The Pen Presents Author Antonia Hines

 

For ten years our relationship was horrible. We couldn't stand to look at each other, let alone be around each other. Satan wanted to keep it that way because he knew that God had a ministry for us. He tried for a long time to keep that from happening. God has brought us from a long way together. We went through some dreadful experiences with each other. But to God be the glory. What Satan has tried to stop, we rebuked him in the name of Jesus, and is now able to tell our story and to help someone out. We hope that the experiences and prayers in this book will be a blessing to you. We are ready to be used by God in any way possible. We love God and the people He brings our way. This is not our testimony but God's testimony.

The Pen Presents - Pre-Deployment Guidebook

A Must-Read Book - Whether you and your family are experienced deployers or first-timers, deployments are arguably one of the most challenging and unsettling experiences you’ll ever have. As exemplary of a job the military does to prepare servicemembers and their families for both the knowns and the unknowns, only God, who knows the end from the beginning, and the best and safest route for us to take, can bridge the gap between human limitation and the miraculous, from unbridled anxiety to a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Walk with me through this unrestrained guidebook as I share mine and my family’s journey from fear to faith, from skepticism to divine perspective and awe. Suggestions are provided on how to process the announcement, informing loved ones, understanding the cycle of emotions, getting one’s affairs in order, and a host of other invaluable insights. Bottom line up front: Don’t leave home without Christ!

The Question of God and The Reality of The Spiritual Realm.

The Pen Presents
Westward Lies the Sun 
Robert H. Kono
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Westward Lies the Sun (A Novel) by Robert H. Kono is an epic novel blending historical fiction of the Japanese internment camps during WWII with the grandeur of love, romance, legacy, Samurai and Japanese heritage with the question of God and the reality of the spiritual realm. 

The novel unfolds revealing Greg, his life and past, as the author captures each time period of his life well. Greg’s conversations with his friends and his own self-doubt being a Japanese American experiencing his own subculture being Japanese, which has caused Greg to question his own self-worth stemming from teenage years. Feeling culturally divided coupled with the trauma he had to endure throughout his growing up years, he feels displaced culturally. “He felt as though he were a pioneer or explorer, out to hack his way through the wilderness of the identity question.” (p. 11) This is just an example of the writer’s way of conveying this mental tug-of-war within the main character, Greg. 

From a Christian perspective, the novel speaks on Greg’s personal reflections upon God, His existence and why bad things happen upon the Earth without cramming the Christian religion down one’s throat. This is much appreciated as the author gives enough information and Scripture to just make readers “think for themselves.” 

Greg, as a staunch humanist, spends time with his four friends at their poker games that reveal much conversation about God. The book reveals a dark past for Greg and his family, being of Japanese descent during WWII and the horror of the camps. Their only crime, being Japanese, Greg reveals the loss of a family heirloom, in which he goes searching for. The epic continues as Greg and his family survive a shipwreck on an island, which ends up giving them life amid their tragedy. This book is a movie in the making with a dreamy, mysterious, and memorable title! 

With a beautiful ending, surprises and twists along the way, the book keeps the attention of readers. I was hooked from chapter one. The beautiful descriptions of the lake and the cultural tensions that the Japanese experienced during the time of WWII provide an interesting backdrop. The author gives readers a true appreciation for family, love, patriotism, combined with dark overtones of racism prevalent during the WWII era, while also sharing Christianity in such a way that makes sense, giving equity a voice. 

An absolutely fascinating novel with an epic title made for the big screen!   You may get your copy of Westward Lies the Sun at Amazon and in Kindle as a download.

What is the best hope for mankind, given the condition of the world we now live in? Actually, it is "forgiveness". There is no way that man has hope without God's forgiveness. This book focuses on the unfolding of God's intent to forgive man, regardless of his sins; if there is a change of heart, or simply a repentant state of mind. 

This book covers the lives of many individuals within the scriptures who experienced the forgiveness of God after great and shocking acts of evil. It shows us that there is still hope for us today. 

For the Lord has said unto us; "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD, Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool."( Isaiah 1:18,19).

The Pen Proudly Presents Author Cindy Scott's Book Release Never Forsaken

Cindy Scott spent two years gathering the several manuscripts her mother penned over fifteen years and combined them with taped interviews to fill in the gaps. The finished work fulfills her promise before her mother's death to see this book, Never Forsaken, published. 

Never Forsaken is a labor of love told by Cindy Scott, the daughter of Marion Ghent Jose Lau. Her mother’s memoir reaches back in time to the early 1900’s, through WWII, to present day. 

Never Forsaken is a true-life testimony of survival and restoration after WWII, including the big move to America for a better life. I was hooked from the first chapter. Marion’s rendition of life back then, her father’s radical transformation, becoming born again after being a drinker and gambler, reeled me right in. With a tinge of humor in the section of Papa’s new life, this is a touching sentiment of how the Word of God broke through such a calloused heart. 

Readers will find Marion Ghent’s harrowing journey as a young girl in the Philippines an amazing adventure. Being the youngest of eleven living siblings and the daughter of a colporteur for the American Bible Society, surely this story is an inspiring read that relates God’s absolute faithfulness and how He works in the humblest of ways. The book also relays the efforts of the foot soldiers of the Gospel, and reveals the treasure of how the Gospel goes forth.   

The Ghent’s surviving the shock of war and the tragedies that followed, shed light on loss, but a strong, persevering faith that comes to fruition in finding a new life in America. Certainly, this may be a movie in the making. Exciting, touching, and a powerful story, amazing endurance unfolds during some of life’s pivotal moments, relating Marion’s tale of never being forsaken by God. 

Leading to a triumphant restoration with long lost family members after the scattering of the War years, the author takes readers from beginning to an end of an era long gone. One will be left in awe and find inspiration to all that Marion Ghent and her relatives had to go through during those humble years in the Philippines, escaping and hiding in the jungle for three years. In this miraculous book, history literally unfolds as the awful horrors of war in a foreign country. 

Cindy Scott has culminated history and the telling of Marion's story, and her life experience that also includes photos, maps, text and indexes explaining these far off and quite exotic places in the Philippines. What an amazing read! 

One will find that faith, courage, and overcoming do not come without struggles. Yet, God is ever faithful! 

This book comes highly recommended for those that enjoy true-life war stories, happy endings, with God in the mix! I sincerely hope this book becomes a movie. For me, as one who reads many books, this one was truly memorable and unforgettable.

Finding The Victory That David Did

Goliath of Gath was a powerful enemy who defied the Israeli army of King Saul and, by extension, the God of Israel. No Israelite could withstand Goliath, but when David came on the scene, the story changed.
As it was then, so it is today. There are Goliath forces that are seeking to frustrate the glorious destinies of individuals, families, communities, and even nations. The God of David has not changed; what he did through David he is still doing today.
Goliath killers are being raised by the God of heaven to bring down the Goliaths that stand on their way just like David. It is amazing that upon all the boastings of Goliath, a young man brought him down with a stone and a sling. God directed David's stone into Goliath's soft spot, his forehead. 

Your Goliath has a soft spot, and God knows how to target that spot with your sling and smooth stone. That Goliath in your life must die; that enemy has to be brought down by the power of the God of heaven. That stubborn challenge staring you in the face must come down.
This book is a Holy Spirit-inspired spiritual-war material that details the killing of Goliath by David and how you and I can rise up today and also kill our own "Goliaths" by the power of God. We cannot allow the forces of Goliath any more space, no more room for them, no more chance for them, enough is enough, now is the time to get them down, and God wants to use us like he used David.

 Check out this book and see how you can be a Goliath killer.
