From 1976 to 1985 she had a successful writing career in the general market and won numerous awards. She became a born-again Christian in 1986 and wrote Redeeming Love as her proclamation statement of faith.&lt;br /&gt;Since then, Francine has published many books in the CBA market and has continued to win both industry acclaim and reader loyalty. Her novel The Last Sin Eater won the ECPA Gold Medallion, and three of her books have won prestigous awards.&lt;br /&gt;Francine uses her writing to draw closer to the Lord, that through her work she might worship and praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing in her life. Her books "Echo in the Darkness and As sure as the Dawn" won the RITA Award in 1995 and 1996.

I think I talked briefly about it but I guess this is an opportunity to know more about it. I never realized how bad or how good your actions can affect the life of a particular person or any person at all. This book is full of God's mercy, forgiveness and eternal love which was shown to Hadassah who played a major part in the lives of almost all the characters in the book. Her love for God did not blind her eyes to the love Marcus had for her. She saw to it that she served others to their satisfaction because she believed that God had a purpose for her on the earth and this purpose was for her to serve others until she had no breath left in her. This made me understand that whatever assignment you are given to do, you should do it with everything you have and never rush to do anything because you could be given the same opportunity in future but you would do a better job at it than you would do now. Julia never listened to her parents because she thought that the life she led while following in the tracks of her irresponsible brother was the right life to live. Her parents tried to shield her from a wicked, sinful world but she decided that her way was better and ended up doing alot of mean, regrettable things.Unknown to Marcus, his sister's rebelliousness was a result of the bad life and things he got involved in. He failed to noticed how fast his behaviour was rubbing on his younger sister and how easily he could be driven to do anything Julia wanted and still make sure that she was doing the exact same thing that Marcus would have done under the same circumstance. I truly enjoyed this book because Hadassah never was ashamed to tell anyone about the God she served and was willing to help anyone in any way she could. I think it would be great to grab the book and see for yourself. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Technorati Tags:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/books" rel="tag"&gt;Books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/fiction" rel="tag"&gt;Fiction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-114365842004750615?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/114365842004750615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=114365842004750615' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114365842004750615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114365842004750615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/03/voice-in-wind.html' title='A Voice in the Wind.'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-114263331512782495</id><published>2006-03-17T14:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-04-29T20:43:46.186-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A new web site.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hello y'uall it's been a long time.

He lived in Fair Oaks through high school, graduated valedictorian in 1984, and received a full track scholarship to the University of Notre Dame.&lt;br /&gt;After breaking the Notre Dame school record as part of a relay team in 1985 as a freshman (a record which still stands), he was injured and spent the summer recovering. During that summer, he wrote his first novel, though it was never published. He and his wife Catherine, who met on spring break in 1988, were married in July, 1989. While living in Sacramento, he wrote his second novel that same year, though again, it wasn't published. He worked a variety of jobs over the next three years, including real estate appraisal, waiting tables, selling dental products by phone, and started his own small manufacturing business which struggled from the beginning. In 1990, he collaborated on a book with Billy Mills, the Olympic Gold Medallist and it was published by Feather Publishing before later being picked up by Random House. (It was recently re-issued by Hay House Books.) Though it received scant publicity, sales topped 50,000 copies in the first year of release. He wrote two novels that were never published but he never gave up on writing. Infact, after selling his first novel, the first thing he bought was a new wedding ring for his wife?

He has a very inspiring way of getting the attention of his readers. Mike’s first published book was about his wife’s pregnancy and the birth of their twin sons. After several more nonfiction titles, Mike undertook a lifelong dream to renew the popularity of Scottish writer George MacDonald, whose teachings had been central to Mike and Judy’s spiritual growth. Mike began editing some of MacDonald’s lengthy novels, heavy with Scottish brogue, into shorter and more readable editions, with some of the work being done right at the bookstore counter between customers. It has always been Mike’s desire in his writing that all who read his books will find a closer and more real walk with God through the characters and stories. Both he and Judy enjoy responses from readers and find great encouragement from the letters they receive.

