Your Healing Is A SONG Raising your vibrational point of attraction with music
Posted by Literary Titan

Your Healing is a Song is a unique blend of self-help, spirituality, and music therapy that aims to help readers heal their emotional wounds and raise their vibrational energy. The book is divided into two parts: the first lays out the philosophy behind Connie Lansberg’s concept of “Transformational Entertainment™,” while the second offers a collection of songs intended to work as a healing tool. At its core, this book is about using music—particularly jazz—as a means to process emotions, release trauma, and align oneself with positive energy. Lansberg weaves personal anecdotes, scientific explanations, and metaphysical concepts to guide readers on a journey toward self-discovery and inner peace.
Lansberg’s writing style is engaging, passionate, and deeply personal, which makes the book feel like a heartfelt conversation with a wise friend. She shares her own struggles with self-worth, childhood trauma, and career challenges in a way that is raw and relatable. One of my favorite parts is when she describes how she allowed herself to be intimidated by a musician she collaborated with, only to realize later that her reaction stemmed from past-life trauma and subconscious limiting beliefs. Her honesty in these moments makes the book feel authentic rather than preachy. I also appreciated her humorous and down-to-earth approach—like when she assures readers that if they dislike her music at first, it’s just their ego resisting change.
The book is at its strongest when Lansberg explores the intersection of music and emotional healing. She delves into the science of vibrational frequencies, referencing concepts like entrainment and the impact of sound on the emotional body. The comparison of unprocessed emotions to a blown fuse in an electrical circuit is especially effective—it’s a simple yet powerful metaphor for how energy blockages affect our well-being. However, some of the more esoteric ideas, such as reading the Akashic Records to understand the deeper purpose of each song, might not resonate with every reader.
While the first part is rich in insight, the second half, “Part 2 The Workbook”—containing the song list and instructions for use—feels less engaging in a written format. Since the music is such an integral part of the healing process, I think it would have been helpful if there were more discussion on the emotional journey of each song rather than just the technical aspects of their energy work. That said, I love the idea of pairing music with self-reflection, and the invitation to listen multiple times to allow deep healing to take place is a refreshing take on self-improvement.
Your Healing is a Song is an intriguing and heartfelt book that blends music, self-healing, and spirituality in a way that feels fresh and personal. It’s perfect for anyone interested in the healing power of sound, jazz lovers looking for a deeper connection to music, or those on a journey of self-discovery who are open to alternative methods of emotional healing.

My Foundation
Posted by Literary-Titan

The Importance of Tithes and Offerings emphasizes financial obedience and the sincere conviction behind tithing as a Christian. Why was this an important book for you to write?
For as long as I can remember, this topic of tithes and offerings seems to always spark a question or becomes an issue. Do we have to? Didn’t tithing end back in the Old Testament? Doesn’t God prefer me to take care of my family before taking care of the church? All of these are good questions, and on a human level understandable, but are not biblical. God’s Word is the only source we stand on whenever we have questions or concerns. God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) How we personally choose to honor God with our finances is up to the individual that I cannot nor anyone else can answer for you. Therefore, for either of us to debate our opinion against each other is useless. This is why I explain in my book that you must decide how you will personally choose to honor God.
Do we have to? If you have to ask why or struggle with the heart to do so; then keep your money. God is not begging for your money, God only wants your heart and He wants a heart that gives cheerfully and not grudgingly.
There may be some who think that tithing ended back in the Old Testament. The only part that ended was the law requirement to do so.
Jesus says, in Matthew 5:17, that he did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. Since we are under grace because of what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, we now have the freedom to choose. You can choose to tithe or not to tithe, just like you have the choice to serve God or not to serve God. Remember, God does not want robots, He wants each person to freely choose Him with their heart and their money.
When it comes to taking care of your family versus the church? Here again, you cannot compare the two. Saying the church dismisses the true one you should have the focus on giving to and that is God. As I discuss in the book, God is fully aware of our responsibilities and when we take care of God’s house (the church) He will take care of our house. But if you already have the wrong focus in your giving you will not reap the benefit of the blessings. If we find the need to keep going back and forth disputing why we should not tithe or offer, it just further shows our reluctance to trust God with our finances. This reluctance also shows that we do not trust that He is more than able to take care of our family and us through the tough times. But I know, God is able!
Do you view writing as a spiritual practice?
For me it is my foundation, I always say, it is all God through His Holy Spirit whenever I write a book. Otherwise, I will not do it. When I receive a topic in my spirit to write about, I pray and seek the Lord to see if this is something I am hearing from the Holy Spirit or something that I just want to do. If it does not flow from God’s Holy Spirit to me, then it is clear it is not for me to do.
How much and what kind of research did you undertake in order to put your book together?
I would say it came from my experience from tithing and offering for over 30 years, as well as my personal relationship with God for over 50 years. I know nothing by myself, it all comes from spending time with God and by reading His Word daily. It is true what the Word says in John 14:26. The Holy Spirit will bring all things to your rememberance. This is all I need to achieve and complete whatever He directs me to do.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from this book?
I hope readers take away the importance to seek God whenever you have questions or concerns. Tithes and offerings are only one aspect of our personal relationship with God. God wants to be Lord of all areas of our life and not just the areas we decide to pick and choose to let Him in. Anytime you surrender yourself to God, He will give you the peace and understanding you need for every area of your life.

