Author Name: Kurt Brouwer

Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

Release Date: February 10, 2025

Discover the Untold Story of the Last Disciple to Witness the Miracles of Christ


In a world shrouded in doubt and darkness, one man holds the key to the greatest story ever told.
The epic saga of the Last Disciple continues in this captivating new Christian historical novel

Years after witnessing the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Apostle John seeks to
faithfully write down the life-changing events he experienced firsthand.
Go back in time with John to old Jerusalem as he describes the fateful meeting between the
Messiah and Nicodemus in which Christ uttered the most beloved passage in the Bible: 
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish, but have eternal life"
John sets down the true story of Christ, contending with those who seek to water down the
gospel message. Accompanied by trusted allies like Emmaus and Avram, John travels from
Ephesus to Laodicea, Hierapolis, and beyond, determined to ensure the world never forgets the
sacrifice and love of the Son of God.
John reunites with his old friend and fellow disciple, Philip, who is gravely ill. In a desperate bid
to save Philip's life, John seeks out the help of Evangeline, a skilled herbalist and healer. After
Philip recovers, a mob whipped up by a high priest of the goddess Cybele lays in wait to attack
John and Philip.
Will violent enemies of the faith cut off the gospel message John carries?
Witness the miracles of Jesus through the eyes of the Beloved Disciple—and discover how one
man's courage can change the course of history.
If you're struggling with doubt, searching for meaning, or hungry to deepen your faith, The Last
Disciple: Gospel of John is the Christian novel you've been waiting for.
Don't miss this gripping tale of courage, conviction, and the eternal power of the gospel!

Book Excerpt

Emmaus took the flask back. “I imagine the people being baptized today will soon wonder

where you are.” He tilted his head sideways. “I know you’ve been sleeping rough all night, but you might

want to sort out the condition of your hair and clothes.” He pointed at John’s muddy sandals. “Those too.”

“Baptism? Today?” John glanced down at his wrinkled, grass-stained robe. He sucked in a

deep breath. “To be truthful, I’m ashamed to say I lost track of what day it was. In my indulgent fit of

temper last night, I forgot all about the baptism.”

Emmaus pushed away from the tree. “We’d better hurry, then. Wouldn’t want to disappoint

everyone. Of course, you wouldn’t want to scare them, either. You know, with your wild hair and your,

uh, disheveled appearance.”

John climbed the incline past the Great Theater, heading north to the road running above the

Cayster River. He turned east until he reached a trail leading to the river. At the bottom of the trail, he sat

and leaned back against a tree just above a little inlet that sheltered a small, gravel beach. His eyes grew

heavy as the soothing sound of flowing water lulled him into a deep sleep. After a time, his dreamy

slumber was interrupted by the breathy voices of little children.

About the Author


Kurt is a Christian and a member of a vibrant Christian church on the Big Island of Hawaii. So,
in addition to all the usual temptations writers face, Kurt has to fight off the lure of beautiful
beaches, pounding surf, great weather, and lush golf courses. Can you imagine? 
About nine years ago, Kurt did a study for his church on the Apostle John. If you’ve ever been
obsessed by anything, you’ll understand what happened. Kurt couldn’t stop researching, digging,
diving into the life of John and other first century Christians. Kurt read books by early church
historians who wrote quite a bit more more about the disciples, but they often contradicted each
other. Further, they never really delved into the daily lives and motivations, joys and sorrows of
the first Christians.
Kurt took all of his research and knowledge, all the insights and details he had acquired and
turned it into a series of Christian historical novels based on research and Biblical knowledge.
The first four books in the series are now available (on Amazon). Here is the series link: The
Last Disciple Series.
The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem, The Last Disciple: Escape to Antioch, The Last Disciple:
Exile in Ephesus, and The Last Disciple: Gospel of John.

"The Way Back to Eden" by Kurt Mahler -- Epic Book Launch

About the Book

Book Title: The Way Back to Eden: Book 2 of the Jaguar Oracle Series
Author Name: Kurt Mähler
Genre: magical realism
Release Date: Feb 28, 2025

