THE CHRISTIAN FAITH / Now & Then
The genesis for this book/The Christian Faith began over 30 years ago when an extensive study and review of Christianity and it's core teachings began as a simple quest to know what it means to be a Christian, and what are the essential truths and doctrines of orthodox Christianity. This proved to be a tedious and lengthy journey that meant hundreds of hours researching and examining key words and scriptures in the Bible (both Catholic & Protestant) that most Christians include in their catechism and statements of faith.
This book centers around the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the Christian doctrines that have been considered the "orthodox foundation" for Christians since the first disciples of Christ took the Gospel into all the world at that time to the present. While there exist serious doctrinal differences within Christianity's 3 major branches(Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism), and they are addressed; this book's focus is on what Christians as a whole agree on and teach as the essential truths of the Christian Faith.
This book was going to include a lengthy treatment of The First Principles of Christ /Heb.6:1-3; but we soon realized that it would be better to release that as a separate book that will follow this book as: Volume 2 ; in a series of writings under the umbrella of The Christian Faith. Those principles, also referred to often as: The Doctrine of Christ; are the basic foundational truths that all Christians need to know if they are to go unto maturity as followers of Jesus Christ. We hope to have that published in 2024 or possibly 2025 with God's help.
Our ultimate aim in writing this book, is to reveal Jesus Christ as the center, essence, and foundation from which Christianity stands. We hope anyone reading this book finds that only a relationship with Jesus Christ can give their lives meaning and purpose. That is our prayer and hope.

0UT OF THE DARKNESS - my personal testimony of my life before coming to Jesus Christ. Michael D'Aigle a.k.a./fool4christ
My journey from the darkness - from the depths of sin to the marvelous light of Jesus Christ. This is my testimony of a broken young man tossed out of his home. Hitch-hiking across America, panhandling, stealing doing whatever to survive. Then later touring the U.S. with Dick Wagner and The Frost, where I was exposed to the dark side of the secular music world. Drugs, sex, rock and roll were all I lived for - then disillusioned and desperate for answers to the emptiness inside; I became involved with Scientology as a staff member working in Detroit, Michigan.
Realizing later that I was trapped in a religious cult that had me under their control - I began to cry out to God to help me escape from Scientology. God heard my prayers, and not only rescued me out of Scientology, but delivered me completely out of the world of lawlessness and rebellion that was all I had known. God didn't change the world around me - He changed me.
PEARLS of WISDOM
This book is an "assignment" God gave me. Write stories, and poems, and other things that all contain a "pearl of wisdom"; and that can be read on the "fly". I honestly believe I can tell you, I fulfilled my "heavenly assignment". This book is designed for this fast paced generation, with twists and turns that are all designed to make the reader's journey amusing, and provocative at the same time.
I know God has a sense of humor, and I'm sure you will discover that within the pages of this little book. Most of the ideas and thoughts are borne out of my own experiences before and after becoming a Christian; and I'm certain you will never look at the Bible, the subject of Christianity, or yourself in the same way ever again! . I pray this small book draws all who read it's pages - closer to God, and to those you love here on earth.
Blessings to all who read this book/Michael D'Aigle

LIGHT IN THE DARK publishing - was borne out of my personal investment of time and my own experience as an aspiring author who knew little about the business side of being a "published author". Although I have been a songwriter since my early teens, and have written well over 500 songs to date, and was signed by SESAC in 1986; I knew very little about the world of writing as an author of poetry, short stories, novels and other more serious works of literature. After researching the business side of being a published author for more than 3 years; I finally realized with God's help and intervention - that I could realize my dream of being a published author with almost no "upfront money", and without the backing of a mainstream publishing company...
God opened my eyes and understanding to see that it is possible for anyone to publish a book if they simply know how to go about doing that. That may sound simple enough, but many individuals have amazing ideas for a novel or other written work that never sees the light of day. Only God knows how many great unpublished works have died in a folder or in desk drawer; only because the authors of these works gave up on their dream of being published. Why? Because until recently, you had to know someone on the inside of a major publishing house, or have a considerable amount of money to let someone "help" you get published; and this can be thousands of dollars for just a few books that often sit in one's garage or basement... that has all changed with the birth of the internet, and now you and me, and millions of other aspiring writers can reach millions of readers worldwide; and for next to nothing in terms of upfront money. This is by far the best time in the history of man, to be a writer - don't believe me. I'm proof of that. With almost no money, and without knowing anyone on the inside of the publishing industry, I've managed to publish my first book(I'm now working on two more as I write this); and was able to release it in both print and in the popular Kindle format - and again, all for next to nothing. If I can do it, you and others can to.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR CHRISTIAN AUTHORS: If you are a Christian who loves to write, and have a book or unpublished works that you do not want to die in a folder or on a shelf - we may be able to help.

And, in additiion we may be able to advise you on how to publish and market your' works with little money at all! Don't contact us if you are looking for us to promise you anything other than our commitment to excellence, and our desire to partner with you in prayer as a partner in creating something that will bring glory and honor to God... We may not make a penny assisting you, and/or advising you on how to go forward with your ideas for a book or other literature; but we didn't begin this ministry with the goal of making money or becoming rich - at least not in terms of money. If you're not sure of how to get your book/idea into reality - you may want to contact us about making your' dream of being a published author come true. I know, because if I can do it - anyone can.
