If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, how easy is it for you to share with others your faith in Him? For many, I would say that it is probably difficult. My home congregation is trying to make it easy for everyone to share the story of their faith. So, I am pleased to share the first of several messages about sharing. Today, we learn how being a BLESS-ing can help you share your faith in Christ. BLESS is an acronym to help you remember some basic steps in sharing.  Take a listen for more details! 00:31:00GelatisScoopnoGeorge Taylor,Voice Actor,Narrator,Christian InspirationalGeorge Taylor discusses what BLESS stands for!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/09/18/voice-actor-george-taylor-discusses-surviving-perilous-timesBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/09/18/voice-actor-george-taylor-discusses-surviving-perilous-times/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/09/18/voice-actor-george-taylor-discusses-surviving-perilous-timesFri, 18 Sep 2015 13:00:00 GMTVoice Actor George Taylor discusses "Surviving Perilous Times"Most of the time we read passages like Luke 21 in light of an end-of-times narrative.  However, I think that Jesus’ hearers – his disciples and apostles – would have heard this narrative in a different way.  Jesus was preparing his disciples with instructions for survival in perilous times.  In their day, Jerusalem was going to be destroyed, the church was to be scattered through persecution, and disciples would be killed.  How would they get through those times? In many ways, our times are not so different.  There is persecution for believers in Jesus – some that leads to death.  Churches are in trouble for various reasons.  And times seem to be getting more difficult.  How to God’s children cope? In this podcast, I go back to Jesus’ instructions for His first followers from Luke 21:5-36.  Let’s hear Jesus’ words as they might have heard them, not as an end-of-times narrative.  What do we learn of coping in perilous times? 00:16:00GelatisScoopnoGeorge Taylor,Voice Actor,Narrator,Narration,ChristianVoice Actor George Taylor discusses "Surviving Perilous Times"http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/09/11/george-taylor-discusses-anne-baxter-campbells-the-romans-questBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/09/11/george-taylor-discusses-anne-baxter-campbells-the-romans-quest/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/09/11/george-taylor-discusses-anne-baxter-campbells-the-romans-questFri, 11 Sep 2015 12:00:00 GMTGeorge Taylor discusses Anne Baxter Campbell's "The Roman's Quest"In The Roman’s Quest, by Anne Baxter Campbell, we meet Centurion Julius who has eyes for a young Jewish woman, Miriam.  Miriam also has eyes for Julius, but a Roman is not who her father intends for her.  Miriam is a pious Jewish girl, determined to do the right thing by her God and her parents, and she bows to her father’s wishes to betroth her to a Jewish fisherman, James ben Zebedee.  Her heart yearns for the Roman; his heart yearns for her; but their love is impossible.  Miriam’s mother lies close to death, and her last wish is to see her daughter wed.  The marriage has to take place before it’s too late.  Woven through this story is the presence of a new prophet on the scene; a man called Jesus.

As an amputation surgeon myself for the past 40 years, how I wish I had had available this handbook to help educate, calm, reassure and (believe it or not) even amuse my amputation patients! Kudos to Dee Malchow for providing absolutely essential insight into this terribly fraught clinical scenario.” Kaj Johansen MD, PhD, FACS, Chief of Vascular Surgery at Swedish Medical Center, Seattle Losing a limb will impact every aspect of a persons' life. This book describes the emotional process that a person experiences in adjusting to limb loss. It's based on the author's own story and professional experience yet includes input for many others living with an amputation. A person's attitude and behavior will either promote or impede progress. An amputation can feel like a disaster or a nuisance. Most days it feels somewhere in between. Dee Malchow, MN, RN, is an amputation nurse specialist. She experienced a right below knee amputation at age 19 from a boating accident. She received her Bachelor of Science and Masters Degree in Nursing from the University of Washington. Over the past 50 years Dee has interacted with over 3000 amputees through her job at a Trauma Center, sports (skiing & soccer), mission work (Sierra Leone, W. Africa), and prosthetic research. Dee is married to Jim Malchow, and lives in Shoreline, Washington.

He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships.          When Lyndie James, Jake’s childhood best friend, lands back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion’s reluctance to run.        Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together. Against Jake’s will, Lyndie’s sparkling, optimistic personality begins to tear down the walls he’s built around his heart. A glimmer of the hope he’d thought he’d lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend? Becky makes her home in Dallas, Texas with her husband and three children.  She's the Carol Award and Inspirational Reader's Choice Award winning author of contemporary Christian romances. 00:22:00GelatisScoopnoBecky Wade,Christian INspirational,Christian Romance,Christian Romance Contemporary,Christian SuspenseFormer Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/07/02/george-taylor-shares-his-impressions-of-the-hear-now-festivalBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/07/02/george-taylor-shares-his-impressions-of-the-hear-now-festival/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/07/02/george-taylor-shares-his-impressions-of-the-hear-now-festivalThu, 02 Jul 2015 12:30:00 GMTGeorge Taylor shares his impressions of the "Hear Now Festival"!We’ve just returned from a week away attending the Hear Now Festival in Kansas City, MO.  HEAR Now is the audio equivalent of a film festival for contemporary audio story-telling in all its forms: live and scripted solo performances, multi-voiced performance, classic radio drama, experimental narrative, and much more.  In this podcast, I share my impressions on the festival and share some samples from the participants in this festival.  (No, these samples don’t come from this festival, but from other sources.)   00:28:00GelatisScoopnoGeorge Taylor,Voice Actor,Narration,Narrator,AudiobooksWe’ve just returned from a week away attending the Hear Now Festival in Kansas City, MO.  HEAR Now is the audio equivalent of a film festival for contemporary ahttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/07/01/nancy-kay-grace-the-grace-impactBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/07/01/nancy-kay-grace-the-grace-impact/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/07/01/nancy-kay-grace-the-grace-impactWed, 01 Jul 2015 18:00:00 GMTNancy Kay Grace, "The Grace Impact"Nancy Kay Grace is captivated by God’s grace and loves to share about embracing it in everyday life.

I was deeply involved in playing Ancient Anguish, a text- based fantasy multi-user dimension (MUD) game. One of the perks of completing enough quests in the game was the opportunity to become a coder for the game. The joy at seeing my creation come to life got me interested in the creative process, so I decided to pursue a degree in creative writing from Penn State University. I joined the Penn State Schuylkill Campus Collegiate staff, interned at PA Business Central and Voices of Central Pennsylvania, and became a summer correspondent for the Pottsville Republican. In Dec. 2002, I graduated from Penn State University with a B.A., English, with an emphasis in nonfiction writing. Following graduation, I enlisted in the Army as a print journalist. During my roughly 6 years in the Army, I covered multiple story types (sports, hard news, features), earning several awards. My work has appeared in multiple newspapers worldwide to include Military.com (readership: 6,023,048); Stars and Stripes, Washington, DC (readership: 1,000,000); and the Associated Press, New York, NY. One of my stories, Girl Waits for Second Chance to See, made the front cover of Stars and Stripes. My work in the Army garnered me numerous awards, including the 2007 U.S. Army Forces Command runner-up Journalist of the Year (one of the top 14 journalists Army wide), 2005 Installation Management Southwest Region Journalist of the Year (one of the top seven journalists Army-wide).

Change happens! Healings happen! Nothing is impossible when God speaks His plan and purpose! A dynamic speaker with a heart after God, Forshia has a passion to see His redemptive plan played out in the lives of others. And because God has so graciously and powerfully healed Forshia from destructive patterns in her life, she desires that others experience healing as promised in Isaiah 61. She gives hope to the brokenhearted and stirs the hearts of the complacent. She challenges others to lead a life of obedience to God.   You will be amazed as Forshia provides just the right keys to unlock the hindrances of the heart that keep you from serving God with greater joy and purpose. After all, the Bible says that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Using her own experiences as a backdrop and the Word of God as a foundation, she will unfold the scriptures in such a way, that you will definitely come away saying, "I can do this! With God's help, I can really do this!" You won’t be disappointed when you discover that God wants the best for you.   A licensed and ordained minister, Pastor Forshia Ross is the founder and director of Treasures from the Heart Ministry. She has a television and radio program which gives practical Biblical insight for daily living and is the author of "No Secondhand Rose" and "The Wilderness Shall Blossom Like the Rose", the first and second of a trilogy about her spiritual journey to wholeness.

