#SaturdaySpotlight is on Donna B. Snow and Past, Present & Future: Why Everyone Should Read the Bible

Good Morning and Welcome to another edition of Saturday Spotlight.

It's been a long, long while since our guest today visited the blog so please extende your warmest greetings to Donna B. Snow with her new, nonfiction book, Past, Present, and Future Why Everyone Should Read the Bible.

Thanks for joining us, Donna! Please tell us why you wrote this book...

2024 was a very unsettling year for all of us. The world was getting ever darker. Ir was getting harder and harder to tell right from wrong, and there didn’t seem to be much hope to be found.

I’ve read my Bible cover to cover several times and I know the end will come one day, but with everything that was going on I truly felt like the end was near

A Christian coworker introduced me to a couple of prophecy preachers and I started listening to them, one of whom is from Israel. After listening we would discuss what was going on in the world and how everything was pointing toward the end times.

This book is actually dedicated to those preachers (as well as my friend) for opening my eyes to prophecy, as well as to a few select people who have led me closer to God and to understanding how special the Bible is – and just how important it is to all of us.

I felt a strong tug on my heart during that time, to share that message, to help other people to see  the Bible for what it truly is, a guidebook into the future.

The God who knows past, present, and future, has mapped it all out for us, even gave us markers and guideposts in time. They’re all in the book!

My book is just a glimpse of what can be found in His Word.

Wow, Interesting! I know there is a lot in the Bible about the end times and it's always good to hear someone else's opinion on that topic. Can we get a peek into the book?

Sure, here's the Blurb: Are you worried about everything that’s happening in the world today? Wars and rumors of wars all around the world…are you wondering if things will ever get better? Is World War III coming? Will the USA survive? And if not, what will the world be like?

Believe it or not, there’s a book that was written almost two thousand years ago that tells of things that have happened in the past as well as what’s going to happen in the future.

That book is the Bible. It isn’t about religion; it’s about the Creator’s love for us.

God’sWord is a guidebook to help us live the best lives we can. His mercy and love are strong enough to carry us through.

Past, Present, and Future is a glimpse into the message He has for you.

Excerpt: Should you read the Bible? The answer to that is ABSOLUTELY! 

The Bible was a gift, written to help us understand the world we live in and get to know the God who loves us.

*******

Why should you read the Bible?

Because the Bible is the only way you will ever understand this world, even your own life. 

This book has many facets. It is a book of history, a guidebook for our lives—and a hope for the future.

Thank You, Donna! Now tell us a little about yourself...

I’m a native New Englander, and I love the change of seasons, although I love winter less and less as it seems to get longer each year. But you can’t beat the beauty of fall colors, or the smell of things coming to life in spring. I’d love to have you join me in this, the springtime of my writing.

I write inspirational romances and women’s fiction, as well as Christian music.

Thank You for visiting with us today, Donna! We wish you the best of luck and God's blessings with your new book.

Hope you enjoyed today's spotlight, Friends. Past Present and Future can be purchased at Amazon and you can check out Donna's previous posts HERE.

Until next time, take care, God Bless and happy reading!

#SaturdaySpotlight is on Dianne Miley & Two of Her Crystal Falls Series!

Good Morning and Welcome,

Today's guest has been here before with her books, Roses for Rachel and Lilacs for Laura but since both have been reissued with new covers and blurbs, we're spotlighting them again along with a short note from Dianne as to why she wrote these books.

THE PRIME SUSPECT in her cheating brother-in-law's murder, Laura James fears losing everything when her hero Brett Mitchell lands his out-of-town dream job. To reconcile with her widowed sister and earn back Brett’s trust, Laura must prove her innocence. 

Who committed murder in her back yard? And will love get another chance?

Read an Excerpt HERE.

I wrote this story to share the conflicts of young love when two people have different goals and how love and faith conquers all. When both people are willing to give, compromise comes easy. There’s also a scene where a loved one is lost, and the family isn’t sure whether he had saving faith. How they handle this tragedy makes us think and feel deeply while acknowledging that God always knows best. Triumph over tragedy and relatable family conflict are overcome with love, faith, and trust in God. 

Lilacs for Laura is available at Amazon for Kindle (FREE in KU!) and Paperback.

A DEMENTED STALKER threatens widowed mother Rachel James Santos, vandalizes her home, and sabotages her work. After her husband's murder, Rachel struggles to raise her young daughters alone. She relies on the faithful kindness of coworker Elliot Truman, but how can he protect them from the mysterious lunatic? And can she risk her heart to love again? 

Read an Excerpt HERE.

After writing Lilacs for Laura, I had to delve into what happened to her sister, Rachel and felt compelled to write her story. Rachel had conflicts with Laura that needed to be reconciled, and I wanted to show God working for good in her life. While Rachel endures serious difficulties in Roses for Rachel, she grows in faith, finds love, and enjoys a happy ending! 

Roses for Rachel is also available at Amazon for Kindle (FREE in KU!) and Paperback.

Dianne Miley writes to share God’s hope, love, and grace. Her Crystal Falls Series includes: Lilacs for Laura; Roses for Rachel; Violets for Vanessa; and Sunflowers for Sarita. She contributed short stories to three anthologies: A Holy City Christmas; Charleston Light; and When You Pass Through Waters. She also authored a non-fiction book, Time to Enjoy Your Blessings. All books, as well as her blog can be found on www.diannemiley.com.

When she's not writing or reading, Dianne enjoys time with family and friends. She and her husband have two married children and two adorable grandchildren. She also enjoys cooking, gardening, flower arranging, tea parties, the beach, and her wrap-around porch. She founded a nonprofit, Sanctuary of Unborn Life in Charleston, South Carolina to help pregnant women in need. She now lives near Charlotte, North Carolina.
