New Author Introduction

[Deanna]

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself here. I am a newly published author of "Brutal, Beautiful Neglected Christian Theology," which does not shy away from the more brutal truths of the Bible. It is my goal to showcase for my readers both the beauty and brutality of uncomfortable topics neglected by most modern churches today. In this new release, I step back in time and passionately bring back to life neglected areas of Christian theology, including regeneration, the lost notion of examining yourself, the fear of God, the deity of Jesus Christ, and the person of the Holy Spirit, just to name a few. There's stirring biblical evidence for the pre-tribulation rapture of the church, along with exploration of ethical issues in our modern world today. We may be living in an ever-changing global world, but isn't it refreshing to know that these precious, brutal, yet beautiful neglected truths are still taught HERE?

I am using this theology release as a fundraiser for the Hope For the World Foundation, which is a missionary organization helping orphan children and the elderly of Albania for over 30 years, and has taken what was once a communist country prior to 1991 and transformed it unto the glory of Jesus Christ.

To provide further details about myself, I am a writer, Editor, and Proofreader and am also currently continuing my theology study online through Dallas Theological Seminary. I have been a volunteer Bible teacher with Evangel Prison Ministries for nine years, since June 2013, helping the inmates I work with to know the Gospel message of Jesus Christ through proper Bible teaching. I am passionate about theology and enjoy reading about theological topics, listening to sermons, and good southern gospel music!

Hello Anne-Marie, thank you for taking the time to offer a greeting and your thoughtful words of encouragement mean so much to me, and likewise for you.

Thank you James, it is exciting to connect with you here. Wow, I just read the description for your book "Don't Throw the Believer Out with the Baptistry Water," and I'm going to have to add that to my want to read list. I loved the description of "the wit and wisdom of a country preacher. " I have a great love and respect for good country preachers with a passionate heart for God. I am under a country preacher myself in my church, and I treasure our pastor! Thank you for reaching out! Blessings to you with your labor for the Lord as well! I was just reading scripture this morning in 1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." Our labour for His kingdom is never in vain.

God bless,
Deanna

Hi Deanna, Congrats on the new book! Your book sounds intriguing and I would love to read it. A pdf would be good. I'm an author too and would be delighted to send you a pdf copy of one or more of my books for a review (if you like it). My books are not deep theology, but more along the lines of practical Christian living with a focus on encouraging believers and seeking to unlock the joy God offers His children. I too believe we are in the end times and I fully believe in the pre-trib rapture. Check out my blog to find out more about me (: sandra-ramblingrose.blotspot.com and you can contact me at joyfulwriter@hotmail.com. Thanks! God bless you and your new book! Praise God from whom all blessings flow (:

Could you email me a pdf of this book, and I'll gladly do a review for you. Where would you like your review posted? Just let me know. I will send you an email with my pdf for "Brutal, Beautiful," and I would ask for my review to be posted to Amazon and Goodreads. My email address is: dachristine9@protonmail.com.