And one more. And one more. ~ Jerry B. Jenkins You're restless. Trouble has you gasping beside the narrow road. This is your invitation back to the adventure. Some Christians leave their relationship with God in a sealed box like a collectible that will be worth something "someday." Not you. You wholeheartedly answered the call to follow Him into the great adventure. Then, something unexpected happened that left you gasping beside the narrow road. You thought you were following Jesus but now it feels as if all you're doing is running from a crazy man. Even knocked down, though, you seek the strength to continue the journey. This isn't a book for the happily comfortable. This is a book for the restless Jesus lover, the longsuffering disciple, the openhearted believer. Be forewarned. The challenges inside are designed to unsettle you as well as provide practical suggestions for thriving on the narrow road even if trouble is your travel companion. Running from a Crazy Man (and Other Adventures Traveling with Jesus) is a siren call to the modern believer that the God-adventure can happen even when, like King David, you re running from a crazy man. 00:29:00GelatisScoopnoLori Stanley Roeleveld,Christian Inspirational,Personal Growth,Spiritual Growth,PrayerYou’ll find yourself saying as I did: just one more chapter.

His latest novel, The Shadow Cartel, was a #2 bestseller on Amazon UK. In addition to writing, Layton attended law school in New Orleans and was a practicing attorney for the better part of a decade.

Although born in Syracuse, he was raised in the quaint town of Baldwinsville with his brother and two sisters, who drove him into becoming the crazy person he is today.

Most days, you will see them playing ball at a nearby park, going for a dip in the backyard pool or snowboarding on a popular mountainside.

A young woman lay, packed in ice, as doctors attempted to somehow stop the swelling in her brain that threatened to take her life... and her family waited. Six days turned into eight weeks. She awoke to discover that she was not the same. She saw two of everything, couldn't feel half of her face, couldn't hear from one ear, and could not speak. She couldn't even tell anyone that she felt hopeless...or could she? Halo Found Hope is the story of a beautiful, busy wife, and mother of three whose life changes instantly with the diagnosis of a rare brain tumor. An exceptional ENT, a brilliant neurosurgeon and a dedicated medical team tackle the tumor, setting off a series of unbelievable miracles. Helo's story is not one of survival, or of salvaging a life through a broken body. It is not about endurance through pain, but victory because of it. While the family heard her silence, God heard her prayer. Helo's story is simply this: Wherever you are and whatever you are going through, God is right there. He doesn't need to be recognized by you, to be there for you. He can replace fear with courage and discouragement with determination, if you let Him. Helo did, and that is how she found hope. www.HaloFoundHope.com 00:26:00GelatisScoopnoHelo Matzelle,Brain Tumor,Christian Life Inspirational,Faith,PrayerMachines beeping, the blur of medical staff running, a crash cart whizzing into an ICU room, was there any hope?

The single father is often considered a mythical creature, found only in sitcoms as an object of humor or pity. Where does that leave real single dads? Too often, it makes them susceptible to overcompensation or apathy. Tez Brooks knows those feelings all too well. He’s traveled that road with his own children after an unexpected divorce. The Single Dad Detour is the result of his journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way. It’s a guidebook for the rocky road of single fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges, using specific examples from dads who’ve survived parenting and have hope to offer. There are no unreachable requirements for perfect fatherhood here and no twisty theological mysteries—just authentic, down-to-earth wisdom from one dad to another. Tez Brooks is the father of four children and a missionary filmmaker for The Jesus Film Project. He has also been a journalist for Cru and a Florida law enforcement officer. Tez has been speaking and writing books and articles for over thirty years. Practical steps to embrace God's mission for single-again dads. --Bill Hodgson, national director Campus Crusade for Christ Australia If I were a single parent on this journey, I'd want Tez's comforting voice on my GPS. It's a warm and understanding voice that's traveled the back roads and knows where it's going. --Rick James author of Jesus Without Religion and A Million Ways to Die For an easily overlooked demographic, Tez Brooks wisely, honestly, and courageously deep-dives into how divorced fathers can survive being single and still be really good dads. --Rohan Dredge, founder and CEO New Level Leadership 00:25:00GelatisScoopnoTez Brooks,Divorce,Single Parent,Christian World View,FilmmakerPractical steps to embrace God's mission for single Dads Conventional wisdom holds that fathers have few parenting skills and that mothers always know best.

Captivated as a small child by the ingenious tales of Joe Pooh, Teddy Bear Detective, spun out by his endlessly inventive older sister, the young boy was left bereft of sister and story at her untimely death when he was only six years old. Books, poems, music and lyrics were his solace and he has been deeply immersed in creating them ever since. Born and reared in urban central New Jersey, his life was changed by two events; his encounter with Jesus through Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship after a thought-provoking hospitalization in the summer between his final year in high school and first year in college, due to cutting too much weight as co-captain of his high school wrestling team; and the impact of a riot in his birth city, Plainfield, N.J., during the racial upheavals in the late 1960s. The second event propelled him into a lifetime of urban ministry taking the healing message he’d learned from the first event to the streets of Plainfield, then to Newark, Philadelphia, back to Newark/New York/Jersey City, Trenton, Louisville, Kentucky, and today to Boston, where he trains ministers, as professor of theology and the arts, with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary’s Center for Urban Ministerial Education. Along the way he played in a band during the Jesus Movement, performing at coffee houses and festivals, helped establish a school for store front pastors, planted a storefront church he continues to co-pastor, helped create an academic journal and a book line and has had many adventures himself in city ministry.   00:53:00GelatisScoopnoWilliam David Spencer,Christian Inspirational,Christian Fiction,Pastor,ProfessorSince early childhood, William David Spencer has been in love with books and, particularly with mysteries and adventure stories.

This true story of a family’s troubled past will leave you breathless at the depravity of human nature and amazed at the power Divine intervention. Sharon Garlock Spiegel loved writing even as a young girl. She often wrote stories and poetry - a skill she inherited from her grandmother, Jessie May Garlock.

With slices of humor, I write of hardships many face as a single mom, a parent of a disabled child, a displaced employee, a lonely widow and a once homeless young man. My characters, flawed, live through unnerving stress, like a barefoot water-skier hanging on to the boat connected with one strand of yarn to life. While hanging onto the boat for dear life they find the unwavering patience of God in the most unusual places. Using my degree in Recreational Therapy I have worked with autistic children, In this novel I wanted a story that would lift their value in the world while at the same time highlight the difficulty raising such a special child. My first book, Changing Zip Codes: Finding Community Wherever You're Transplanted is a devotional for movers, anecdotes pulled from 22 moves. I have a passion to help families move reminding them they will have a life and community at the other end. A foot loose and fancy-free freelancer for fourteen years I've now settled down to a regular gig as a reporter for the Mooresville Weekly in Davidson, North Carolina. Words define me....I love to speak to women's groups such as MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) and at national writers' conferences. Family defines me more. I have a great husband, four grown children and five grandchildren. As far as hobbies I love music and favor bluegrass. If prodded, I will produce a mandolin. My secret dream was to become a lounge singer. But realizing that dream is a little late to happen, I've found great contentment writing stories to encourage and inspire women.

She first enjoyed creative writing in elementary school and continued to write short stories in high school. At college, she wrote a short story for a Christian Marriage class and was told her writing was very similar to John Steinbeck. Linda continues to keep a journal and write stories while working at her 'paying job'. She often writes early in the morning before going to work and dedicates many weekends to editing and revising. "You should write because you can't not write, not in the hopes of getting published. The characters and message in the book should matter to you. If you're worried about what a publisher is looking for or if anyone will want to read it, than I think you're in the wrong profession. In my opinion, there are too many 'copy-cat' books out there and a lot of celebrities who get books published because companies know their name will sell the material. As an avid reader, I look for books that inspire, educate and allow me to use my imagination." Linda's books allow the reader to contemplate the importance of family, faith, values and how the actions each person takes in life always affect other people. Whether she is writing fiction or non-fiction, Linda's stories continue to inspire us all to reflect on our actions and live everyday to the fullest! 00:46:00GelatisScoopnoLinda Massucci,Christian Fiction,Family,Cultural Heritage,Christian InspirationalLinda Massucci grew up in a small town in Connecticut.

