Stick to Script – was created by our 101 – year old author, Francesca Malloy!

I know it’s true that ‘prayer changes things’ and I believe God’s Word – ‘The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much!’ James 5.16. But lately, I have come to realize that prayer changes me too.

This week is about prayer and faith – based themes.

I know a lot happens when we pray. So, I do. I pray for friends and people I see along the way I think are having a tough time but most of my prayers are for my family. One very special part of the Bible that touches me deeply when I think of my family is Exodus 28.12 – ‘And you shall put the two stones upon the [two] shoulder straps of the ephod [of the high priest] as memorial stones for Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names upon his two shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.’

Sometimes the Bible is confusing to me, but one day in prayer, the Lord brought these words to my heart and I heard that still small voice say, ‘you bear the names of your family as a memorial before Me when you come to Me in prayer, just like the priests of old brought Israel to Me.’ God has blessed me with a sincere love for the ones He chose to be my family and I cherish the privilege of bringing their names to God on a regular basis for all reasons.

Prayer makes me request an audience with the King – the Only One Who can help in so many moments of life. It’s true, when I pray, I am praying for a miracle because if I could do the thing I need done myself, I would have no need to pray. But, those moments come. I am blessed to see Him as my All in All, the One is Who is bigger than all I face. Situations are too much for me, but never a surprise to Him or too much for Him. When I pray I grow in faith and see Him as the Daddy that can do anything. I see Him as loving and kind and I change. I go from being someone scared and lonely to knowing the God of the Universe is listening and not only listening, wants to talk to me and wants to answer my prayers. And I am changed.

This week, I want to share our titles, ‘Lighting Candles 1 2 and 3, The 23^rd Psalm, Love Letter From God, and Divine Designs.’

Lighting Candles 1 2 and 3 are 3 30 -day devotional books that are Christian themed and relate the topics of prayer, mercy, forgiveness, a closer relationship with God, and more. There are 2 bonus days in each book and a small section after the short reading to allow the reader to reflect on their own thoughts and experiences.  The day reads are though provoking and help one understand their own needs and walk with God.

 The 23^rd Psalm is a small but precious book with the words and thoughts from the author’s treasured 23^rd Psalm. The Lord is our Shepherd, we will not lack… and more.

Love Letter From God – is a small book to share with others who struggle with how they feel God sees them. It is written in a personal way to show that God is always with each of us and knows every detail about us.

Divine Designs – is a charming little children’s picture book about angels on the design floor of heaven and some of the angels are designing the unique and stunning creatures that are here with us – the turtle, the giraffe, the rhinoceros, the manatee, whales, bees, hummingbirds, and more! Told in a cute and entertaining way, the book shows the young reader how the unique animals are not what we would expect here on Earth, but they are here and their existence as well as our own shouts the glory of the Living God, the Creator of the Universe and all these creatures that are not here by chance!! Take a look!

A 2 Z Press celebrates creativity and encourages all who are searching for a new and interesting faith-based book to enjoy this summer to take a look at ‘Lighting Candles 1 2 and 3, The 23^rd Psalm, Love Letter From God, and Divine Designs.’

These are great books for family reading time as well as non-denominational stories easy to relate to.  The significance of stories for young and all age readers cannot be understated, the  narratives emphasize the cognitive and emotional benefits of engaging young minds in captivating tales. The featured book adds a sensitive touch to the reader’s  journey in faith, offering heartwarming experiences, and interesting storylines that  make this an ideal choice for story reading traditions. Families are encouraged to come together, create  moments of joy, and build cherished traditions through the magic and FUN of inspirational storytelling.

As we share precious stories, we not only foster a love for reading but also build   traditions that will be treasured for years to come and something to remember when each day – or perhaps it already has and you ‘read to know God more and more.’

 

It came as such a surprise! I wasn’t’ expecting how much I would forever miss the ones I lost. The deep ache of the loss has passed, but the ‘wish you were still here’ is alive and well. Seven years later, I still look up to tell them I miss them. I miss them all. I am happy when I think of them, so it’s not all sad moments.

The topic this week is grief. A sad subject for many of us, but one many are familiar with. If we haven’t personally experienced loss, we eventually will. Also, I meet others every day who have experienced loss. It helps me to know I am not alone. I hope it helps you too.

Our commitment to excellent storytelling and family-friendly books again brings us to delve into the amazing world of novels and novellas to enhance our imaginations and spark enjoyment in summer reads.

