I just published my first book, so take a look if it sounds interesting to you!

The title is Me and My... Teacher?!

Description: Shuichi Kenmotsu is an ordinary Japanese high school student, or he was until Fujiko Takamori, his new social studies teacher, showed up. A mere few weeks after she arrives the two of them get locked in the gym's storage room, and, unable to escape, they're forced to spend the night together! One crazy thing leads to another, and before they know it the two of them are... married?! Is this strange union going to end in divorce, or will something unexpected lead to a completely different outcome? Only time will tell...

You can find it on Amazon, and there's also a link at my website.

The book is going to be free from January 23rd - January 24th 2021. It's always free for KindleUnlimited members, though!

Hi! My Kindle eBook, The Supernormal Ability Cookie Kids' Club, will be free from March 31, 2021, through April 4, 2021. Here is the Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Supernormal-A.../dp/B07M5CVZLS

Here is the book description:

When middle schoolers Cassie, Dayne, and Natasha wake up with brand-new superpowers, they think these gifts are going to solve all their problems. Cassie, who's going blind, can use her power to "see" in a whole new way. Dayne, the youngest of eight kids, can finally be the hero of the family instead of the ninth wheel. And Natasha can glimpse the secrets she's always wanted to know about her parents and grandmother.

They quickly find out, however, that the gifts are temporary. They'll vanish on Halloween night.

For Cassie and Dayne, that just won't do. Together with Natasha, they form the Sack Club, united by one mission: to keep their supernormal abilities forever. Even if it means they have to frame the class bully, sneak around in the boiler room, and damage a little school property in the process.

Meanwhile, Natasha watches her new friends get themselves (and her) in more and more trouble, and she starts to wonder: just how far are Cassie and Dayne prepared to go?

BLURB:

♥ Can LOVE conquer FEAR? ♥

Socially awkward Lewis Fraser longs for a happily ever after.

Except . . . He’s in trouble. He’s fallen hopelessly for new office colleague Christopher Wright who barely says two words to him.

Christopher avoids others for a reason.

If they’re to form a friendship or have a chance at romance. Lewis must overcome the stubbornness of a man who’s deemed himself unloveable—not easy when you’re both terrible at communicating.

Can two imperfect men be perfect for each other?

The sealing of the 144,000 is at hand...


"Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the undeserved kindness meant for you made a diligent inquiry and a careful search.  They kept on investigating what particular time or what season the spirit within them was indicating concerning Christ as it testified beforehand about the sufferings meant for Christ and about the glory that would follow.  It was revealed to them that they were ministering, not to themselves, but to you, regarding what has now been announced to you by those who declared the good news to you with holy spirit sent from heaven. Into these very things, angels are desiring to peer." (1 Peter 1:10-12)


The 144,000 are the living stones that Jesus was speaking about when he stated, “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19) The term "this temple" was not the Temple of Stone that existed then. Jesus already inspected that Temple and upon his inspection of it, he found it as a cave of robbers. Did you never read this scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone.' (Mark 12:10)


"But he was talking about the temple of his body." (John 2:21) Notice the scripture doesn't state his fleshly body for his fleshly body was to be sacrificed once and for all time, but rather 'the temple of his body.' “Just as the body is one but has many members, and all the members of that body, although many, are one body, so too is the Christ.”​ (1 Cor 12:12)


Allow scripture to interpret scripture. If Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone of God's temple, then there must be other stones. The other living stones are in fact the 144,000. (Rev 7:4) "Just as the Christ is head of the congregation, he being a savior of this body." (Ephesians 5:23b)

These living stones are Christ's Body.


"Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you individually is a member." (1 Cor 12:27)

"Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that the spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)


WTS Quote: Paul calls the congregation “God’s temple.” At Eph 2:21, 22, the congregation is called “a holy temple” that God inhabits “by spirit.” This means that God uses his holy spirit, or invisible active force, to motivate those in the congregation, to sustain them, and to help them cultivate its fruitage. (Ga 5:22, 23) The apostle Peter uses a similar comparison, calling the disciples “living stones.” (1Pe 2:5)



The Apostle Peter also referred to the temple by stating, "As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen, precious to God, you yourselves as living stones are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:4-5)


The 144,000 are Christ's body in which mankind can approach the One True God, Jehovah through Jesus Christ. They are also known has Christ's Brothers in how the world of mankind will be Judged in the Last Days that are now coming to their end. Notice the following scriptures:

Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” (John 20:17) Jesus own statement exposes the lie that he and the evildoer went to heaven the same day they were to die. Notice he stated to Mary Magdalene, "Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father" after his resurrection.

"For just as we have in one body many members, but the members do not all have the same function, so we, although many, are one body in union with Christ, but individually we are members belonging to one another." (Romans 12:4)

Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’ (Matthew 25:45) Jesus will condemn those who mistreat the least ones of his brothers.


