Ethel writes in a very conversational manner, inviting the reader to consider some of the nuggets of wisdom she has collected in her walk as a Jewish believer, and wife and mother" (endorsement by Corry Keeler, worship leader, international recording artist, and director of Lev Shelo Ministries)."Ethel's writing style is honest, approachable, and pragmatic without being preachy. You will appreciate Ethel's folksy, matter-of-fact, and sometimes raw presentation. There is a chapter about listening, a chapter about forgiveness, and even a chapter about how to disagree with one's spouse respectfully and lovingly. Ethel's wise counsel is punctuated with humor, honesty, scripture, and real-life experience. Plus, she plainly and frequently points to Yeshua, His words, His teachings, and His ways" (endorsement by Sue Samuel, Messianic Worship Leader/Recording Artist)."There is no one more qualified to share her life in the Lord with yours than this Jewish mother who loves the blessed and divine Son of another Jewish mother-and has dedicated her life to caring for the family birthed in His Name.

CANCER - The mere mention of this word invokes fear or dread. Most would not include the words adventure, joy, peace, or gratitude to describe their emotional reaction. This book is about a journey "through" cancer and the experiences encountered. There are: times of confusion and times of claritytimes of pain and times of comfort feelings of helplessness and those of being blessed The author says, "All through the journey, I have been guided by God's whispers keeping me grounded in the knowledge that He desires full and complete recovery in my life and yours." This is a journey of joy and frustration which will hopefully bring you peace, increase your faith, and give you a different perspective and attitude as you get this glimpse into how cancer effects a person's life. The author has been blessed with a positive attitude along with an unconventional sense of humor. These two things, along with his unshakable faith, enabled him to traverse the pitfalls that come so that healing could be possible. Join him on this journey. He says to you as God said to him in the beginning, "Let's go for a walk together."Endorsements: Dave's honest, practical and inspiring journey proves there is an optimism that is more than merely human. I am tempted to re-title it, FULLER FAITH (pun intended). It brought back warm memories of when he and Marilyn lovingly sat alongside me in a waiting room while my wife was in extensive surgery for a metastasized cancer. Their compassion for people is genuine and enduring. Romans 15:13 says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Dave's life and words are an uplifting answer to that ancient prayer.Mike Weber, friend and pastor Dave's unique and vivid retelling from cancer diagnosis to "survivor" is both warm and inspiring! A gifted story teller, Dave walks the reader through the undulating emotional journey he faced-and we face-as cancer patients. Through it all Dave's story is a reminder that anything is possible-even in the most difficult of times and through the most difficult of circumstances-with faith and courage.

Every Individual is unique. We all have different DNA, heritage, and world views. Even our finger prints are all distinctive! Every person's personal journey through the challenges of this life are also unique. There are millions of books that suggest how everyone should eat, sleep, exercise, etc. etc! This book is different. It doesn't tell you how to live your life or what health program to follow! With a foundational belief that we were created to live in wholeness and well-being, the author shares her own short personal stories hoping to inspire you to seek The Creator of the universe for answers and strategies that are tailor made to your unique person and situation. It is a challenge to go deeper, to ask yourself hard questions, and to desire health in every area of your life, not just physical.

Here is a beautifully illustrated Bible storybook that speaks of humankind being created and valued. It emphasizes that God is light, but that people chose to sin and live in darkness. Much of the wording is taken directly from Scripture. The stories include: The seven days of Creation Adam and Eve created Adam and Eve deceived by the snake Adam and Eve cast from the Garden Cain and Abel Noah and the flood. The Tower of Babel Abraham is chosen Adam and Eve lived in God's light and peaceful garden until they rebelled against Him and were forced to leave their perfect home. Well, one sin led to another and another. In time, the world became a dark and evil place. Then God sent a great flood to destroy all life on earth. But Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal, were saved. Time passed, and once again, people chose to live in darkness. So God called Abraham, to be the father of a new nation. A nation that would love God and live in His light. ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR: Pauline Shone has written and illustrated 18 Children's Bible Stories, published and distributed by Authentic Media in Asia. In the Beginning, is her first, full color children's book for Olive Press. Pauline lives in England. She has a son and a daughter, and four grandchildren REVIEWS: Good books help us to think. Children need to know the importance of thinking God's way rather than the world's way. They need to know how their decisions, both good and bad, will affect their lives just like Adam & Eve's, Cain's, and other Bible characters. This book shows God's holiness and mercy, right from the beginning. Pauline quotes Scripture, which is so important as many parents today think the Bible is obsolete and outdated. The beautiful illustrations will remain in the children's minds for years to come. Lois Rykse, married to Mel, and great grandmother to 33 children Michigan, USA As a friend and former colleague of Pauline, I am honoured to be writing a review of In The Beginning. Pauline has captured the Biblical content along with such beautiful illustrations, bringing it alive for the child reader or like me the Dad reading it with his children. Pauline is a gifted author putting pictures into words and words into pictures. My daughter just loves her books and it thrills me to see children excited about the Word of God. In this book children are shown (and we adults reminded) how it all began, and what an awesome God we have. Colin A McFarland, married to Kicki, father of two children Northern Ireland (formerly lived in Israel) As a grandparent and retired primary school teacher, in both the Uk and Spain. I find this book of Pauline Shone's an excellent way of introducing young people to the often complex stories of the Old Testament, particularly in our multi faith world. They are easy to read or "show and tell" due to the charming and detailed illustrations, which open up opportunities to extend children's vocabularies and verbal expression. I heartily recommend it.

