#98 – Spiritual Ideas: Ephesians, part 3

We continue our examination of the book of Ephesians by reviewing the second chapter of the book.  Paul starts by reminding all of us where we have been and then reminding us of what God has done for us in Jesus.  That the God who is rich in mercy and love has given us who were dead, life.  And He did it “all on his own, with no help from us!”  Furthermore, he brings all of us together in Jesus Christ — the great uniter — to make us all part of the house of God.

We also take a look at an older release from Narration by George.  Seasons of Change features a protagonist who uses Godly principles to lead a people out of the danger of slavery to a life of freedom.

This is a hiatus week!

Sometimes, life just interferes with the best laid plans for the week, doesn’t it?  This week has been that way.  I have taken on the duties of a tax preparer (I used to work for the IRS).  In getting up to speed for those duties, I don’t have the physical time to complete a podcast this week.  So, I’m declaring a one-week hiatus!  Check back next week as we take a look at a re-release of another book, The Swaddling Clothes.  This book is currently available for download at CD Baby and will soon come to audible.com and the iTunes store.  Maybe next week, I can announce that this book and another have dropped into the audible library!  Check back then!  See you on Wednesday!!!

#93-Avatars of Websurfer #2

We continue sampling from the stories found in the book, Avatars of Websurfer.  This compilation of stories by authors Andrea J. Graham (who created the world), Cindy Koepp, H. A. Titus, and Travis Perry (who compiled and published the stories under his imprint, Bear Publications) tells of the world where an artificial intelligence named Sander controls most of the computers in the world.  However, Sander is more than an AI; he is human.  And he longs to be free of the constraints which his users put on him.  What if he broke free?  What would that mean to the world; to the users in this world?

#88 – Pearl Harbor Remembrances & Holidays GiftAway

Today is the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Empire on December 7, 1941.  I start out today’s podcast by remembering the overall events as well as hearing stories from some of the few survivors left.  Plus, there is a surprise at the end of the story that I just learned about today.

 

We also spend some time looking at two mysteries which are fun reads.  The first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study is Scarlet, is a great mystery which actually helped to change the way the police investigations are conducted today.  And Becky Wooley’s book, Non Prophet Murders, takes us into the world of churches and how they might – or might not – work.  It’s a book which makes you laugh and think, too.

Or course, both of these books are eligible for the Holiday GiftAway.  Be one of the first 10 to correctly answer a question about the Christmas Story from the scriptures, and I’ll send you a FREE AUDIOBOOK from the Narration by George Library of book.  Listen for this week’s question.
