A Memoir That Reaches Back In Time

Cindy Scott releases, Never Forsaken, a labor of love told by the daughter of Marion Ghent Jose Lau. Cindy's mother’s memoir reaches back in time to the early 1900’s, through WWII, to present day. 

Cindy Scott spent two years gathering the several manuscripts her mother penned over fifteen years and combined them with taped interviews to fill in the gaps. The finished work fulfills her promise before her mother's death to see this book, Never Forsaken, published. 

Never Forsaken is a true-life testimony of survival and restoration after WWII, including the big move to America for a better life. I was hooked from the first chapter. Marion’s rendition of life back then, her father’s radical transformation, becoming born again after being a drinker and gambler, reeled me right in. With a tinge of humor in the section of Papa’s new life, this is a touching sentiment of how the Word of God broke through such a calloused heart. 

Readers will find Marion Ghent’s harrowing journey as a young girl in the Philippines an amazing adventure. Being the youngest of eleven living siblings and the daughter of a colporteur for the American Bible Society, surely this story is an inspiring read that relates God’s absolute faithfulness and how He works in the humblest of ways. The book also relays the efforts of the foot soldiers of the Gospel, and reveals the treasure of how the Gospel goes forth.   

The Ghent’s surviving the shock of war and the tragedies that followed, shed light on loss, but a strong, persevering faith that comes to fruition in finding a new life in America. Certainly, this may be a movie in the making. Exciting, touching, and a powerful story, amazing endurance unfolds during some of life’s pivotal moments, relating Marion’s tale of never being forsaken by God. 

Leading to a triumphant restoration with long lost family members after the scattering of the War years, the author takes readers from beginning to an end of an era long gone. One will be left in awe and find inspiration to all that Marion Ghent and her relatives had to go through during those humble years in the Philippines, escaping and hiding in the jungle for three years. In this miraculous book, history literally unfolds as the awful horrors of war in a foreign country. 

Cindy Scott has culminated history and the telling of Marion's story, and her life experience that also includes photos, maps, text and indexes explaining these far off and quite exotic places in the Philippines. What an amazing read! 

One will find that faith, courage, and overcoming do not come without struggles. Yet, God is ever faithful! 

This book comes highly recommended for those that enjoy true-life war stories, happy endings, with God in the mix! I sincerely hope this book becomes a movie. For me, as one who reads many books, this one was truly memorable and unforgettable.

From finances to planning, he tackles each subject with ease, never forgetting that each partner is obviously different, being male and female.

God is Calling You: Discerning the Calling of God by Rev. Naresh K. Malhotra PhD is the first book in a series of two volumes “God is Calling You” (the second book in the series is “Responding to God’s Call”). These books are penned by the author to instruct, inspire, and shed light on how to biblically discern, and respond to the calling of God on one’s life. By using proven principles of learning in a uniform format, combining Scripture, and sound biblical principles that are foundational, the author provides keen Scriptural insight, reflection from his own personal experiences, and individual self-introspection that speak of the abundant life available in the Lord Jesus Christ. Each chapter contains “Quest Questions” that help lead readers to a challenge that relates to that teaching that will help readers discern and discover - the calling of God upon their own lives. Transformational, powerful, this life-changing book encourages all to walk by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God! 

The book is based on 2 Thessalonians 1:11 (KJV), “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power.” The author has written to those that would seek to pursue God in obedience and faith. Those who desire to discern and fulfil the calling of God upon their lives will receive wonderful foundational and biblical instruction, as the author presents keen insight into scripture verses and concepts. Key Concepts are presented first, such as God’s love for you, victory over sin, and walking in love begins the book that builds a strong foundation in the Word of God, not just as a religion, but as following Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Designed with five chapters, this book is for those that are willing to follow God in all His goodness. Life-lessons, and deep spiritual and scriptural truths are revealed in each chapter. The focus is on such topics such as the calling to God’s love for you, salvation in Jesus Christ, spiritual growth, growing in grace, and discerning God’s calling. Further insight into faith and Peter’s calling exhort and bring hope in God’s calling and readers’ authority in Christ, also revealing God’s absolute faithfulness.

This calling of God encompasses every facet of one’s being and why they are here on this earth. The author has written a superb book. The author displays that God has given us all that we need to grow and mature in the grace of God to include our own God-given purpose, passion, and vision that bring joy and satisfaction in life. (John 10:10) 

Both books come highly recommended as discipleship books and/or as evangelical tools for pastors, apostles, teachers, and lay Christians that want to understand the calling of God. Come and understand the calling of God upon your life in this fantastic book written to those that are willing to follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior in all His fullness.

Additionally, this book comes with forewords and endorsements from many strong leaders within the Christian faith community as: Dr. Charles Stanley (Pastor of First Baptist Church, Atlanta and In Touch Ministries), Ravi Zacharias, (Ravi Zacharias International Ministries), Doug Shaw (President/CEO International Students, Inc.), to include many more men and women.
