    Bruce Atchison – Christian Author

    We are pleased to welcome Christian author and blogger, Bruce Atchison. His Christian Social Witness could be a wake-up call for some of you who blindly follow false teachings.

    Roger Harned

    Bruce wrote on our Author Comments:

    I gave my life to Christ in 1969 but nobody mentored me. Consequently, I lacked discernment skills. I joined a cultic house church in 1971 and learned what I thought were advanced truths. Now I know that those teachings were blasphemous. I wrote how the Lord set me free in How I Was Razed: A Journey from Cultism to Christianity. People need to know the real Jesus and the real gospel, not false gospels and false Christs.

    From Bruce’s blog you will be interested to know:

    Bruce Atchison is a legally-blind freelance writer and the author of 3 published memoirs. Bruce live in Radway, Alberta, Canada.

    Deliverance from Jericho: Six Years in a Blind School is the story of Bruce Atchison, one such child. Shuttled between a dysfunctional family and an uncaring asylum, his feelings and experiences are related here in a candid fashion. Through his partially-sighted eyes, readers are given a glimpse beyond the manicured lawns and impressive facades into the daily life of Jericho Hill School for the Deaf and Blind.

    Christian Non-Fiction Review

    An Introduction by Roger Harned

    As I write this on September 21, 2013, my daughter is celebrating her 21st birthday with friends.  If you do the math from the cover photo you will see that Daniel Paul Wisler was born just 28 days before my daughter Rachel, who will be hosting our discussion on grief.

    In 1997, the year that Daniel died, Rachel’s mother, my wife Becky, also discovered cancer spreading aggressively through her body.  We prayed fervently for the Lord’s intervention, as did many of our faithful friends; but like Daniel, Becky also died 2-10-99.

    Please take a moment to read this review from Alice Wisler’s website.  Join in our discussion on grief.  And consider ordering her book:

    GETTING Out Of Bed IN THE MORNING – by Alice J. Wisler

    A book by a grieving mom for others going through sorrow associated with loss, Getting Out of Bed in the Morning: Reflections of Comfort in Heartache, is a tribute to my four-year-old son Daniel. Filled with prayers, scripture and thoughts on walking through this rocky path called Life, this is a companion for others who want to know that they are not alone.

    Written in devotional format, Getting Out of Bed in the Morning is a companion for those going through sorrow associated with loss—whether brought to the journey through the death of a loved one, failing health, job loss, broken relationships, or weakened family ties.

    Getting Out of Bed in the Morning is ideal for:

    •  Parents who have had a child die
    •  Those faced with an illness, financial dilemma or troubled relationship
    •  Those desiring to be sustained on their journey by God’s comfort, love, joy and
    • forgiveness
    •  Those who yearn to incorporate journaling and prayer into their daily routines
    •  Those who find beauty in walking and seek unique ways to pray and meditate as they exercise

    Alice J. Wisler has contributed an important resource for grieving families by authoring Getting Out Of Bed In The Morning from her own experience of faith in Christ and eternal life.

    Again, please SHARE your heart, scriptures and grieving experiences with all of us as your Christian Social Witness.

    Review by MaryAnn Koopmann

    Christian Non-Fiction — REVIEW by MaryAnn Koopmann

    How would you describe your best friend? Your spouse? Your children? When we know people well, our descriptions of them are richer and fuller than of those we know as mere acquaintances. So how would you describe Holy Spirit? And how does your view of Holy Spirit impact your life?

    Join Adrienna Turner in this fascinating study of seven attributes of God and Holy Spirit: his goodness, sovereignty, holiness, wisdom, justice, love, and faithfulness. You’ll see Holy Spirit in a whole new light. It will change the way you pray, the way you live, and the way you think about the world around you.

    Each chapter has a Moment of Reflection, where it challenges the reader to reflect and answer questions after reviewing biblical passages and insight on subject at hand, or living testimonies with a journal section.

    It will change the most important thing in your life: how you view Holy Spirit.
