"<p><b>Crystal Charlotte (CC) Lane returns to the literary scene with ?Shilpa?s Blue Crayon?</b><br> <i>New novel delivers a thrilling romance that explores courage, love and multicultural themes</i><p> CHICAGO ? From the author of ?Kevin and KatheRINe in the Next Lifetime? comes another stirring romance novel that will take readers on a journey that transcends boundaries, races and cultures. In ?Shilpa's Blue Crayon? (published by Archway Publishing), author Crystal Charlotte (CC) Lane invites readers to follow the life of Shilpa, a gifted African American artist whose unusual ocean-blue eyes set her apart in ways that both inspire and isolate her.<p> Shilpa?s story unfolds within two worlds ? reality and the vivid world of make-believe. The novel masterfully intertwines romance, suspense, passion, and societal commentary as Shilpa navigates the complexities of her identity, the expectations placed on her, and the danger that threatens her loved ones. As readers turn each page, they will witness Shilpa?s transformation from a shy, self-conscious young woman into a resilient force of nature determined to protect those she loves. The book?s unexpected twists will keep them engage until the very end.<p> ?Shilpa's Blue Crayon? weaves rich, multicultural themes with gripping narratives. It is a story about strength, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace one?s unique qualities. A hallmark of Lane?s storytelling is her portrayal of true beauty that goes beyond physical appearance. ?When considering a person's value in this world, ?looks? should not be the most important factor,? the author explains. ?Qualities like personality, character, intelligence, kindness, and integrity are far more significant in building meaningful relationships and determining someone's worth as an individual. It is one's values that are important.?<p> The novel also features a special foreword written by four-time Grammy winner Deniece Williams, whose insight adds a layer of depth and meaning to the narrative.<p> When asked what she wants readers to take away from ?Shilpa?s Blue Crayon,? Lane says, ?It's true that strong Black women can be stereotyped and characterized by strength, self-reliance, and caretaking; and strong Black women are often depicted as women who are able to withstand difficult circumstances and provide for others without regard to their own needs. To a point, this is true, but like any woman, Black women want love, joy, and respect in their lives as well; and some want families with a loving husband. And to fight for that is ok too.?<p> ?Shilpa?s Blue Crayon? is available now at Archway Publishing and other major online retailers.<p> ?Shilpa's Blue Crayon?<br> By Crystal Charlotte (CC) Lane<br> Hardcover | 6 x 9in | 276 pages | ISBN 9781665766340<br> Softcover | 6 x 9in | 276 pages | ISBN 9781665766326<br> E-Book | 276 pages | ISBN 9781665766333<br> Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble</p>"

As rumors of coup d&rsquo;etat swirl around the prince, an alliance between the youth and the flagging Member of Parliament (MP) secures hope of a safe ascension.

"Ask the Lord to lead you. His guidance will provide the new leash you need in your life. It will sustain you through the most challenging times, and it will be your shield from evil, harm, and danger. The greatest advice, peace, comfort, wisdom, and hope come from scriptures in the Bible. Psalm 23 sums it up best! Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd (to feed, guide, and shield me), I shall not lack. He makes me to lie down in (fresh, tender) green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness (upright and right standing with Him-not for my earning it, but) for His name?s sake. Yes, though I walk through the (deep, sunless) valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no dread or evil, for You are with me; Your rod (to protect) and Your staff (to guide), they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my (brimming) cup runs over. Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord (and His presence) shall be my dwelling place. To God be the glory for all He has done, and for all He will continue to do for us, so long as we ask Him, and believe in Him."

Some Romans believed Jesus was the Son of God, others persecuted and killed Christians. Among the most grateful for the life of Jesus were the many he healed of recent or lifelong diseases and infirmities, or even death. It was the most transformative day of their lives. No other person has impacted human life and history more than Jesus. See him through the eyes of those who knew him best!