But how long would the sealing of the 144,000 take? This sealing process is a timed event. It did not take place in a literal 72 hour period. "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000" (Rev 7:4) And I saw another angel ascending from the sunrise, having a seal of the living God; and he called with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying: “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the slaves of our God in their foreheads.” (Rev 7:2-3)


Did you notice what is to happen before the four angels are allowed to harm the earth? It was after a certain event. Once the 144,000 are sealed, then it paves the way for Jesus to bring judgement upon those who mistreated his chosen ones of the 144,000. The scriptures are pointed. "If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple." (1 Corinthians 3:17)


So let's review Jesus' Prophecy that has been unfolding since Pentecost 33 CE. “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19) This temple is Christ's Brothers of the 144,000 which are in turn Christ's Body. Jesus stated "in three days I will raise it up."


Jesus could of stated this in several ways.

in three days

on the third day

after two days


Again, allow scripture to interpret scripture. "He will revive us after two days. On the third day he will raise us up, And we will live before him." (Hosea 6:2)


Look and see with eyes of faith. Apply the scriptures. "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." (2 Peter 3:8)


The Body of Christ began to be collected on Pentecost 33 CE.

Pentecost happened on 33 CE + 2000 yrs = 2033 CE the third day begins 2034. Not all anointed will be heavenly at this point but you can apply other scriptures during the Last Days of this Age as they come to their End:


"Look! I tell you a sacred secret: We will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we will be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)


You won't find 2034 in the Bible, but you won't find 33 CE either. Yet, 33 CE was a 'timed event' that comes from the Messiah being cut off in the middle of that 70th week and Pentecost followed 50 days later. They looked with their eyes but they could not see.


We also get 1914 from another 'timed event' that occurred. But when you add the Last Days of Noah, what do you get for the Last Days of this Age? 1914 + 120 yrs = 2034


Knowing these things doesn't give you divine protection or extraordinary insight but it may make you more accountable to Jehovah. "For the vision is yet for its appointed time, And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! For it will without fail come true. It will not be late!" (Habakkuk 2:3)

His greed and his longing for recognition are also sources of suffering for the toff.

Hello,
Thank you for creating this thread where we can all support each other.
I recently published my debut novel titled "Tipu Finds Magic" on Amazon and it's up for free till 5th Sep, 2021. I just want to get the word out at this stage. If any of you have the time, please give it a look. I'm adding the link, ASIN and other details below.

Title: Tipu Finds Magic
ASIN: B09F1JQFLW
Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Tipu-Finds-Ma...s=books&sr=1-1
Genre: YA Fantasy, South Asian Literature
Synopsis: Tipu Finds Magic is a fantastical story about a 21 year old college boy from Lahore. In the midst of a life of boredom and monotony, Tipu finds a gnome and ends up following him into the flip side of our world. There he unwittingly stirs up a revolution to end the tyrannical dictatorship of the rulers (vampires) and start an era of democracy.
The ‘Other Side’, as it is called in the novel, is a place where vampires, wizards, gnomes, and werewolves all live together. The particular country the protagonist goes to is called Naystaf. It is a fantastical place, although not a happy one. Different roles have been assigned to different species. Vampires are the authoritarian rulers. The head of state is a vampire named Sarkaar. Wizards form the admin. Werewolves are the night guards, and gnomes the labour. Jinns and Churails are known to be wild, untamed beasts which have been captured by the rulers and are kept caged. Furthermore, there are caretakers all across the Other Side who are supreme conciliators in time of conflict. Naystaf falls under the jurisdiction of Malika who is also known as the Lady Who Wears The World.
Tipu meets Nomi at a secluded corner of one of his university ground and, bored of his life on this side of the planet, follows him back to his world. He only realizes the severity of his actions when he finds himself facing imminent execution at the hands of the fascist government. The only way to overthrow the government is to appeal to Malika. As a last resort, Tipu and some friends gear up to take a long and hard journey through a forest and a mountain on both of which they encounter deadly monsters.
The group of adventurers includes Tipu, a wizard (Nazim), a witch (Farishta), and three gnomes (Nomi, Bibi, and Pappu). They all become friends on this journey and learn things from each other. One night they even visit the human world and Tipu finds his chance to acquaint them with his side. The conversations they have and the things Tipu learns from them makes this a coming of age novel of sorts, even though unlike most YA novels, the protagonist is not a high schooler but a college student.
In the end, they reach their destination. Malika summons Sarkaar and sets things right. Naystaf is a democratic country now. Shahi, a witch, is appointed the Senior Minister by the people’s vote. She gives Tipu a magical pin as a reward. It has the power to summon anyone from the magical side at any time. Tipu returns home.
The novel is relevant as a comment/point of view on how the boundaries of myths, folklore, and imagined worlds are blurred when speaking from a globalized and postcolonial standpoint. It is hoped that the novel will serve two purposes: First is the instigation of discussion on the hybrid subconscious and imagination of the postcolonial subject. The second hoped-for purpose is the story providing an amusing reading experience to any young adults in a state of ennui looking to suspend disbelief and enjoy an easy escape.


Thank you in advance, if you decide to check it out.

Best wishes,
Sue Doe
