Author, Pastor, Robert P. Holland, from his many years of experience as a Pastor and a believer has written a comprehensive booklet on "The Chosen Fast", as spoken of in Isaiah 58, while comparing the purposes, meanings and technicalities of Traditional Fasts, the Daniel Fast, to include Public Fasts and 21/40 day Fasts for individuals.

Holland addresses, "The Chosen Fast" as a lifestyle that should be embraced by every believer. If you find yourself lacking passion and drive, this book will inspire you to come up higher, and will ignite in the heart a passion to serve others, find wisdom and serve the Lord with all your heart, mind, body and soul. The author also dispels many of the false presumptions Christians may have on the subject of fasting and prayer alike, causing readers to examine their lives through the perspective and lens of "The Chosen Fast" as spoken of in Isaiah 58.

Filled with Wisdom and Truth from the Scriptures, the author addresses the lifestyle of a believer and what that lifestyle is to emanate from the born-again, spirit-filled Christian. This Chosen Fast is the culmination of Old Testament and New Testament teachings on what believers are to do while we wait upon Christ's return. Written to help encourage and exhort others to live as they should and as Christ commanded until He returns, the author has compiled an easy-to-read and fast-paced booklet that will not only educate and encourage readers on fasting, but instills the desire to live in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and to be a doer of the Word, rather than only a hearer of the Word.

This is a much-needed book in today's materialistic, self-centered society that will benefit the body of Christ greatly and the world fulfilling the Great Commission. This book is a highly recommended read for every Christian. Considering and acting upon these teachings which follow Jesus' teachings will revolutionize your life, your walk with God, your prayer life and intern you will find new life, Jesus' life.

A Very Highly Recommended Read

Hanging On by the Scratch Marks My Nails Left Behind by Author Elizabeth Chalker

Elizabeth Chalker has written a powerful, God inspired book that will encourage and help strengthen anyone who reads it. If you are in the midst of suffering, or struggling through intense hardships, then this book will provide solace and hope to pull you out of the darkness and into the light!

About Elizabeth and her book: The following is taken with permission from Elizabeth's website. Foreword (from Elizabeth's book)

I don't know if there is really a way for anyone to understand the depths of pain and suffering from which this work of Elizabeth's springs. As one who has witnessed this firsthand, being physically with her in the day-to-day more than anyone else, it's still unfathomable to me what she goes through. The reality of her minute-to-minute existence is far too unbelievable to wrap the mind around. Most of the writing was done in a very dark, cold room in complete silence. Much was done with the computer on Elizabeth's lap, with her typing with her eyes closed, as the light even from the computer screen was too much, too painful. All of it was done with a continual headache/migraine, as those only change in level of severity. She worked in small increments in between excruciating, unbearable physical pain and exhaustion, and moments of reprieve where the physical pain/symptoms and migraines were "bearable enough."

Most of us will never know the loneliness that she experiences or the fear as she watches uncontrollable things happen to her body each day. Even though I am with her as often as possible, and she is never out of my thoughts or my heart, most of this she suffers completely alone, except for her constant companion and angel of God, Symon.

Yet in this existence, that is impossible to call a life, she has never wavered in her faith. She has sought, screamed, challenged, asked tough questions, and been candid in her queries, and also candid in all of what she experiences. However, she has never abandoned her faith. Additionally, she has always been there to support those she loves in spite of the constant abandonment, with words of faith, encouragement, love, and wisdom, always giving beyond her strength and capabilities and often paying a huge price of increased physical pain and other symptoms for days or weeks, as her own health deteriorates.

To me, she is the epitome of what God wants for all of us. To love where there is no evidence, give when there's nothing left and believe where there is nothing left to hold onto except "the scratch marks our nails left behind."

