Virtual Book Tour This Too Shall Pass by David Yuen #newbookalert #christian #nonfiction #poetry

Write Now Literary is pleased to organize a two-week book tour and Amazon gift card giveaway for This Too Shall Pass by David Yuen. The book tour will run from July 17-28th, 2023. 

 ISBN: 979-8218186210 

 Genre: Christian. Poems, Prose & Essays

 

Born and raised in NJ as a second-generation Chinese American, David Yuen received a B.A. from Rutgers University and has been writing poetry along with other writing styles for over twenty years. His works have appeared in other publications including Poetry East and Romantics Quarterly.  

 Life is a gift. A fleeting, complicated, painful gift. Life holds death, it holds struggle with God, and it holds precious relationships we easily take for granted. And with every event that threatens life as we know it, our perspective on it changes, whether it’s a pandemic, a shift in politics, the tragedy of war, or personal loss. This Too Shall Pass is an exploration of life—sorrowful, mysterious, funny, and beautiful—through a collection of poems, prose, memoir, and commentary written from a mostly Christian perspective. Life is no small thing. Life is no easy thing. Life is uncertain. But one thing is certain about life: it’s miraculous.

Hello David and welcome to Nothing But Books Blog. Tell us more about you.

Besides, when you came to know the Lord, what is the happiest day in your life? 

The day I realized that I wasn’t as hated as I thought I was and that I’m loved more than I deserve and that it was okay to be broken because God uses and loves us anyway. 

 What are your hobbies, besides writing and reading? 

 I enjoy hiking and traveling. I feel that retreating to nature clears the mind, especially when you do it alone. I'm there hiking by myself, not to accomplish or achieve anything--I'm there just to be there; to come and go as I please. It's the blessing of simply existing. I feel that travel expands the mind. When you go to a new place, talk to the locals when you can, taste their food, witness their lifestyle, and understand the breadth of the world, it's not only enjoyable but inspiring. But always remember that regardless of where you go, always be sure to bring the people you love with you even when they can't physically be with you. 

Is there one particular message or “moral of the story” you hope readers walk away with?

If I were to sum up a “moral of the story” in my current work, it would be this: Life is unique, special, miraculous, and painful and it isn’t as black and white as we like it to be. But whatever life might bring, God is present in it all. 

 Why do you write the kind of books you do? 

When it comes to writing, I enjoy trying out different styles of writing. Sometimes I find myself inspired to write a poem, but when more complicated issues come up, I find that an essay is best to help me work through things. I guess really it depends on what I'm wrestling with at the time whether it's with the extreme holiness of a moment or a tragedy that may not have clear answers. 

 What impact did your research have on you personally? 

 A lot of the research I’ve done, at least involving this book, was on a lot of the current events that were happening in the world at the time. Whether it’s politics, war, or even the COVID pandemic, there was always something to look into. Doing all this not only made me more aware of how complicated issues are but also how complicated the human condition is. It also helped me get a greater appreciation of different perspectives outside of my own. 

 Do you think there’s any reason, in particular, some people have one reaction versus the other when something bad happens in their life? 

 It's about perspective. When Job went through his afflictions, he only saw a specific side of what he was experiencing, and understandably so. All his friends who tried to "help" had all their perspectives which sounded convincing on some level, but in the end, were not accurate. It was only when God stepped in and challenged Job's perspective that Job had a better idea of how to react to where he was. 

Now, obviously, this is an extreme example but sometimes extreme examples are what we need to make sense of things. And regardless of whether God physically manifests to us or not when something bad happens is mostly not the point. The truth is, God is there throughout it all and He's willing to show us the true perspective of things only if we choose to be open to it.

David, thank you so much for stopping by on your book tour.

MEET THE AUTHOR

  

Jessica Johnson Glover is an author, speaker, mental health advocate, and Realtor. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Clark Atlanta University. After almost twenty years of living successfully with a mental illness, Jessica realized she possessed the skills and knowledge to help people who silently suffer from mental illnesses.

In this community, Jessica conducts monthly virtual meetings that help individuals successfully manage mental illness and live the lives of their dreams. With the assistance of the SISS network professionals, Jessica, and her team offer expertise, resources, and skills that are needed to not only be successful BUT maintain mental wellness. Jessica is married to her soulmate, Gerald L. Glover, a mortgage professional. They reside in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Her moments of purposeful self-care include: spending time with her family and friends, listening to gospel music, getting pampered, and binge-watching some of her favorite television shows with her husband.

ABOUT THE BOOK

   

 

The first time Jessica Johnson Glover snapped, she walked outside naked with her Gucci bag and African cane. Her sanity left temporarily. However, after spending time in mental health hospitals, Jessica came to terms with her mental illness, and accepted the help and support she needed to win and rise to the top.

However, taking control of her mental health wasn't without determination, a proper diagnosis/treatment, and unyielding faith in God. Today, Jessica is insanely successful - personally and professionally, and she is a champion for those living with mental illness.