Because it spans three careers as priest, lawyer, and Christian pastor. Then, there’s the other side, of course: the female line, which is a proliferation of the Gaelic Celtic – more story telling interspersed with fiery feminine war cries. What’s story telling got to do with lawyering? If you’ve never appeared before a judge, told him a story (a true one) about the case in question, and have little penchant for narrative, don’t ever try it! There are few things more mentally painful than the sarcasm of the judiciary. Similarly, don’t ever expect your congregation to listen to you if can’t put together a modern day parable that is faithful to the New Testament variety. You’ll wind up preaching to yourself and getting frightfully bored. Add to this a balladeer’s gift of writing soul-seeking songs and performing them on stage, and you begin to apprehend him. And perhaps it’s because this rather strange Scot did not quite fit in those ‘aforementioned’ careers that he finally decided to get serious about narrative and create some stories of his own, from scratch of course. Or maybe it was simply because, true to his counter-cultural, God-smitten, Celtic ancestors, he wanted to tell stories about a faithful Presence in a godless age. 00:29:00GelatisScoopnoTony Hilling,Christian Fantasy,Devotionals,Christian Fiction,Christian Non-FictionPerhaps his Breton, Celtic fathers are the reason for it -- the story telling, I mean.

Attempts to write a poem or non-fiction piece were unsuccessful, so she put the thoughts aside and prayed. Eight months later, Susan and her late husband were discussing that event when he declared, "That's it! That's your book, and it will be written in 4 months and be called Ghosts of the Past." The first draft was written in 4 months and underwent a name change to Echoes of the Past. Later, it became The Moses Conspiracy. Now, after 2 years of caring for her husband through cancer until his death and 6 years of honing her fiction skills, The Moses Conspiracy has been published. A widow, stepmom, daughter, and follower of Jesus Christ, Susan enjoys reading, couponing, gardening, family time, and searching for small treasures in antique shops.

Her bookshelves are filled with volumes about the American Revolution, an era she became fascinated with when growing up in Massachusetts. Her passions are her family, her faith in Christ and writing—usually about the American Revolution, a frequent subject of her novels. Her most recent publication is a definite change in her usual topic. Bethany’s Calendar is a non-fiction memoir of her daughter who died of a brain tumor in 2003. This is the book she never wanted to write, yet felt an inner prompting to pen her daughter’s  journey through terminal cancer. It has already touched many lives and her prayer is that it will help each reader, whether a caregiver, patient or friend of a patient. Or just anyone who faces an unimaginable struggle in their life. Elaine is also a contributing writer to Fighting Fear, Winning the War at Home by Edie Melson, and I Choose You, a romance Anthology. Her freelance work has appeared in both newspapers and magazines, and she blogs regularly at http://ColonialQuills.blogspot.com. You can read her blog at this website.

We all agreed, saying we’d be there for each other if any of us got stuck during the process. Mildred, who’s self-published over twenty books, spearheaded the effort. Vanessa Riley, who’s a talented designer as well as writer, volunteered to create a cover for each story.    We’re a laid-back group, so no one set rules about which fairy tales we chose or what direction we took with the retelling. We wanted and needed to make them consistent though. First we discussed length and decided on novellas. Considering several options on how to tie them all together, we chose the location. June Foster had already started her story in a town called Fairwilde. We all agreed to put our characters there, but instead of having them in a particular town and state, we created Fairwilde Kingdom. I think this was important because it gave us a way to use more than one setting for our stories. Vanessa suggested the same size for the covers along with a title, sub-title and series name. We call each book AFairwilde Reflection Novella. We started writing and critiquing immediately. Working in our fantasy worlds for a year brought us lots of joy. We hope the novellas will do the same for our readers. First out was At the Edge of a Dark Forest, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Connie Almony; next, Red and the Wolf, a version of Little Red Riding Hood by June Foster; third, Mirror on the Fall, an adaptation of Snow White by Mildred Colvin; fourth, Swept Away, a twist on Cinderella by Vanessa Riley and lastly Mountain of Love and Danger.  00:55:00GelatisScoopnoGail Pallotta,Vanessa Riley,June Foster,Connie Almony,Fairy TalesThe Fairy Tale Series - from Gail Pallotta Mildred Colvin’s son, Jonathan, suggested his mother and each of her critique partners write a fairy tale and self-phttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/01/23/helping-hands-press-thirsty-thursday-partyBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/01/23/helping-hands-press-thirsty-thursday-party/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/01/23/helping-hands-press-thirsty-thursday-partyFri, 23 Jan 2015 01:00:00 GMTHelping Hands Press "Thirsty Thursday" PartyHelping Hands Press “THIRSTY THURSDAY” Party!

It's a clandestine world where intricate networks of people fight a complex battle to keep the world safe from terrorism. When terrorists funded by the Libyan government strike airports in Rome and Vienna in 1985, the CIA enlists top propaganda expert Mike Garnett to help recruit a high-ranking Libyan official, Foreign Minister Abdallah Mukhtar, to work for the CIA. As violence escalates between the US military and terrorists based in Libya, Garnett utilizes CIA assets in Hollywood to produce a propaganda video designed to convince Mukhtar he was betrayed by his own regime. Garnett's plan works—but goes sideways when it motivates the Libyan official to do something Garnett didn’t even consider. Sharp and insightful, Secret Wars: An Espionage Story is a thrilling tale of deception, betrayal, and patriotism—and Garnett soon learns they’re not as black and white as they seem when he’s forced to reevaluate the true nature of the business of deception. For fans of Tom Clancy, David Ignatius, and Frederick Forsyth, Secret Wars is a fictional thriller set against the backdrop of historical events. Meticulously researched, it pulls from the author's personal experiences as a member of the CIA. 00:30:00GelatisScoopnoJoe Goldberg,Secret Wars,CIA,Thriller,SuspenseSecret Wars: An Espionage Story is a suspenseful glimpse into the shadowy world of the CIA, where deceivers become the deceived and the consequences are life orhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/01/12/lynne-gentryhealer-of-carthage-a-novel-the-carthage-chroniclesBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/01/12/lynne-gentryhealer-of-carthage-a-novel-the-carthage-chronicles/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2015/01/12/lynne-gentryhealer-of-carthage-a-novel-the-carthage-chroniclesMon, 12 Jan 2015 15:00:00 GMTLynne Gentry,"Healer of Carthage: A Novel (The Carthage Chronicles)"Pastor's wives often feel everyone is watching them.

Not that I wasn't friendly, I just wasn't "people orientated". Maybe I lived in my head way more than I should have, maybe not. I liked machines more than people, at least I did until I met my wife.          The first thing I can remember writing was for her. For the life of me I can't remember what it was about... something about dust bunnies under the bed and monsters in my closet. It must have been pretty good because she married me shortly after that. I spent a good number of years after inventing games and prototypes for a variety of ideas before I got back to writing.          It wasn't a deliberate conscious thought, it was more of a stepping stone. My wife and I had joined a dream interpret group and we were encouraged to write down our dreams as they occurred. "Be as detailed as you can," we were told.         Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_6?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=tegon+maus&sprefix=tegon+%2Cstripbooks%2C381 Barns & Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/tegon-maus?keyword=tegon+maus&store=book&iehack=%E2%98%A0     00:28:00GelatisScoopnoTegon Maus,Science Fiction,Fantasy,Fiction,Action & AdventureI was raised pretty much the same as everyone else... devoted mother, strict father and all the imaginary friends I could conjure.

Narration by George has handled the narration duties. Today's show will give you a glimpse into the audio book and a sample of what you will get to hear. Here is more from Amber Schamel: I am so excited for you to join me in the adventure of The Swaddling Clothes! Before we get started, there are a couple things I would like you to know. This story is a work of Biblical Fiction, meaning that it is based on actual Biblical events, however I have taken the liberty of expounding on the events found in Scripture. The actual origin of The Swaddling Clothes is unknown. We do know that swaddling clothes were used in in times past with the belief that tightly swaddling an infant would help them grow straight and strong, as well as comfort the babe. Wealthy families did design special cloths for their infants, so it is possible that King David would have done so, though it is not mentioned in the Scriptural text. It is my hope that this story will inspire you to go back and study the Biblical accounts for yourself. If you have any questions regarding the story, I’d be glad to hear from you. Again, thank you so much for joining me in this adventure! My prayer is that it will be a great blessing to you, and bring the Bible to life in a way you've never experienced before. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas filled with love, laughter and blessings as you celebrate the true meaning of CHRIST-mas. If you don't already know me, I would love to meet you!

