Congratulations, Alamo-Girl, on the Release of Your New Book!

There Is Only One Great Commandment
Lulu Press, 2008

It is my honor and distinct pleasure to announce the publication of Alamo-Girl’s new book, There Is Only One Great Commandment, a prayerful work of Christian witness and devotion that speaks to how one centers one’s life in God. A non-denominational, non-sectarian work, it focuses on Christian living — on the growth of the Image of Christ in our souls, in our everyday lives.

In There Is Only One Great Commandment, Alamo-Girl offers to conduct you on a spiritual walk through the Scriptures, using the Lord’s Prayer as the guiding map, mining the truths embedded within that prayer. As marron writes on the cover, "Each word and phrase has been pulled out, held to the light, admired, contemplated, and then returned carefully to its place. And the way it was written is exactly the right way to read this book: This is not a book to read in a day but tasted and chewed morsel by morsel. Take your time. Let it sink in line by line. You won’t be disappointed."

All to the glory of God — in Christian faith and confident affirmation that there is only one great commandment: To love God with your whole heart, and soul, and mind — to love Him surpassingly above all else.

And thus we have yet another work published by a Freeper author! Earlier this year, likelight published his excellent A Believer’s Guide to Legal Issues (which very lately was an invaluable resource for me as I faced a case of “settle or litigate” in my own personal life). As the cover jacket says, this book “isn’t written for legal scholars or ivory-tower intellectuals, but for average Christians currently interacting in some way with the legal system (whether by choice or unavoidable circumstance). It promotes a system of Christian legal ethics that restores relationships, values integrity, and promotes peace. It confronts an out-of-control secular legal system that destroys relationships, idolizes greed, and celebrates revenge…. Readers will be enlightened, encouraged in their faith, and empowered in their ability to make sound decisions to honor that faith, even in the high-stakes, pressure-filled, secular legal arena.”

In 2006, Alamo-Girl and betty boop published their collaboration, Don’t Let Science Get You Down, Timothy, to which marron contributed two brilliant articles. The book has been described by an astrophysicist reviewer as “one of the rare attempts nowadays to restore the unity of science and religion. It presents a good picture of present-day science, focusing on the perennial great questions regarding the relations between Man and the Universe. It attempts the virtually impossible: to present a constructive dialog of diametrically opposed worldviews. It succeeds in opening a challenging avenue of conversation between materialists and open-minded religious people….”

I have learned that there are other works in progress within the Freerepublic creative community! So stay tuned….

CONGRATULATIONS, Alamo-Girl, on the publication of this marvelous work of Christian witness, testimony, and spirituality!

Oh you're so welcome, LikeLight! A Believer's Guide to Legal Issues is a truly wonderful book! And as I mentioned, it was a great help to me recently in deciding whether to "go to law" or not. You encouraged me to see beyond my own narrow interest to grasp the "big picture." My decision was based on that.

Plus I have to mention that the cover design and interior design are superb! It's just a lovely book!

Thanks again, betty! We've been doing pretty well getting The Believer's Guide out there into people's hands, where it will do some real good. And I've heard a number of very encouraging testimonies like yours from other readers!

Sales have been steady, but I've noticed a decline in the last few weeks. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking, for some strange reason, folks don't want to think about law and lawyers during the Holidays? Anyway, I'm trying to come up with a compelling seasonal tie-in, to hopefully get the first printing sold out by year's end!

LOLOL LikeLight! Maybe so! But don't you take it personally! :^)

Your book can do a whole lot of good for a whole lot of people with all kinds of problems touching on the law. It's a very modest price to pay for valuable insights into our legal system — things people ought to know for their own safety before they "go to law," create wills and trusts, or other estate planning devices. There be sharks out there!!!

Truly I hope and pray that you'll sell out the first edition by year's end!