Jessica believes that by taking the correct medication-as prescribed- and practicing a balanced lifestyle, those battling mental illness can experience true freedom and live a life that's far from crazy.

The PKs Journey to Jesus by Dr. Stephanie Bigelow #christian #nonfiction #newbookalert #newbookrelease #indieauthor

Write Now Literary is pleased to be organizing a one-week book tour and Amazon gift card giveaway for The PKs Journey To Jesus by Dr. Stephanie Bigelow. The book tour will run from Nov, 28- Dec 2, 2022. 

ISBN: 979-8218059743 

Genre: Christian Inspiration 

Book Release Date: October 16, 2022   

Dr. Stephanie Bigelow has served in ministry since her early teens. Growing up a Pastor’s daughter, Dr. Bigelow was exposed to serving in God’s Kingdom at an early age. In her father’s ministry in Fairfield, California, Stephanie taught children’s ministry, worked as a youth leader and assisted her parents with church administration. A Bay Area native, Dr. Bigelow grew up in Fairfield, California where she graduated from Armijo High School. She studied at the University of Phoenix earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Healthcare Administration. Additionally, Dr. Bigelow holds a Master of Theology degree and an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from GODSOM University.  

Many preacher’s kids who have grown up in the church have experienced ups, downs, and challenges associated with ministry life. Ministry is no tedious journey. Just like their parents, PKs have had to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling, both privately and publicly. There is no doubt that PKs will endure their own life challenges, but regardless of how they start, what matters is that they finish! This book chronicles one such PK whose personal journey to Jesus was met with trials, setbacks, victories, and ultimately total redemption. Readers of this book will gain a better understanding of the humanistic side of ministry families. PKs will be empowered to embrace this mandate they have been called to. PKs, it’s time to reach forward and walk in your God-given calling!

 

Trials don’t discriminate. They are equal-opportunity employers. In our lowest points in life, we can pull on God’s joy and strength to lift us out of whatever pit we find ourselves in. When we’re weak, God is even stronger. No matter where life takes us, there’s no pit that’s deep enough where God’s word can’t deliver us out of. Psalms 40:2 (KJV) says, “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.” When God brings you out of your pit, it’s a wrap!

Genre: inspirational Christian fiction

 

Betty Collier describes herself as a nurse by profession, author by passion, and storyteller by the grace of God. She is a 5x bestselling, 4x award-winning inspirational Christian author. She writes with a purpose, and that is to bring honor and glory to God.

 

Her first book series, "Living Inside the Testimony" is a collection of inspirational nonfiction stories. Betty showcases her gift of storytelling by engulfing her readers from the very beginning and captivating their attention throughout the emotional journeys.

 

In her second book series, "The Birthday Gift", Betty displays her creative storytelling in a surprisingly extraordinary way with her fictional work. She continues to inspire while lifting the words right off the pages to bring her characters to life. Readers will find themselves hoping for the best and dreaming about the characters as if they were members of their own family.

 

Betty also co-authored 2 anthologies with visionary author, Paulette Harper. Both are Amazon #1 bestsellers, "For Such a Time as This" and "The Breaking Point." They feature incredible and inspirational stories from 20 different men and women from all across America.

 

Betty’s fictional work in The Birthday Gift Book Series is included in the John 3:16 Global Placement Mission as commissioned by founder, Terry Gurley. She uses her talent to introduce readers to the greatest gift ever given to mankind. While taking them on intriguing tales of heartbreak and hope, Betty intricately weaves together stories leaving readers in suspense until the very end. What they have in common is they all beautifully deliver the gospel message found in John 3:16.

 

On a personal note, Betty has been married since 1986 to William Collier, the absolute love of her life, after first meeting him in middle school. They are the proud parents of two sons and a daughter-in-love, all of whom reside in Shelby County, TN.

An unexpected knock on the door derails a birthday celebration as Mrs. Williams recalls the mysterious events that prevented her beloved husband from flying back home with their daughter's priceless, life-changing gift he discovered at a flea market in the Middle East. In the opening scene, she learns in a most dramatic fashion that the absolute love of her life was murdered while in route to Los Angeles. Her faith and fortitude are unimaginably tested, but Mrs. Williams ultimately realizes that she possesses the greatest gift inside of her.

 

This Book Excellence Award-Winning Book is an exceptionally thought-provoking and intriguing tale that takes the reader on an emotional journey of profound heartbreak to surprising hope for the future. Although a catastrophic loss occurs, one comes away with a great sense of hopefulness in this increasingly violent world. The author intricately weaves this story together leaving readers in suspense until the very end. Be uplifted and inspired as you discover your own faith while experiencing the gift of a lifetime so cleverly embedded within the pages of this book.

 

Tell us about The Birthday Gift: Book 1 –  This Book Excellence Award-Winning Book is an exceptionally thought-provoking and intriguing tale that takes the reader on an emotional journey of profound heartbreak to surprising hope for the future. Although a catastrophic loss occurs, one comes away with a great sense of hopefulness in this increasingly violent world. 

