  • Special Guest Interview with Thea Ramsay

    Thea Ramsay has been a Christian for a long time. As a member of the Baptist Denomination, she has undergone the believer’s baptism twice—the first time at the age of fourteen, the second time in the Pacific Ocean off Maui, with her late husband.

    She started writing before she could spell. She still remembers writing a short story in which she spelled magic “M-A-D-J-I-K.”

    She’s also a voracious reader, and still likes magic. Not witchcraft, but that of fantasies and fairy tales, which have delighted people for centuries.

    Thea was born blind, and she suffers from chronic pain, caused by a variety of conditions, and a serious mental illness called borderline personality disorder.

    Thea loves soft, romantic and beautiful things, which she writes about in her novels, because she feels that the world is lacking in these qualities. Learn more about Thea’s other books at the following link:

  • Special Guest Interview with Lisa Pinney

    Lisa Pinney lives in Pittsburgh, Pa with her husband. She has two adult children and three grandchildren. She is the owner and operator of Pittsburgh Transformation Center, where she works as

    As a Christian transformation coach. She coaches the issues of the heart not the problem.

      

    She helps to deepen your relationship with God and with others by Identifying negative beliefs and creating a pathway to communicate from the heart. She believes the pathway to the heart is as individual as each person’s experience and Jesus now the way.

    Book Title:

    Deeper Living the Christian Life In the Deep Down

    Description:

    In her book, Lisa writes about what it’s like for Jesus to reach the wounded place of the heart to bring about emotional healing, transformation, and spiritual growth. You’ll learn what emotional needs are. You’ll learn how important it is to have your emotional needs met in Christ and in relationships. You’ll see how unmet needs lead to self-medicating, self-protecting, and self-sabotaging behaviors.

    Lisa mixes her own personal journey of emotional healing so the reader can relate, and identify their own need for emotional healing. The book has contemplations or visual prayer exercises at the end of each chapter, however, this is not a how to book. Readers are invited to cultivate their own intimate relationship with the lover of their soul.

  • Book review of Lucy by Thea Ramsay

    Today’s episode is a review of a fabulous SciFi novel entitled Lucy, which was written by Thea Ramsay.

    Description:

    Ten-year-old Lucy and her parents live on Earth in the last throes of its final holocaust. Their only hope is being accepted as refugees on another world, but one rejection letter after another eats away at their hope, while death closes in on them. Hope revives when a stranger arrives with a letter of acceptance from the mysterious planet Andorpha.

    While Lucy, her best friend, Kim, and her parents wait to board the space ship, her parents are killed. Lucy faces danger and growth as she comes to grips with her parents' death and the strange customs of Andorpha. While Kim laps up Andorphian love like warm milk, Lucy wonders if it's all too good to be true. When Lucy learns the Andorphians believe their planet is under a curse, she begins to suspect there is a reason that she and her family were so readily accepted as refugees. Do they expect her to be the antidote to an ancient curse?

    When Kim urges Lucy to accept the Andorphians and their way of life, the only shot at life they have, Lucy is certain she's right. But all is not what it seems.

  • Special Guest Interview with Cynthia MacGregor
    Multi-published author and freelance editor Cynthia MacGregor can claim over 100 books of hers that have been published since 1993, when her first book came out. And that total doesn’t include books she’s ghostwritten for clients. She writes for both adults and kids; and oddly, while her books for adults are almost entirely nonfiction, her books for kids are predominantly fiction. She works 7 days a week, with time off for church on Sundays, and puts in long hours every day. People who know her call her “the Energizer bunny.” She just keeps going and going. Cyn, as she likes to be called, loves her work and her life and says, “There’s no one in the world I’d want to trade lives with.”
