Hello my friends,
Here we are rolling along in February 2025. Trump is now officially the President, and things are slowly changing. I hope for the good. The California wildfires have calmed down and life goes on. Our prayers are with the 100,000 + folks that lost their homes.
This month marks the 43 rd year of my marriage to Marilyn, (Karaoke folks call her “Sultry Lady”). That is a good thing.
I am offering a new eBook free. You can download it at www.marinellichristianbooks.com/free-ebook. It is a study on the new birth experience spoken of by Jesus in the 3rd chapter of the gospel of John.
Being “Born Again” is a study that will take you deeper into the knowledge and will of God. I raise the question, “What is it all about?” and then explain, in an orderly discourse, the hidden truths of the “Born Again” experience.
The subject includes: What it means to be “Born Again”, Why should we be “Born Again”? Why do people reject being born again? Depravity And The “New Birth” experience, and The “New Creature” And The “New Birth” experience.
I also present statistical data to develop a profile of the American Christian. There is also a brief explanation of the Calvinistic view of salvation and the free will theology to clarify the truths incorporated in the “Born Again” doctrine.
I have added a special Gallery of Anointed Poems for your edification. All in all, it is an interesting topic and worth your time.
Don’t forget to come to Mc Calls, in Spanish Springs at The Villages for Monday karaoke. It runs from 1 to 4 pm. We have a great time. Lots of good singers and you do not have to sing of you do not want to. Pluss, you do not have to live in the Villages to attend.
I have a new book being published this month. It is titled, “Daniel & The Lion’s Den.” It is an adult Bible teaching of the event, with special attention to metaphors, types and shadows that bring Bible truth to our doorstep. The book has trivia questions, a story poem of the experience, a profile of Daniel in history and a look at his excellent character.
Cain, The Destroyer of Dreams is soon to be available in hard bovver. You can find it on Amazon ISBN # 979-8-3484-6. (Mid-February)
I am still looking for generous souls that will sponsor the cost of one or more of my unpublished books. The sponsorship is $350 per book. Your photo and bio are added to the interior and you get 5-paperback books to give to friends. You also get my wholesale cost should you want to order more.
Interested in publishing your own book? I can help. eMail me at johnmarinelli@embarqmail.com
I still am offering a discount catalog on all my books (over 35 in all.) You can download the catalog at www.marinellichristianbooks.com.
Here is a poem to cause you to contemplate life’s every moment.
As A Man Thinks
I am as my thoughts are
No matter what you say.
If I think good or bad thoughts,
That is what rules my day.
You cannot know me
As I really am,
Unless I reveal my thoughts
And become a transparent man
You are no different from me
Underneath all the fleshy show.
We all are as we continually think
Some happy and others full of woe.
So think on the things in life
That brings out the very best.
And you will surely get better
And be able to finally rest.

Some folks say we are all children of God. What do you think? My March blog will discuss this topic. I would love to hear your comments on this subject.
That is all for this month.
Be blessed
