We always say that on matters of doctrine, we let the Bible be it's own witness. We usually don't accept something as Doctrine if there isn't at least one or two scriptures to back up the main scriptures we base them on. Know what I mean? But that happens with more than just teaching. It works with reassurance too. The 'Tears in a Skinbottle' is one of my favorite verses, but I never put them together with the others. That's where years of Bible Reading and study pays off. We are blessed to be in a time when a reassuring conversation can cross oceans and continents until they find people who need to hear them.

A little something from the sci-fi section...

I figure enough time has passed to make Amazon happy, so the Blog now includes the whole book, free of charge. Chapter One: Just Rumors Chapter Two: "What Happens Now?!" Chapter Three: Not Going Anywhere Chapter Four: Not Everyone Agrees Chapter Five: Testing The Limits Chapter Six: Apostasy Chapter Seven: Something New Chapter Eight: Nothing More Human Chapter Nine: The Crucible Chapter Ten: Time Conquers All Chapter Eleven: Swords Into Plowshares Chapter Twelve: How Many Miracles? Epilogue Of course, if you'd like to support the Author, please do tell others who might be interested, or make a purchase on Amazon. It helps with the algorithms, if nothing else. Since the book is now posted for free in it's entirety, I also declare this thread to be 'Spoiler Territory'. Feel free to talk about the books openly here. (Please. Because when I go too long between publishing a new book and hearing something from the people who've read it, a part of me is convinced I've messed something up completely.

So, the Paperback is now ready to go. Another day for the Webcrawlers, and I'll put it all up on the Blog. My thanks to everyone who's purchased it so far. I hope you're enjoying it.

Well, a little sooner than I planned. Amazon always says 'Up To 72 Hours' to publish, but you never know where in that 72 Hours' it will arrive. The Sake Of My Name is now available for Kindle on Amazon. *** Oskar doesn't know how the world changed so fast. One moment he was living a normal life, and the next, he was a prisoner of the Nazi's. His daughter has been taken from him, and his life before the Camp is barely a memory. His only Crime is following his faith, and refusing to fight in a War that has consumed the world. Thousands of years before, a man named Takarut is living a similar situation. He has rejected the teachings, and gods of his youth in Egypt, to follow Israel on their path to freedom; in service to Jehovah God. And yet, at the very entrance to the Promised Land, his new people changed their minds. Both men will have to endure the most unexpected of trials. Neither of them know what will come next, or how long it might last. Both men have only the support of those in the same situation, and the hope that their faith gives them; as they both attempt to endure the greatest challenge of their lives *** For those of you who aren't buying from the US Amazon store, it'll get there in another day or so. The Paperback version will follow. It's already set up, but usually takes a while to upload to all International Amazon Stores. If you're a regular follower, you'll know that I need to wait a few days before I put the text up for free on the blog, or Amazon's webcrawlers will accuse me of plagiarizing myself. (I know, but it's happened before.) Enjoy!

Between the Verses is a series that each tells a 'Bible Time' and a 'Modern' story, side by side, for comparison purposes. The modern sides aren't that chronological, and follow different people. The Bible Time half of the story is most chronological, starting with Genesis. 1) Written Beforehand: Noah's Time. 2) In My integrity: Joseph's time. 3) The Whole Truth: Moses's first confrontation with the King, and The First Plague of Egypt. 4) You Will Know: The Plagues, and the Exodus. 5) Walking To Paradise: The Red Sea to the Golden Calf. 6) He Will Call: Job's story. 7) The Sake of My Name: The 40 Year Exile in the Wilderness.

Coming, June 21st.

https://www.newsweek.com/catholic-church-excommunicate-priests-following-new-us-state-law-2069039 Washington State now has a 'Must Report' law with regards to Child Abuse cases. The Church has forbidden their Priests from doing so. When Children are in danger, it overrides Doctor/Patient privilege, Spousal Privilege, Attorney/Client privilege, but not the Confessional. So there's the first showdown for the first American Pope to deal with. Likely won't be the last.

Go for the Silver Medal, that's me. 😁 The other books are a difficult question. The fact that audio-AI is in 'Beta Phase' means there will almost certainly be changes (and hopefully improvements) in the future. Making an ebook into an audiobook isn't difficult, just hugely time consuming. I'm hesitant to invest so much time in all of them if there's going to be an inherently better version available in a month or two. Of course, I have no idea how long the Beta phase will last. Could be a week, could be a year. As a result, no decision has been made yet.

Doesn't look like it. It's a beta feature, but it's annoying for me too, as I'm an Aussie shopper too. I don't even have a 'preview file' beyond the editor.

After getting word from Amazon, apparently it's not available anywhere but Audible/Amazon.com; and least while in beta. Annoying to me as well, as I'm an AU shopper, but I'll admit the bulk of my readers are on the 'home' directory. Sorry.

No, not yet. Not for me either, in fact. It's still a beta feature, so it's possible that it's only open to Amazon.Com. I'll give it another day and email Amazon for clarification.

It's only eternity. What's so long about that? 😁 It wasn't until I started writing this series that I got an idea of just how big a job it would be. To be honest, that thought was encouraging for me, because it struck me that rebuilding/teaching/cleanup was just the first project. When the Tower of Babel went up, God saw a fallen humanity with everything in their reach. Imagine what we'll be like under a united rule, of perfect people, with no worries about tomorrow... and then we'll look to the universe and say "What's our next project?" Because whatever it is, it'll be amazing. Clean Up and 'Graduation' will take us a thousand years. Whatever we do next? Two thousand. After that? Five thousand. And we'll just keep going. But in the meantime, reviews like this are what authors live for. Knowing I've both given you food for deep, spiritual thought; and the basis for tearful nightmares, means I've done my job. 😇

Ironically, the audio version now has fewer typos and mistakes than anything I've ever written. Hearing it read aloud makes it amazingly obvious where you've got the wrong word.