We honor God when He is first place in our life. Sowing “tithes and offerings” is especially honorable when it is given from our first fruits and not our last fruits. Proverbs 3:9, says, “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase:” In 1 Corinthians 14:40, it states, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” This lets us know that there is “order” expected even in our giving.
In this book, I address whether “tithes and offerings” is a practice that should be honored today, and if so, what is the order according to God’s Word. I also discuss what I have learned through my life experiences, that has proven to me, obedience to God’s Word is far better than sacrifice. (1 Samuel 15:22)

The Importance of Tithes and Offerings
Posted by Literary Titan

Jacqui D. Williams’ The Importance of Tithes and Offerings is a heartfelt and deeply personal exploration of biblical giving. The book lays out the spiritual and practical reasons for tithing, emphasizing that it is not merely an obligation but an act of faith and love toward God. Williams combines scripture, personal stories, and practical advice to make her case, drawing from both the Old and New Testaments. She argues that giving should come from a place of devotion rather than duty, and she shares how financial obedience has shaped her own spiritual journey. The book also touches on common debates about whether tithing is relevant today, ultimately urging readers to honor God with their resources as a demonstration of trust.
One thing I appreciated about this book is its sincerity. Williams writes with conviction and passion, making it clear that this is not just theology for her—it’s personal. She shares how her mother and sister influenced her giving habits, and she openly talks about the period in her life when she struggled with tithing. Her transparency makes the book relatable, especially when she describes how prioritizing bills over God led to financial and spiritual struggles. She doesn’t just throw scriptures at the reader; she walks you through them, explaining how they’ve played out in her life. Take Malachi 3:10, for example—the famous passage about bringing tithes into the storehouse. Williams doesn’t just use it to tell readers what they should do; she explains how she tested God in this area and saw blessings unfold in unexpected ways.
The book leans on personal conviction. While Williams acknowledges that tithing is not a requirement under New Testament grace, she firmly believes in its importance. The writing style is conversational and easy to read, but certain points are hammered home multiple times in different ways. If someone is struggling with the idea of tithing or wondering if it still applies today, her arguments are clear, persuasive, and rooted in scripture.
I’d recommend this book to Christians who want to deepen their understanding of giving, particularly those who are uncertain about tithing or struggling to be consistent with it. If you want a personal, encouraging take on why giving matters and how it can change your faith, Williams delivers. Her passion for the topic is evident.

