman cross displays His great love for all humanity and the arrival of The Holy Spirit completes the New Covenant. Readers will not be disappointed with the content and deep symbolism, giving honor and glory to the One Who died for all.
Eli, a shepherd from the tribe of Levi, witnesses the angelic announcement of the birth of The Savior in the sacred area of Bethlehem. After experiencing the awe-inspiring announcement, he is witness to the gifts and offerings when presented to the young Messiah. The treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the Magi emphasizes the value of the child and Eli is ever faithful to honor his lifelong commitment recording events in the life of The Savior for the regal visitors.
Recounting the human side of the amazing birth, the author reminds readers that God worked and works through humble individuals. The author has woven a fictional account of Eli telling the Biblical story of the Savior’s life, giving full credence to scriptural concepts and principles. This personal presentation of the incredible birth and life of Messiah brings the glory of Heaven and Yeshua (Jesus), the Jewish Messiah, into the forefront for all to read and enjoy.
Each step and phase of Eli’s life unfolds the revelation of the Messiah, the promised King of Israel with a keen sense of detail. The author has a way of storytelling that seems to work into the reader’s soul. Filled with vivid descriptions, adventure, scriptural truths, and romance, one will discover the secrets of a well-kept clay encased scroll unveiled by Eli. The extraordinary parchment reveals wonderful facets in this gem of a story.
The Magi’s Man comes highly recommended and will quickly become a family favorite. It is a masterfully told epic tale of the mystery of the ages as revealed through the Bible and this telling of The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story will entertain and inspire.
This should become a classic!

Highly Recommended - An Epic Novel
Author Robert H. Kono gives readers a true appreciation for family, love, patriotism, combined with dark overtones of racism prevalent during the WWII era, while also sharing Christianity in such a way that makes sense, giving equity a voice.
Westward Lies the Sun (A Novel) by Robert H. Kono is an epic novel blending historical fiction of the Japanese internment camps during WWII with the grandeur of love, romance, legacy, Samurai and Japanese heritage with the question of God and the reality of the spiritual realm.
The novel unfolds revealing Greg, his life and past, as the author captures each time period of his life well. Greg’s conversations with his friends and his own self-doubt being a Japanese American experiencing his own subculture being Japanese, which has caused Greg to question his own self-worth stemming from teenage years.
Feeling culturally divided coupled with the trauma he had to endure throughout his growing up years, he feels displaced culturally. “He felt as though he were a pioneer or explorer, out to hack his way through the wilderness of the identity question.” (p. 11) This is just an example of the writer’s way of conveying this mental tug-of-war within the main character, Greg.
From a Christian perspective, the novel speaks on Greg’s personal reflections upon God, His existence and why bad things happen upon the Earth without cramming the Christian religion down one’s throat. This is much appreciated as the author gives enough information and Scripture to just make readers “think for themselves.”
Greg, as a staunch humanist, spends time with his four friends at their poker games that reveal much conversation about God. The book reveals a dark past for Greg and his family, being of Japanese descent during WWII and the horror of the camps. Their only crime, being Japanese, Greg reveals the loss of a family heirloom, in which he goes searching for. The epic continues as Greg and his family survive a shipwreck on an island, which ends up giving them life amid their tragedy. This book is a movie in the making with a dreamy, mysterious, and memorable title!
With a beautiful ending, surprises and twists along the way, the book keeps the attention of readers. I was hooked from chapter one. The beautiful descriptions of the lake and the cultural tensions that the Japanese experienced during the time of WWII provide an interesting backdrop.

Christopher D. Stanley
Christopher D. Stanley, a New Testament scholar who specializes in the social and religious history of early Christianity, brings the world of Paul and the early church to life in his new historical fiction trilogy, “A Slave’s Story.” Read on to see how you can win a free Kindle copy of the first book in the series!
The first two books, A Rooster for Asklepios and A Bull for Pluto, follow the lives of two men at opposite ends of the social structure, a slave and an aristocrat, as they journey across first-century Asia Minor (modern Turkey) in a desperate quest for healing. The third book (not yet written) will take the main characters to Israel in the years leading up to the Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66-73 AD.
Religion—Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian—plays a vital role in the series as Stanley paints a realistic and historically accurate picture of the competition that the apostle Paul faced as he sought to spread the message about Jesus in a pagan culture. Along the way, he helps readers to see how odd Christianity appeared in a world where the worship of many gods was woven into every facet of life and the idea of a Jewish Messiah bringing salvation from sin and judgment was a foreign concept. Through this carefully crafted and engaging story, readers will gain a solid understanding of why some people accepted and the majority rejected what to them was an odd new religious cult.
Countless other aspects of life in the Roman world are vividly illustrated in this fascinating and well-researched series that is receiving five-star reviews on Amazon from both scholars and ordinary readers. The reviews, which include more information about the contents of the books and their relevance for early Christianity, can be viewed A Rooster for Asklepios: A Slave's Story, Book 1 and at A Bull For Pluto: A Slave's Story, Book 2.
Sound interesting? Be one of 100 lucky people who get to read it for free! The author is giving away 100 free copies of the Kindle version of A Rooster for Asklepios during the month of October through a Goodreads Giveaway. But you’ll have to act quickly since the contest ends on October 31.
To enter the Giveaway, go to Book Giveaway For A Rooster for Asklepios: A Slave's Story, Book 1. You must have an Amazon account (to receive the free copy) and a Goodreads account to enter. It's easy to sign up for a free Goodreads account.

