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!
I'm very proud of you. God is glorified.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." -- Deuteronomy 32:1-4"Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
