About Redemption’s Echo: Living in the Reflection of God’s Grace by Travis Vangsnes

Through personal stories and reflections, Redemption’s Echo reminds us that God is always masterfully at work using and repurposing our lives, our mess ups, and even the “ordinary” events in the everyday to create jaw dropping moments of beauty, hope, and redemption in and around us. Even in our suffering.

Redemption’s Echo also reminds us that every part of our lives is meant to resonate with the beauty of God’s ultimate work in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Vangsnes shines a bright spotlight on Jesus as the only source of true hope and shows us that Jesus has invaded not just our suffering, but even our despair.

In God’s story, the “weakest” can teach us about great strength, little kids can teach us what big faith looks like, and the suffering we face can help re-energize our faith. God’s plans are limited by nothing and every circumstance we face is a potential land mine to blow our minds with his love, nearness, and power!

Vangsnes refreshingly reminds how the gospel frees us from the futility of religious self effort and fuels our motivation to love and serve those around us with deeper grace and stronger compassion. With profound thoughts on joy in suffering from the author’s brain-injured brother (who cannot speak!) and stories of God showing up in unexpected places, Redemption’s Echo will change how you view your own life’s events in light of God’s greater purposes.

About From the Cornfields of Indiana to the Sands of Iwo Jima

In Thomas B. Speaker’s newest novel, “From the Cornfields of Indiana to the Sands of Iwo Jima,” two young men transition from high school basketball stars to soldiers fighting on the front lines of World War II with their fellow recruits as members of the United States Marine Corps.

Jack Allan and Larry Wellman are the star players on an Indiana high school basketball team, but suffer a devastating upset in their state tournament. Hoping to regain a sense of pride and purpose, they join the Marine Corps after graduation and quickly realize that life goes on as they bond with other young recruits through the rigors of boot camp. Jack, Larry and Bobby leave for Hawaii, Jonny and Derrick go to Shanghai and then on to the Philippines, while Bill heads to aviation training to become a Marine pilot.

On December 7, 1941, the world changes forever. Our young Marines are transformed from naive teens, to battle ready warriors on the front lines. In the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Larry and Bobby lead their squads onto the beaches of Guadalcanal, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. Derrick and Jonny struggle to survive the Bataan Death March. Bill takes part in Roosevelt’s greatest risk, the Doolittle Raid.

Full of adventure, excitement, tragedy, humor and romance, the book provides a relatable narrative for younger readers while rekindling past memories for an older audience. Speaker hopes readers learn that “we as Americans were bound together for the good of all.”

P.R. Williamson loves writing about himself in the third person. He also lives in Japan and wears matching socks. Although he has never knowingly seen a yokai, he suspects that some of them now ride motorbikes. Japanese period dramas float his boat, with favourites including the Taiga Dramas: Dokuganryu Masamune (1987, starring a very young Ken Watanabe!), Gunshi Kanbe (2014, featuring the excellent Yosuke Eguchi), and Sanada Maru (2016). On a more fantastical note, he likes Zatoichi (2003, starring Takeshi Kitano), Goemon (2009, starring Yosuke Eguchi), and the Ruroni Kenshin Trilogy (2012-2014) (starring Takeru Sato and the ever-present Yosuke Eguchi).

Author Bio:
Raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, in the heart of the Appalachians, I cherish the memories of my youth among those regal mountains—memories of tumbling in colorful autumn leaves that my daughter said resembled Fruity Pebbles, sledding down hills of firmly-packed snow, swimming in frigid mountain streams.

My husband calls my childhood home Dick and Jane country.

Even though I feel blessed to have experienced the majesty that is the Appalachians, my heart belongs to the deep South, to the pristine coast of my birth. Each year, as summer approached and school drew to a close, I’d shiver with excitement as we loaded the station wagon and prepared to return to Pawleys Island, on the coast of South Carolina.

I smile at the reminiscences of hours spent swaying in the sea breeze in a Pawleys Island rope hammock or lying on the sand, listening to crashing waves and beach music drifting from my transistor radio. Remembrances of rekindling summer friendships and shagging at the pavilion until the band called, “Last dance,” warm my heart. The recollections of jumping waves to exhaustion, crabbing in the creek, tending sunburn with Noxzema, and strolling in the surf under a full moon will forever bring a lump to my throat.

This life-long passion for the coast makes me return summer after summer, where I create new and lasting memories with each visit.

My enduring love affair with the beach has managed to find its way into my writing. Pawleys Island, South Carolina, that much loved beach of my childhood, appears in my first novel, GETTING THE IMPORTANT THINGS RIGHT, while Emerald Isle, North Carolina, the beach of my adult years, plays an important role in my second work, LESSONS I LEARNED FROM NICK NACK. Fictional Pelican Isle, North Carolina, the beach of my dreams, is the setting for my current release, THE GIFTS OF PELICAN ISLE.

About Happily Never Forever

Emerson had three goals in life: Take care of her family, make enough money to pay the bills, and not fall back in love with Rhett Cormack. One of these goals proved impossible.

There comes a moment in a girl’s life when she finds out that princes aren’t real, tiaras are impractical and wet wipes are God’s gift to struggling moms. Emerson had that moment when she ended up a single mom to a hell raising two year old and a pubescent teenager aka her sister.

She thought life was as good as it would get and she was happy(ish).

Until her childhood best friend walked back into her life and showed her all she had been doing was exist.

Rhett never liked rules. Especially not the ones pressed upon him by his family. He was part of the Cormack legacy. Leading an empire was his birth right. Becoming a tycoon in his blood. His way in life was decided for him, his choices never his own. The only thing he ever really cared about was Emerson. Until he left without a word, turning his back on the one person that meant everything to him.

Is it too late to make good on a promise given many years ago and try their hand at forever?