A Mystical Journey to Restore the Natural Order as Hope Guides the Way
In the lush wilderness of the Rio Grande Valley, a centuries-old prophecy is about to be
fulfilled. The jaguars, once the revered rulers of the animal kingdom, have
vanished—until a brave jaguar named Oracle begins a journey to summon the scattered
tribes and restore their rightful place.
A captivating quest and an unforgettable journey home.
His quest intersects with young Paco and his extraordinary animal companions—a wise
horse named Plod, a storytelling toad called Bog, and a clever raccoon named
Patch—as they navigate the mystical landscapes of the Texas-Mexico borderlands and
Brazos River bottomlands, a quest that weaves through ancient forests, mysterious
towers, and sacred sanctuaries.
Guided by ancient wisdom and the enduring loyalty of his animal friends, Oracle's epic
journey leads him through a world on the brink of upheaval. As greedy developers
encroach on the land and threaten the delicate balance of nature, Oracle must navigate
a tangled web of human greed, betrayal, and violence to find the missing jaguarundi
tribe and unite the warring factions of the animal realm.
The fate of the Valley rests on Oracle recovering lost memories and rediscovering the
original harmony between man and beast. From vast Texan ranches to ancient palm
forests, from well-ordered zoos to untamed wilderness, The Way Back to Eden weaves
together a rich tapestry of cultures, legends, and the immutable power of the natural
world.
Blending elements of magical realism, environmental advocacy, and pulse-pounding
adventure, this sweeping tale transports readers into a vibrant, unforgettable world
where Oracle's quest is to preserve the ancient balance and the interconnectedness of
all living things.
The Way Back to Eden, a deeply satisfying and thought-provoking fantasy epic, is the
second installment in the six-volume Jaguar Oracle series. Discover the magic that
awaits where ancient wildlife sanctuaries hold secrets, where ghosts and tree house

hermits guide lost souls home, and where the path back to Eden might just be hidden in
plain sight.
Follow the trail. Find the tree. Change the world.

Book Excerpt

What more is there to say but the truth? You made a fatal error refusing to let me in, oh Cat of
the No-Name Valley. A grave mistake. For the folly of honoring Kahoo the Grave, you have dug your
own.” And the spirit shrieked in laughter as it juggled its pun before the captive king.
“I am of a different spirit,” Oracle declared. “No sorrow of soul will replace that center. I
refuse to live in the story you tell. I choose the story I remember. The story of the Beginning, when the
Namer named all living things.”
“Do not bore me with that talk. It is rotten food and poison drink to hear it, and you know it.
You know in your heart it has passed away. The darkness says so.”
“I know in my heart who speaks in the dark. His light says so. He is the Lion of Eden. I
remember his breath. I remember him.”
And Oracle roared the call of the jaguar, the call of a king declaring the land within the sound
of his voice to be his own.
The spirit shrieked and disappeared. A sound rushed through the night air, and then all was
swallowed into a silence as dark as the inside of a coffin door. No one breathed. No one moved.

"Ephesians: Experience God's Power" by Sarah K. Howley -- Epic Book Launch

About the Book
Book Title: Ephesians: Experience God’s Power

Author Name: Sarah K. Howley
Genre: Bible Study
Release Date: January 5, 2024

Are you ready to dive deep into the life-changing truths of Ephesians? In this 8-session Bible
study, you'll explore how God's power is available to us today—transforming our lives, our
relationships, and the world around us.
Sarah K. Howley, author, speaker, and founder of InspiritEncourage, is your guide on this
journey through Ephesians. With insightful questions and thoughtful guidance, Sarah will help
you uncover:
- The incredible spiritual blessings that God has prepared for you.
- His vision for unity among His people while honoring each person's unique gifts.
- How to live with purpose and conviction, experiencing the fullness of life as a Christian.
- Old Testament connections that deepen your understanding of the New Testament.
- Practical ways to live out God's truths in your daily life.
Each hour-long session includes a key Scripture passage, an introduction, engaging questions,
links to Old Testament passages, and personal application. Perfect for individual or group study,
Ephesians: Experience God's Power will strengthen your faith and build deeper connections in
unity with others.

Question & Answer


What can I expect from this study of Ephesians?

I designed Ephesians: Experience God’s Power in response to my personal desire to
understand the instructions that early Christians had. They were taught based on the Old
Testament yet lived in the New Covenant. I wanted to see how the new reflected the old while
also living it out differently. The Ephesians lived forgiven, as we do.
So, I wondered what the application of the Old Testament truths to the New Testament life
looked like, and I realized that I have the opportunity to do just that by reviewing the passages
referenced by each of the epistle writers and compare it to the new instruction they were given
in that letter.
So, here I first sought to understand what Paul was saying to the Ephesians, then what the Old
Testament references meant to the New Testament hearers of the word. Lastly, I found that
there were points that I needed to apply in my own life. So, the study comprises of opening
questions, generally about culture and our relations to it, then the participants read and answer
questions from the text. There are short passages that link to the Ephesians reading and a
couple of questions about how they link and help in understanding the point that Paul was
making. Finally, there are application questions to close out each session.
The style is such to guide the participants rather than tell. So, I hope that each person sees the
connection of the old and new, how one influences the other and leads to spiritual growth and
understanding in each session.

