As some of you know, I’m preparing to publish my first book in December. “OMG! What’s Been Done with Jesus? Bringing Christ Back to the Forefront” is the book’s title. Jesus Christ, the leader of the Christian faith, is its focus, along with personal stories I share of my journey with Him thus far. They are memoirs of my experience with Jesus from my birth until about age 40.
Are you unsure or confused about who Jesus Christ is? Maybe disillusioned? Possibly, you never even heard about Him. “Just who is Jesus Christ?” you ask. What did He do? Why did He come to earth? If so great as they say, why did He spend so much time with little people like me?
These and other questions are what we explore in this book. Many have never heard of or known about Jesus Christ. Some who claim to know Him, even they have little or contradictory information about Him. The Church that He leads doesn’t rightly speak of Him, represent Him, or carry out His mission anymore.
“OMG! What’s Been Done with Jesus? Bringing Christ Back to the Forefront” takes a look at some of the common misconceptions and misunderstandings about Jesus Christ that have been circulating for centuries. It challenges these erroneous ideals with Scripture.
The aim of the book is to help readers understand Jesus Christ and recognize His significance for our lives and the Church. We honestly consider ways we may have sidelined Him, put Him “on the back burner.” He’s not promulgated much anymore (in the Church). People seem to have ignored or replaced His mission with something else. The book explores likely reasons for this and offers ways in which we can bring Christ back to His rightful place—as Lord!
Written articulately in a learned, conversational, crisp, chatty, and readable style, anyone will enjoy reading this book—the young or old, believers in Jesus Christ or nonbelievers, or first-time Bible readers. You will find a message in it for yourself and will learn something new about Jesus Christ or the Bible that you may have never thought of. “OMG! What’s Been Done with Jesus? Bringing Christ Back to the Forefront” will cause you to think seriously, dig deeper for meaning.
I hope most of the younger generations, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, will pick it up because most of the personal stories I share are in this age demographic, where now, it seems, there is more confusion about Jesus and His Church that has negatively impacted you. There is a way forward.
Pray for me to the finish line, and click author’s list to add your name and email to my author’s list to be notified when it goes to publication. Thanks!
Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.

Hello Elie. Looking forward to reading the book. All you’ve shared is so true. It’s time for many to return to Christ who’ve known Him but stepped away, or for nonbelievers to come to know Christ themselves. I believe they’ll find Him to be as awesome as we know Him to be. Jesus has brought me through much including ten year caregiving journey for Mom, who has passed on, kept me during restoration and recovery to now live in great love and grace daily; family, faith and finance challenges and so much more. I can’t live without Him, and am grateful for bright hope for today and eternity. Lupus, eczema, Alzheimer’s (Mom), cancer (sister), and more can’t withstand the joy, strength and resiliency I found in Christ overcoming all. Continue being blessed and a blessing.

Thank you, Cynthia. Yes, it is true, the Lord brings us through all life situations we go through. I often say, how are people making it without the Lord, especially now with our world getting more evil.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll be sure to keep you posted. Blessings! 😊❤️

Congratulations on finishing your book. I do know the work that entails. As it has not been published yet, I have a question concerning your title. Is the OMG a cry to God? Seeing what you write that would be my first thought. But have you considered it might be taken the wrong way … the way the world uses it? Just a thought. I do pray the Lord uses it all for his glory. Again congratulations.

Thanks for your honest comments, Donna. Yes, my editor also thought I should consider offending someone. However, she searched and found other book titles that had OMG.
For my book, it’s a statement of surprise–“Oh my goodness” it could mean. I explain its use in my Intro. Also the acronym is used heavily on social media among the younger generations (my target audience). So, we’ll see. Bless you dear! Thanks. 😉❤️
