Becoming Nora explores how unexamined pasts and repressed emotions can simmer beneath a seemingly ordinary and happy marriage.

Until the day her husband shattered her world with the news that he was unhappy and wanted a separation, Nora Stanton had been sure her life was settled, perfect in fact. At age forty, they had everything: good careers, a nice house, and two children-just as planned.

Had she concocted an image of a happy family? How had she been so oblivious?

Nora is forced to face her misconceptions and to uncover parts of herself that had gotten buried in the day-to-day containment of her marriage. As she learns to free herself, she finds herself making choices the old Nora could not have imagined.

"Becoming Nora is a profoundly rich and moving portrait of losing yourself and becoming your own person in equal measure...Margaret Farrell Kirby compels us to contemplate the complex dynamics of marriage and family life. Between relatable marriage issues, inspiring character development, and plot twists, this is a book to treasure and share. It especially reminds married women with kids to stop feeling responsible for other people's happiness or to make things right for everyone." -Review by Emma Megan for Readers' Favorite

What can the modern church do to combat the insidious doctrines of devils that have crept into her sanctuaries to quench her flame? How can she recognise them? What is her protocol? Can she again arise as that glorious church and spotless bride?

NEVER HAS THE OVERALL CHURCH been in more need of an OVERHAUL! The old ship of Zion is sailing in troubled waters beyond her capacity to remain buoyant. She is in need of a new hull, a new rudder, and a new chartered course! Her navigational skills have been too long under the controlling helm of satanic forces. It is high time for her captain and guide, the Holy Ghost, to return to her wheelhouse.

Within the pages of Bats in The Bell Tower, the author takes us into the back rooms and boardrooms of the nefarious "principalities and powers" that have infiltrated the church in the past and have continued to do so until this very day. It is only there, in that backroom, that we can get a glimpse of the formulas and concoctions that have been implemented against her power and purpose.

"This book is well-written and clearly speaks God's message to a sleeping church. It is a revival call to know the living God." - 5-Star Amazon Review

What started out as an epilogue turned into a book of its own. The 13 stories you will read are compelling. They should be. Told by actual combat veterans of the Vietnam conflict, they reflect on so many battles that were fought; battles that were of the "kill, or be killed" type. The stories are, at times, raw. Other times they are humorous. Some end well, some do not.

I learned that these men still carry many burdens that started when they got to Vietnam. I found that the end of their time in service never really ended. Many still suffer. Agent Orange was a culprit. P.T.S.D. was another. None were unscathed.
I was able to interview two family members of a pilot who lost his life in Vietnam.

From this, I learned of the long-lasting effects on family. Each I interviewed a POW from that conflict. I still find it hard to believe that this man came back alive. He's still alive and using his story for good.

One thing for sure is that every one of these fine gentlemen are heroes of the highest order. I found them humble and unassuming about taking on this role. I hope this book will elevate them to their proper place, along with their countless comrades in arms.
