    Dr. Elizabeth Branch releases ‘Choosing to Lift Every Voice and Sing’

    Faith-based book of seminars heal and build self-esteem in African American youth who are subjected to the rigors and realities of racism

    Elizabeth Branch, EdD announces her return into the publishing scene with the release of “Choosing to Lift Every Voice and Sing” (published by Xlibris), a faith-based book of seminars that aims to heal and build self-esteem in African American youth who are subjected to the rigors and realities of racism.

    This book provides several tangible measurable interactive special activities (mini-seminars) written for older youth (who are effected and/or traumatized by racial assaults and incidents they have identified, witnessed or experienced), to instill pride in their unique rich heritage, enhance their self-esteem/worth; while enhancing their test-taking, literacy-based, and academic state standard skills set. This book leaves the seminar leader/participants with a tangible historical keepsake, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which provides a special connection, “balm of Gilead” tactic, and voice from the past, for directions on continuing to move forward and never giving up on the ancestors’ dreams of triumph as a part of America.

    “The content of this book can be read to gain useful individual information or it can be used to conduct valuable seminars. It is thought provoking and uses musical video performances to enhance and enrich discussion. This faith-based material is simple, easy to understand, user friendly and designed to be used by trained youth leaders. Through its mini-seminars, youth are prepared to succeed even if America remains slow or continues to abandon her role in the process,” Branch says.

    When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Branch answers, “I want readers to take away the idea that it is okay to prepare our youth for real world uncomfortable, painful, and embarrassing encounters involving racism. They need concerted and circumstantial help in learning to survive in a racist society while continuing to strive to help build America into an inclusive freedom loving country. It is important that we begin or continue to build self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, and resiliency in youth who are subjected to or witness, real or perceived, overt racist behaviors.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.xlibris.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/842680-choosing-to-lift-every-voice-and-sing

  • Author Boyd Harrison’s new book “The Constitution of the United States” explores changes the author believes are necessary to repair people’s trust in their government

    Author Boyd Harrison’s new book “The Constitution of the United States” explores changes the author believes are necessary to repair people’s trust in their government

    Recent release “The Constitution of the United States: Updated for Better Government in the Twenty-First Century Second Edition” from Page Publishing author Boyd Harrison is an eye-opening read that discusses the author’s proposed ideas and changes he would make to the American Constitution in order to fix the problems that have arisen in the current American political landscape.

    Boyd Harrison, a retired senior officer of the U.S. military who served as a senior executive service leader in the U.S. government, with thirty-one years of federal service, has completed his new book “The Constitution of the United States: Updated for Better Government in the Twenty-First Century Second Edition”: a thought-provoking proposal of various alterations to the Constitution that the author believes would help modernize the document and repair the faltering democracy of America.

    The Constitution of the United States is Broken!

    “The Constitutional democracy of the United States has been severely challenged in recent times by President Donald J. Trump and the 115th through the 117th Congresses. They have shown us that the Constitution, as currently written and interpreted, is in dire need of revision in many areas. The public’s trust of the Congress and the Presidency is low, with little cooperation between the political parties to solve the nation’s problems. Recently, the Supreme Court, which has been highly respected historically, has fallen out of public trust due to excessive politicization. Many would say we get the government we deserve—because we, in our majority rule-based system, voted for it. The American people deserve a government that works for them since it is from the citizens that the government derives its power and authority. But all too often the leaders in government forget who the boss is—who they represent and serve,” said author Boyd Harrison.

    “In this highly revised second edition, [I present] specific areas, based on recent events, where the Constitution of the United States needs to be changed and updated for modern times and to meet current challenges. The Founding Fathers were not perfect, and while they wrote a brilliant document for their times, they recognized during their deliberations and debates the need for compromise and the limitations of their efforts. [I offer] these revisions to begin the conversation and debate as to what changes are necessary in order to improve the original form of government created in 1787, to preserve the republic for future generations, and to ‘…form a more perfect Union…’”

    Published by Page Publishing, Boyd Harrison’s fascinating analysis of the modern problems plaguing America and its democracy is built upon the author’s studying the nation’s laws, government, and the Constitution itself through his years of service. Harrison lays out his suggestions with the hope of inspiring his readers to think critically about the current state of the American government, and what can be done to steer it away from the crash course it is currently on.

    Readers who wish to experience this poignant work can purchase “The Constitution of the United States: Updated for Better Government in the Twenty-First Century Second Edition” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

    Madeline Martin’s newly released “No One Would Ever Believe Me: A Story of Hope, Courage and Triumph In the Face of Adversity” is a powerful memoir

    “No One Would Ever Believe Me: A Story of Hope, Courage and Triumph In the Face of Adversity” from Christian Faith Publishing author Madeline Martin is a potent look into the author’s life between 1961 and 1970 that reflects on a series of harrowing life experiences that would shape a young girl’s view of the world.

