‘Perils and Promises’ Receives Publicity
Author Frances Seymore will be doing a radio interview in the greater Kentucky area on August 1.
In Peril and Promises, Frances shares her spiritual journey and battles through honest and humorous prose and heartfelt poetry. Her story of losing her house and her lifestyle when Hurricane Isabelle hit will propel your heart toward a greater yearning for the lasting things of God and leave you hungering for more quiet time and knowledge as you seek to actively serve God through your own life passions.
Frances knows the physical, mental, social and spiritual perils all must face. At six, she was stricken with rheumatic fever. At age 42 she had radical brain surgery to correct epileptic seizures. And, although she had accepted Christ as her Savior early in life, it was not until her 30s that she completely surrendered her life to His lordship. She is now completely healed and seizure free.

Resurrection Life:The Manifestation of the Sons of God is one of Pleasant Word’s newest releases. Author Norman Gibson reveals what prophetic insight means from his own life and ministry and demonstrates just how easy it is to hear from heaven. God is speaking in these last days as never before. That clear and unequivocal message comes in the person of His Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Sonship, and all that it means, is at the heart of God’s eternal purposes for mankind.
In the social decay that plagues modern society, it is even more important for last-day believers to understand their role as sons. The despair facing human beings on planet earth has given rise to an almost universal helplessness. All of creation appears to be in birth pangs, waiting and longing for deliverance.
Resurrection Life points directly to that source of deliverance and seeks to help believers recognize their true purpose on the earth. In clear and compelling language, Norman Gibson captures the essence of sonship and takes the reader on a journey that culminates in a profound understanding of this pivotal doctrine.
Norman and his wife Sharon are parents of three daughters and live in Trinidad and Tobago. They are Senior Ministers at Fellowship Outreach Ministries.

I know all too well how the world places an overemphasis on what we see on the outside, and girls often resort to self-destructive patterns. I personally support the work of Mercy Ministries because I have seen firsthand the changed lives.

As a father of two girls in their late teens, I certainly know what girls face today. I have watched Nancy Alcorn and Mercy Ministries bring hope and healing to struggling young women for many years—young women who were completely without hope.

Pastor Edward Scott, also known as E.J., was a busy man with 3 interviews for his book Hurricane Katrina: The Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me during the week of the International Christian Retail Show. ICRS is sponsored by the Christian Booksellers Association and was hosted this year in Atlanta, Georgia.
Through a faith that was tested and tried, author E. J. Scott found victory in his relationship with God Almighty. In his book, he demonstrates to the reader that God is not just some figment of the imagination, a “spooky,” mysterious, spiritual mystery. Instead, He is here for us to lean upon and depend upon daily. Victory comes not because of our own strength but because God will accomplish it.