Patten, The Safe Havens Black Ops Series & The Green Beret Foundation!JT Patten has worked integrally with U.S. Army Special Forces groups in intelligence training and operational intelligence support, this Veteran’s Day, Patten will be donating book sales to the Green Beret Foundation.  In a brief conversation with Patten about the Green Beret Foundation, J.T. stated, “Green berets have been perhaps my favorite SOF group to work with.  For as much as I have had the opportunity to train and support them, they have mentored me, taught me, and included me with their team family on numerous occasions.  Those members and my experiences with them have inspired many of the story scenes that I write.  Despite my writings being fictional (and approved by the CIA and DOD for release), I feel that I need to give something back to that community.  In Shadow Masters, there is a powerful scene that involves the loss of a special forces warrior and the ripple effects that many readers don’t realize can happen in the real world.  It still gives me a lump in the throat to read.” The root of that segment, again, highly fictionalized according to Patten, was actually taken from Patten’s experience as a youth, which inspired him to seek a career with intelligence and special activities.

She is the editor and publisher of Tumbleweeds, an award-winning quarterly newspaper for families, based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her work has appeared in local and national publications and online. For five years she wrote the popular "Family Cafe" column for the Santa Fe New Mexican. So her new memoir, "FAREWELL, ALEPPO: My Father, My People, and Their Long Journey Home," the story of her father and the close-knit community of Syrian Jews that her family came from, was an extension of that interest. In part a labor of love, the book is as well as a tribute to Aleppo, Syria's intriguing Jewish community, whose history extends back thousands of years but which has now left Syria and relocated in cities around the world.

She enjoys coffee, good conversation and spending time with her husband, Kevin, and three children--Josiah, Sadie and Amelia. Many books focus on prenatal development and the health of a mom-to-be. While Expectant Parents does touch on important issues of pregnancy, its core purpose is help expectant parents understand key issues related to the arrival of a new child in the home, offering practical assistance as they prepare themselves for long-term family success. It’s often said that babies don’t come with an instruction manual. This book actually provides parents with information and practical steps for writing their own—as they work to create the kind of home and family they choose to build. This includes strengthening their own marriage relationship, setting plans and expectations for parenthood, increasing communication, and preparing for the new stage of their family life that is just ahead. Ideal for first-time parents, this book would also be helpful for couples wanting to explore and prepare for the emotional, physical, and spiritual life changes that come with the arrival of any new child into the family. 00:27:00GelatisScoopnoSuzanne Hadley Gosselin,Pregnancy,Parenthood,Expectant Parents,Marriage RelationshipSuzanne Hadley Gosselin is a freelance writer and editor in Colorado who has written for Focus on the Family, Zondervan, Harvest House, and David C Cook.

When she isn't writing, Robin spends time with her husband of twenty+ years, her three beautiful daughters and two handsome grandsons, and their character-filled pets at home--in the South, where else? She gives back to the writing community by serving as Conference Director for ACFW. Her books have finaled/placed in such contests as the Carol Award, Holt Medallion, RT Reviewer's Choice Award, Bookseller's Best, and Book of the Year. On her faith, Robin says, "I love Jesus and will follow Him wherever He leads me." An avid reader herself, Robin loves hearing from and chatting with other readers.

He spent a lot of time digging into that gold rush too and many of his stories take place back then. John's characters are so real they'll jump right off the page and talk to you; his villains have hearts as cold as midnight and his heroes almost always do the right thing in the end. He's working up quite a reputation for his knowledge of that era too.

While his first novel, Hangtown Creek, a story of adventure, romance, and coming of age in the early days of the gold rush, was published in 2011, his brand new book, Into the Face of the Devil, moves between Hangtown and the sawmill where James Marshall first found gold, and pits a young man in love for the first time against a killer so evil he could pass for Satan. 00:34:00GelatisScoopnoJohn Rose Putnam,Westerns,Historical Fiction,Historical Romance,Gold RushJohn came west as a young man and settled in Berkeley where he graduated from the University of California.

Chinese intelligence and embassy officials, US politicians, unscrupulous industry leaders, and a fledgling but growing and menacing Native American mafia are all primary constituents of a compelling and momentous drama that takes place throughout the western third of the United States. It all begins in a five-thousand-foot-high remote desert location called Tonopah, Nevada. I have been a writer and public speaker for much of my life. My writing has included text booklets, poems, sort stories, and articles for periodical publications. My last book, "Jeremiah's Tale" was published a few years ago. In December, 2013 it became a temporary bestseller on the LuLu Publishing's bestseller list. (Please read on). I thank each of you for your interest in my most recent literary success.

My passion is my family-my husband and I have been married for 40 years and have four kids, five darling grandkids--so far! But since, if a mom does her job right, she eventually puts herself OUT of a job, I'm delighted to have the privilege of working as a novelist. I could not enjoy the writing life more. I've had a couple of non-fiction books published and contributed to some anthologies, as well as writing magazine articles. But my first love is fiction. I have written more than 25 novels and since The Face of the Earth for Howard/Simon & Schuster released in May 2013, I am now working on a new five-book series for Abingdon Press. Home to Chicory Lane releases August 2014. A typical writing day for me begins early--often before 6 a.m.--with the business side of things: answering e-mail and reader mail, updating my Web site, reading for research. We're now empty-nesters so our routine is much quieter than it was when we had four kids at home. When my writing time begins, I have a routine that sets the stage, starting with lighting scented candles, choosing mood music on Pandora, and brewing a pot of coffee. Lately I've been enjoying coffee our son sent me from Germany. I have a cozy office that looks out over our front yard. But since I write on a laptop, I often take my computer to the kitchen counter, a chair by the fireplace, or, if the weather is nice, out on the deck where the birds, squirrels, ducks, geese, and an occasional egret, provide entertainment.

The Wings of the Nightingale series (With Every Letter, 2012, On Distant Shores, August 2013, and In Perfect Time, August 2014) follows three World War II flight nurses as they find love, friendship, and peril in the skies and on the shores of the Mediterranean. The Wings of Glory series (A Distant Melody, A Memory Between Us, and Blue Skies Tomorrow) follows three brothers who are B-17 bomber pilots during World War II. Sundin lives in northern California with her husband, three children, an antisocial cat, and a yellow lab bent on destroying her writing career. When she isn't driving kids to tennis and karate, she works on-call as a hospital pharmacist and teaches Sunday school and women's Bible studies. She belongs to American Christian Fiction Writers, Christian Authors Network, and Advanced Writers and Speakers Association. In 2011 she received the Writer of the Year Award from the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference. A Memory Between Us was a finalist in the Inspirational Readers Choice Awards and was featured on Booklist's Top Ten Inspirational Fiction List for 2010. Please visit Sarah's website at http://www.sarahsundin.com Anne Baxter Campbell is a writer with a deep love of God, family, and friends.

Together we have nine beautiful children (three daughters and six sons) and have pioneered a non-denominational Christian church called The King's Chapel in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. I have loved reading, creating stories, and writing since I was a young girl, and was told that my name "Melanie" was a form of the Greek word for "ink"--- a name I hoped would be prophetic. Although I majored in English and taught high school before having our family, I put writing on the back burner of our busy lives for many years. When my youngest son was old enough for our home-school kindergarten, I had the miraculous adventure of attending a conference on C.S. Lewis at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities which inspired me to begin writing travel articles and eventually my series of historical/romance novels, The Oxford Chronicles. Since then I have returned to the UK numerous times for conferences, research, and even as a tour guide and leader.

