The Special Little Star
0$3.99 – $9.99“Twinkle, twinkle, little star . . .”
Look up into the sky at night. Way up in the heavens, stars shine brightly down upon you. Some are large, glistening spots, but others are small twinkling specks. The Special Little Star is a tale of one of those stars. He is a small star with big dreams. He dreams of being like the other, larger stars, of no longer being teased because he doesn’t shine as brightly. When joy and happiness enter the world in the form of a tiny baby boy, this special star may just get his wish. Tracy Filigenzi gives a new angle to the Christmas story. The Special Little Star tells the story of the Christmas star, the brightly shining star that led the Wise Men to Bethlehem and then to baby Jesus. Children will read this heartwarming tale again and again.
The Sound of Animals
1$3.99 – $14.99This story was inspired by spending quality time with my grandchildren. It was written in a way to explore the sounds that animals make through the eyes of a little boy. I feel it is important that children understand that people and animals are very complex. In fact, they are so complex that it is impossible that they could have been created only by chance. Only God the Creator could have thought of every intricate detail that makes us who we are. This story is a good way to open the discussion with your child about how God created everything differently. Now every creature is unique in its own special way. I hope you have fun reading this with your children.

Witness
0$8.99In 2013, I wrote and published a book titled “You Have Got to Be Kidding.” in which I cataloged numerous life events that I believed to be the results of an amazing series of “good luck”. Some of these events were actually life-threatening, which I obviously survived. Example: Two of the best things that occurred in my life happened on the same day in 1961. I did not know it at the time but on that day, I joined the Marine Corps and met my future wife. That was the beginning of a seemingly endless series of events that I attributed to luck, fortune, or fate. I finally realized in 2022 that these events were in reality, instances of Divine Intercession or Intervention. I list the events chronologically and then ask the reader to decide if it was good luck or Godly Influence. I finally began to understand Christianity and am, as I say, A. Believer.

1393 Pacific Street: Can You Take It? My Memoir in Early Ministry to Assist All Who Have Been Called into the Ministry of Jesus Christ
0$3.99 – $10.991393 Pacific St.: Can you take it? Is a book designed to encourage and help primarily all ministers and congregants in the Christian faith with examples of triumph, disappointments, victories, and struggles in ministry. My experience has been that there are not too many who have had a mentor or guide to lead them in the different aspects of what it takes to minister to the sheepfold of God. There aren’t too many who’ve been encouraged by an elder in the ministry to “press their way”. So, what I’ve attempted to do is just that: provide some examples and answers on how to persevere and overcome. I pray that what you’ve read encourages your heart as you partner with Christ in your ministry.