There Is Hope To Be Found In Jesus Christ
In When Skies Aren’t Blue, comes highly recommended for those who are currently suffering with failing health (or other life storms), and are in need of hope and encouragement that is real and tangible. This is an amazing book borne out of the author’s own suffering that will surely bless others immensely!
Dr. Andy Laurie had a great life. He was living the American dream, happily married, four kids and two great careers. One as a board certified emergency room radiologist, and the other, as one of the pastors at The Bridge Christian Church.

With clear and an easy-to-understand Biblical teaching, coupled with prayers at the end of each step, he encourages readers to remain steadfast in hope, persevere, and hold onto their faith in a God - Who is near and real in times of trouble.
Further shedding light on evil and sickness in our world, the author speaks candidly to all that are battling with failing health. His book offers fundamentals that teach and reveal not only the characteristics of God and our Heavenly Father as a good Father, yet he also highlights Satan and the role he plays upon this fallen world. His book presents simple truths of the Bible by helping readers understand that God is not causing sickness and thus, helps readers gain a healthy perspective. Satan is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet, there is hope to be found! Jesus Christ is our anchor of hope in this life and eternally.
Dr. Laurie presents 10 powerful steps to victory. Each step is designed to point the reader to a God that is real and present, offering comfort, inspiration and scriptural insight bringing the absolute love and magnificence of God Almighty into the forefront. Dr. Andy Laurie states with unequivocal belief from the facts that God is real, He’s listening to you, and He cares for you. These 10 steps are powerful for life because they speak truth and give real help and hope for those in desperate need.

The Gospel You’ve Never Heard: An Understanding That Will Change Your Life

An Understanding That Will Change Your Life
By: Maurie Daigneau
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Rediscovering the Gospel describes Maurie Daigneau’s new book. He writes, “I did not write The Gospel You’ve Never Heard to intentionally repeat anything. I wrote it to clarify and to bring to light an understanding of the gospel that has been lost to the church and world for a very long time. It needs to be rediscovered. “…challenging, thought-provoking, and quite possibly deeply convicting” describe the author’s own sentiments about this book.
Readers will also find this book to be a powerful and transformational voice for the truth of the Gospel spoken from a compassionate and Biblical viewpoint. Different facets of what it is to understand and be obedient to Christ offers a deeper understanding of how and why the Gospel is fully relevant to one’s life, and not just in an eternal sense. Included at the end of each chapter are reflection questions for personal use and/or group Bible study.
Blending his own life experiences, the author goes to great lengths to bring great understanding of exactly “what” this “Good News” means to all aspects of life, as he found the truth of relying on God as the “only Teacher.” With that, he dispels confusion and misconceptions, as he offers the overall “bigger picture” to bring clarity in a world that seems bent on violence, disobedience to God, and destruction. In short, he relays a message to all that is the basis of Proverbs 4:7: "The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding."
His purpose in writing the book is over his concern of the Biblical and spiritual decline that America finds itself. The author mentions the hypocrisy, coupled with the lack of preaching and understanding of the truth of the Gospel, that has led this country to a place that is far from obedience to Christ – even for those who call themselves Christians.
He also differentiates the Law, dying from the old-self (unregenerate and separated from God) to the Regenerate (Spirit-filled, set apart, new life in Christ), as the inner man that is set free from the captivity of sin. Christ’s sacrifice is wonderfully and easily explained through Scripture and apostle Paul’s teachings in Romans and Hebrews.
This book is a vital must-read to all those who desire truth.
Maurie Daigneau expresses that living in the “Light” of God’s Kingdom and wisdom is to obey Christ’s commands. Phenomenal and written for “such a time as this” he calls all into a journey of rediscovering the true Gospel that will dramatically impact our daily lives, our family, our cities, nations, and the globe. Without pointing a finger, he speaks with great conviction, offering answers to some of life’s deepest questions while presenting truths of Scripture.
A highly recommended and impactful life-changing read! You may get your copy of The Gospel You’ve Never Heard: An Understanding That Will Change Your Life at Amazon and Kindle.

Press Release - Confessions of a Greedy Giver: Radical Giving for Radical Results
A CBM Christian Author Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winchester, Virginia–––Eric G. Burstock, CPA, PFS releases: Confessions of a Greedy Giver: Radical Giving for Radical Results (Critical Mass Books, May 2021) – Biblical wisdom and keen insight about how to become a radical giver who receives radical results.
Money and Giving are the main subjects of the book, but not its sole premise. The point is to inspire Christians to live more active faith-driven lives, giving themselves fully to the Lord’s purposes.
How? The answers could be many, yet they all boil down to one––put the Lord first and give to Him to further the Gospel. That, of course, means giving money––but that’s not all.
Burstock insists that, “Life is not about money.” But if we give our all to the Lord and His Kingdom, there can be a great harvest in our life. Whether rich, poor, or in-between, putting the Lord first in giving means you are doing His will.
Eric G. Burstock is a money man, often called the “go-to-guy” when dealing with finances. He has made a career out of advising people how to give, save, invest, and spend. As a CPA and PFS (Personalized Financial Specialist), he describes the reasons to give, along with insightful advice, personal testimonies, and with the clear scriptural foundation. His life becomes an open book, as he confesses his mistakes and greed; the reader, will be warned––and blessed. Eric converted to Christianity from Judaism in 1980, and he knows that honoring the Lord as first in your life should be a chief aim in life.
Eric G. Burstock describes the greedy giver and the beauty of sacrificial giving (and it’s not always about money). Money is important, but it is not the measure of a person's worth. In the final analysis, only the Lord can multiply what is in your hands.
Don’t Let Your Time, Talent And Money Go To Waste!
You may order your copy of Confessions of a Greedy Giver: Radical Giving for Radical Results at Amazon or in Kindle as a download. You may contact Eric G. Burstock by email at egb1955 (at) yahoo (dot )com