She continues to minister to her fellow residents — the widower who reads the same book over and over and the woman who waits by the front door for the family who never arrives. Even Gabriel is back at work, making his rounds and forecasting death. But while Reverend G is able to find the words to conduct a funeral service, anticipates the birth of her first grandchild and plans her future with her beloved, Chris, she battles her worsening Alzheimer’s symptoms — memory loss, paranoia, anger and fear. Now, her worst nightmare seems to be coming true. God hasn’t spoken to her in weeks. Has Reverend G lost her connection with God? RJ Thesman has been a writer since she flipped open her Red Chief tablet and scribbled her first story. After writing 4 non-fiction books and almost 500 articles, she woke up one day with a novel in her head. That novel became "The Unraveling of Reverend G." Thesman enjoys teaching writing workshops and helping writers birth their words. She is a certified life coach, works as a writing coach and as a coach for women who are Starting Over Single. Thesman is the mother of an adult son, and she enjoys reading, gardening and cooking - especially anything with blueberries. Thesman lives in the heart of Kansas with her son and an elderly cat. 00:30:00GelatisScoopnoRJ Thesman,Intermission for Reverend G,The Unraveling of Reverend G,Christian Fiction,Assisted LivingThree months after a fire ripped through Cove Creek Assisted Living Facility, repairs are complete, but even as Reverend G and her cat, Gabriel move back into thttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2014/08/13/julia-roller-lynette-sowellBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2014/08/13/julia-roller-lynette-sowell/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2014/08/13/julia-roller-lynette-sowellWed, 13 Aug 2014 14:30:00 GMTJulia Roller & Lynette Sowell!Julia Roller:The first months and years of motherhood can be the most challenging and disorienting of your life—and faith. When you’re surrounded by the happy chaos of children, how do you spend quiet time with God if the only quiet time you get is while you sleep? How can you demonstrate a solid spiritual life to your children if you don’t have time to pursue one yourself? When Julia Roller discovered that her spiritual growth had been stunted by the busyness of life with her toddler, she embarked on a yearlong journey through ten spiritual disciplines: prayer, fellowship, submission, study, simplicity, silence, worship, fasting, service, and celebration. As she focused on each discipline, she discovered practical ways to observe them—even in the chaos of her every day. Mom Seeks God offers a highly relatable story and useful advice to help new moms grow in their faith as they address life changes with grace, patience, and prayer. As readers discover ten essential faith practices, they’ll learn that motherhood, itself, is a spiritual discipline, and may be God’s most effective technique for forming a more Christ-like life. Lynette Sowell is the award-winning author of twenty titles for Barbour, Heartsong Presents, and Abingdon Press. Her work has finaled and won ACFW's Carol Award and has appeared on the ECPA best-seller list. When Lynette's not writing, she spends her time chasing down news stories for her local newspaper. Lynette was born in Massachusetts, raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but makes her home on the doorstep of the Texas hill country with her husband, C.J., a zany Aussie-blue heeler mix, and a duo of cats who have them well-trained.

After earning BA and MA degrees in history at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, he returned to East Asia with his wife to work as a teacher for nearly two decades, first in Japan and then Korea, ending in 2007 as an associate professor of English at Yonsei University in Seoul. He additionally served for three years as head of Yonsei’s 3,000-student Communicative English Department, and as publications chairman and editor for the Royal Asiatic Society, Korea Branch. He continues to serve as general editor of the Society’s annual journal Transactions, the oldest Korean studies journal in the world, published since 1900. It was in Japan in the early 1990s that Samuel started writing for magazines and newspapers on topics ranging from Japanese fashion and international travel to the world of sumo wrestling, daimyo clocks and fishing at urban tsuribori. By the late ‘90s he had turned his attention to books. His most notable work from this period is The Imjin War (co-published by the Royal Asiatic Society, Seoul and the Insitute of East Asian Studies, UC Berkeley, 2005) the most comprehensive account in English of Japan’s sixteenth-century invasion of Korea and attempted conquest of China, an event of seismic importance in the history of East Asia. He next focused on US Navy ensign and American diplomat George C. Foulk, Washington’s representative in Seoul at the time of Korea’s opening to the West. Foulk, one of the first Westerners to learn to speak Korean and to travel extensively in the country, was perhaps the foremost Western expert at the time on the “Hermit Kingdom." Hawley's interest in Foulk resulted in two books, America's Man in Korea, and Inside the Hermit Kingdom (both Lexington Books, 2007).   00:34:00GelatisScoopnoSamuel Hawley,Bad Elephant Far Stream,Fiction,Non-Fiction,Hermit KingdomSamuel Hawley was born and grew up in South Korea, the son of missionary parents.

Together we have nine beautiful children (three daughters and six sons) and have pioneered a non-denominational Christian church called The King's Chapel in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. I have loved reading, creating stories, and writing since I was a young girl, and was told that my name "Melanie" was a form of the Greek word for "ink"--- a name I hoped would be prophetic. Although I majored in English and taught high school before having our family, I put writing on the back burner of our busy lives for many years. When my youngest son was old enough for our home-school kindergarten, I had the miraculous adventure of attending a conference on C.S. Lewis at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities which inspired me to begin writing travel articles and eventually my series of historical/romance novels, The Oxford Chronicles. Since then I have returned to the UK numerous times for conferences, research, and even as a tour guide and leader.

So, here’s the unauthorized bio. Here’s the stuff you want to know and don’t want to know about me. My favorite color is blue. I like pralines ‘n’ cream ice cream. I’m on the church choir, but I really can’t sing. God bless my choir director and pastor. I was always a writer, but I wasn’t always into Christian Fiction. Poetry was actually my forte and my first love when it came to writing. I was born on a major holiday, which sucked as a kid, got progressively better as I grew up, and now it is just another day. I’ve always dreamed of becoming an author and now with confidence I can quote Matthew 6:33 which says that if we seek the kingdom of God first, and his righteousness, everything will be added unto us. If you want to know more about me send in your questions and if they’re not on the wild side I’ll certainly entertain you.  If you’re looking for the traditional author’s bio scroll way, way down on the bottom for the polished version. Want more of me, my antics, and my Jesus? Then join me on Facebook and on Instrgram at NewNigeria.

These four amazing authors have brought that to life.     The Declaration of Independence series asks all of us that one soul searching question. If you were rich, if signing meant defying the world’s superpower, if failure meant your family would be left destitute and you would be hung by the neck with your hands tied behind your back until you strangled to death, would you have signed The Declaration of Independence?  Would you have risked your privileged life so that others might live in freedom? That was the question facing John Hancock and in the face of overwhelming odds he answered, “Yes.” “We must all hang together,” Hancock said, before almost choking on his disastrous choice of words. Men’s faces clouded. They realized they stood on the brink, but could still step back. As had so often been the case, it was Benjamin Franklin who saved him, who saved us all.             “Yes, we must indeed all hang together,” Franklin replied in an equally loud voice. He took a moment to push his spectacles up his nose. “. . . or most assuredly we shall hang separately.”             The hall burst into surprised laughter. Men now smiled, grimly perhaps, but they lined up and took their turn, signing the most important document in the history of the world. Only Franklin, Hancock thought to himself.             00:38:00GelatisScoopnoWould you have signed?

I wrote my first story - it was a western - when I was five. It was really awful, as might be expected, but my mother kept that typed and spell-checked (my mother again) short story tucked away until the day she died. Later I became a newspaper reporter, thinking that books are written by authors which I most assuredly was not. I kept trying to write though, eventually did it wrong enough to learn how to get it right. That first sale, a young adult novel published by Independence Press, was more than thirty years and a good many books ago and I have loved every day since. Did I mention how very blessed I am? Believe it. As a journalist, the Colorado Press Association awarded Frank their highest award, the Sweepstakes Award, for the best news story of 1980,and the Western Writers of America has twice named Frank recipient of their prestigious Spur Award. 00:27:00GelatisScoopnoFrank Roderus,Westerns,Action & Adventure,Suspense,Men's AdventureI am truly blessed to be able to make a living doing what I love so very much to do.