Elizabeth, you are and will always be a daughter, very dear friend, and mentor to me. I congratulate you on completing this amazing project, this work of raw faith. Your perseverance is astounding and awe-inspiring. To witness the tortures you live every second of every day, the loneliness, the travesty, and injustices, and then to see the incredible genuine love you are, is truly phenomenal. God shines through you so brilliantly, such is evident to all who know you and know of you—and is equally evident through the God-inspired writing you have completed and now share with the world. I love you forever.

~~~ Dr. Corey Cameron

This God inspired book is sure to bless your life and strengthen you within on your own life's journey. Order your copy today and have your life inspired by hope and faith you never imagined possible! The proceeds from this book helps Elizabeth pay for her medical needs.

A CBM PR All Trial By Fire by Carol J. Posner, The Love and Healing Power of God

For Immediate Release
A CBM Press Release
March 23, 2012


All Trial By Fire by Carol J. Posner

Author Carol J. Posner releases All Trial By Fire; an explosive testimony of a woman trapped in domestic violence and is a triumphant testimony to the love and healing power of God. In her revealing book, Carol's story begins with a tale of abuse and domestic violence, living a life of fear and isolation as she survived kidney failure through a life-giving kidney transplant. This book touches on such subjects as the importance of prayer and scripture, the reality of spiritual warfare, the strength of our forefathers/saints in the faith, the hidden pain of many in our society-the poor/abused/homeless, the trap of misunderstanding people in situations we haven't experienced, such as chronic illness or domestic violence and the drawbacks of depending on drugs and doctors for healing, but most importantly God's eternal love for us.

Carol's testimony is one of hope, perseverance, endurance and faith when all else looks hopeless. Her testimony calls out to those in despair and let's them know that they are not alone and there is hope within God, "…if only we will reach out to Him." Her testimony shouts that there is a God in Heaven and He cares for each one of us, more dearly than any earthly parent would or ever could. Her book proclaims that there is love, grace and healing to be found in the arms of the Father. Through her testimony, the author encourages others that we are never alone and that our Father in Heaven loves us as His own children. When the trials of life become overwhelming, the Lord will see us through.

Carol Posner is a Christian author who writes from the heart and truly has a god-given purpose in her life to reach out to those who are hurting. Having three grown children of her own and three precious granddaughters, the author resides in Southern California with her husband of over 30 years. She is her church's secretary and happily boasts, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose," as she knows that the Lord has healed her and transformed her life to be a testimony to others that it's never too late and God's hand is never too short.

Experiencing Jesus' Joy by Dr. James B. Joseph

Experiencing Jesus' Joy
by Dr. James B. Joseph

Experiencing Jesus' Joy is a must read for every Christian, whether a new or mature follower of Christ. This book will provide those who read it a deeper understanding of God's Word, will, and direction for their lives. Through the reading of Experiencing Jesus' Joy, Dr. Joseph invites everyone to consider anew a close relationship with God in order that they may experience Jesus' joy on a daily basis as they help others know God more fully. By putting aside selfish desires and ambitions and being willing to give of themselves, Christ teaches His followers how to help others see the reality of God's love and enter into His eternal family. As individuals truly surrender their lives to the Father and His good purposes, they start realizing the same type of joy that Jesus did when He died a sinner's death on a cross making eternal life available for all who would start listening to God. Those who listen do so because they start realizing how much God really loves them and all others.

Brother James' main passion is to help as many as possible come to understand God's heart-felt desire for them to join Him and His eternal close-knit holy family for eternity. Through the reading of Experiencing Jesus' Joy, Dr. Joseph will show his readers that following Christ will open the door to a new life that allows God to developing His personal attributes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in them. The benefit of following Christ who also obediently follows His Heavenly Father starts immediately not waiting for some future time in Heaven, which will be great.

After over thirty years of ministry, Brother James has written this particular book to help as many as possible come to know their God-given purpose in life and experience more godly joy as they follow God's lead day-by-day. Dr. Joseph is well aware that one of the most common complaints among Christians today is that they lack the love and joy that they felt when they first submitted to Christ and became a Christian. Godly joy, inner peace, and excitement can be re-kindled in their life to burn brighter than ever before as individuals realize anew how worthy God is of their submission to His lead and start following Him as He saves as many as will listen from a life of eternal suffering and shame. Jesus wants us all to experience the joy that He experienced at the Cross and that He still is experiencing as He leads as many as will listen through His followers into the eternal presence of His Father and ours.

Dr. Joseph learned the ancient languages of the Bible so that he could understand in-depth God's message of love for all and then help others understand this great message more fully. He holds graduate degrees from Wake Forest University, Hood Theological Seminary, and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was licensed as a Gospel minister in 2000 and ordained as a pastor in 2007. He presently teaches the Bible in the seminary at Liberty University. His earlier book, Victory in Jesus: Being a Child of God (1997), brought great reviews from many Christian leaders of various denominations. It is clear from his writings, that Brother James wants those who will follow Jesus to work together as the Family of God and minister to a world that desperately needs God and His salvation.

To find out more about the author, his ministry and his books visit the author's website In Jesus' Service. Experiencing Jesus' Joy, is also available through your local book stores and places on line such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
