New Book

An astonishing new work that links the spiritual salvation of mankind to the survival of our planet. This is an essential read for any Christian concerned about our families, our souls, our nation and the fate of the planet itself. Paul Pastelo shows us through Biblical fact how Jesus Christ came to earth called by His Father in Heaven to redeem mankind and also the earth itself. This is a MUST READ by a compelling and inspired author. The opening pages to ‘Fields-of-being’ gives an indication of the compelling material contained in this work.

Prologue:

The following pages contain what may well be the most important story ever told. Not because I have written it, for I am merely

an instrument called upon to record these facts.

It’s a story about a Hero and the redemption of mankind. A story of a fragile blue planet, once pristine, but now on its knees, and of how these two things are inextricably linked.

It’s a story of how we can not only save our souls and the souls of our children, but how each and every one of us can help save this planet and restore the earth to its former glory by following the example of Jesus Christ and fulfilling our God-given purpose in life, our own, unique callings in the Fields-of-being.

And ultimately it’s story of how Jesus Christ showed us the solution to these problems by his life, his journey, and his death.

This may well be the greatest story in the world.

Galway Hooker racing off Inis Mór

I have known the longing, known that I was lost

I knew it as a child, before the open door

I knew it as a stranger, onto the foreign shore

That feeling left me only, when I returned to Inis Mór

‘The Storyteller of Inis Mor’ received a great write-up in the Irish Press here in Australia, all the more welcome as Frank O’Shea is renowned as a tough and fearless reviewer!

            The Australian Irish Echo’s Review. January 2015 – “A story such as this is very much in the tradition of Irish storytelling with strong, vibrant prose that reminds of the great Irish writers such as Sean O’Faolain and Benedict Kiely.” Frank O’Shea. Literary critic – Australian Irish Echo.

Amazon 5 Star Review. By Kathleen Davis. “Not since The Shack have I been so deeply moved by a book. The Storyteller of Inis Mor, by author, Brian O’Raleigh, has acutely identified the world in which we live of broken families and splintered cultures. While the Best Seller List is littered with senseless violence and sex, O’Raleigh reaches to the depths of one’s soul with beautiful prose and genuine storytelling. As the main character struggles to find himself and save his family, his story resonates with authenticity and insight lost on so many. This beautifully told story should be required reading for all families to encourage self-appraisal of their values. The real “seanchai” in this book is the author, Brian O’Raleigh, who can proudly walk in the footprints of the great Irish authors.”

An Irish Blessing

 

An Irish Blessing to all our friends.
   May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face, …

The rains fall soft upon your fields and,

Until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