15 Years of Study
Posted by Literary-Titan
City of God Stories is an abridgment of Mystical City of God, originally written by Venerable María de Jesús de Ágreda that shares with readers selected stories from her visions, recounting divine revelations about the life of the Virgin Mary, the birth and mission of Jesus Christ, and the celestial battle between good and evil. Why was this an important book for you to write?
The original 1657 Spanish publication “Mística Ciudad de Dios” was required reading for seminarians studying to be priests until many of them lost their minds and circa 1750 it was condemned.
When St. Pope Paul VI encouraged the Catholic Faithful to read it, I was excited to undertake his challenge. When I learned that these stories were told in 1622 to Venerable María de Jesús de Ágreda by Almighty God, St. Michael the Archangel and the Blessed Virgin Mary, then it was obvious to me that these stories should not remain in obscurity. Therefore, I dedicated 15 years of study and effort to compile these magnificent stories that are absent from the Bible.
How much research did you undertake for this book and how much time did it take to put it all together?
I first began reading my resource document, “Mystical City of God” which is the English translation of the Original 1657 Spanish publication Mistica Ciudad de Dios by Venerable Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda. The English translation was done from 1902 to 1914 by Fiscar Marison aka Rev Father George J. Blatter comprised of 4 Volumes of 8 books of 2,676 pages. In 1975, I could not get past page 35 which described the battle for Heaven by St. Michael the Archangel. In October 2010 I was forced into an early retirement and decided to utilize my time to read and understand these magnificent stories. It took me 8 hours every day for six months to complete my first entire reading. And another 8 to 12 weeks for each of the next six complete readings. During my seventh reading, I began selecting and extracting the most interesting and exciting stories which I compiled into 25 Chapters. I added my 24 pages of PROLOGUE which contains extensive factual evidence to authenticate that these stories were told by the Powers of Heaven.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
I dedicated an entire chapter: “Chapter 26 – Lessons Learned” to highlight the special things that I learned such as:
- The Blessed Virgin Mary came first before the angels & man in the mind of God.
- The Last Secret of Faith
- God’s Humility is the astonishment of Angels.
- The Angels are dependent on Jesús and the Blessed Virgin Mary for their salvation as human beings are.
- In the Eucharist, the Eternal Father and the Holy Spirit are equally present with Jesus the Son.
- Majority of the human race will be condemned to hell.
- There are 3 heavens.
- The only disagreement to ever occur between the Father and the Son.
- What angers God the most.
What is the next book that you are working on and when is that book due out?
I am planning on publishing City of God Stories in 7 different languages.
Next Ciudad de Dios – Historias will be released in March. By June, the Portuguese version will be released. And then: the Italian, Polish, German, and French versions.
I intend to use my Amazon/KDP Royalties to produce a 30-minute Animated Movie based on Chapter 2 – Battle for Heaven.
Author Links: GoodReads | Amazon
The holy priest, Ven. Abbe Jacques Andre Emery said: “Only since I read the revelations (Ciudad de Dios) of Maria de Agreda do I properly know Jesus and his Holy Mother”.
IGNATIOUS, Bishop of Ratisbon, said: “Ciudad de Dios…will surely edify all readers and be the occasion of great spiritual blessings.”
INTRODUCTION For the enlightenment and salvation of souls: Almighty God, St. Michael the Archangel, and the Blessed Virgin Mary revealed and dictated to Sister Mary of Agreda explicit details of Creation, the Battle for Heaven, previously untold details of the lives of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus, and the early days of the Church until the Edict of Milan 313 AD when the Church became secular. All this happened in 1622 in her Conceptionists Convent of cloistered Poore Clare Nuns in Agreda, Spain. It is not understood why Sister Mary of Agreda burned the original records. This angered the Blessed Virgin Mary very much. So, the Blessed Mother commanded Sister Mary of Agreda to rewrite everything. In order to accomplish this great task, the Blessed Virgin Mary sent two of her powerful Seraphim Angels to repeat everything word-for-word to Sr. Mary of Agreda. These Seraphim Angels of the Blessed Virgin Mary were very stern with Sister Mary making her rewrite every word they said, forcing her to work long hours. These powerful Angels stayed with Sr. Mary and hounded her constantly until all 8 books of 2,676 pages were published in 1657 entitled “Ciudad de Dios.”
“Ciudad de Dios” has been blessed by 12 Popes. St. Pope Paul VI encouraged the Faithful to read it and said: “Ciudad de Dios” contains nothing contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church”. On November 16, 2023, in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, Pope Francis received in audience the participants in the Conference on the Venerable María de Jesús de Ágreda organized by the Pontifical International Marian Academy, to whom he talked about the holiness of Venerable María de Jesús de Ágreda. 360 years after her death the incorrupt body of Venerable Sister Mary of Agreda lies on display in her Church of the Conceptionists Convent in Ágreda, Spain.
In 1902 to 1914 Fiscar Marison aka Rev. George J. Blatter translated the original Spanish “Ciudad de Dios” into English entitled “The Mystical City of God” as 4 volumes of 2,676 pages published in 1914. The English translation “The Mystical City of God” and the Spanish original “Ciudad de Dios” consisting of 2,676 pages in 8 Books are extremely challenging to read and overwhelming for most people, which has resulted in these stories to be forgotten. These amazing stories are extremely profound and so exciting to contemplate, that everyone should read and become familiar with them. The importance of this information is manifested by the 17th century efforts of Almighty God, St. Michael the Archangel and the Blessed Virgin Mary to tell these amazing stories. In support of the Will of God, the purpose for publishing an abridged condensed version of selected stories is to provide an easy to read and comprehend format to encourage and propagate readership to make these magnificent stories known. Readers have said: “It greatly enhanced my rosary meditations.”