Book Excerpt  

 Wednesday morning
Lorraine’s Kitchen, Mirror Estate
Connor
As usual, Connor Murray went downstairs to the restaurant to help his wife,
Lorraine, set up for the day bright and early. Lorraine’s Kitchen didn’t open until
10:00 a.m., but they needed to do a lot of prep work first. He’d made sure Sean,
their ten-year-old son, was up and ready for school before heading downstairs.
His family, along with his in-laws, Max and Kate Warner, all lived in the quarters
above the restaurant, a perk of being part of the Marino household. Of course,
they weren’t related to the Marinos, but Max had been with the family for
decades as the majordomo. Max’s father had also been the Marinos’ head butler.
“Morning, Connor.” Kate joined them in the kitchen. Max had likely gone over
to the main house to start his day. Kate always helped out, either in the kitchen or
out front.
“Morning, Kate.” Connor flashed her a smile as he began chopping
vegetables while Lorraine bustled around, organizing the ingredients and
ensuring everything was in its place.
“Here, Sean, your lunch.” Lorraine held out his lunch pack.

" The Trail to the Lonely Tree" by Kurt Mahler -- Epic Book Launch



About the Book


Book: The Trail to the Lonely Tree (Book 1 of the Jaguar Oracle Series)

Author: Kurt Mähler

Genre: Christian Magical Realism Fantasy

Release date: November 25, 2024

A richly poetic tale of friendship, courage, and destiny that will awaken the imagination of

children and adults alike.

When Oracle, a jaguar from the Yucatán, learns of the dying words of the last jaguar in the Rio

Grande Valley, he finds himself on a perilous journey to see a prophecy fulfilled.

To do so he must travel 1,400 miles to Texas and find the Lonely Tree, where his kin spoke an

enigma to the heavens as hunters took him down. But the Lonely Tree is in the dangerous realm

of Man—and Oracle will need more than his own wisdom and strength to fulfill the task.

Oracle remembers Eden and the naming of the animals; what Adam spoke to the first of each

kind. He discovers the animals in the Valley have forgotten their names—as has Man himself.

Can he not only fulfill the prophecy, but help the animals reclaim ancient truths before they are

lost forever?

This hope-filled tale explores the quest for courage in a fallen world and how to make the faith

journey—and its sacrifices—worthwhile.

Book Excerpt

And yes, I admit, our tribe has its secrets on how to borrow, one for each ring on our

tails.”

“We jaguars have rings on our tails too, but they are not just for recording our secrets.

They’re for fishing.”

“Fishing?” asked Patch as he cocked his head.

“Here, I’ll show you,” the jaguar said, and he reclined along the grassy bank with his

forepaws casually drooping at the water’s edge like an aloof Persian cat on the arm of a couch.

Oracle extended his tail over the surface of the water and dropped its tip downward. The tip,

bordered by the last ring of the cat’s tail, hovered just above the surface. The jaguar looked at the

reflection of the half-moon floating on the dark water. As he did so, now and then a drop of

saliva from his open mouth fell onto the pond, leaving a curious shape on the surface.

In the aquatic world below, fish looked up to see a fascinating sight. A shadowy thing

besilvered with moonlight hovered like a moth just above the gossamer film of the water’s

surface, while nearby a fleet of tiny shapes like water striders drifted along the surface itself.

Allured by this enigma, a fish approached to investigate.

Whap!

The once-docile paws flashed and flipped a fish to the shore—a stunned, striped mullet.

Patch’s eyes widened with amazement. He dropped the crab, who scuttled away with a

parting glare toward fish and fur.

Book Excerpt

This separation is not just a theological idea; it signifies the spiritual disconnect between our human nature and

God’s perfection. As a result, we find ourselves at odds with God, distanced from His perfect presence, and unable

to reconcile with Him.

Isaiah describes humans as wayward animals who chase their ways (Isaiah 53:6). God promises to lay our sinfulness

on Jesus Christ, allowing us to reconcile with the Father—a reconciliation we are utterly incapable of accomplishing

through our power, wisdom, or abilities.

The good news is that through Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, we can move from being enemies of God to becoming

His beloved children. Through faith in Jesus, we can experience forgiveness of sins, restoration, and reconciliation

with the Creator. Our pre-conversion hatred of God serves as a contrast, highlighting the transformative power of

His love.

At its core, reconciliation signifies restoring a fractured relationship, prominently exemplified by the rift between

humanity and God. This chasm originated with the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, ushering

sin into the world and erecting an insurmountable barrier between us and our Creator. Yet, God’s love and mercy

refused to leave us trapped in this state of separation.