The book said:&lt;br /&gt;Life is a challenge -meet it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a gift - accept it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is an adventure - dare it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a sorrow - overcome it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a tragedy - face it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a duty - perform it.&lt;br /&gt;Life s a game - play it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a mystery - unfold it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a song - sing it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is an opportunity - take it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a journey - complete it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a promise - fulfill it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a beauty - praise it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a struggle - fight it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a goal - achieve it.&lt;br /&gt;Life is a puzzle - solve it.&lt;br /&gt;The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goals, but the real tragedy is when you have no goals to reach.&lt;br /&gt;We will all get to the unavaoidable part of life; so be prepared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-114143243052340499?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/114143243052340499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=114143243052340499' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114143243052340499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114143243052340499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/03/what-is-life.html' title='What is life?'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-114138205743079416</id><published>2006-03-03T02:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-29T12:32:41.276-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The history of ebooks.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/images/big_ewreader.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 153px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 204px" height="261" alt="" src="http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/images/big_ewreader.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We can carry our novels with us on an &lt;a href="http://www.ebooks.com"&gt;ebooks&lt;/a&gt; these days. ebooks are books that have been tranformed into digital files that can accomodate as many pages as you want and it's very portable.

That goes a long way to say that life experiences and answers can always be gotten from some of the novels we read and this also points out the fact, that in every fiction of literature or rubbish, there is always an element of truth and alot of lessons to learn from them. Wanda does alot of things alongside her writing and she is quite successful. When you set your mind up to do something you'll do it perfectly. She writes many interesting books while facing the hardships of life and taking care of her family, but she still finds time to be the best she can be.

If Julia had not been influenced by Calabar, she'd never have turned out the way she was. If Marcus did not introduce Julia to the games, her life might not have been so bad and he would still love her dearly. If he didn't let his temper get away with him he might not have lost Hadassah completely for a long time and those scars................ I sometimes put myself in her shoes and wonder if it was me it happened to what would I do? How would I face the world? I can't imagine what would have become of Atretes and his son Caleb if he hadn't found the love of God and his direction. Without a shadow of doubt, I tell you to find time and get this book you will be more amazed than I am and find it more interesting, you'll love it. The mark of the lion on Hadassah's face didn't stop her from loving God. She loved him even more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-114130128553961308?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/114130128553961308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=114130128553961308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114130128553961308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114130128553961308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/03/mark-of-lion-trilogy.html' title='The Mark Of The Lion Trilogy.'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-114130129012302416</id><published>2006-03-02T03:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-02T04:14:04.296-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Quotes for today.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments, and is yet willing to learn more."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"If time flies when you're having fun, it hits the afterburners when you don't think you're having enough." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;Think on this and see if it's true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-114130129012302416?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/114130129012302416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=114130129012302416' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114130129012302416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114130129012302416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/03/quotes-for-today_02.html' title='Quotes for today.'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-114121965215863972</id><published>2006-03-01T04:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-03T17:02:41.210-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Be what you really are.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://images.hollywood.com/images/large/l_2446111.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://images.hollywood.com/images/large/l_2446111.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;People feel if they are like a particular person then everything will be alright for them but that really is not so. We were all made to be what we are meant to be so that our full potentials and true self will reflect from inside out. Some people are afraid of what they really are because they feel they won't be accepted but I tell you , "Be all you can be" and you'll be well respected anywhere you go. I heard a quote from a movie I saw and till today I can never and will never forget that quote. it is really inspiring because it helps people see that holding yourself in high esteem brings out the best in you with effective alacrity. You don't have to suffer and be what your friends want you to be and infact, they are not really friends. Let them be friends with you on your own terms and not on theirs, you don't have to bend to their rules and suffer for not being who you are. The quote went like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mariannewilliamson.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Marianne Williamson.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;David Taylor in the movie "the gospel" found out that all he could be was a christian and he didn't find joy until he became who he really was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-114121965215863972?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/114121965215863972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=114121965215863972' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114121965215863972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114121965215863972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/03/be-what-you-really-are.html' title='Be what you really are.'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-114081568461716179</id><published>2006-02-24T13:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-02T03:27:12.830-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Author for today.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.karenkingsbury.com/uploadedImages/1136495745_karen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.karenkingsbury.com/uploadedImages/1136495745_karen.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.karenkingsbury.com/uploadedImages/1136495745_karen.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This author that I stumbled over set my ball rolling for her books. As soon as I picked up her Oceans Apart novel, I couldn't wait to read another of her books and surprisingly, she has some of her novels in DVD; isn't that great? Karen Kingsbury pictures the best phrase of all in her books and that is "Love is the greatest gift of all". I really enjoy her books and the way she writes but you gotta find out for yourself, you could read at least one of her novels in the coming week and visit her site too;you'll be convinced. Have a nice time while doing it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-114081568461716179?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/114081568461716179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=114081568461716179' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114081568461716179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/114081568461716179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/02/author-for-today_24.html' title='Author for today.'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-114069046500747448</id><published>2006-02-23T01:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-24T11:13:36.726-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Shefford-Johnson case files</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.wandadyson.com/images/uploaded/ObsessCoverArt..jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.wandadyson.com/images/uploaded/ObsessCoverArt..jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;These three books Abduction, Obsession and Intimidation are books I guarantee you, you'd want to read.

