“I remember thinking and verbalizing many times: I will never write a book—too much work!  That was my mindset until our older daughter, Jamie, was diagnosed with breast cancer in spring of 2011.  Then I knew there would be a book of Jamie’s divine healing, so I began taking notes extensively, continuing through Jamie’s illness and eventual untimely death at the age of 36.  I have always been a journaler, but now attention to every detail was critical.

“Writing Jamie’s biography proved more than I could deliver in those early months following Jamie’s transition into heaven.  Reliving the life and death of my daughter triggered far too many tears and made typing next to impossible.  So God said, “Write this book instead now and work on Jamie’s book later.”  And that, my friends, is how “Connections” came to be—self-published in 2014.

“I love the Word of God and have read the Bible completely through over fifty times.  The more I read it, the more I learn about the Almighty God and my loving Savior Jesus Christ, and the more I realize I need Him so much every day.  I don’t want to live a single day without His Word going deep into my heart, transforming me, and making me more like Christ.  I hunger for the heart of God and the mind of Christ.  God is the same yesterday, today, and forever in this ever-changing world.  His character, who He is, and His truths remain the same throughout the ages.  That in itself is so comforting to me.  Everyone should be able to read the Bible from cover to cover and begin to know the full counsel of God.”

Both of Karen’s Christian books should be a part of your personal library.  Order today.

Marginalysis

Christian Author and Speaker, Karen Norton, has written Marginalysis – Building Margin into our Busy Lives, as a window into her own practice of establishing healthy boundaries. She defines this creative term by saying, Marginalysis is all about self-care and how to build and maintain healthy God-honoring margin in your life. In fourteen short but power-packed chapters, Karen illustrates how to integrate this principle into key areas impacting the development of body, soul, and spirit so that stress is reduced and the pressure of life’s demands do not prevent the blessings of deepening our relationship with God. For those who are struggling with finding consistent devotional time and managing the chaos of life, Karen’s book will be a guide and inspiration to establishing margins that result in renewal and refreshing. Marginalysis is God’s Word activated in every area of our life and ministry. I highly recommend it as a timely encouragement in stressful times.

“Marginalysis”

If you’re a super-busy person, Marginalysis is for you. If you’re a super-busy Christian, well that’s even better!

I wrote these eighty-two pages with you in mind. It’s true. We are all so busy (at least we think we are) that personal one-on-one time with our Creator God is squeezed right off the page, and a hundred time-eating less important activities prevail. How does this happen?

As a matter of fact, those light pink vertical lines on our daily page indicating margin around our day are no longer visible. Everything has overflowed the limits of sanity and then been scrunched together until our day looks like one big confusing glob, and we end up asking ourselves the question, “What exactly did I accomplish today?”

Marginalysis can help you reestablish and maintain healthy margins in your day, add mental clarity, reduce stress, and be more productive.

“Mom, God’s Got This”

My thirteen-year-old daughter walked into the living room and sat down beside me on the sofa.  She was crying.  “Momma, I think God has called me to preach.  I had a dream and I saw a sea of people with black hair.  There were so many people crowded together, and they don’t know who Jesus is.”

I invite you to step into the very private heart of a mother and her daughter.  This is Jamie’s story—a story of courage and obedience, faith and doubt, heartbreak and disappointment, inner struggles and victories.  A young East Texas girl who followed God’s call to the other side of the world, Jamie loved the lost and those who have never heard the good news of Jesus Christ.

Then why did she have to die?

Through it all I have learned God’s grace is always sufficient and He is faithful to His Word.  While in our home the last ten weeks of her life, we walked with her through that valley of the shadow of death.  It was the most difficult, and at the same time, the most blessed time, for we saw God transition her from this life into everlasting life with Him.  What a precious Hope we have in Jesus!  Not only that, the Lord has also walked with me through this grief journey, transforming my sorrow into joy.

Book Review by Attorney Robert Flournoy:  “I had the privilege of reviewing Jamie’s book before it was published to be certain that it met all appropriate legal parameters. I became so enthralled with the story and compelled by the testimony of this young lady that I almost forgot what I was charged to do.

“It seemed surreal reading an autobiography written posthumously.  Jamie clearly had a heart for sharing the gospel and even though she thought it would be in China or some other foreign land she could not have imagined that it would be to millions. In hindsight, God obviously had a plan for her life which was to know Him and the power of His resurrection.  Through the struggles and the pain of rejection and medical maladies, Jamie literally appropriated the character and the will of God into her soul.  She, and her mother, Karen, recorded the events of her life as though they were preparing for this book. As Karen compiled these journals, it also became obvious that the contemporaneous reflections of Jamie’s day to day life gave clarity and veracity to her whole story.

“This is an amazing young lady whose struggles were overcome by the goodness of her Savior.   As I read her story, I came to know and to trust the Lord more intimately myself –  as you will.   I will not feel sorry for Jamie but admire her resolute faith and purpose, not without fault or at times faltering, but she lived an exemplary life in the confidence and care of the Lord.  She, as was said of King David, “was a man (woman) who served the purposes of God in his (her) generation and then died” (Acts 13:36).

Back cover endorsement by Delmer R. Guynes, EDD, President Emeritus, Southwestern A/G University: “The story of Jamie Norton Lund is one of unselfish love for family and China.  Her dedication as a brilliant young woman to share that love with university students in China’s hinterland was passionate and complete.  She will live on in the hearts of young men and women who are destined to change the very nature of China itself.”

These Christian books are perfect for sharing with others and make great gifts.  “Connections” is ideal for those wanting more from their daily time with God.  “Mom, God’s Got This” will inspire those with whom you share it as they learn about God’s call on Jamie’s life.  It will also offer hope for anyone going through a journey of grief as Karen honestly describes her transformation from sorrow to joy.