Living Fearless in Christ: Why I Left Islam to Win Battles for the Kingdom
Posted by Literary Titan

Faith and religion hold immense power to inspire, yet they can also bewilder and challenge. In Living Fearless in Christ: Why I Left Islam to Win Battles for the Kingdom, Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco explores this duality through her deeply personal journey. The book chronicles the author’s journey from growing up in a secular Iranian-American household to becoming a devout Muslim, only to later discover a deeper sense of purpose and redemption through Christianity.
Falco’s memoir is a compelling story of spiritual discovery and transformation. She shares the trials of transitioning from a life immersed in Islam to embracing Christianity, offering readers an intimate view of what it means to rebuild one’s faith. Her reflections delve into universal themes: the weight of family expectations, the toxicity of certain relationships, and the disorientation of feeling unanchored in life. Among these challenges, Falco emphasizes the sense of emptiness she experienced, a void that neither professional success nor personal perseverance could fill. Despite advancing in a prestigious career in national security, she describes an unshakable feeling of discontent. For her, the journey to fulfillment required not only breaking away from her past but also discovering a faith that resonated deeply with her soul.
This story transcends its surface narrative of religious conversion. Its themes of self-discovery, courage, and purpose offer valuable insights to readers across all belief systems, including those who identify as atheist or agnostic. Falco’s account is a reminder that fulfillment often requires finding alignment between one’s values and life’s direction. For her, Christianity provided that anchor. For others, the path may differ, but the pursuit of peace and meaning remains universal.
Falco writes with warmth and accessibility, making her story engaging for readers regardless of their personal faith. Her ability to weave profound reflections into a relatable story ensures that Living Fearless in Christ is an invitation to explore what it means to live with conviction and purpose.

The Science of the Afterlife
Posted by Literary Titan

Barry Aubin’s The Science of the Afterlife is a bold attempt to merge science, religion, and philosophy into a single cohesive theory of existence beyond death. He introduces the “Electron Consciousness Theory,” arguing that human souls are made of electrons and that our consciousness persists after death as an electrical presence in the universe. Through a mix of scientific speculation, religious references, and personal insights, Aubin builds a case that the afterlife is not just a matter of faith but of physics. He challenges readers to rethink what it means to exist and whether death is truly the end.
Aubin’s writing is both ambitious, which makes the book engaging yet, at times, overwhelming. He presents compelling questions, like if energy cannot be destroyed, then where does our consciousness go? And he supports them with theories drawn from thermodynamics and neuroscience. One of the most intriguing parts of the book is his exploration of how electrons store memory, suggesting that our thoughts and experiences may survive in a form beyond our physical bodies. This idea resonates with my own beliefs about the afterlife. If souls are energy, and energy continues to exist, then it seems only natural that we persist in some way. His discussion on how electrons might disperse and communicate after death made me pause and reflect on the idea of spiritual presence.
While I appreciate his effort to explain the afterlife through physics, there were moments when his reasoning seemed more intuitive than evidence-based. The connection between morality and the electrical charge of a soul was an interesting concept and left me wondering. Still, his passion for understanding the spiritual world through scientific means is admirable.
One of the most thought-provoking aspects of the book was its discussion on telepathy and spiritual communication. Aubin suggests that electrons within the brain may allow for an exchange of thoughts beyond death, potentially explaining ghostly encounters, divine voices, or even prayer. The idea that we are all part of a vast electrical network, constantly interacting on some unseen level, aligns with many religious and spiritual beliefs. While mainstream science may dismiss such claims, I found comfort in his argument that just because something is not fully understood does not mean it is not real.
The Science of the Afterlife is a thought-provoking read for those who are open to unconventional ideas about existence beyond death. It is not a traditional religious text, nor is it a rigorously scientific one, but it is an imaginative and heartfelt exploration of what might lie beyond. While some of his theories may be difficult to accept, his core message is one of hope: that life, in some form, continues. And for those of us who already believe in an afterlife, that is a comforting thought indeed.

