BOOK REVIEW | Wounded: A Love Story
Wounded: A Love Story
by Claudia Mair Burney

Add to Your Faith
Add To Your Faith
by Becky DeWitt
Have you ever read a scripture that you have read before and stumbled upon a phrase that just leaped in your spirit and eventually was on your mind all the time? For about two months, everywhere I turned was ‘add to your faith.’ I heard it on Christian television. I even sponsored a church program with this as the theme and now it is an article.
‘Add to your faith’ is found in II Peter 1:5-10. These scriptures list seven qualities that we must not only develop, but exercise. One of the great deceptions in the Body of Christ is that salvation stops at the cross. Actually it is the beginning of the journey. The acceptance of the invitation to salvation delivers one from the old sinful life and sets one on a path to seek, hunger, and thirst after God and the divine revelation of who He is.
Soul of Man Blog Tour Featuring Maurice M. Gray, Jr. – Letting Patience Have Its Way
The process of publishing has been hotly debated for as long as there has been publishing houses. With the variety of avenues that can now be traveled toward publication that debate has become much more scrutinized by readers and reviewers. For Maurice Gray the focus upon editing has become more than a conversation to engage in; it has become a passion that he gladly shares with others.
When approached with the possibility of working on a project his focus is not affordability, it is on what the author is willing to put into the process in order to learn the proper and sellable form of writing. He has done so in order to dispel the myth that an editor’s job is to make the manuscript publish worthy. To a large degree it is, but Maurice understands and impresses upon the prospective client that this cannot happen without their input and them learning the steps of editing.