Narration by George starts off the show and then Cindy Noonan drops in at the half way point.Here is a little bit about both guests: Narration by George: As the son of an author/artist father and an author/actress mother, I inherited a love for the written and spoken word.  It is my passion to bring words to life; to make them meaningful to the listener; to have them express the most meaningful feelings, concepts, and actions.  I do that with my voice. I have spent my adult life communicating ideas and concepts, teaching about products and ideas with positions in sales, sales management, retail management, and customer service.  I’ve done this for major and minor corporations and as a U.S. Government employee. Now, it is time to put these talents and experiences to use in my new venture, Narration by George.  It is my desire to voice the books of Christian authors; books of all types – fiction, non-fiction, children’s.    Cindy Noonan has researched Underground Railroad history in Pennsylvania and New York and has included many authentic sites and characters in DARK ENOUGH TO SEE THE STARS. She resides in Northeast Pennsylvania with her husband of forty-five years, Frank. After raising five children, they now enjoy time with their nine grandkids, especially at the beach. Parents, are you looking for an exciting read for boys ten to thirteen? Look no further. Boys won't want to put down this story of twelve-year-old slave Moses and his quest for freedom. Teachers, add some adventure to your curriculum. DARK ENOUGH TO SEE THE STARS will make learning about the Underground Railroad exciting for any middle grade or junior high student.

Jeschke & Michelle Trostle !Melanie M. Jeschke starts off the show today @ 12:30PMEST and then Michelle Trostle jumps in @1PMEST! Here is a little bit about each author:I was born in the North (Pittsburgh, PA) and grew up in the South (Richmond, VA), attending the University of Virginia where I met my husband of thirty years, Bill Jeschke. Together we have nine beautiful children (three daughters and six sons) and have pioneered a non-denominational Christian church called The King's Chapel in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. I have loved reading, creating stories, and writing since I was a young girl, and was told that my name "Melanie" was a form of the Greek word for "ink"--- a name I hoped would be prophetic. Although I majored in English and taught high school before having our family, I put writing on the back burner of our busy lives for many years. When my youngest son was old enough for our home-school kindergarten, I had the miraculous adventure of attending a conference on C.S. Lewis at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities which inspired me to begin writing travel articles and eventually my series of historical/romance novels, The Oxford Chronicles. Since then I have returned to the UK numerous times for conferences, research, and even as a tour guide and leader. I was thrilled when budget travel guru Rick Steves asked me to contribute a chapter on Oxford to his new "England 2006" guide book. Michelle L. Trostle is a certified reading specialist, teacher, and school administrator with a Masters of Education degree in Reading and Language Arts. Michelle has thirteen years of experience in public education working with students and teachers from kindergarten through grade twelve. She is especially passionate about fostering a love of reading in the hearts of her students. In her free time, she enjoys crafting, gardening and spending time with family and friends. 01:01:00GelatisScoopnoMelanie M.

Inspired by the endearing, true-to-life movie MOMS’ NIGHT OUT, comedian Kerri Pomarolli has created this light, yet inspiring devotional that will definitely make you laugh, but will also help you discover that indeed you are not alone, and that God’s gracious provision of love and faithfulness is at work in your life and of your loved ones. Whether you’re running full-speed-ahead or disappointed that it’s Monday (again), you’ll find joy in these devotions where Kerri shares hilarious stories and insights on daily life. Messy homes, messy kids, lost pets, never ending casseroles, forgetful husbands, and the desire to just take a long bath… This world can be a funny place, and these stories are bound to prove it. Read a devotion to brighten your morning, or catch a few words to make you smile before bed. There’s never a bad time for a good laugh, and as a Mom, you need a Moms' Night Out and Other Things I Miss: Devotions To Help You Survive. Anne Baxter Campbell:Anne Baxter Campbell is a writer with a deep love of God, family, and friends. She also has an overwhelming fascination with the Bible and biblical history that would surprise her history teachers who could tell this girl wasn't exactly enthused about anything other than the present. Add to that a basically romantic bent, and there you go.   00:39:00GelatisScoopnoKerri Pomarelli,Anne Baxter Campbell,Christian Non-Fiction,Christian Fiction,DevotionalsKerri Pomarolli starts the show off at 10.30AMEST and Anne Baxter Campbell joins in at 11AMEST to take the show home!

The year is 39 BC. All of Alexandria awaits the arrival of Herod, the Galilean governor with his eye on the Judean kingship. The handmaid of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, receives a troubling visit from her aging mentor. An orphan since birth, Lydia lives in the palace at the demand of Cleopatra and her royal child, the son of Julius Caesar. But Lydia has a growing problem on her hands: her beauty is becoming a liability to the aging queen, and the visiting Herod’s undisguised interest only makes matters worse. When Lydia’s mentor is murdered, the handmaid inherits a daunting task. An ancient set of sealed scrolls, the secret writings of the prophet Daniel, must be returned to Jerusalem—before those who killed her mentor destroy the scrolls as well. The future of the Israelites depends on it. So Lydia leaves the palace to serve as lady’s maid to Herod’s wife in the Holy City. As Lydia is absorbed into the machinations of Herod’s household, her mission— and her people’s hope of a Messianic King—are endangered at every turn.

That document – they tore what I wrote apart. I must talk to Ben Franklin and John Adams. They have to persuade the Continental Congress to restore my original wording before the delegates sign it. And so the saga begins.

Best- Selling author Murray Pura also includes recipes for Corn Bread and Colonial Braised Rabbit with “Volume 1 – Thomas Jefferson”. Fast Fact- There is something written on the back of the Declaration of Independence. There is a simple message, written upside-down across the bottom of the signed document: “Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776.” No one knows who exactly wrote this or when, but during the Revolutionary War years the parchment was frequently rolled up for transport.

Graduating at the top of his class as an engineer, he worked for ten years building roads, bridges and fortifications. He was engaged to marry, EMMALINE ADELMAN, the daughter of COL. AUBREY ADELMAN. She is the apple of her father’s eye and of Sam’s as well. Sam thought he had it all. Then in 1841 without warning he was placed under arrest and quickly convicted of the murder of a family on the raw frontier of the Republic of Texas. He was sent to a succession of prisons, the last being Castillo de San Marcos at St. Augustine, FL where conditions were brutal. Inmates were fed slop, whipped or beaten often. At night they were chained to the floor and given cotton pallets instead of beds. Escape was thought to be impossible. But Sam did manage to escape after ten years of confinement. He took his chains with him, and carries them in his saddlebags. He will not rest until he has found those responsible for his fall from grace.

From Marie Barone (Everyone Loves Raymond) to Viola Fields (Monster-in-Law) to Internet sites and social media pages like ihatemyinlaws.com and a Facebook page for ihatemymotherinlaw there is no shortage of examples of the caustic relationships that can develop between the two women in a man’s life. Deb DeArmond and her three daughters-in-law have conducted their own exhaustive research into the status of the women-in-law relationship. Their research, which incorporated online surveys, interviews, and discussions, included asking about the faith factor in the relationships they studied. Of the respondents, nearly 90 percent claimed they were Christians, and 79 percent said their faith was foundational and guided their actions and decisions. Beyond the statistics and their analysis, Deb brings to this book more than thirty years working with adults to improve communications and deal constructively with conflict. Aside from her research and her professional expertise, perhaps the most important asset Deb brings to this work is her own relationship with her three daughters-in-law that is so obviously and unusually positive that she—and they—are often asked to explain the secret of the relationships they share. This practical and unapologetically scriptural book covers issues of personal perceptions, strained communication, the roles of sons and fathers in the relationship’s success, how to begin these relationships on the right foot, and the necessity of trust and love. Deb’s one motivating objective is to help womenin- law move from women who are simply related to strong and confident members of a truly spiritual family. 00:37:00GelatisScoopnoDeb DeArmond,Related by Chance Family by Choice,Families,Christian Non-Fiction,Family CounselingThe caricatures are everywhere, the jokes are inexhaustible, and the stereotypes fill the screens.

