    Author Kristina Northrup’s new book “Oh, the Lessons We Learn” is not a self-help book, but a self-love book, because improving starts with loving one’s own self

    Recent release “Oh, the Lessons We Learn” from Page Publishing author Kristina Northrup is a guidebook to help people navigate the twists and turns of life. The book will show readers that there are no coincidences or mistakes in life; everything happens for a reason.

    Kristina Northrup, a caregiver that provided care to individuals with a wide range of healthcare needs for more than twenty years, has completed her new book “Oh, the Lessons We Learn”: an engaging and motivational read that will remind readers that people all learn lessons in different ways, but it’s how one learns them and how one applies them that counts.

    Kristina states, “Have you ever noticed how life has a way of keeping things interesting? How something so simple becomes one of your biggest life lessons? Ever since, even before I could remember, life has given me a heaping helping of what one might interpret as misfortune, bad luck, or even some sort of punishment. You could have never convinced me that these “occurrences” were ultimately going to be for my own greater good. However, over time I have come to realize that these particular events were very essential in molding me into the woman I am today. When I reflect back over some of the events that have taken place in my life, I am now better able to see the lesson that came out of it, or at least what I took from it. I am a firm believer that “everything happens for a reason,” and as crazy as it may seem, I’m actually very grateful for the hand that was dealt to me. I can honestly say that I have no regrets when I reflect back on how these events have affected my life.”

    Published by Page Publishing, Kristina Northrup’s stimulating tale can lead readers to enjoy many ‘Aha’ moments from real-life examples of lessons learned. There’s even a chapter on getting back up again after falling. This book displays Kristina’s unique ability to communicate strong messages with humor and grace. She shares her own personal story as a way for others to realize that they are not alone.

    The stories contained in this book will touch anyone’s heart and make them laugh out loud. Also, this book teaches the lessons we all must learn in life. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever thought they were alone in their struggles or felt that they didn’t fit in with everyone else.

    Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Oh, the Lessons We Learn” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

  • Author Spins a Meaningful Set of Fictional Stories That Transforms Biblical Messages Relatable to Present Day

    Author Spins a Meaningful Set of Fictional Stories That Transforms Biblical Messages Relatable to Present Day

    Xulon Press presents a Christian teaching that inspires spiritual growth through imaginative narratives based on Bible characters and stories.

    Author Christine Ginsbury provides readers with refreshing set of Biblical stories written with a modern twist in Transformed By Love ($15.99, paperback, 9781662860881; $7.99, e-book, 9781662860898).

    The nine stories presented in Ginsbury’s book are fascinating Biblical encounters that people have had with Jesus, as described in the Gospels. Her imagined narrative of the characters will be appreciated by readers as each gives a portrayal of the way of life and practice of religion in first century A.D. Israel. This includes relatable topics of today including lifestyle, disabilities and illnesses and the author’s perspective on how those topics would be viewed by Jesus and the love and compassion he would show in return. For every character that Ginsbury writes about, she retains as much of the original narrative of the Gospel writers as possible. Her book also includes a sketch portraying Jesus’ attitude to children and two poems further depicting the author’s perception of the nature of Jesus’ love and compassion for mankind.

    “I was inspired to write the book because of my curiosity about the lives of the people in the Biblical stories,” said Ginsbury. “I wanted to make them relatable to people today by giving an understanding of how they would have lived their lives in First Century Israel. It is my hope that readers will capture the sense of how much Jesus loves everyone and the difference it makes to be in a relationship with Him.”

    Christine Ginsbury grew up in a Christian environment and is the daughter of a pastor. She holds a degree in Theology and began work as a teacher of Religious Education. However, having studied Theology at a liberal university, she lost her way spiritually until she experienced an epiphany when she was thirty-five years old, that caused her to recommit her life to Christ. As a trained teacher of speech and drama, she directed plays with children. She also trained as a dyslexia teacher. She is now retired and currently lives in Surrey with her husband, David, and their two dogs, Laycie and Skip. Ginsbury enjoys reading and theater in addition to teaching children with special needs even in her retirement.

    Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. Transformed By Love is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

This field guide takes the topic of ministry to a whole new level as it brims with authentic, true stories describing the expected and unexpected when working in churches. Among the most powerful Divine interventions and spiritually and emotionally draining situations, Borg sprinkles in humorous stories, as well. His interpretation of ministry is transparent, a tell-all book that will prepare anyone pursuing a call to ministry, especially young ministry leaders, touting the unpredictable reality of the calling. Topics range from maintaining a healthy marriage and unique family lifestyle, earning respect and trust, learning self-awareness, multi-tasking and more.

    When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Borg said, “General ignorance of non-pastors of the calling, ministries and personal life of local church pastors.”

    Borg holds a Bachelor of Science in Theology from Nyack College and a Master of Arts from Denver Seminary. For 50 years, he has lived a life-time career in church ministry as a pastor, church planter and denomination leader.

  • Experienced Pastor Shares the Secret to Bringing Hope and Healing to the World

    Experienced Pastor Shares the Secret to Bringing Hope and Healing to the World

    Xulon Press presents a must have book for any Christian desiring better relationships through spiritual growth.

    Author Anthony M. Cottrell challenges readers to answer the call to follow Jesus by loving God and loving people in Acts of Defiance: How Self-Giving Love Inspires Acts of Grace, Forgiveness, and Compassion ($16.49, paperback, 9781662853401; $7.99, e-book, 9781662853418).

    Cottrell’s thought-provoking book explores what it looks like for the heart to be transformed so that it goes against its natural, self-centered way of life. He explains to readers that all relationships are riddled with challenges. It’s one’s own selfishness that sabotages the efforts to love others. This includes the ability to receive and extend grace and forgive others. Cottrell wants Christians to have compassion and turn to the way Jesus modeled—a radical way of self-giving love, expressed through acts of scandalous grace, irrational forgiveness and fierce compassion. The author aims to help all readers embrace this way of self-giving love, even disillusioned Christians looking for clarity and direction.

    When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Cottrell said, “In my own story, I have had my cultural views challenged by the Jesus I see in the Gospel accounts. I have experienced my compassion grow for people that I once judged. I have also experienced the liberating power of releasing resentment and bitterness by forgiving others. Because of my own story and the stories of other people I have had the privilege to know, I believe love, grace, forgiveness, and compassion are key areas of transformation that Jesus wants to do in our hearts. I felt compelled to write about how self-giving love defies the kingdom of darkness and makes a way for grace, forgiveness and compassion to bring hope and healing to our world.”

    Cottrell holds a B.S. in Youth Ministry and Biblical Literature from Indiana Wesleyan University and a Master of Divinity from Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University. He serves as the Lead Pastor at LifePoint Church in Goshen, Indiana and co-hosts the podcast, Theologizing Life. Cottrell grew up in a Christian home in the small town of Martinsville, Indiana. He accepted Christ at five years old. He later had an experience at a youth conference that led him to take more ownership of the faith that he was taught. He was challenged to “fully surrender to Jesus.” Although he stumbled at many points in his journey, his decision to surrender to Jesus has shaped the trajectory of his life. Cottrell’s mission in life is to share the hope and healing of Jesus Christ with others. Anthony and his wife, Emily, have two children, Titus and Evelyn. He describes his family as a “beautiful mess” because he considers marriage and parenting a “beautiful mess”— and together they are learning to follow Jesus together. Besides his immense love for Jesus and his family, Anthony enjoys books, dirt bikes, Batman, chocolate, listening to music, racing in hare scrambles, watching movies and eating food.

    Xulon Press presents logical explanations of religious concepts.

    Author Subodh K. Pandit brings clarity to hazy ideas about religion and God in Reality of the Christian Faith: A Short Logical Treatise Based on Science and Philosophy ($17.49, paperback, 9781662863011; $8.99, e-book, 9781662863028).

