Looking Out the Window: Susan Aken Talks about Unshakable, Unbreakable Joy: A 10-Week Bible Study

A Warm Welcome To Susan Aken Hi, Susan tell us a little about yourself and your Bible study. I’m waiting for that phone call from God. Moses, the man God called to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, spoke to God face to face. Saul, who wrote much of the New Testament, met Jesus on the road to Damascus and heard Him speak audibly. How often do we wish God would communicate so directly with us? We want clear directions. We do have detailed guidance from Him in His word, the Bible. To truly understand God and His will it’s crucial to know and comprehend Scripture. God never leads us contradictory to His word and His revelation to us is complete. To truly understand God and His will, it’s crucial to know and comprehend Scripture.

Philippians 4:4-5 says: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all.” How does one rejoice with cancer?

Looking Out the Window: Sherri Stewart Traveled to the Netherlands to Research A Song for Her Enemies, her latest book. She'll Give Away an e-Book

  A Warm Welcome to Sherri Stewart To enter to win the e-Book of A Song for her Enemies leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Sherri, tell us a little about yourself.  I am a learner, and I like to learn unusual things. For example, I study three languages every day: Dutch, French, and Welsh. Why? I traveled to the Netherlands for A Song for Her Enemies , and we stayed in Haarlem where the story takes place, as well took side trips to Amsterdam and the concentration camp, Vucht. I will be returning to the Netherlands—God willing—in September to research the sequel to A Song . My son and I were supposed to travel to Wales last August but had to cancel due to stupid COVID. But the Welsh language is so stunning, I can’t stop practicing it every day on Duolingo.  Tell us about your latest book.  After Nazi soldiers close the opera and destroy Tamar Kaplan’s dream of becoming a professional singer, she joins the Dutch Resistance, her fair coloring concealing her Jewish heritage.
