Faith-building Other Worlds

​

BLESSED BY MUSIC

I wanted to share a resource I’ve pulled together.

Life is hard–a common theme in my books. And drawing close to Christ in our difficulty can happen by listening to music.

In a startling shift of events in Trunk of Scrolls: Paths of Faith and Fire, on her way to what could be her death, Byziana asks Marcellus…
“Tell me the truth, don’t you think this journey would have been less . . . less morose”—she glanced at me to test the word—“if we had read Scripture together? Be honest.”

Likewise, we can find joy and peace on our life-journey by listening to Scripture.

I’d like to recommend some Scripture songs and have created this list to bring you peace and rest. It is a nice set to have playing in the background or to follow along by reading the on-screen Scripture lyrics.

Most of these are word-for-word Psalms (some are from the New Testament). These days, my favorite is Psalm 91, #1 and #10 by Esther Mui.

A few more things to peruse…

Thanks for your votes for the NEXT BOOK RELEASE

It was a close draw, and as I said, both series are in the works.

Announcing….

The WINNER:

The Sci-fi Fantasy Dystopia (series name still pending but I’ve called it Pogland and Immortals series) will be next-up novel release.

The Final Draft is with an editor and I have a book cover artist lined up. I’m so excited to share this with you.

Likewise, most people said they’d most likely read both. So, take a second and click below to be notified about the “Return to Me” series…

Thanks for being here. My prayers are with you.

Life is hard. I write novels that help focus our hearts on things that matter.

Yours,

Darlene

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek 🔥 Faith-Forged Fantastical Fiction 🔥 How’s Your Heart, Reader? When I was a young adult, newly married, newly teaching, new to everything really, the pastor’s wife of our new church asked me one day: “How’s your heart?” and I found it a very interesting BUT prying 👀 question. But as I’ve matured, I have come see it as a question that we SHOULD ask ourselves. Instead of “How are you doing?” we should ask: “How’s your heart?” In this newsletter I surely don’t…