Detective books are my book weaknesses and they really keep you in suspense and at the same time gives your mind alot to feed on, but then again it's good food.haha. The &lt;a href="http://wandadyson.com"&gt;author&lt;/a&gt; which I dub my hat off to is really amazing, she captures the ears of her readers and holds them in her "book worming" embrace and I think I'll be reading more of her books and if you are wondering why I'm saying that try reading The Shefford-Johnson case files.

Those books are really the bomb. It's so adventurous and it keeps you in such suspense that you don't want to come out of. I mean the book is a you-must-read kinda book. Michael wrote a lot of things in the book straight out of the Bible, so that people won't fail to see that there are a lot of things that have spiritual or religious significance not just by way of speech but in the lives of his characters. In Rift in Time, Archaeologist Adam Livingston makes the discovery of a lifetime when he finds evidence of the existence of Noah's Ark. Though ambivalent about religion, Adam soon is encouraged to start rethinking his attitudes toward God, especially after he meets his housekeeper's niece Juliet Halsey. He had to come to terms with the facts that he wasn't in control of everything and that things became more interesting when God was in it. Juliet is living with her aunt and slowly recovering from the aftereffects of a terrorist bombing that killed her father and brother. To Juliet's horror, it soon appears that a terrorist group is now targeting Adam. Together, the two investigate the group, which appears to want Adam to stop finding more proof of the Bible's truth. Although some of the characters tend toward the stereotypical, this exciting thriller should still appeal to most readers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-113992218402135980?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/113992218402135980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=113992218402135980' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/113992218402135980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/113992218402135980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/02/archeaology-is-really-interesting.html' title='Archeaology is really interesting.'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-113957744385607101</id><published>2006-02-10T04:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-02T03:45:29.476-08:00</updated><title type='text'>An Author</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.thomasnelson.com/CPRImages/CreatorSmall/Dekker2_405_WRD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.thomasnelson.com/CPRImages/CreatorSmall/Dekker2_405_WRD.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:YOKtyAypsdNzUM:www.christianbookpreviews.com/images/authors/DekkerT2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianbookpreviews.com/images/authors/DekkerT2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;This is one bestselling author am sure you know about and he is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://amazon.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Ted Dekker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I know alot of us have read his books or heard about him but i can't fail to mention that he is one great author that should be highly recognised all over the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Ted Dekker is known for novels that combine adrenaline-laced stories packed with unexpected plot twists, unforgettable characters, and incredible confrontations between good and evil. He is the best-selling author of &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;OBSESSED, The Circle Trilogy (BLACK, RED, WHITE), THR3E, BLINK, HEAVEN'S WAGER, WHEN HEAVEN WEEPS, and THUNDER OF HEAVEN&lt;/span&gt; and the co-author of BLESSED CHILD and A MAN CALLED BLESSED. Raised in the jungles of Indonesia, Ted now lives with his family in the mountains of Colorado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;His "Circle" trilogy Black, Red,and White brought out the darkness of sin, the cleansing of sin through Jesus' blood and Washing us white as snow. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The trilogy took roughly eighteen months of intense work. But writing a novel starts long before the actual writing begins. His conceived of this trilogy seven years ago and let it stew in his mind for years. Or more accurately, he conceived of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://teddekker.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;BLACK&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;seven years ago. He wrote BLACK with only a very rough (one page) idea for RED and he finished&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://teddekker.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;RED &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;before formulating &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://teddekker.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;WHITE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;His method of writing has great significance and that shows how he makes writing [which is hardwork] look very easy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21279221-113957744385607101?l=bookssmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/feeds/113957744385607101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21279221&amp;postID=113957744385607101' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/113957744385607101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21279221/posts/default/113957744385607101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bookssmith.blogspot.com/2006/02/author.html' title='An Author'/><author><name>JOIE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09509902322403097038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279221.post-113950535479647673</id><published>2006-02-09T09:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-24T12:23:46.370-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Quotes of the day.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why."&lt;br /&gt;"The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly.
