AVILY JEROME, BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER by KM Wilsher

BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER: BACK COVER BLURBS
________________________________________
I’m studying “back cover blurbs” and short one line synopses. The goal of this research started out egocentric really. I needed to know all I could about good summaries for back covers, because I want an outstanding back cover blurb for my work in progress.

As I thumbed through great synopses written by both published and unpublished writers, I realized I knew some pretty awesome writers. Thus the idea for this series was born. Why not share these great writers with everyone? Why not dive into conversations with the great writers I know and soak in the knowledge!

Up this week is writer AVILY JEROME. and her wonderful novel: DYING FOR DRAGONS.



AVILY JEROME is a great Christian woman, wife, mother and extraordinary writer. I have been truly blessed by her friendship and completely surprised and overjoyed that the Lord brought her into my life.


Look at this great one liner for DYING FOR DRAGONS by AVILY JEROME.:

Emma's going to prove that dragons exist--even if it kills her!

Up this week: Michelle Gregory!And her novel Eldala ~ Published in 2007 Michelle is a fellow member of Christian Writers of the West, the chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers here in Arizona. I love her passion for encouraging and cultivating other writers, especially young writers. I’ve heard her speak and she is compelling and her love for Jesus Christ is compelling.
Here is how Michelle describes herself:
My name is Michelle Gregory. I am a mom of three, married to a wonderful man, and trying to fit writing into a life filled with taekwondo, doctor appointments, church, and homeschooling my kids. Before 2005, I had no idea that I wanted to write, or that I even had a story in me. Since writing my first novel, I’ve discovered that I have many stories inside me, all clamoring for my attention.
Her first novel: Eldala was created with much help from her children, it’s a family project. You have to pick up this book.
Quote from the back cover:

You now have a choice, and it will take great courage to choose the right. From this moment on, you will be walking the path between who you are now and who you were born to be. All I’m asking you to do is let yourself make the journey. ~Arathor

Word Wednesday by KM Wilsher

It seems like every study I hear/do this week, the discussion is a reminder about our armor.

Eph 6:10-17 (NIV) ...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The belt of truth-The breastplate of righteousness-The shield of faith-The helmet of salvation- The sword of the Spirit.

As I've been thinking about this, clothing ourselves with armor, how much more Christian Fantasy can you get? You know how much I like Fantasy - Lord of the Rings, Reign of Fire, Firefly and my friend Avily Jerome just turned me on to the "Wheel of Time" series -WOW! And let's not forget 'Remnants' by KM Wilsher --- my WIP 'Remnants' is Christian Fantasy! (The first chapter can be accessed along the right hand side of this page)

But back to the Armor of God. A joyful Joyce Meyer asked her audience this week, "Did anyone stand in front of the closet this morning and the clothes just flew off the hanger and on to your body?"
Of course the audience answered, "No."
She then to went on to highlight the verbs in this series BUCKLE the belt of truth; PLACE the breastplate of righteousness; FIT your feet with readiness; TAKE up your shield, the helmet, and the sword of the Spirit.

It just reminded me there is more than just remembering my armor; I must remember to put it on. So how does one 'put on' Spiritual armor? I think we all know that the spiritual battle never ceases. I must pray without ceasing. I must Love and love some more, overcoming evil with good and I must be in ongoing conversation with Jesus. I must remember to clothe myself with armor. I heard the famous Sister Theresa stopped every thirty minutes to pray.

By the way, the King James version is much more "FANTASY" Ephesians 6:10-17
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, where with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
