This is one awesome read.
Faith in Christ: The Journey Out of Loneliness explores the depths of author Joseph Sgro’s struggle to understand why the man-made successes of our world have little meaning. He also questions his belief in Jesus and searches for meaning behind all the emptiness and loneliness that most of us harbor. Eventually, Sgro comes to terms with just how broken the human race is, and he understands that the love of Jesus is the only avenue that will lead us to a better life.
The world around us contains much that can inspire us to look toward the one and only Savior. Stop walking in darkness, stop kidding yourself, and stop looking for man-made answers. Open your heart, and let Faith in Christ be your guide on the spiritual journey to the light of Jesus Christ, the rock of our salvation.
The author, Joseph R. Sgro—except for a two-year stint living in the city of Las Cruces, New Mexico—has been a lifelong resident of New Jersey. During his stay in Las Cruces, Joseph attended flight school and obtained his pilot’s license. After graduating from high school, he attended aeronautical school in Teterboro, NJ, where he received numerous class awards. Upon graduation he received both his airframe and power plant licenses. One can sense a strong attraction to aviation in Joe’s background.
Working in the aerospace field at various levels, Joseph developed skills that would eventually assist him in starting his own business. With years of experience behind him, and having settled down in the rural countryside of New Jersey with his wife and daughter, Joe finally realized the dream of establishing a successful drafting firm.
When he began his journey with Christ, he developed a love for the scriptures. Seeing how much difference the love of Christ has made in his own life, Joe now wishes to help others find that love and to reconnect to the Lord. Faith in Christ: The Journey Out of Loneliness, is Joseph’s first book, however, it will not be his last. There is a calling to continue writing, and he will follow it.

Religion Righteous or Rip-Off
Is religion confusing? Does it make you uncomfortable?
The path to the Lord shouldn’t be. Are feelings of
emptiness and longing gripping your soul? Are you
searching for relief from the torrent of day-to-day
pressure and stress? Have you had thoughts or feelings of
seeking spiritual healing, but are afraid? Well, you’re not
alone. Many of us find ourselves in the same situation.
The thoughts of journeying into the arena of religion
can be frightening. The fear and disgust that we
sometimes experience arise from visions of traditions
and rituals impressed upon us. God should never take a
backseat to the business end of churches. The biggest
fear is getting caught-up in an empty cause. We fear the
possibility of more let-downs, which leads to more hurt.
The world around us offers little hope. And we are drawn
to the promise of someone who offers just that—hope.
That someone is our Lord Jesus. What we face is the
constant bombardment from the world that says God is
not real. If we do venture to investigate, our natural
thoughts are: what’s the catch? But there is no catch.
God created a way for us to return to Him through Jesus.
The only requirement is to believe. Believe with all your
heart, soul, and mind that Jesus is the savior of
mankind.
Do not allow man-made religions to confuse the issue of
connecting to our Lord. It’s simple: open the door to your
cold, dead heart and let the healing and the love of Jesus
Christ enter in. Your journey with Christ is a
never-ending experience where you’re never alone.

Book Movie Trailers Make Your Novel Easier To Sell

It is a condensing of the longer version, which runs 3:54 and has more information about the subject matter.
Scarlett is using these videos to promote her work to book agents and large publishing houses. She sent out an initial 30-querys and got 3-immediate responses for more information! Scarlett says she sent querys to these same agents and publishing houses previously with no response.
The power of video cannot be ignored! Please call Rob at 908-268-4533 or email him at Rob@greenbirdieproductions.com for more information and a price quote on getting YOUR self published novel on the fast track with promotional videos!

A Diverse Group
Members of the Central Jersey Author's Alliance are a diverse group! There are mystery novelists, a children's book author, poetry writers, non-fiction writers, writers of memoirs, a travel guide author, and a religious book author, just to name a few. What all these authors have in common is a love of the written word, and a determination to get their books published and distributed on their own.
The CJAA is a forum for authors to discuss strategy, promote their work, and learn more about how to market their books. Many members of the group volunteer to speak at public forums, like libraries, about their adventures in self publishing. Members learn what to do, and what not to do, from each other.
If you have written a book, or are in the process of writing one, we encourage you to come to the next meeting to find out more about the exciting world of self publishing.
