Recent release “Jesus and Mary on the Bittersweet Path: 10-Day Walks through the First Christmas and the First Easter” from Covenant Books author Jeffrey Watson is an ideal gift that completes the Christmas stocking or Easter basket for curious Bible readers or for anyone who loves the gospel story.

BOWIE, Md. – November 23, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Jeffrey Watson has completed his new book, “Jesus and Mary on the Bittersweet Path: 10-Day Walks through the First Christmas and the First Easter”: a fascinating work that blends biblical and cultural insight from the first century.

Author Jeffrey Watson is a gifted storyteller, with his skills rooted in frequent trips to the Middle East and his education at Catholic University (MA), Dallas Theological Seminary (DMin), and University of Maryland (Ph.D.). Watson serves as the director of operations for Erickson Senior Living and as adjunct faculty at the University of Maryland (UMBC).

Author Jeffrey Watson writes, “It is commonplace for us to picture Jesus as a thirty-three-year-old at Calvary; after all, His execution took place on April 3, AD 33. The bigger challenge comes with pinpointing His birth year.”

He continues, “To guide us on this journey, we discover four things: (1) the Gregorian calendar, our system of “BC-AD” reckoning, doesn’t take hold until the late Middle Ages; (2) furthermore, in the Gregorian method, there is no year zero, yielding us only one year between 1 BC and AD 1; (3) King Herod I, Jesus’ first persecutor, died in the spring of 4 BC but was alive at Jesus’ birth; and (4) Herod interrogates the Magi about (a) the original timing of the star and (b) the exact birthplace of the King (c) before reflexively unleashing a mass murder of Jewish boys, toddler age and down.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Jeffrey Watson’s new book invites readers to walk the bittersweet path, joining Jesus and Mary on that unique journey from the first Christmas through the first Easter.

This captivating work also features stunning artwork by artist Mary Evans.

Author Jeffrey Watson’s New Book ‘Jesus and Mary on the Bittersweet Path’ Merges the Style of a Daily Devotional With the Power of Historical Fiction

Recent release ‘Teacher’ from Covenant Books author David B. Kane is a fascinating and gripping adventure that centers around two alien species, known as the Sounders and the surfriders, as they work past their differences to help stop the greatest threat to both of their existences. As the darkness encroaches upon both species, a secret organization will rise to aid in the ultimate battle.

SAINT GEORGE, Utah – November 23, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

David B. Kane, who trained for two years in the art of International Taekwondo, and created two internationally known Internet shows, “Deep Throat” and “Dovid O’Cathain,” has completed his new book, “Teacher”: a compelling and spellbinding fantasy of an otherworldly conflict that threatens to wipe out two species if they cannot learn to tolerate one another and work together to defeat their great mutual enemy.

“In denial, two species from alien worlds face a similar future,” writes Kane. “Teachers with generations’ worth of training to fight the Darkness first must fight the complacency and corruption of their own Sounders. Poseidon, a Master Teacher, must train two young Sounders, Quickfin and Silverfin, to possess that rare trait of greatness. Quickfin’s genius precipitates a crisis unforeseen even by Poseidon, which leads them on a current of self-discovery. From youth to maturity, the two young Sounders must become more than they thought they could be.

“To defeat the Darkness, circumstance forces the Sounders to form an alliance with the surfriders, a complex species similar to them, who are capable of both kindness and cruelty. In this battle, Suzan, a surfrider, learns about the battle between good and evil that exists in her world. She discovers a covert organization representing good, which has fought a losing battle for the last two decades. Can she—Will she help? This book delves into matters of the heart. Though based on Christian culture, it should never be a replacement for the proper study of the Bible.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, David B. Kane’s new book is a captivating read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, desperate for more with each turn of the page. Engaging and expertly paced, this character-driven adventure will reveal surprising twists that will remain with readers long after its shocking conclusion.

Readers can purchase “Teacher” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Author David B. Kane’s New Book ‘Teacher’ is a Mystifying Adventure That Finds Two Alien Species in an Unlikely Alliance in Order to Defeat Their Greatest Enemy

GRAY, Ga. – November 23, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Dr. Ruth Hayes, who was born in Passaic, New Jersey, on April 5, 1929, has completed her new book “If I Can, You Can”: an encouraging and empowering work that follows the author’s tumultuous journey through life that was ultimately defined by her perseverance and steadfast faith. 

As a young girl, she did something that she was not proud of but felt it was a means to an end. She grew up fast. She dropped out of school, had to get married, had children, and started working. She had to learn to trust and believe in God repeatedly. She had to bring God back into her life as well as her children’s life.

Author Dr. Ruth Hayes grew up with her cousins, who at times saw her as their very own sibling. Even as a child, she learned quickly how to adjust to a sense of juvenile independence that would eventually lead her to her destiny. 

After many years of settling disappointments and comfortable poverty, it was more than a notion to collect her belongings, her children, and her thoughts then press her way into a life that only the grandest of this world could imagine. 

Dr. Hayes earned her Ph.D. from Union Experimenting College and University in Cincinnati, Ohio. She currently works as a grant writer at We Search & Development in Gray, Georgia. She gives God the glory for her well-lived life with all its great adventures and challenges. Her philosophy to all people who struggle with the confidence to stay on the path of their dreams through repetitive challenges remains her daily acclamation: “If I can, you can.”

Author Dr. Ruth Hayes begins her work, writing, “God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good. My story is not unique. It’s not different. I’m just a woman that knows God will give you anything you need and most of what you want. All you have to do is love, ask, and obey him. I did in the beginning, but I certainly didn’t always obey him. I didn’t even think about him most of the time. In fact, he was seldom on my mind. I was too busy living the life I thought I wanted. I went to church occasionally, but it was when it was convenient for me and when I wanted to.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Dr. Ruth Hayes’ new book reminds readers that, through God, everything is possible. She encourages readers to trust and believe. 

Readers can purchase “If I Can, You Can” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