It reports on the legal defense of the prime suspect, how victims are coping and the broader social implications of the bombings. In a note to the reader, the author writes, “Although this book focuses on the April 15, 2013 bombings at the Boston Marathon, its victims and the prosecution of the prime suspect, it is equally about “lone wolf” terrorists. Lone wolves refer to terrorists who plot their attacks alone, usually with no organization to support them and no official links to violent groups. There is almost no way to know their next target until they strike. U.S. intelligence agencies call them perhaps the biggest terrorist threat to the United States and its allies.” “But before the race was over, few people cared who won or lost. Boston’s Patriots Day, a day of festivities to celebrate the American Revolution, was about to become the latest nightmare in America’s ongoing war on terrorism…” “The pungent smell of gunpowder hung in the air while shrapnel, ball bearings and nails littered the streets near the blast sites. Spectators left behind backpacks, cell phones and handmade signs with runners’ names. Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital later treated one patient whose body had been pierced by 12 carpenter’s nails.” A Mangled Marathon was written by veteran journalist and Washington, D.C., lawyer Tom Ramstack. He has reported on court cases for much of his three decades career as a journalist as well as defended a few criminal defendants. 00:26:00GelatisScoopnoTom Ramstack,A Mangled Marathon,Boston Marathon Bombing,Terrorism,Non-Fiction“To victims of terrorism whose innocence was ripped out of them with the unseeing heartlessness of bomb shrapnel.” A Mangled Marathon takes reports of the 2013http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2014/04/14/peter-sklivasthe-secret-of-enduring-love-yoga-romance-of-damayanti-and-nalaBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2014/04/14/peter-sklivasthe-secret-of-enduring-love-yoga-romance-of-damayanti-and-nala/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2014/04/14/peter-sklivasthe-secret-of-enduring-love-yoga-romance-of-damayanti-and-nalaMon, 14 Apr 2014 15:00:00 GMTPeter Sklivas,"The Secret of Enduring Love: Yoga Romance of Damayanti and Nala"Author Peter Sklivas has practised yoga and meditation for more thant 30 years.

When Zach abandoned his promising legal career, it confused everyone, including himself. Now, with no apparent purpose in life, he has time enough on his hands to get into some very hot water. Matthew Arkin is a critically acclaimed actor, an acting teacher, and a recovering attorney. He attributes his skill for crafting dialogue and creating characters to his more than forty-five years of experience on stage, television, and film, and to reading approximately one suspense thriller per week since he was a young child. Following the advice of one of his moms, author Barbara Dana, to "write what you know," Arkin created Zach Brandis and the novel In the Country of the Blind. Like Zach, Arkin gave up a career as a lawyer. Like Zach, he was born, raised, went to law school, and spent most of his life in and around New York City. It is his love affair with the city, as well as his experiences as a former attorney and victim of cult abuse, that allow him to approach Zach's story with such a high degree of depth and realism.

Betsy Chasse thought she had it all figured out...until she realized she didn’t. She didn’t know anything about happiness, love, spirituality, or herself...nothing, nada, zilch. In a book that’s anything but quiet, Chasse takes readers on a playful romp through the muddy fields of life and spirituality. Witty, yet unflinching, Chasse exposes her own experience tipping sacred cows and dissects the fragile beliefs we all hold so dear. Because the truth is, we each have a choice to believe the stories we tell ourselves or create new ones. A candid, no-nonsense confession, Chasse’s story gives readers the freedom to break free from their old patterns and gleefully frolic through fields, cow tipping at will and in the process, create a new reality for themselves. 00:01:00GelatisScoopnoBetsy Chasse,Spiritual,Personal Transformation,Personal GrowthWife, mother, and award-winning producer of the sleeper hit What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Thye will not only be discussing the series itself and their involvement in it, but reading the entire origin story - "Volume 1 - Jailbreak" in it's entirety. Here is what "Jailbreak" is all about: SAMUEL J. WINCHESTERis an escaped convict, wanted by the law for murder, but once he was an officer and a gentleman. Winchester was an 1831 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point NY. Graduating at the top of his class as an engineer, he worked for ten years building roads, bridges and fortifications. He was engaged to marry, EMMALINE ADELMAN, the daughter of COL.  AUBREY ADELMAN. She is the apple of her father’s eye and of Sam’s as well. Sam thought he had it all. Then in 1841 without warning he was placed under arrest and quickly convicted of the murder of a family on the raw frontier of the Republic of Texas. He was sent to a succession of prisons, the last being Castillo de San Marcos at St. Augustine, FL where conditions were brutal. Inmates were fed slop, whipped or beaten often. At night they were chained to the floor and given cotton pallets instead of beds. Escape was thought to be impossible. But Sam did manage to escape after ten years of confinement. He took his chains with him, and carries them in his saddlebags. He will not rest until he has found those responsible for his fall from grace. He intends to batter them with the length of chain, each and every one of them, however many there might be.   00:58:00GelatisScoopnoThe Outlaw Unchained,High Noon Press,The old West,Western Short Story,Historical FictionThe author team of Remington Colt's "The Outlaw Unchained" series,Big Jim Williams,CQ Scafidi,William Tasch,Jerry Guin and Clay Dolan,will be my guests today.

I have a special love for the tropics--jungles and beaches--which is reflected in both my novels and personal life. (In the form of hobbies like breeding parrots, growing orchids, and keeping saltwater reef aquariums.) I travel widely, striving to write about the places I visit in a way that will make readers feel they've been there too. I've always seen this world as a place of wonder, surpassed only by the people who inhabit it and it's divine Creator. About "Hummingbird": She feels like a misfit. Who is she? Where does she belong? Is she Lexa, Alexandra, or someone else? Forced to commit a crime, she flees south of the Border--and a vindictive bounty hunter follows her. Will she escape? Find redemption? Learn who she really is and where she belongs? The answer lies hidden in a tiny seaside village where wandering hummingbirds rest their wings. About "Encouragment Explosion": Encouragement. We all need it, because we all face challenges. “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us,” but sometimes we need reminding, and that’s what this book is all about. Each of these hundred-twenty daily devotionals unveils a specific positive Bible promise, assuring you that God’s got your back and you’re going to win this battle, thanks to Him “who always causes us to triumph.” 00:50:00GelatisScoopnoDavid Stearman,Chistian Suspense,Devotionals,Westerns,HummingbirdI'm a songwriter/recording artist/novelist, who specializes in adventure stories set in exotic locales.

Bergen, author of "Glittering Promises"Wealth cannot buy peace … or direction.   For Cora Kensington, the Grand Tour was to be the trip of a lifetime. She discovered the family she never knew she had, and may have even found the love she longs for in Will. And yet her life has just become infinitely more challenging …    Hounded by journalists chasing the beguiling story of the newest American heiress, Cora fights to remain true to her past, reconcile her present, and still embrace her future. But as Will struggles with her newfound wealth, she begins to wonder if their love is strong enough to withstand all that threatens to pull them apart.   Complicating matters is the stubborn pursuit of Pierre de Richelieu and the increased demands on her time and attention. Cora must stand up for what she believes—regardless of how that might challenge current family and cultural norms—in order to remain true to who she really is.   And as she glimpses the end of the tour, Cora knows it’s time to decide Who and what defines her … and who and what does not.

This much-anticipated climax to the Edge of Freedom series promises to be a riveting conclusion with high stakes for the characters readers have come to love.   It's been two years since Tillie McGrath last saw Captain Keondric Morgan. He'd let her visit her ill fiancé before he died. Now the dashing captain has found her at the boarding house where she lives and has swept back into her life. But all is not well. He seems to be trying to protect her--from whom or what stays a secret.   Even years later, Keondric never forgot the heartbroken lass from his boat. When a crewmember's death-bed confession hints that her fiancé's death may have been murder, the captain knows he must try to save her. But his attention draws the notice of others as well, dangerous men who believe Tillie may have the last bit of evidence needed to put them away. And trying to stay safe may put them both in more danger than they could have ever imagined. Elizabeth Ludwig is an award-winning author and an accomplished speaker and teacher.

I grew up on the Columbia River Gorge in a tiny cabin built by my father. After high school, I left the Gorge area to attend Northwest University, where I graduated with the first group of students to earn a bachelor's of psychology. My goal was to become a marriage and family therapist because I had seen too many families torn apart. I wanted to join the ranks of great counselors like Kevin Leman and Gary Smalley. Instead, I'm now, after years of hard work, a published author. I don't think I'll be going back to graduate school any time soon!