 

Is there one particular message or “moral of the story” you hope readers walk away with? After reading The Birthday Gift: Book 1, I hope readers will gain a newfound sense of hope. The book teaches readers some of life’s most important lessons including how to forgive, how to deal with heartbreak and trauma, and how to find inner strength during life’s most troubling times. 

 

How did The Birthday Gift: Book 1 get started? Terry Gurley, a visionary artist and sculptor is the Principle Director/Creator of The Gospel Symbol. One of his pieces is The Message of the Bible sculpture. It explains the gospel of John 3:16 using a picture story. Terry approached me the first day we met after learning that I was an author and asked me to write a fictional story about the sculpture he created. He provided no guidelines for what I should write and simply asked that the gospel symbol be part of the story.

 

How do you see yourself in your character’s story, if at all? I intentionally named the main character Mrs. Williams because my husband’s first name is William. In order for me to feel the unfathomable loss that Mrs. Williams endured, I engulfed myself into her emotions and wrote how I thought I would feel had I been in her shoes. It was an excruciating process that broke my heart as I was writing her story. I dreamed about the characters in the book as if they were my own family which made those raw emotions truly come to life. 

 

Where do you like to write? In my dreams, I write on location in some far away, exotic location. Out of curiosity, I’ve sometimes wondered what it would be like to write in solitude like Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond. In reality, I write in my home office while sitting at a desk and typing on my laptop. I always start with a blank Word document and no outline. Because ideas often interrupt my sleep in the middle of the night, I make voice memos in my cell phone and then listen to them the next day when I’m sitting at the computer.

 

How do you choose between ideas you’d like to write about? My mind is constantly bombarded with story ideas, but before I make a decision to write anything, I seek the Lord for guidance first. I will not consider writing anything that does not bring honor and glory to God as that is the main reason why I write. It is only after careful consideration of the message I hope to deliver in a book that I will even begin to entertain the idea of actually penning a story. 

 

What’s on the horizon for you?  What will you be writing next? Completing the series of 5 books birthed from The Birthday Gift is my top priority. Dear John is the 2^nd book in the series, which will be released later in 2022. The 3^rdbook, I Can Only Imagine: Bella’s Journey will make its debut in 2023. Following that will be book # 4, Mary, Did You Know? coming in 2024, and finally the climactic end to the series, book #5, WILL Is a Gift from God, which readers will have to wait for until 2025. After reading The Birthday Gift, it becomes apparent why there has to be multiple sequels. I will also launch my new business, John316 Global Publishing in 2023. As the publisher, my vision is to publish encouraging and inspirational works sharing the gospel presentation found in John 3:16 around the globe. It will be a place to discover nonfiction, fiction, poetry, blogs, and children’s books that all point readers to HIS message.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

As Christians it is somehow implied that once we are saved, we have all the skills for living a kingdom life on earth. There somehow a switch that flips on and we are downloaded with the faith to make it through all the storms. We will instantly trust God with our lives even though we were taught to not trust anybody. We are somehow just going to love God unconditionally when most of us were not loved and don’t have a clue how to receive love without conditions. We must learn the new life and way of living IN God. When we come to Jesus Christ as born-again servants of the Lord, we are not told that we need more that a service mindset with God to make into heaven. Our relationship with God can be broken down into three parts just like the Tabernacle of old. Either you are having a relationship (outer court), or you with God (The Holy) or you are in relationship with God (The Holy of Holiness). Now all are good to experience but faith, trust and love can only be when we are IN a relationship with God.

 

Cynthia Robinson takes you through the 3 stages of growth in God it is Have, With and IN. She explains the how’s, what’s, when’s, and who’s with familiar biblical characters and principles. Cynthia has included her own experiences waking in complete darkness right in the church.” I never know faith, love and trust in God would be like this but when you open yourself to his grace and mercy the True God can show up for you”. 

 

EXCERPT

 

The “IN” word is a simple yet complex book on being “IN” a relationship with God. We cannot just be a Christian or a religious person. At the point of adoption into the family of God, everything in our lives change. We are no longer on the outside looking in. No more just being Gentiles or Jews. Not sinners doomed to hell for eternity. The confession of your mouth that Jesus Christ came to die for your sins and that His resurrection confirmed eternal life with the Godhead, we are now heirs with Christ. 

 

With that being said, to be “IN” means we have something we must do. We are to be “IN” relationship with God. Now, I know some of you are saying, “I’m already in a relationship with God. I pray daily, I read my bible and I go to church. I sing in the choir, I minister to the young/the elderly, and I do other ministry work. I give to the poor and I do missions work out of the country. I pay tithes and offerings.” “My relationship with God is fine. Is it, really?” Everything mentioned are works for the Kingdom. It’s good, but what about the “IN” God part? Merriam-Webster defines the word “IN” as, used in a function to indicate inclusion, location, or position within limits.

 

After reading this definition, what type of relationship do you have with the Godhead? Are you “Having” a relationship or “With” God “IN” a relationship or are you “In” relationship with God? 

Let’s see…