ALL's Focus: On the evening after Yeshua's resurrection, Luke reports that He explained to the two travelers "what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself." ALL examines our risen Lord's "all." To whom is ALL of interest? Skeptics, searchers, Bible students, teachers… ALL 's twelve studies explore: Who fulfilled the Old Testament's foreshadowed Messiah as Seed, Son, Lamb, Priest, Host, King, and Prophet? What new Messianic identity is revealed in the New Testament? What does the whole Bible reveal about God's overall purpose? How do the Old and New Testaments fit together? How are Messiah's identities being both challenged and embraced today? What do we need to realize about history and today's Messianic movement? Two companion studies by the same author: IN: What becomes true of all who are "in Christ"?THEREFORE: Our Lord has revealed Truth, therefore how should we live? ALL is actually contemporary. Many are awakening to the enemy's decimation of Jew/Gentile relationships through Replacement Theology and are concerned about rising anti-Semitism today. Those concerned for God's chosen people ask, "How can we understand the relationship between the Biblical Messiah and our sad relational history? How can we respond to today's urgent need for reconciliation?" Table of Contents:1. QUEST - The Messiah Search What, Why, How, When, Where, Who?2.

"As I leaned forward to give the taxi driver the clinic's address, the safety pin holding my skirt together popped and stuck me in the side. ...my body had already begun preparing to nurture the life I was about to snuff out. Except back then, I didn't think it was a life." Gail's story might be your story or that of someone you love. She thought little about her abortions until decades later when she began having mysterious dreams that led to the discovery of some harsh realities, which opened her eyes to the Truth and then to answers she became compelled to share. "Occasionally, someone writes a book that exhorts us to bold choices. Such is the book you hold in your hand." -Pastor Tim Rezac "...a must read for anyone who has the courage to face the ... raw truth about today's world. What is so refreshing is that woven into the fabric of this book is the story of redemption...." -Bobby & Dianne Lloyd "As Gail's pastor, I highly endorse her book. It is well written and Gail ... 'walks the talk.'" -Rev. Eric J. Rey "I ... was almost aborted. ... It is important that we open our minds and hearts to wisdom that perhaps we've never heard.... And when we know the truth, it sets us free ... and it brings peace to our souls". -Christine Pickering

We love the LORD. Therefore, we love His Word. Yet so many of us neglect one part of His Word, the Torah---the Law. We tend to shy away from it. But it is part of the Word! Those Laws came from the very mouth of ALMIGHTY GOD. Therefore there must be life and power and beauty in them, right? To help us find the jewels and gems and life-giving spiritual nourishment in the Torah, this book has all the verses on the same law grouped together. (At least that was our goal.) So you can study everything ADONAI said about that particular commandment, along with some important verses about it from the rest of Scripture. It is all categorized. (The category titles are given in the margins and are listed generally in the order that they first appear in the Torah.) Amazingly, this gives quite a different perspective on that sometimes dreaded word, "Law." In the first pages, You will find out that "Torah" doesn't actually even mean "Law."This book is all Scripture with almost no commentary. Therefore, the author is ELOHIM Himself. (In this book, we use ELOHIM'S original, sacred, Hebrew Name in the actual Hebrew letters.)You will be amazed at all the details ADONAI covers in His Torah instructions and commandments.For a spiral bound copy of this book, find the publisher's site online.

Yom Kippur (Hebrew for the Day of Atonement) is one of the Moadim, one of the Appointed Times of the Lord that, in the Bible, He commanded Israel to keep. It is an "appointment" set by the Lord. When someone makes an appointment, they have a reason. As author Rabbi Jim says, "If someone in my congregation makes an appointment with me, they wouldn't like it if I controlled the whole time and never asked them what they wanted to see me about." God has set the agenda for Yom Kippur, and we need to find out what it all is." To Jewish people, Yom Kippur is the most holy day of the whole year. It is the holiest of the autumn High Holy Days, a very serious, somber, sacred day. In the Bible, Yom Kippur is the day the Cohane HaGadol (High Priest) entered the Most Holy Place, also called the Holy of Holies, taking the blood of the sacrificed animals and sprinkling it on the Mercy Seat to make atonement for the sins of the people. Also he had to cast lots over two goats, one to be chosen as the scapegoat and the other to be sacrificed. But since 70 AD after the Temple was destroyed, none of that can be done anymore. So how do traditional and Messianic Jewish people observe this day today? And what agenda did God have in mind for this day for these End Times? What power does it hold for your personal walk of faith and for spiritual warfare? You might be surprised.
