BOOK LAUNCH & BOOK SIGNING ON MARCH 2, 2024, WEST CHARLESTON LIBRARY, LAS VEGAS, NV
It was a Saturday, 3:00 - 5:00 pm the afternoon, March 2, 2024 when I launched my two new books entitled: WORDS SPEAK WISDOM and BOOST ME UP: Walk in Faith with God's Words.
Words Speak Wisdom was first published on May 2022 while I was in Esko, MN. That was the reason why the book launching was delayed. This was published by Christian Faith Publishing based in Meadville, PA, USA. This is a book of poetry whose main message is living a righteous life; that is facing reality and challenges in life. The goal is becoming the best human being in one's lifetime.
The second book is entitled: BOOST ME UP: Walk in Faith with God's Words. This is a 365-day devotional book with M-Morale Verse Boosters and Bible Verses from NIV (New International Version). The M-Morale Verse Boosters are my own created verses taken from the many writings I have done in the past. They are powerful messages of love, peace, hope and righteousness. People who read this book will surely enjoy reading and learning from the many good insights provided for by the daily narratives and meditations.
The event was successful, participants took active part in the program. A pep talk was delivered by Minerva Honkala, the author. She was introduced briefly by Curtis Helt, one of her good friends in Toastmasters. The opening prayer was also done by a Toastmaster friend named, Woodrow Trice. Emceed by Cristina Scoble, the program was even more smoothly flowing. Karen DeShazer, a past CCSD Head Librarian read the book reviews for both books. Prior to the program, a short TV interview of Minerva Honkala by Esmeralda Padilla-Gould of Vegas Vibes Junction, FilAm TV was shown to the audience. The program was pepped up by the group singing of WORDS by BeeGees and WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD by Anne Murray.
It was a splendid day. All of the over thirty friends and supporters who joined us had a wonderful time. Book signing followed and it was full of excitement for all those who lined up for books and the signing of the books they purchased. FASFOS through President Felipe Danglapin received a $500 check towards FASFOS Scholarship Funds.
It was a huge success. God is good! He makes things happen! Thank you, Lord! Please bless each and everyone of us who were there at the book launching supporting me and my mission of peace, love and unity amongst men. Let us be ONE with our Heavenly Father sitting beside us everyday of our lives. Amen.
