Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her 1996 Essentials Collection, Dionne Warwick asks, “What’s it all about, Alfie?” Indeed, that is a key question. It’s the cry of a lost soul wondering how life, after chasing excesses that leave his soul in shambles, could have any meaning at all. More than just the title of a song written and made famous almost 60 years ago, the lyrics ask relevant questions haunting the hearts of the lost and searching among us still today. Perspectives From the Choir Loft is a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious devotional book that isn’t afraid to ask why. Why do Christians act the way they do? Why is the Bible still relevant today? And, why are moose never mentioned in the Bible? Relevant questions all. John Lennox, a Christian apologist, recently observed that the Church often does not do well with bringing people to Christ because it does not adequately answer their questions. Perspectives From the Choir Loft is a book designed to encourage thinking about and responding to pertinent questions in a way that breaks away from the usual tried and true approach. So, if you’re willing to spend a few moments thinking about new ways to respond to questions you thought you knew the answers to, then maybe you should consider gaining some new Perspectives From the Choir Loft! thechoirloft.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debra Monroe has always written about the source of trouble, “that one incident you zero down to and everything bad that happens afterward happens because of it.” The illusion that every problem has a clear-cut cause and discernible solution is apparently her gateway drug. It Takes a Worried Woman explores the outer limits of her faith that all past hardship could have been prevented and all future hardship might still be. Yet one person’s trouble is often a small eddy in the outflow of history, and this book becomes a meditation on the price of effort exerted against fixed circumstances. Dense with history, lyrical, at times darkly funny, these essays explore sexism, racism, hate speech, violence, Monroe’s grief about dwindling access to the natural world, and her fears as her daughter’s adult life unfolds. Whether depicting the ubiquitous pressure to marry, the search for a shape-shifting familiar old enough to be her mother, or childcare as a game of risk, Monroe takes a measured look at problems that could be solved, problems that may never be, and at all the ways that trouble is big but hope, new strategies, fresh patience, and endurance are eventually big enough.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ed Tuten, 40 years old, and his wife Jane with 2 small children, Denise and Howard, are living happily, carefree and enjoying life. Suddenly God stops Ed in his tracks and over a period of a few weeks completely changes his purpose and direction in life by instructing him to build a Christian FM Radio Station. He knows absolutely nothing about radio, has no reserve monies and his wife doesn't work a job outside the home. He soon finds himself jobless and penniless, with four mouths to feed, a mortgage and bills to pay and self-esteems sliding to the bottom of the pit. This story is about how God, in teaching them who to trust, provided monies and means as well as tearing down pride while all the time showing them how to exercise and strenghten the measure of faith He had given them. It is the true hand of God guiding and leading them through many trials and tests. At any point in time, quitting would have been a blessing, but knowing deep in his Spirit that God Almighty Himself was behind what seemed to be madness and a sure pattern to destructions, he continued to push ahead and God honored the deep seated faith placed in him at the time the Rhema came forth from the Father - "Build Me A Christian FM Radio Station."

Book excerpt: In a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws readers into eighteenth-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols—and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not. Praise for Anne Rice and Cry to Heaven “Daring and imaginative . . . [Anne] Rice seems like nothing less than a magician: It is a pure and uncanny talent that can give a voice to monsters and angels both.”—The New York Times Book Review “To read Anne Rice is to become giddy as if spinnning through the mind of time.”—San Francisco Chronicle “If you surrender and go with her . . . you have surrendered to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream.”—The Boston Globe “Rice is eerily good at making the impossible seem self-evident.”—Time

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for anyone who has ever given serious thought to questioning the extraordinary claims of the Christian faith. For those who have harboured suspicions about the idea of a loving protector god; or the idea that an eternal paradise awaits us after death; or that there is a divine purpose to our lives this book will be a thought provoking read. The author was once a devout believer in the tenets of the Christian faith. He is now a contented atheist. An Atheist in the Choir Loft puts forward an honest account of what one firm believer discovered when he allowed himself to step back, separate his religious convictions from his identity, and objectively scrutinize the beliefs he had held for most of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the making for more than fifty years, Whisper of Hope, Cry of Despair, by author Vicky Bedi, chronicles how, throughout her lifetime, she has been molded by the life experiences of both her mother and father. This story is important because it tells about Slavic immigrants coming to the New World during the first decade of the twentieth century, offering details about how they lived and the adversities they faced. It discusses the murder of Bedi’s paternal grandfather in 1917 and the resulting shame, guilt, and loss of family for her father and his brother. It shares the suicide of her maternal grandfather, who couldn’t bear the loss of the Czar’s Russia and who couldn’t face the shame and guilt of familial incest. Finally, it tells of the intergenerational effects of child abuse, such as further child abuse and spouse abuse. In Whisper of Hope, Cry of Despair, Bedi narrates her story to help other victims of family situations accept parents and family without judgment and to record the empathy and peace she’s found.

This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walk with me on a journey. A journey that spans the Viet Nam, Korean, and Cold Wars. A journey that experienced Elvis, the Beatles, man walking on the moon, and the opening of McDonald’s and Walmart. I saw the invention of diet soft drinks, bubble wrap, video games, cell phones, PCs, and most importantly, the smiley face. My journey encompasses a modest childhood, awkward teen years, and a diverse adulthood with peaks and valleys. Shooting BB guns and bows & arrows…at my cousin. Stealing. Swimming in a cold river to retrieve my first deer. Drag racing with a cop. Driving a race car. Dealing with fear. Skydiving. Pickleball. Laugh with me. An angel blinded my eyes and prevented certain death of my entire family. We struggled through a dark decade of mental illness. What do you say to your brother when you know it is the last time you will see him alive on earth? Despair. Cancer. Death. Cry with me. Do you believe in God? Do you believe the Creator of the Universe interacts with us on a personal level? Does He lead us? Touch us physically? Mentally? Does He even know who we are? He called me by name, and He walked with me on my journey. After reading my story, I hope you will agree that the answers are “yes.” Praise with me. “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” (Jude 23-24)
