A Christian Approach to Victory

 

Nonfiction / Self-Help / Mental Health / Christian

Date Published: September 26, 2023

Publisher: Lucid Books

If you or someone close to you is a Christian afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Waging War against OCD: A Christian Approach to Victory provides a lifeline. Authored by an OCD sufferer who uses Scripture as a sword in the battle against the disorder, this book provides comfort and hope for those mired in the confusion and hopelessness of OCD. The author demonstrates how the methods for fighting this disorder all originate in Scripture, the ultimate source of all wisdom and power. Sufferers can use these truths as an anchor during their darkest and weakest moments, knowing that God's Word prescribes a path to victory over torturous thought patterns, crippling fears, enslaving rituals, and debilitating guilt.

For OCD sufferers and those that come alongside them, this book provides rare insight into the thoughts of an OCD sufferer, shared in raw and honest detail by the author throughout his entire life story, beginning with his first memories of OCD at age five. For many years, the author asked for wisdom from God, and this book is based on the wisdom he received. It is his deepest hope that the lessons he learned will bring comfort and victory to all Christian OCD sufferers-and to those who know, love, counsel, and shepherd them.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5)

About the Author

Mike began struggling with OCD as a young child and has spent most of his life battling the disorder. By seeking God's wisdom through his own study of the Scripture and through the careful mentorship of his grandfather, a pastor theologian, Mike has identified many powerful tools for battling OCD that every Christian OCD sufferer should know. Mike uses this Biblical wisdom to evaluate common medical and psychological treatments for OCD, showing that viewing the disorder though the lense of Scripture can multiply the effectiveness of these treatments for those who believe.Mike earned a BS in mechanical engineering with a minor in mathematics from Virginia Tech, followed by an MS in finance from George Washington University. Mike and his wife Rashel married in 2007 and moved from Virginia back to her home state of California in 2010 where they currently live with their daughter.

Tour Wrap Up: Tales of a Spiritual Sun by Paul Kiritsis

 

Historical Fiction / Short Stories

Date Published: March 20, 2023

From the Sphinx communicating through a Ouija board to Narcissus's traditional, terrible fate morphing into his first glimmer of hope, Tales of a Spiritual Sun re-writes the Greek myths as never before. The tales of the familiar are tackled, such as the stories of Medusa, King Midas, and Pandora. Yet, Tales of a Spiritual Sun also includes those that are, perhaps, less well known such as Orpheus, Proteus, and Psyche.

All the stories are viewed from new angles or written with modern twists. They take on new lives, with fresh locations and messages at their heart. These include a scientific experiment ready to change the world on the night it is set to end and a personal detective who must decide if a man, claiming his wife is a nymph, is delusional or about to commit an awful crime.

 

Tales of a Spiritual Sun allows readers to discover ancient myths in a bold and original way, in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Tour Wrap Up: My Life on Tender: Ariana and Cal by A.G. Billig

Book 1 in My Life on Tender series

 

Rockstar Romance/Contemporary Romance

Date Published:  11/11/2023

 

Curl up with your next favorite rockstar romance and meet these two hot lovers…

A gipsy fortuneteller predicted I had three years to find true love in a foreign land, away from home. But not in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d end up falling in love with a smoking hot rockstar from Southern California…

I’ve always had a thing for tall, dark-eyed, handsome guitar players. Now, I’m dating one. Cal is a famous rock star from Southern California, and I accidentally matched with him on Tender. When he passionately explores my naked body and makes love to me, he takes me to paradise. However, when he flirts with his cute neighbor or forbids me to touch his ugly, I’m in agony and fear I have made the wrong choice.

Cal’s unpredictable nature keeps me on my toes. He showers me with gifts and love on one day, but on the next, he acts as if I’m his worst enemy and turns cold. As if his dark past and emotional scars won’t let him open his heart again and love a woman. As if he is a complex riddle that I cannot solve.

The quartz crystal gifted to me by the gypsy fortuneteller seems to agree with it. It’s supposed to turn pink when I find true love, but it stays white. That is the reason why Tender is still installed on my phone, and I keep on swiping left and right. Tender is my trusted friend, my accomplice, and a contingency plan if Cal and I fail.

However, this is not an option. I’ll make things work between us. I’ll make him adore me. Beg me to become the second Mrs. Hudson and stay with him in California. I’ll keep my promise to myself to never again squander another birthday, drowning in my own tears.

Arina and Cal is a rockstar romance novel and the first book in My Life on Tender Trilogy. If you enjoy spicy scenes, unexpected plot twists, an unconventional female protagonist, and surprise endings this novel is for you. The book is also packed with your favorite tropes: one of us is famous, grumpy sunshine, blind to love, and emotional scars.

Get cozy in your reading corner and dive into this steamy romance book. Let the warmth of the love story chase away the chill of the season.
