Beyond the Sky and Sea
$16.99
Writing Beyond the Sky and Sea has been an incredible journey…painting pictures of life and the world around us through the art form of poetry. During the writing of this collection of poetry, there was, as T.S. Eliot once wrote, “time… for a hundred visions and revisions…,” until, eventually, I simply had to let what will be…be. I hope that this book will not only be captivating and inspirational, but that it will further my vision of making poetry more enjoyable and fascinating for people today. In this compelling collection of new poetry, I’ve drawn from the inspiration of the natural world, scenes by the ocean, biblical narratives, love, and the moments and memories of life to write a book that I believe will resonate with all types of readers. Beyond the Sky and Sea features many memorable poems, such as “Beyond the Sands of Time,” “Cancun,” “Flights of Seagulls,” “Now, Somehow,” and “Visions,” as well as a variety of poetic forms (like narratives, sonnets, dizain poems, and Eastern poetry). I have also included “Obscured View, Pt. 2” and “pool, pt. 2,” which are sequels to poems from my last book, Reflections on the Water. I’d like to express immense gratitude to all of my family, friends, my kids, and my wife, Stephanie, for all of your love and support. I’d also like to send special thanks to Ruth O’Neil. Thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy of any of my books. Most of all, thanks to God for His grace and continued inspiration to write and publish books.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