    Although Dr. Pandit’s professional specialty is in Internal Medicine, he has spent a lot of time on university campuses speaking with students about religion. Using these debates, alongside his personal experience and diverse background, he is able to discuss issues such as God’s existence, evolution and relativism, as well as compare the five great world religions (Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity) in a logical and educated fashion.

    “The information is clear and credible, and the arguments are lucid and compelling. They have been tested and tried at various intellectual levels over decades. The conclusions, even if not believed, are difficult to overturn, and provide a stable mental base and true hope in a hopeless world,” said Pandit.

    Subodh K. Pandit completed his medical studies and worked in various hospitals in India before moving to the USA, where he taught in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Oklahoma. He then worked as an ER doctor until his retirement.

  • Fictional Story Takes Readers on a Fascinating Journey Back in Time Through the Bible

    Fictional Story Takes Readers on a Fascinating Journey Back in Time Through the Bible

    Xulon Press presents a fun read combining fictional fantasy with a biblical twist.

    Author JB Goode provides readers with a thought-provoking story of spiritual growth in Bible Jumper: How It All Began ($12.49, paperback, 9781662863745; $5.99, e-book, 9781662863752).

Through his interactions with these biblical people, he learns about faith, the gifts God gives us and ultimately what his calling in life was destined to be. Throughout his journey, Sam questions whether this adventure is in his mind or is God purposely allowing him to travel back in time for a reason? Readers will be enthralled as the story develops and Sam discovers the answers in a fun way.

    When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Goode said, “God given inspiration. I never had the desire to write a book until God gave me this story to write.”

  • Author Pens Thrilling Second Novel in the Matt Davenport Chronicles

    Author Pens Thrilling Second Novel in the Matt Davenport Chronicles

    Xulon Press presents action-packed follow-up to the exciting first book in the Christian suspense series.

    MAITLAND, FL—Author David Porter tells the story of four strangers with four paths and one explosive outcome in Sixty Seconds of Silence ($19.99, paperback, 9781662857782; $35.99, dust jacket, 9781662857799; $9.99, e-book, 9781662857805).

    David Porter treats readers of his first thrilling book with the exciting continuation of the Matt Davenport chronicles. This Christian suspense story picks up with Matt recovering from injuries sustained while stopping a terrorist attack a year prior. While Matt could have gone anywhere in the world and received a hero’s welcome, he accompanies his wife, Jessica, who accepted a new role as the dig leader of an archaeological site in Jerusalem. This was no routine job offer and not a normal archaeological site. This was the home of a deadly assassin with a secret to hide. Before Matt and Jessica know what they have stumbled into, Matt is buried, both figuratively and literally, in the middle of something apocalyptic. Trapped in caves deep underground with no way out, Matt must rely on God’s voice to survive. As Matt allows the still, small voice to guide him to safety, he encounters something even more incredible – the discovery of a lifetime that may be the catalyst for the End Times.

    When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Porter said, “So many people in the world are lost and hopeless with a distorted view of Christianity. Jesus is the only true answer for the world. I wanted to write a book that points people to the life changing power of Jesus and His Word. The message is packaged in the form of a novel but paints a picture of how Jesus relates to us today and how we can live as Christians in this world, with all the benefits and blessings that are included with our salvation.”

    David Porter and his wife, Lauren, currently reside in Birmingham, Alabama.

    He holds an undergraduate degree and three Bible school degrees including a Master of Theology. Porter is a successful entrepreneur and keynote speaker with a passion for writing suspense novels in the light of current events. With his attention to detail and ability to make even the most complex concepts simple, his other novel, “Five Minutes to Live” and his non-fiction investment book, “Juror Number One and the Alternate Retirement Plan,” are consistently featured on best seller lists. Porter played basketball in college where he was an Academic All-American. He enjoys playing the piano and traveling.
