LONGWOOD, FL--In the time of Jesus, the question was asked: "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" (John 1:46). Jesus dwelled in a city in Galilee that was referred to as a place of scorn and ridicule. In the same context, author Mary Ruth Turner asks, "Can anything good come from the life of a worm?" in her new Xulon Press book, ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60957-871-8). This book reveals that Jesus blessed mankind by sacrificing His life so that all humanity could live, including the lowly, meek, less fortunate, and despicable "worms" of society. The author seeks to show how, through faith in God, one can be victorious and endure any adverse circumstances.
"Jesus said, 'But many that are first shall be last; and the last first,'" the author says. "So don't worry about why you may not receive any recognition for the work you do in this lifetime. The reward is far beyond 'time.' It is eternal, for God has laid up a crown of righteousness for those who have kept the faith."
Mary Ruth Turner is an ordained minister of the gospel, outreach minister, and healthcare administrator who is dedicated to the cause of defining and improving human conditions, whether health-related (body), behavioral (soul), or spiritual (spirit). "I assist individuals in their efforts to understand the past, confront important issues in the present, and shape a promising future," she explains.
