A Great New Book: May 3rd – “The Day I Met Jesus”

HERE IS A PREVIEW of a great book that launches tomorrow!

The Day I Met Jesus is a look back into the past with a forward view into the present.

This book takes us “there” during the days and times of Jesus Christ when He walked, talked, and healed the despicable, desperate, down-in-out, untouchable and sinful. Mary DeMuth skillfully weaves the details found in five women’s stories, women who lived in biblical times, who experienced first-hand the healing touch of the Master Teacher through his infinite love, offer of grace, amazing restoration and full transformation.

We view each story by walking in the shoes of women with strikingly different stories. Each one pulls us into the storyline as we feel their emotion and understand their confusion and pain. Hope is found in the shape and form of Jesus Christ, Who, with His God-love, reaches them in the inner soul and connects through life-giving God-based union. In addition to their stories, Frank Viola provides the reader with further study and analysis to unlock the beauty found within these amazing encounters.

Each woman’s story is for the purpose of teaching us something we need to hear and that resonates with us in our world today. Culture may have changed, but the human heart has not. DeMuth and Viola take us to the point where one human connects with another human in a highly spiritual way. A book based on the gospel accounts.

THE SELF-PUBLISHER’S ULTIMATE RESOURCE GUIDE by Joel Friedlander, Betty Kelly Sargent (Marin Bookworks, 2014)

A BOOK FOR THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING NEWBIE. Good resources are worth their weight in gold. I am sure this one will become a familiar and much-used “map” to help the self-publisher find what direction they need to head and what the destination should look like when they get there. The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide will be the ticket to saving time and conserving energy, that is, the writer’s time and the writer’s energy! As soon as I received my copy, I began perusing through it chapter by chapter, noting subjects covered and looking for familiar names and brands that I have come to recognize in the self-publishing business. Some were there and some were not. From where I sit as an author with several more books in my near future, I believe this book is a great package as an aid in the process of getting “there,” where the self-publisher needs to “get-to.” I am hopeful that in future editions there will be additional notations included with some of the entries. It is slightly perplexing to be given lists without enough information to discern their full value. But lots of useful information here anyways. Kudos to a great idea with the potential to be highly beneficial to a hungry self-publishing family.
