The wife
of Messianic field missionary, Ron Michelson, I love returning to churches where
he preached. While chatting with friends we'd made, I often heard that they
hadn't share the blessing Ron brings when he connects the dots
between the Old and New
Testaments because they feared losing
their friends.
While
praying about this God reminded me that a Messianic publisher friend of mine wanted to publish my work. With
the leading of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), we meet. Afterward, I
began to write praying that readers would love and gift these Messianic books
to their friends ~ whether they believed or not. Some did, most did not. However, the
goal God impressed upon my heart then is as firm as it was when I
began this work ~ that I show the reader Jewish people who experience
need, fear, repentance, faith, slips, God's grace & His forever
forgiveness ~ the gift we all are blessed to receive when we believe in
His son ~ Messiah Yeshua ~ Jesus Christ!
And if
your friends were given a Kindle 4 Hanukkah, Christmas, or any
other gifting time, I hope you'll ask if they's like to read the story Naomi
told me. A story of fear, the unfulfilled promise of love,
betrayal, sorrow, joy, and a faith that overcame all of this to receive
the blessing of the love that denied her. http://amzn.to/1IoUSMY
In this first book of Naomi’s faith journey we see what happens
when we deny who we are and what we believe to achieve our dreams. Bound by
secrets, trapped by choices, Naomi is about to discover that life is not what
you plan but what happens.
Naomi journeys from adolescence to womanhood, from frightened
isolation and captivity to the noble status of heiress. Trapped in a life where
all who know her think her a saint, saddled with a mission and
responsibilities, Naomi agrees to marry to sidestep more issues and the couples
tangled web escalates for neither are what they seem to be.
As a Jew, Naomi knows the promise of Genesis 12:3 by heart and
often repeats “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will
curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” When she hears
Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds
we are healed,” will she believe?
EDITORIAL REVIEW: “A faith based read about love, life and forgiveness there are
things we are commissioned to do in our Christian walk, but life choices can
make these things seem to be pushed far back and our fleshy desires forefront.”

In
this second of the six faith stories, we see a bride in flight rather than deal
with the fall out of revealed secrets. Now Naomi has nothing and no one. But
God is about to gift her everything if, finding herself embraced by people who
care, she discovers the ‘Lover of her Soul’.
Will
Naomi’s friendship with a ‘Titus 2 Woman’ and the blessings found at ‘Blessings
Rock’ bring her to Christ? Can a husband who refuses to forgive his wife handle
what he discovers when visiting his family? Is there is more between Chaz and
Naomi than their unfulfilled longing?
Upon
hearing Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you
I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you,” quoted by
his family for the first time after his hidden reality is revealed, will God
show Chaz what is true?
When
Elí tells Chaz, “No, I am perfectly sane. It is the world that is crazy because
they do not realize the one who died for our sins was the Messiah of Israel—the
Jewish Savior!” will the words break though Chaz’s unbelief or can finding a
dreidel at his uncles archaeological dig help Chaz become the man God created
him to be?
EDITORIAL REVIEW: “A fascinating
layered read, the tension between characters leaves you breathless in
anticipation. I admit I had to cheat a little and check to make sure there was
a happily ever after! Never fear! There is! The plot twists, turns and carries
you all the way to the end hoping Chaz and Naomi find each other again! For
those looking for a great book... pick it up!” - Kitty Muse Book Reviews

secrets and now with a marriage built upon faith in their Savior there are
challenges for Chaz is an internationally known and sought after
philanthropist, and Naomi the Las Niña’s Tía has committed her life to rescuing
teenage girls from immigration.

EDITORIAL
REVIEW: “A heroine learning to love the man she needs and a hero in love with a
woman whose duty is tearing her apart. Together they find the strength to face
their fears with love built upon an unshakable faith. Author Paula Rose
Michelson captures the complexities of human emotion like few authors I've
read. Passion, duty, fear, revenge, courage, prejudice and love are woven into
this truly gripping story which so well illustrates that which makes us human.”