It’s Time To Go Up!
Posted by Literary Titan

Nico Smit’s It’s Time to Go Up! is a passionate, personal, and deeply convicting book about pursuing a life of revival and intimacy with God. Smit makes it clear from the beginning that this isn’t just a book; it’s a call to action. Through personal stories, biblical reflections, and a relentless emphasis on worship, prayer, and obedience, he urges readers to leave behind complacency and step into a life of spiritual awakening. The book focuses on the idea that revival starts with the individual, not just churches or large gatherings. It’s about saying “yes” to God’s invitation to go deeper, higher, and closer in faith.
One thing I really appreciated was the intensity and urgency of Smit’s writing. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. At times, I found myself nodding along, convicted by his words, especially when he talks about the difference between visiting God’s presence and living in it. He compares many Christians to people who only check in with God when they’re in trouble, rather than abiding in Him every moment. It made me pause and reflect.
Another thing that stood out was Smit’s emphasis on prayer. He doesn’t treat it as a religious obligation but as the heartbeat of a real relationship with God. He describes prayer as the gateway to transformation, not just a routine or a checklist item. I loved how he linked prayer with going “higher,” not physically but spiritually. He makes a strong case that prayer lifts us out of earthly distractions and into a heavenly mindset. His writing on this topic isn’t just informative; it’s inspiring. You can tell he’s not just talking about theory; this is how he actually lives.
One of my favorite parts of the book was Chapter 9: Revival Starts with You. Smit challenges the idea that revival is some massive event that just happens. Instead, he insists that revival is deeply personal; it starts in the heart before it ever reaches a community. I loved his analogy of revival being like a seed planted in the soil of our personal lives. It grows in secret, in those quiet moments with God, long before anyone sees its impact. That idea stuck with me. It’s easy to want change in the world, in churches, in society but Smit reminds us that real change begins when we get serious about our own faith first.
It’s Time to Go Up! is the perfect read for anyone who feels stuck, dry, or just going through the motions in their faith. This book will challenge you, push you, and maybe even make you a little uncomfortable, but in the best way. It’s not a passive read. Smit writes with fire, and you can feel his passion on every page. If you’re looking for a book that will inspire you to pursue a deeper, more committed relationship with God, this is the book.

Daily Communication With God
Posted by Literary-Titan

God Is Speaking to You offers readers heartfelt encouragement for those seeking clarity in their exploration of Christianity. Why was this an important book for you to write?
Throughout my journey as a born-again Christian, I have often heard this question, ‘How do I know when God is speaking to me?” I knew in my spirit that this was a question that only through the Holy Spirit of God did I want to try my best to answer; and that way is based on my own personal experiences. I knew that it was not something that would happen overnight, but over time well spent with God. Which can only happen by reading the Word of God and daily communication (prayer) with God.
What was your biggest challenge in putting this guide together for readers?
I would say my biggest challenge in putting this book or any book (guide) together would be that I maintain accuracy as I relate my story to the Word of God. I always want to make sure that what I share is backed and followed up with scripture. I would tell anyone when it comes to the Word of God always do your own research. If you cannot find it in God’s Word then do not believe it and please do not follow it.
As Paul said in the scripture, 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow me as I follow Christ.”
What is one thing you hope readers are able to take away from your book?
The importance of having a personal relationship with the one and only true God of all Creation, and the importance and need to accept and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
Can we look forward to more work from you soon? What are you currently working on?
First question, is yes and actually God Is Speaking to You, is my third book, I already have four other books that have been published and are available for purchase:
How Do I Know I Am Really Saved?
The Importance of Tithes and Offerings
God Is Speaking to You
Life after Death: Heaven and Hell Are Real Places
I currently have in publication my fifth book, which is titled – Focused for Purpose, and I hope to have this released by late Spring or early Summer.
Author Links: Goodreads | Website | The Importance of Tithes and Offerings | How Do I Know I Am Really Saved | Life After Death | Amazon
Throughout our life, we can see examples of God’s spoken Word that brought forth life to our dead situations, healing to our sick bodies, and restoration in our broken relationships. Even during some of our hardest and most difficult times of hurt, pain, disappointments, and devastation, we as children of God can testify that there is evidence where God still used something from that pain to turn it around for our good and in our favor (Romans 8:28).
In this book, God Is Speaking to You, I want readers to be open to hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking to their hearts as it relates to their individual walk with God. God is always speaking to us in some way, and we want to be sensitive to recognize and know when it is the voice of God (John 10:4–5). When we spend quality time in His presence, there will be no doubt that we will be able to identify the difference between the voice of God and a stranger.
