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!
Thank you, dear The Mayor!
Hi wagglebee! Thank you so very much for your support and encouragement! I look forward to any comments you might want to share.
Hi dear friend! Thank you so very much for your encouragements! I pray all is well with you and yours.
All credit for the cover design goes to betty boop! On top of being brilliant and eloquent, as it turns out she also has quite an artistic talent as well.
I don't expect "Great Command" to be a big seller, I just pray that it will helpful.
Thank you so much for the Terri Dailies ping! What an important work you are doing, dear wagglebee!
Thank you oh so very much, dear Vision!
It'll probably be a few weeks before it is available through the major resellers (Barnes & Noble etc.) and even then, it'll likely be a special order (the ISBN number will help them find it quickly) because I doubt they'd want to stock an obscure author. Amazon will be carrying it, but it is available now at Lulu Press.
The price is the same no matter who sells it, but Amazon does offer free shipping if your total order is $25 or more. (I tend to be a penny-pincher and bundle my purchases at Amazon. LOLOL!)
Thank you so very much for your encouragements, dear Tribune7!