" Unison Parenting" by Cecil Taylor -- Epic Book Launch



About the Book


Book: Unison Parenting: The Comprehensive Guide to Navigating Christian Parenthood with

One Voice

Author: Cecil Taylor

Genre: Parenting/Family, more specifically Christian Parenting

Release date: September 17, 2024

Singing in unison is when all voices sing the same note, at the same time, to emphasize the text.

Similarly, families need to parent in unison to emphasize the message they want to send to their

children.

Cecil Taylor uses his personal parenting experience, and those of the families he’s taught and

ministered to over decades, to create unique foundational strategies for unison parenting within a

Christian context. Learn how to stay on the same page throughout the trials of parenting, provide

children with a solid faith foundation, and balance loving nature with firm boundaries to create a

warm, stable environment where the child and parent can eventually collaborate to bring the

child to full, responsible adulthood.

Whether in a traditional or nontraditional family structure, Unison Parenting leads parents

through the ages and stages of childhood into mature adulthood. Additionally, Cecil lays out

parenting fundamentals to manage your child’s growing need for independence during their teen

years, while gradually building trust through incremental decision-making.


Book Excerpt

In my view, a child doesn’t need a mobile phone until they are of an age to be somewhere
unsupervised, where they need to be able to call their parents if needed (e.g., after an
extracurricular activity). It wasn’t very persuasive to me that other kids owned mobile phones.
(A mother from my parenting classes wrote me, “Your lessons helped us realize that it was ok to
say ‘no’ when other parents would say ‘yes’ or ‘they are just being teens.’ ”)
Our family policy was that we would purchase a cell phone for the child when they began
driving. However, the child was allowed to purchase their own cell phone and pay their share of
service on the family plan anytime from sixth grade onward.
I used a spreadsheet with our children to calculate the cost of a mobile phone. Their sources
of money at a young age included gifts, allowances, and paid chores. We estimated how much
money they spent on things like candy or video games. Then they could see the impact of a
mobile phone. Every one of my children decided to delay the purchase of a cell phone until later;
as I recall, they all waited until eighth grade.

" The Road to Chidarra" by Keith B. Perrin -- Epic Book Launch


About the Book


Book: The Road to Chidarra
Author: Keith B. Perrin
Release Date: December 14, 2016
The Road to Chidarra, is a Christian fantasy novel based in an age when men worshipped at the
altar of their cruel masters the gods, and feared the monsters and strange beings who plagued
their lands with malice and terror. The cries of the people are heard, and a stranger is sent from
afar to guide, protect, and bring peace to the lands. This however, comes at great cost, for the
dark powers do not give in so easily, and the struggle for freedom as always, is paved with blood
and sacrifice. 

Book Excerpt

They quickly flew away. The cloaked figure looked at the fireplace to see it still burning
strong and then slowly stood up and yawned, looking at the rotted, cobwebbed shutters
lying broken on the ground. Looking out the window, he notices two large stone figures
holding staffs and wearing crowns, with both hands raised to the heavens, their bearded
faces looking upward, covered in vines and vegetation. Betwixt them was a large stone
altar that he did not notice in the dark. Yawning again, he slowly uncovers his head and
disrobes, revealing a tall, brown-skinned, well-built form, his long black braided locks,
tied in twine, reaching the center of his back. His eyes were sullen and fierce yet full of
wisdom, compassion, and purpose. Lastly, his beard was trimmed short and black. The
man took the water and washed his hands and face, then turning, he bowed his head,
giving thanks for the meal and ate. When his belly was full, he gave his attention to his
staff, which was lying by his sack on the floor. He held it in his hands and closed his
eyes as if to sense something. Then he turned around and walked outside and was
greeted by the dawn of a new day.

About the Author


Keith Perrin, is a Christian Author who loves to tell biblical truths in an entertaining imaginative
way, without compromising the reality of the scriptures, which will inspire people to discover the
Bible and The Lord Jesus Christ for themselves. Growing up he watched tons of super hero
cartons, Saturday afternoon science fiction and monster movies, plus reading marvel comics. His
day dreaming and wild imagination would have him experience all sorts of adventures. Soon he
would put those adventures to paper, drawing and writing stories of all sorts. By far his biggest
inspiration was reading the bible and bible stories at a young age that drew him closer in his
relationship with this awesome God who worked might miracles and showed redemption and
forgiveness to the flawed people in those stories. Flawed people just like himself. Keith’s calling
is to love God, share the Gospel to all who would hear and use his talents to to produce fruit for
the Kingdom of God!
