About the Author

Sharon Aseltine Plumb was born in Ashland, Oregon, in 1950. Her entire childhood consisted of living in a poverty-filled lifestyle. Her family constantly moved from state to state, and she was forced to start a new school time and time again. When her two younger siblings were born in her early teen years, she automatically fell into the motherly role, watching over them when her parents were gone. Sometimes they had little to feed them, but Sharon would make what she could for dinner. No matter what, she would always be there for them and give what she could. This is who she was and will always be. Sharon would continue to care for others throughout her entire life.

When she had a family of her own, she would continue to give her all, caring for her family as best as she could. Soon grandkids came along, and she would be there for them, giving them love. So when she began working at the monument shop, her calling continued. She would meet strangers and hear their stories of their loss of loved ones and would listen quietly, offering any condolences she could to ease their suffering and pain. She called this her gift and could talk to anyone, and they would feel the need to open up and share with her all of the cherished memories and heartfelt stories of their loved ones. Then she would share with them the Word of God, and somehow people would always accept what she would tell them. The years of working along with her husband, Gary, at the monument business have allowed her to continue to care for many people effortlessly and minister to them about the Word of God.

"The Crown or Clown" by Linda A Drumgoole

 



About the Book

Initially, ‘The Crown or The Clown’ was written to inspire single females yearning for a husband. Unknowingly, my egoistically arranged path to their desire was for them to wait on that god-ordained relationship that was intended specifically for them. However, in writing ‘The Crown or The Clown’, I was reminded of my personal journeys, my hills and valleys, my unsuccessful paths, and subsequent consequences while I was seeking what I perceived as that “perfect” attainable relationship. I was humbled, contrite and yielded to the direction of the Holy Spirit as I moved forward in writing ‘The Crown or The Clown’. You see, I then understood and accepted God’s Will…God’s Way.

My prayer is that as the reader goes through each page, absorbs each experience of my journeys, and faithfully participates in each activity from the beginning to the end, they will attain a soul-rendering illumination of the gospel.

My hope is for each reader to have their own individual experiences of 1). A sincere release and self-forgiveness from the bondages of the past, 2). A complete wholeness of who they truly are and who they belong to spiritually, and 3). The authentic acceptance that the desires of their heart comes when they have a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Only then can they be open and obedient to the biblically based desires for a purposed, destined and ordained relationship intended for them through Jesus Christ.

"The Great American Backslide and Our Silent Partnership with Darkness: Living in Opposition to Evil's Influence" - By M. Rene Lauzier

 



Change is accelerating and the world of 2023 is unrecognizable from the world that existed just five years ago. In a very subtle and incremental manner, American society has been transformed from what once was the world's premiere super-power, a country that was exalted as an example of freedom, justice, morality, and liberty, into a divided group of many tribes, cultures, and political and special interest groups often lacking a moral compass. We go with the loudest tribe fitting our basic ideals or choose to go it alone. And when we try to avoid the many tribes of destruction, we often tend to adopt the idol of the god of self. Community and unity are being left to die a slow, painful death.

America's true north has become obscured because we decided to forego God as the light for our path. This has allowed us to quickly forget the race worth running as well as those foundational values that once comprised what we stood for as a country. But how did we get here and how can the trend of moral decay and divisiveness be reversed? The Great American Backslide came about as a result of not just understanding that our natural tendency as humans is to be selfish and sinful, but knowing we are being given substantial assistance by the dominion of darkness. This book will take us through an analysis of biblical, secular, and non-secular explanations of the existence of evil; how it induces cultural paradigm shifts aimed to ultimately separate us from God; how evil leverages our emotions, our brain chemistry, and our sinful human nature to manipulate subtle and incremental compromises of truth; how evil sustains itself and creates ever-increasing moral decay leading to further evil through a cycle of depravity; and how we can go about living in opposition to evil influences upon our world.

Brenda Ann Green Publishes New Book - "Lord, Is This You?; Yes, It Is!; A Memoir"

 



This writing started out as a simple desire to write a person's story of her life experiences based on her testimony. My inspiration evolved into a testimonial for God--seeing how God would move on our behalf to orchestrate events in our lives, working through the people we know or don't know to bring those events to pass.Orchestration of miracles is a specialty of God's. He's been doing it since the beginning. He orchestrated us having a Savior to bring to us salvation and eternal life through our faith in Him, our Lord Jesus Christ. I've learned that God has already orchestrated many blessings, directions, or actions we're to take in our lives in the heavenly realm that only need to be brought to the natural. We bring things to the natural by faith through prayer, through our taking action on our dreams, and through obeying what we know God has spoken to us to do, and especially if it is on our hearts to do something for someone else.So what is my opinion about cremation after my experience? I was reminded that God is the greatest Orchestrator of all time. Only He could have arranged the events that I have documented in this writing.

Russ Breault Releases "Shroud Encounter"

 It was a crime scene investigation like no other. A man was tortured, beaten, and killed. He was popular with the people, but many in power wanted Him dead. After a mock trial, the powerful had their way. He was given a hasty burial, but now the body has disappeared. Was there a clue left behind? A bloody sheet offers evidence of a horrific execution. Was the body stolen? By whom and why? Did it just vanish? What does the cloth reveal about the disappearance?

The Shroud of Turin (Italy) bears the faint front and back image of a bearded crucified man with corresponding bloodstains that match the Gospel accounts of what happened to Jesus. It is the most analyzed artifact in the world yet remains an unsolved mystery. While there are no artistic substances on the linen cloth, the blood is real, and testing corresponds with type AB. The blood has soaked through the cloth; however, the image resides only on the top 1 percent of the surface fibers. Could it be the same Shroud that wrapped Jesus in the tomb?

The Shroud poses the ultimate either-or proposition as either the actual burial cloth of Jesus or the product of human effort, as a work of devotional art or a masterful hoax. There is nothing in between.

The culmination of a lifetime of research, countless presentations, and ongoing associations with Shroud experts worldwide, Russ Breault’s Shroud Encounter—Explore the World’s Greatest Unsolved Mystery examines the science, history, and theology surrounding this profound enigma. If proven one day to be authentic, the implications could truly shake the world.
