We, then, are better equipped to understand and receive His deep, passionate love for us and, thus, share it more abundantly with others. The journey to find The Gift of God’s Heart is an extremely powerful, motivational, and devotional trek through God’s Word to find God’s heart.

The Gift of God's Word

“Oh, Lord, tell me!

How was His body when He ascended to Your heavenly center?

Was He brightly magnificent in holiness prepared to heaven enter?

Was He clothed in purity and devotion, though stripped by our sin?

Was He wearing goodness and sanctity as He entered therein?”

From the poem “His Body,” the eminently spiritual poetic verse from the pen of D. Ferris Arfaa contains the meaning and effect for which so many people are searching today.

Guided by the intent of divine inspiration, the author’s collection of verse, The Gift of God’s Word, is just that: a magnificent gift!

Realized from scripture, this book contains poems that reflect on the teachings and life of Jesus Christ as revealed in the gospels of Luke and Matthew.

They are invented to uplift, educate, and illuminate God’s love and the power of faith, while establishing and understanding the way toward salvation. And that’s the best gift of all!

The Gift of Hope

Life as a survivor is far more than just cancer and treatment, life or death.

It is a battle for your sanity, a search for power, a dedication to hope, and an attempt to live whatever time ends up being allotted without succumbing to fear.

The Gift of Hope is the intersection of that survival with what it means to be a mother and doctor in these challenging and ever-changing times.

Within that journey lies the meaning of perseverance, the worthiness of the fight, and the difference that love makes.

The Golden Hour

How did the old Chinese restaurants become so ubiquitous in American culture? Prior to the 1980s, over 40,000 Chinese-American restaurants supplied the USA with dishes like Egg Foo Young, Sweet and Sour Pork, Chicken Chow Mein, and Moo Goo Gai Pan. All these iconic dishes were Americanized versions of Cantonese foods. This book describes how this phenomenon took place and contains over 150 recipes so that you can replicate the dishes of The Golden Hour Restaurant.

The Golden Hour is representative of these historic restaurants which not only prospered in large cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Dallas, but also in small towns like Turlock, where The Golden Hour was located in California’s agricultural Central Valley. These old Americanized Chinese restaurants have largely been replaced by more authentic Chinese cuisines. These older dishes and restaurants are on the verge of extinction as the subsequent generations growing up in these restaurants sought other professions. This book presents the culture, stories, and the recipes of this phenomenon.

The Gospel According to Me II

The author’s exploration uncovers writings about the remarkable ingenuity and creativity of God, who devised a means to disclose Himself to humankind. For despite extensive searching, the author found no rational alternative explanations. Moreover, prevailing concepts contradict scientific knowledge and lived experience – matter is not perpetual, and inanimate systems cannot create conscious beings capable of appreciation and intentionality.

So who then instilled consciousness, if not a Grand Designer? Seeking this elusive truth proves challenging indeed. Yet God simplified humanity’s hunt by establishing contact and even entering our world in person. To prepare people for His arrival, prophecies circulated foretelling the extraordinary events to come.

And upon appearing among us, God asked of us only one thing: “Constantly seek the truth. Do not let blinders be put on your eyes. And remember that you will not find the truth without love.”
