The opposite of fear is love. Part 1 ("e;Pulpit to Pew"e;) includes twenty-five selections from candid sermons (reconstituted from his notes) by Joy Ibsen's father, Harald Ibsen, as presented to listeners in rural Midwestern congregations. Organized according to the church year rather in time sequence (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost), beginning with Christmas 1939, each sermon brief is followed by a listener's story (fictional except for a few autobiographical) showing how the listener(s) are affected by fear (i.e., war, death, crops, loneliness, disappointments, disability, prejudice) and how their lives are transformed. In the new section, part 2 ("e;Parables and Pandemic"e;), Joy again uses her father's sermon notes to interpret biblical parables, relating them to our present era. Timeless but timely messages arepresented by a(fictional) woman pastor to an urban New Mexico congregation who are challenged by fear of COVID-19, social isolation, economic loss, and the unknown. Each chapter shows the power ofhow spiritual truths, community support, andnew insights enable us to live unafraid in current realities. The sermons and stories are very powerful because they reflect the community-centered philosophy theologyof N. F. S. Grundtvig ("e;Human First, then Christian"e; and "e;Freedom for Loki as well as for Thor"e;), a nineteenth-century philosopher-theologian with amazing relevance to twenty-first century issues and whose teachings are well known to the Ibsens but not well known in the United States. Becoming unafraid is an incredibly helpful path to spiritual renewal which is necessary for handling both existing and upcoming worldwide changes.

The eleventh chapter of Hebrews has long been considered the Bible's book of faith. Descriptions are given of Bible heroes known and unknown persevering in a daily walk of faith to live and witness the Gospel message. Aristarchus is representative of the little-known disciple, but the Bible gives us just enough about his service as a disciple with the Apostle Paul to learn and know that his life made a difference as a servant of God.Aristarchus is first mentioned in Acts 19:29, when he was grabbed by a mob. He was described as being with Paul in his travels in Acts 20 and traveling with him to Rome in Acts 27. He is later mentioned by Paul in his epistles written from prison to the church in Colosse and to Philemon. He faced many of the dangers and rejections experienced by Paul, but the little thread of his service given in the Bible reveals he faithfully stayed the course.

The reader is quickly pulled into the book with a tense scene of domestic violence with insights and wisdom related to abuse-why it happens and what we can learn spiritually from the fact of abuse itself and how to overcome it. We never know what people are going through. But this book, Love Me or Leave Me, was made to help people get out of situations that have held them hostage. To God be the glory! By Deon Natisha Browne Love Me or Leave Me: Contemporary Memoir written by Gurmay Fraser is a daring and fascinating look into the harrowing impact of domestic violence. Readers of Love Me or Leave Me will have a difficult time escaping the haunting images of abuse Fraser weaves throughout the book. The physical and verbal assaults employed by the character/monster Bert are a deeply disturbing affront to loving relationships. By Ron Holland, author of The Fire in My Words: The Anthology of a Social Provocateur I liked the way you talked about abuse vs. love and discussed the challenges around defining abuse. Your illustration will help the readers to more closely examine their own relationships and offers a guide for acknowledging and taking steps to break free from an unhealthy relationship. I also really appreciated how you talked about witnessing abuse in your family. I think witnessing abuse often causes people to normalize violence later in their own relationships, and it's important that you called this out! By Karen Parker|President & CEO
