OCTOBER 2024 Newsletter

It’s Gary’s month to share.

And I NEED YOUR PRAYERS please! Why?

Answers to prayers are good news, but at times, for every answered prayer, more things need to be prayed for.

The answers to prayer? Editorial CLIE (Barcelona) has in the past year published two of my books; Publicaciones Kerigma has published yet another. All three are on the market, also on Amazon, but only in Spanish.

NEW prayer request: I have three available-only-in-Spanish books. But now I have three books that are totally ready to in English, and that I would like to publish.

I almost never use the word “unique”, but in all three cases I have searched carefully, and was able to find nothing similar in either language.

The one on the left, with the iceberg on it, will be Iceberg Ahead! When God’s Workers CRASH into Cold, Hard Reality. It is about how we deal with disappointments. I examine the many times when the apostle Paul had a collision and how he kept on going. I also develop character sketches of Christians in the 21st century, people who are undergoing the same trials.

The one in the center is a collection of essays I have written over many years: The Gift of the Holy Spirit and his Power in the Church.

And finally, the one on the right just came out: Myths that Christians Believe and Pass Along to Others, on why we succumb to clickbait and circulate unfounded stories to millions. Examples: Did you see on “History” about how they discovered giant human skeletons? Or hear that Greek is the most precise language in the world? Or that human DNA communicates hidden messages from God in Aramaic? We deal with these and 40 other stories.
 
Hence, I AM LOOKING FOR 1, 2, or 3 English-language publishers to break this logjam.

PRAYERS for this venture, please! I am using these weeks to digitally pound on many doors, looking for interested publishers.
Thanks! Gary



Prayer requests:
* Please continue to pray for Karen’s health, as she has to deal with a combination of issues: blood clots; bad knees; arthritis.
* Our support level has dropped over the last few months. Perhaps our churches would want to raise their giving by $50 a month?
* Very specifically: we need to do some renovations to our upstairs bathroom in our Christiana home. If you would like to contribute or help with the job, please let us know! And please pray: this has been, literally, hanging over our heads for a couple of years!