This week, we want to share Terrie Sizemore’s titles, ‘Good Grief!’ – a sensitive look at one woman’s journey through her grief.

Good Grief! is a personal story about the loss of a very close person in my life. Actually, I was unprepared for the journey through grief and finding a way to make sense of my life as well as prepare for more loss in this short life. This little book takes place in Florida where I relocated to and also in the Florida Keys – where my friend and I had so many memorable times. Good Grief! encompasses the travels with the author as she sorts out all her deep feelings.

Everyone responds to loss in a personal way and certain losses are felt in different and more profound ways than other losses. Some really don’t embrace discussing their deep and difficult feelings. Others need to find someone to hold their hand through the uncharted journey through grief. My personal journey was filled with mixed emotions. Luckily, my dear friends seemed to understand what I was experiencing and made time each time I called and needed someone to listen and reassure me that what I was feeling was ‘normal’ for what loss I had experienced.

I had a close relationship with a friend who was sick. He struggled with difficult news from the doctors each time he visited their offices. I was able to move closer to him to share the last years of his life with him, however, didn’t realize that all the time we spent together deepened my love for him and made the loss even more difficult. I would never have changed the way it all worked out but realized that with great love comes great pain when that person is lost.

I read ‘A Grief Observed’ by C S Lewis and so much of his ‘grief talk’ related to my feelings as well. I also longed for the past – the talks, the walks, the trips to rivers, lunches, movies, days spent at his apartment, and more. All the mundane that made up our simple lives. All of the sudden, the river was still here, but he wasn’t. The grocery store I shopped at for his needs was still here, but I had no list to shop with.

 A 2 Z Press celebrates creativity and encourages all who are searching for a new and interesting title to sit with and enjoy this summer to take a look at Good Grief. This is a great book for family reading time as well as a look at one woman’s journey to relate to.  The significance of stories for young readers cannot be understated, the narratives emphasize the cognitive and emotional benefits of engaging young minds in captivating tales. The featured book adds a sensitive touch to the young reader’s journey, offering heartwarming experiences, and interesting storylines that make this an ideal choice for story reading traditions. Families are encouraged to come together, create moments of joy, and build cherished traditions through the magic and FUN of storytelling.

School’s OUT! And A 2 Z Press has many novels to add to your child’s summer reading list. Summer is a great time for reading time and our novels are sure to be a hit with all our young readers and adults as well.

Our commitment to excellent storytelling and family-friendly books today brings us to delve into the amazing world of novels and novellas to enhance our imaginations and spark enjoyment in summer reads.

This week, we want to share David R Morgan’s titles, ‘The Strange Case of William Whipper-Snapper, The Magic Tape, Poppy’s Path, and The Scarecrow Who Did Nothing.’  All are sure to be wonderful additions to any library.

The Strange Case of William Whipper-Snapper is a personal favorite about a 12 year old boy, William, who discovers a silver case in the roots of a storm-downed tree in his backyard.  This case is called a 1-B-Prize and grants wishes. Granting wishes sounds stupendous until all the wishes go horribly wrong! This easy and FUN read is great for the young reader to enhance reading skills in a FUN and engaging way. When William discovers he no longer wants to own the silver case, he has the task of  finding the Maker of the Prize and experiences adventures through time and space while finding the Prize Maker and First- Given.

 The Magic Tape is a magical story about a young man, Tristan, who doesn’t have many friends but, one day, finds a cassette tape. When he plays the tape, it transports him to the world of MUSIC- where there is a great conflict between Harmony and Noise. Perhaps the age-old ‘good v. evil’ plot, but in an interesting manner to use all music as metaphors and this little title is near and dear to my heart because Tristan finds true friends and discovers the joy of being a true friend himself.

Poppy’s Path  is about a young girl sorting out how to find her way in life -a frequent challenge experienced by many young adults deciding their own life paths. This sensitively told, illustrated novella  is a great quick-read for young adults to enjoy as well as discover everyone has the challenge of how to find their way in life.

The Scarecrow Who Did Nothing is a special illustrated novella about social issues in our world today. It does take the position that many sit idle as the world turns and changes around – sometimes changing in a way that will not benefit those that follow us in life. This little book is colorfully illustrated and drives the message home that we need to help ourselves and our world around us.

 A 2 Z Press celebrates David’s creativity and encourages all who are searching for a new and interesting title to sit with and enjoy this summer to take a look at these titles.  These are great for family reading time as well.  The significance of stories for young readers cannot be understated, the narratives emphasize the cognitive and emotional benefits of engaging young minds in captivating tales.
