Book Holds Universal Appeal for Muslim and Christian Readers
What do you get when you combine a Christian pharmacist, Qur'an scholar, pre-med university grad, and Lebanese seeker? Sparkling reviews! Author P.D. Bramsen's book, One God One Message, has been critically lauded by people from every walk of life. Weaving together real-life illustrations, e-mail excerpts from Muslims and others, and more than a thousand verses from Scripture, the book uses the first four chapters of the Bible as a key to unlock the reader's interest and understanding in the greatest story ever told. Aimed at communicating God's message to Muslims, the book's broad appeal is what has made it such a smash hit so far. Says one reviewer, "This is definitely the kind of book that I feel completely comfortable giving away to all of my Muslim friends. It covers all the bases in a very appealing, honest, direct, and loving way. It's very well done. Let's do our best to spread this one around." |

University Professor Backs Halza's Revelation Exposition
Slovakian-born author Miroslav Halza recently received a glowing review for his book, The Chronology of Revelation, which succinctly explains the future climate of world events as they relate to the church, Israel, the world, and God's kingdom. Developed within global, political, cultural, and religious events, this exposition of Revelation is like no other, claims the critic. Professor ThDr. Jan Ligus, Ph.D. of Univerzita Karlova v Praze had this to say about Halza's book: "Any man can find in this presented study a lot of inspiration, a lot of spiritual encouragement for one's faith, and mainly [the ability] to cope personally with the Bible." |

Word Spreads About Book 14 Years in the Making
Rick Gowdy has climbed the ladder of success all the way to the top with his Agape Love, How Important Is It Anyhow? A book 14 years in the making, it stemmed from the fact that the author could not realize why biblical godly love was not being taught thoroughly as a doctrine. He was included in an article of the Canon City Daily Record and made an appearance at Words of Life Christian Book Store in his hometown of Canon City. Despite his powerhouse success, nothing could prepare him for the recent death of his wife of 20 years. "She taught me far more about how to love than all I have ever studied," says Gowdy. "To say she was my example would be an understatement." |

Author's Book Sales Skyrocket Amid Local Exposure
Just as radio evangelist Charles Stanley described how a person on a camping trip with a camera sees things differently from a person without a camera, a person with Diana Crews' City on a Hill Prayer Journal will see their life in such a different manner that they can't help but focus on God. As the author toured her home state of Alabama doing publicity work, she found this to be the case in her readers' responses. So far, Crews has held a book signing at Dove's Christian Supply Store in Dothan where, to her delight, all remaining copies of her book sold like hotcakes. Dove's other store in Enterprise was also sold out. The author, who has interviewed with Ann Varnum of WTVY Dothan and plans a future book signing at The Lighthouse in Auburn-Opelika, attributes all her success to one source: "I thank God for the work He is doing as this is truly His book." |
