Passing the Test of Faith by Eddie L. Johnson  

About Passing the Test of Faith by Eddie L. Johnson

Exemption from a faith test is not an option, and at some point in our lives, we will have to take one. What if the test is trials experienced from bad relationships, adversities caused by health issues, or hardships as a result of financial challenges.
Do you trust God enough to turn them completely over to Him first?

When his three-year-old son Kendall was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, Eddie Johnson faced his biggest faith test. Friends asked him, “How can you have that much faith in such a challenging situation?” Not knowing how to answer this question, Eddie went in search of the foundation of his faith.

In Passing the Test of Faith, Eddie shares compelling personal stories and three fundamental steps for overcoming the storms of life. These steps along with the activation of faith will help readers move their mountains positioning them to pass their faith test so that God can get the glory and they can receive the rewards He has promised through faith.

As readers journey through this book of life experiences, they will be inspired and motivated to build a closer relationship with God, strengthen their trust and love for Him knowing that God can help them through their greatest challenges.

Half-Emrys: The Two Masters (The Emrys Chronicles Book 2) by Lisa Rector  

About Half-Emrys: The Two Masters (The Emrys Chronicles Book 2) by Lisa Rector

An epic romantic fantasy. Two powers, two masters, only one fate. Free May 4th & 5th!

Choose the light or choose the darkness, but you cannot have both.

As Einion’s coronation approaches, the doubts about his worthiness overshadow him. He’s a half-emrys, a child with both light and dark energies inside. In the mortal world, he can wield both powers, but having known only the light’s purity in the immortal realm where he grew up, Einion fears the dark power that leads to corruption. Despairs over his heart, and two women, increase his uncertainties, and Einion must face an evil greater than that inside himself—to save the one he truly loves.

As a ruthless dark emrys, the chosen vessel for her bodiless master trapped in his eternal prison, Rhianu exists only to do her master’s bidding. But when a mission goes horribly awry, Rhianu stumbles into Einion’s life, only to be challenged by her versions of good and evil. Her heart is torn between power and love, between the past and the future. Betrayal is something Rhianu’s familiar with, and knowing its repercussions, she must follow through with her master’s plan to destroy Einion—no matter what the consequences or what her heart tells her.

“An ingenious look at the power of divine light inside immortals and humans, the ability to harness the energy, and the choices a person must make when darkness interferes.”

Current Feels: For those who feel too much  

About Current Feels: For those who feel too much

“there’s a muchness in the way i love.
a current-like passion not everyone knows how to embrace.
you must be brave enough to cuddle fire to love me right.”

Current Feels is about love – the yearning, having, rejection, betrayal and the confusion that often comes with crushing. Written over four chapters named after the seasons (Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring), it is about how love can make the heart bloom like a garden in Summer in as much as it can frost it like a cold Winter night. The essence of it is to show those who feel intensely that life in love is beautiful in all it’s stages.

Lost Mum, Lost Love, Lost Dog by P C Kenet  

About Lost Mum, Lost Love, Lost Dog by P C Kenet

My mum died when I was 11 and I started to write poetry to help me understand and come to terms with her death. Over the next 10 years I realised I understood as much about love as I did death and so wrote about that too. Now, 25 years on, as I approach the same age as when she died, and with 2 kids myself, this book of poems is a dedication to my mum from a boy who grew up without one.

Author Bio:
I am your very typical 35 year old man with a 9-5 job. I began writing when I was 11 and continued until I was 22 and met the right girl. I seemed to only need to scribble words when I was feeling down, anxious or sad but I haven’t felt the need since meeting my now wife – a great 13 years.

However I first started writing after my mum died of cancer in 1994. I found it such a great release that I continued to write about love, girls and the passing of my childhood dog.

I have always wanted to publish my poetry but never got around it to until now. I am approaching the age when my mum died and to think of my kids not having a mother is the single most terrifying thing. This book is a dedication to her and to anyone else young or old who has lost a parent.



15 Questions About Online Advertising  

About 15 Questions About Online Advertising

The real question of course is: Does online advertising work?

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to give a simple answer to this apparently straightforward question.

For starters, this is not a single question, but at least three different ones.
The right question to ask would be: for whom does online advertising work?

Do banner ads, what we once called interactive advertising and now call display ads because nobody clicks on them, and much less “interacts” with them, work for publishers? Do they work for advertisers? Or do they just work for the middlemen based in Silicon Valley?