"What if Scripture could speak to us not just through its words, but through the hearts of the people who lived it? In The Word in Their Voices, poetry becomes a window into the living Word of God?seen through the eyes of Mary at the foot of the Cross, of Judas in his agony, of the Centurion, of Peter, Stephen, and the unnamed ones who walked beside Christ. This collection invites readers to experience sacred Scripture as a living drama, unfolding in human voices that echo across centuries. Written by a Catholic pilgrim bearing the baptismal name Augustine, this book emerges from a life steeped in both healing and searching. After decades dedicated to medicine, the author now turns to the deeper healing of the soul, offering meditations shaped by personal devotion, Church tradition, and love for the Word of God. Each poem is paired with reflection and scriptural insight?designed not to instruct from above but to walk beside, as a fellow traveler might. These are not just retellings of biblical stories; they are invitations to dwell in them, pray with them, and live them."
<p>Moses&rsquo;s credibility as the author of the first five books of God&rsquo;s relationship with mankind stems from his unflinching candid veracity detailing his and the nation of Israel&rsquo;s truthfully difficult relationship with God. That said I sometimes see a little different than the run of the mill narrative and that causes me to want to write. I humbly believe we read these beautiful heart throbbing stories with no emotion. We somehow leave out the anxiety, the fear, the laughter, the joy, the blood, or falling on our knees reaction moments when they are delivered or healed by God. As you read this book, it is my sincere hope that the Biblical and historical character Moses will become &ldquo;alive&rdquo; to you, and you may be encouraged to pursue the same kind of lively relationship with God as Moses did.</p>
<p>The 5 Respect Principles offers a supernatural faith-based framework to help men reconnect with their true identity in the faith and heal from traumatic wounds, emotional or relational.

Ultimately, it sharpens their sense of honor and love and respect with our Creator, God the Father, in Jesus Christ our Lord.</p>

"WARNING Be prepared to be amused by the odd ways of the characters here portrayed in the first section of the book devoted to Limericks. Be prepared to feel sympathy for their mishaps and trials. But especially be prepared to be shocked by their goings-on and shenanigans - the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transsexual, the transvestite, the masochist, the homosexual and many more. However also enjoy the more gentle humour of the later lengthier works set both in the UK and Australia which include homage to the Australian love of sport and the beach as well as a sad childhood tale."
"Letters to my dog is a collection of poems. They are heartfelt declarations of the connections of owners to their dogs. They tell of the beauty of having a dog in your life, the unconditional love that a dog brings. The companionship of an animal that brings such joy to people. It also tells of the crushing feeling of losing a dog when they pass, no longer a part of your life. The emptiness it brings, the absence of such a beautiful part of your life that no longer exists They encompass all that having a dog in your life is about, the joy, the love and the sadness. Thankfully dogs exist, for the world is a more beautiful place with dogs in it and part of our lives."
"John McConnell was visiting elementary school classrooms to teach science when he came upon a shy third-grade boy who did not want to go to school. Ryan wanted to stay home and build robots. That sparked McConnell?s interest, and he discovered Ryan had an intensity for electronics uncommon for his age. The boy already had great building skills and was doing circuit drawings. The author?s curiosity led him to mentor Ryan?an arrangement that lasted well beyond college and resulted in the winning of $500,000 worth of cash, scholarships, and a Dr. Glen Seaborg week trip to the Nobel Awards. When McConnell was not mentoring Ryan, he was visiting classes in the area, presenting his program hands-on science and mentoring other students. When a school district gave him six thousand square feet of space, he created the Western Colorado Math & Science Center with over 150 exhibits. Students came on field trips from more than 100 miles away. McConnell also conducted science workshops to train teachers, capping his career of volunteerism by founding the Eureka! McConnell Science Museum in Grand Junction, Colorado."
Inspired by her former pastor, Robert (Bob) Greene, who closed church services with beautifully prepared prayers, Melissa began to compose her own prayers for a church bible study group.