After writing 4 non-fiction books and almost 500 articles, she woke up one day with a novel in her head. That novel became "The Unraveling of Reverend G." Thesman enjoys teaching writing workshops and helping writers birth their words. She is a certified life coach, works as a writing coach and as a coach for women who are Starting Over Single. When Reverend G hears the devastating diagnosis — dementia with the possibility of early-onset Alzheimer’s — she struggles with the pain of forgetting those she loves and the fear of losing her connection with God. With the help of her friends at the assisted living facility, Bert, a farmer from Oklahoma, Roxie, the stressed-out activities director and Gabriel, a cat with the gift of forecasting death, she soon discovers there’s humor to be found in forgetting part of the Lord’s Prayer, finding her iron in the freezer and losing a half-gallon of ice cream. And she discovers that while the question she wants to ask is, ‘Why,’ the answer really is, ‘Who.’ A FINALIST FOR GRACE AWARDS Applause for THE UNRAVELING OF REVEREND G: From the opening pages of THE UNRAVELING OF REVEREND G, RJ Thesman grips the readers in a poignant and humorous tale of a minister facing Alzheimer’s. Told in the first person, Reverend G—Gertrude, a name she hates—relates her path to forgetfulness while never forgetting the One who made us all. The tale will make the reader laugh at the outlandish things Reverend G does, cry over her increasing loss of memory and rejoice in how God still uses her despite her disability. Even when she must live in an assisted living facility, Reverend G hears from God and ministers, and even finds romance once again. ~ Grace Awards 2012 Women's Fiction Judges Team 00:40:00GelatisScoopnoRJ Thesman,Christian Non-Fiction,Dementia,Alzeheimer's Disease,Certified Life CoachRJ Thesman has been a writer since she flipped open her Red Chief tablet and scribbled her first story.

Scudiere, author of "The Shadow Constant"It's A.J.'s world. A strange place where patterns jump out and catch the eye, little is missed, and most of it can be recalled with a deep breath; it's different from the world the rest of us inhabit. But the rest of us can experience it--when we read. In this world, the smell of Florida takes three weeks to fully leave the senses and the air in Dallas is so thick that the planes "sink" to the runways rather than actually landing. For A.J., texture reigns supreme. Whether it's air or blood or virus, it can be felt and smelled. Reality is always a little bit off from the norm and something usually lurks right under the surface. As a storyteller, A.J. loves irony, the unexpected, and a puzzle where all the pieces fit and make sense. Originally a scientist and a teacher, the writer says research is always a key player in the stories. AJ's motto is "It could happen. It wouldn't. But it could." A.J. has lived in Florida and Los Angeles among a handful of other places. Recent whims have brought the dark writer to Tennessee, where home is a deceptively normal-looking neighborhood just outside Nashville. www.AJScudiere.com www.AJsAudioMovies.com AJ can be contacted at: aj@ajscudiere.com AJ Scudiere is published by Griffyn Ink Publishing 00:47:00GelatisScoopnoAJ Scudiere,Fiction,Action,Suspense,ThrillerIt's A.J.'s world.

LInda Wood Rondeau:A native of Central New York, Linda Rondeau graduated from North Syracuse High School and later Houghton College. She moved to Northern New York where she met and married Steve Rondeau, her best friend in life, and managed a career in human services before tackling professional writing. After thirty-four years she and her husband have relocated to Jacksonville, Florida to start a new adventure...leaving rural America to live in a city of one million. Of course, the more favorable temperatures allow her to follow another great passion--golf. While writing is her greatest passion, the author takes even greater pride in being a wife of one patient man, the mother of three, and the grandmother of nine. James J. Griffin:  While a native New Englander, James J. Griffin developed an interest in the frontier west, particularly the Texas Rangers, at an early age. He grew to be an avid student and amateur historian of the Rangers, and a collector of Ranger artifacts and memorabilia. His collection is now part of the permanent collections and on display at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco. Jim's quest for authenticity in his writing has taken him to the famous old West towns of Pecos, Deadwood, Cheyenne, Tombstone, and numerous others. While Jim's stories are fiction, he strives to keep them as accurate as possible within the realm of fiction. Jim is a member of Western Writers of America and Western Fictioneers. 01:00:00GelatisScoopnoLinda Wood Rondeau,James J.

His most significant life achievement was persuading college classmate Verna Stoltzfus to marry him in 1974. They now have eight children. Steve’s books and other writings began with his longtime friendship with Joni Eareckson Tada. As teenagers, they grappled with why God allowed Joni’s paralysis in a swimming accident in the Chesapeake Bay. Steve left for college . . . they kept in touch . . . she liked the style of his letters. When her 1976 autobiography Joni spawned thousands of reader responses, she asked Steve to join her in crafting a follow-up. The result was A Step Further in 1978. Later, Wycliffe Bible Translators commissioned Steve to write the biography of former college friend Chet Bitterman, a Wycliffe linguist who was kidnapped and murdered by political terrorists in Colombia in 1981. Other books and articles followed.

Based on Medhus’s wildly popular blog, Channeling Erik, My Son and the Afterlife provides answers to the most universal questions of being human.

The move took quite well and Carolyne learned to milk cows, herd cows, drive a tractor, can, freeze, garden, bake, cook and preserve. She and her husband raised four wonderful children and took in numerous foster children. Somewhere along the way Carolyne decided she wanted to recreate her own version of the romance novels she loved reading. In her writing she yearns to show redemption and change and the chance to start over. Coming home to faith and love is a thread that is woven through every story she writes. Christine Lindsay writes Christian historical novels with strong love stories such as her debut novel SHADOWED IN SILK which is set in India during a turbulent era. Christine's long-time fascination with the British Raj was seeded from stories of her Irish ancestors who served in the British Cavalry in Colonial India. CAPTURED BY MOONLIGHT is Book 2 in this series Twilight of the British Raj. SHADOWED IN SILK was the recipient of the 2009 ACFW Genesis for Christian Historical, the overall winner of the 2011 Grace Award in the category Adventure/Action/Epic, and was a finalist in the 2012 Readers' Favorite Award. Be sure to watch the book trailer for CAPTURED BY MOONLIGHT, and turn up the volume on your computer. The music is wonderful. Adding to Christine's Irish pride is the fact that her great-grandfather and her grandfather both worked as riveters in the Belfast shipyard and one of the ships they built was the Titanic. The Pacific coast of Canada is Christine's home, and like a lot of writers, her cat is her chief editor.   01:01:00GelatisScoopnoCarolyne Aarsen,Christine Lindsay,Christian Fiction,Christian Romance,Historical RomanceA transplanted city girl, Carolyne moved to the country when her fiancee and now husband, decided he wanted to farm.

Roger spent the first eighteen years of his life in northern Indiana, in the middle of Amish country. His father was the only doctor for a small town of a little over a thousand people, and had a hitching rail on a side street by his office for the Amish patients. His father bought an eighty acre farm, and Roger and his older brother worked it, raising cattle and growing crops. While he was still in high school, Roger learned woodworking skills from Elmer Schlabach, his Amish mentor. They built houses in the old-fashioned tradition; hand-mixing the concrete for the foundations to building kitchen cabinets in Elmer's well equipped shop. To this day, Roger enjoys using his wood crafting skills, making acoustic guitars and furniture. Roger earned an undergraduate degree in Behavioral Psychology from a small private college in the Shenandoah Valley, took a Creative Writing class, loved it, and published a short story called "My Brother." He was a regular contributing writer to the college newspaper. After nearly thirty years living in Austin, Texas, watching it grow into a large city, Roger and his wife Ginny moved to a small farm in the Pacific Northwest.   00:53:00GelatisScoopnoRoger Rheinheimer,Amish Fiction,Christian Romance,Amish Romance,Christian FictionRoger spent the first eighteen years of his life in northern Indiana, in the middle of Amish country.

I've had what you could call an eclectic work career. I've been a pizza-parlor busboy, bowling alley attendent, journalist, medical equipment salesman, Army officer and owner/breeder/insurer of race horses. It's been an interesting life. I grew up in a small California town that turned into a large one I hardly recognize, and frequently get lost in when I visit. I'm a proud graduate of the University of Oregon (I really enjoyed my third sophomore year) with a degree that makes me really good on Jeopardy but is pretty much totally worthless in any other setting. I write because I can't fathom a life without doing do. Today, I live in Southern Maryland with my wife.