    “No One Would Ever Believe Me: A Story of Hope, Courage and Triumph In the Face of Adversity”: a gripping autobiographical work that will tug at the heartstrings and is the creation of published author Madeline Martin. Madeline was married for forty-seven years until her husband passed away from cancer in 2017. She has two adult sons, Brian and Chris, and is a grandmother to two grandchildren, Everly and Camden.

    Madeline shares, “I knew if I came out from under that bed that all chaos would happen. I stayed under the bed for a very long time until the police and my father finally convinced me it was safe to come out. I told the horrific story to my father. My life from that moment on changed forever. My family was forced to move, and my parents divorced. My mother became a single mother of six children and in the 1960s, a divorced woman was labeled with a capital S (Scarlet).

    “So many experiences in such a short time of life. Many are unbelievable, but each one is true.”

    Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Madeline Martin’s new book takes readers on an emotionally charged journey through adolescence into young adulthood.

    Martin provides readers with a deeply personal account of abuse, uncertainty, and self-discovery within the pages of this impactful reflection on life.

    Namsam reveals his personal history living through an abusive childhood

    Born into the baby boomer generation, author Namsam faced a challenging childhood. In his new autobiography, “Acceptable Abuse,” he shares his experiences growing up under the thumb of an abusive father.

    Growing up in an era where corporal punishment was deemed acceptable, Nasam frequently suffered at the hands of his father, and at the hands of those who his father encouraged to behave the same.

    “My father encouraged others to do whatever they felt was necessary to keep me in line,” Namsam said. “I would always question why, but I never received an answer.”

    In his book, he not only records his abuse, but his methods he used to survive, and eventually fight back. By sharing his own experiences, he wants to help others who have experienced, or are currently experiencing abuse.

    “Physical abuse in public is not acceptable anymore, but still continues behind closed doors,” Namsam said. “My main purpose for writing this book is to help others. I want those suffering abuse to know that they are not alone, and there is help available.”

    Namsam wants to show readers that they can heal and overcome the cycle of abuse.

    In New Book, Author Examines Topics Considered to Be Accepted Wisdom

    Readers are called on to dive deeper into what academia and media tout as true

    After more than 13 months of extensively researching topics such as the Big Bang Theory, evolution, politics and religion, global myths, divorce rates and more, author Mark Schwieso is asking readers to reconsider what is known as “truth” in his new work.

    “In my book, I present facts that you never hear,” he said. “People need to start researching issues that they consider important.”

    In “Don’t Tell Me: Critical Thinking: What Is It and Can I Buy It Online?” Schwieso shares his findings and calls out discrepancies. He urges readers to look deeper at information received daily from news outlets, social media and others, as well as what has been taught in school, by asking critical questions and researching on their own.

    “I want to inspire people to research the news and information they are being given,” said Schwieso. “It is crucial that we develop our own independent thought on the subjects. We need to find sources that give facts and let us decide on how to apply those facts.”

  • Christians and Muslims Are As Troubled As Isaac and Ishmael

    Christians and Muslims Are As Troubled As Isaac and Ishmael

    Xulon Press presents a comparison between Christianity and Islam.

    Author Ann Marlow Riedling hopes to build bridges to unite Christians and Muslims along their common ground with Is Your God My God? ($20.49, paperback, 9781662861406; $8.99, e-book, 9781662861420).

    Christianity and Islam share many similarities and much of their heritage, and yet their followers often share many misunderstandings about one another. Riedling has been privileged to spend extended periods of time in the Middle East and has cultivated meaningful relationships with Muslim people who have impressed her deeply. Because of those people and those relationships, she wants other Christians to understand what makes their religion different from Islam, but also the ways in which it is the same, and the commonalities the two share.

    “May Muslims who interact with those of us who follow Jesus benefit from meeting us; may they gain a deeper understanding of the Father’s heart of our great and loving Creator God. There is no other God than God. May this truth bring the world closer together in peace,” said Riedling.

    Dr. Rev. Ann Marlow Riedling was born in a small Christian family in southern Indiana. She is a devout Christian but has had extensive experiences with Muslims and the Islamic faith. Ann received her first doctorate in 1996 in Educational Administration and Distance Education. Her second doctorate was in Theology and Christian Education in 2012. She has written eighteen textbooks and two trade books about her experiences in the Middle East. Overall, Ann spent more than twenty years in various countries in the Middle East such as Oman, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Pakistan, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Dr. Riedling is a four-time Fulbright Scholar, serving in Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, Oman, and Pakistan.

    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.Is Your God My God? is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
