No Other Choice: The Naomi Chronicles, Book One
By Paula Rose Michelson

About the Book:

Naomi will be sent back! She left her family and all she held dear, traveled half way around the word while accompanying a blind, old grandmother because they promised to help her enter America and find her uncle. Instead they handed her over to immigration.

What she does now, she does because there is no other choice!

This is Naomi’s journey from adolescence to womanhood, from frightened isolation and captivity to the noble status of heiress. Trapped in a life where all who know her think her a saint, saddled with a mission and responsibility many would shirk from placed upon her shoulders, Naomi agrees to marry because that seems to be the easiest way to sidestep more issues.

As timely as the immigration debate of today is, author, William Struse’s endorsement says, “Duty, sacrifice, and faith are carried in the arms of love by a courageous young woman, who rises above her own flaws to help others.”

As a Messianic Jew, Paula Rose Michelson wanted to write about life, love, choices, and forgiveness. She researched what befell the Jews baptized into the Catholic faith to survive the Inquisition, and when she began to write The Naomi Chronicles, Naomi told her the story you are about to read.

Because of her extensive background in recovery as a Chemical Dependency – Lifestyle Disorder Councilor, her work with The Rubicon Center, and as the founded LAMB Ministries in 1988, where she continues to mentor women suffering from trauma and abuse the way God mentored her, the author knows that though her heroine’s story is unique, Naomi’s issues of fear and hiding are universal, for they are seen in anyone who is masking their real pain.

Paula Rose Michelson is the wife of Lutheran Pastor and Chosen People Field Missionary, Ron Michelson. The mother of two married daughters, and grandmother of seven grandchildren, when not involved in ministry, writing, speaking, or teaching the effective use of scripture, you will find Paula researching her next book or meeting with friends.

Brownie and the Dream

Brownie the dog

When my brother and I were children, our family had a dog that showed us what unconditional love was all about. I dreamed about him last night.

The first frame of my dream showed our present day cat, Lily, twining around the legs of a medium sized brown dog. I saw the legs and then I saw the dog. It was Brownie! Immediately I felt as if I were a child again. I was so surprised and delighted that I threw my arms around him and cried. Pure love was coming from his warm, furry body while he just sat there.

I never quite realized before that Brownie was one of God’s chief representatives in our lives. Brownie never found any fault in us. He went everywhere we went and protected us every day of our lives. He was part of us.

Lately, I’ve been practicing hearing from God. Today I got a big surprise. I learned that I don’t have to be any more perfectly right with God in order to hear what he’s saying than I had to be to “earn” Brownie’s love. God isn’t going to criticize me. Right now I’m reading Mark Holloway’s book, The Freedom Diaries. Here’s what God told Mark.

“You have thought you had to be right with me to hear me speak. Haven’t you read the Bible? It’s a collection of stories about me turning up and talking clearly to people who are going about their lives without any more moral purity than anyone else around them. Moses, Gideon, Esther, Saul, Simon Peter, Isaiah.”

Talk away, Lord, I’m listening, and I’m loving what you’re saying. Thank you for the dream about Brownie that reminded me what it was like to have someone love me fully and unconditionally.

I’m getting new ideas for the Sunday School class, I know Bill is getting over his flu, and I’m not concerned about it. I’m learning more every day about the exciting plans God has for me. Life is fun. “I Just Feel Like Something Good is About to Happen.” Gaither song.

Read Isaiah 6:5 , Luke 5:8 to see what Isaiah and Simon Peter thought at first about hearing from God.

Seeing The Life

Seeing The Life
By Sophie Dawson

About the Book

Seeing The Life is a look at the life of Yeshua the Christ in a way never used before. Dassa, the daughter of the innkeeper, is sent to fetch the midwife to help the young woman in the stable give birth. She and Mary become close friends as do Micah, her fiance then husband, and Joseph. Separated when the young family flees Bethlehem in the night, their friendship resumes several years later in Jerusalem.

Dassa and Micah know Yeshua is special, but he is still a boy with a boy’s interests and love of life. Through the years the families, though separated most of the year, spend time together in Jerusalem during the Jewish Festivals. Then Yeshua begins speaking and teaching.

Micah, Joseph of Arimethea, their sons and others who follow and believe Yeshua’s message. Yet do they really understand it? Is he the long awaited messiah who will free the Jews from the grip of Rome? What do the stories he tells really mean?

Seeing The Life sees the life of Yeshua within the social and political culture of the time. Not only do we see his ministry but also his family and friendships as he grew. Yeshua was a normal baby who cried, spit up, wet and messed. He was a child who fell and skinned his knees. He lost his baby teeth. He had siblings. He had friends. My goal was to show the humanness of Yeshua’s life. We see him as fully God but often miss that he was fully man, boy and baby also.
