My Book Of The Month…
Here’s a great read for August. It’s called, “It Came To Pass” It’s a Christian fiction book on a story about two high school seniors that joined the army right after graduation only to end up in the invasion of Normandy during WWII. Much of the battle story was taken from public records. It is a love story centered around the promise of Romans 8:28-20. You can read about it and purchase it from our website, www.marinellichristianbooks.com.
Your Thoughts…
I would love to hear from you concerning the newsletter content and/or questions you may have about the Bible and living the Christian lifestyle. I am no expert but I have had over 60 years to contemplate spiritual issues, study the scriptures and apply Biblical principles. Contact me at: johnmarinelli@embarqmail.com
Do you own a firearm? …
If you do or are thinking about getting one, you will need my book on gun safety and self-defense. It is titled, “Shadows in the Light of a Pale Moon” It’s all about a fictional character, Benny Ackerman, that did it all wrong when called on to defend himself and his family. I deal with mistakes made and lessons learned. Check it out on the website.
Bible Questions…
I’d love to answer your Bible questions. I don’t know everything but what I am not sure of I can look up in reference books and theological volumes. I will not reveal your name as the one asking the question unless you tell me it’s ok. Email your questions to me at johnmarinelli@embarqmail.com.

I Am Just Saying…
We all need to discern the times in which we live. Is our generation the one that will see Jesus physically return to earth? Is our modern-day church the church that Jesus said was, “Luke Warm” and that he will reject? Where are we in relationship to the end of the world?
I am determined to walk by faith and not by what I see happening around me. There are many voices out there that are nothing more than false news, false doctrines and false teachings. What other folks say and do should not be a guide for what we do.
Our guide is the Bible and the more than 3500 promises given to us so we have plenty of hooks to hang our faith on. That’s how we walk by faith…by living in the Word of God and applying its truths into our every situation.
Until next time, be blessed and keep the faith.
