Giveaway – Nina Bocci’s Books

Dear Everyone,

My publicist and friend, Nina Bocci, is also an author. Together, we are co-hosting a giveaway on my Instagram. We’re giving away paperbacks and ebooks of all her books, including the Hope Lake series, which is an Amazon Editor’s Pick, and “Roman Crazy,” which I think would make an excellent Passionflix film. Follow the instructions and comment on the original Instagram post in order to enter. Contest ends July 1st. This is a great opportunity to pick up some new and entertaining books to enjoy this summer.

Thanks to some generous readers, I’ll be posting a Passionflix subscription giveaway closer to the release date of “Gabriel’s Rapture” part 3 on August 12th. So stay tuned. And don’t forget to read the book in advance of the final film.

Thanks for reading and thanks for watching,

SR.

“Gabriel’s Promise” Releases

Dear Everyone,

I have good news. “Gabriel’s Promise” has been released in Danish by DreamLitt Press. Also, the Russian edition of “Gabriel’s Promise” should be released in July by Eksmo Press.

Recently, I celebrated the one year anniversary of the Italian release of “The Roman” by Delrai Edizioni. Delrai published the entire series in Italian, and those outside Italy can order them from Amazon.it

Part 3, the final part of “Gabriel’s Rapture,” will debut on Passionflix.com on August 12th. “Gabriel’s Redemption” will begin filming on location in Oxford and Italy this fall.

I’m also proud to be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Berkley/Penguin’s publication of “Gabriel’s Inferno” and “Gabriel’s Rapture” on July 31st, 2022. Stay tuned for some giveaways in celebration.

I’ve been hearing from readers around the world who would like to read my books in their languages. One way to bring this about is for readers to reach out to their favourite publisher and suggest they acquire the translation rights to my books.

I’m very grateful for your support. Thank you for reading,

SR

Lenten Reflection – #5

Dear Everyone,

I spent some time before and after Easter finishing NT Wright’s book, “Surprised by Hope” and reflecting on the book as whole. I have a couple of observations.

First, he emphasizes the importance of the Christian doctrine of the general bodily resurrection. And as he points out, this is what provides hope and comfort for the future. Death is not the end. The tyrants, the genocidaires, the killers cannot end us. Because physical death is not the end. We shall rise again.

Second, God will redeem the cosmos. His redemptive work will extend to the planets, the animals, the very ground on which we walk. Again, this doctrine provides hope and comfort for the future.

Third, as Wright expresses, our creative works will also last into the future: “What you do in the present – by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbour as yourself – will last into God’s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly …. They are part of what we may call building for God’s kingdom.”

Consequently, as Wright emphasizes, the work of the Church here and now must be conceived of in these terms – in light of the general resurrection, the redemption of the cosmos, and the building for God’s present and future kingdom.

As I continue my writing and creative endeavours, I am going to keep in mind Wright’s exhortation. I’m going to consider how my writing builds God’s present and future kingdom and how it can do so much, much better. I think all of us can approach our creative endeavours, and our ways of doing good deeds and saying good words in the light of God’s kingdom.

Peace be with you all.
Thank you for reading,

SR
