Elijah Hael & The Last Judgement considers issues that pertain to eternity, salvation and the spiritual realm. Elijah was a man like many others; there were childhood traumas and dreams that led him on a path to becoming “comfortably numb” with the circumstances that life offered. Feeling empty and having a lack of peace, Elijah discovers that God was always there, even when he turned away. Discover the truth and reality of salvation, forgiveness and life with happiness and joy that is not derived from worldly possessions. There is an inner peace that can only be found through Jesus Christ, as the author presents Elijah to the reader. Discover why, “I was a good person,” is an excuse that many will use at the Last Judgment. Challenging and provocative, this book offers the readers to come up higher in a most amazing way.

Author Steve Goodwin writes with conviction and creativity. He is a computer programmer and videogame producer who understands that a good plot must have a “good story.” His compelling writing-style focuses on foundational Christian values such as: faith, salvation, forgiveness, trust, love, relationships and the Bible. Offering a new adventurous twist, the author has labored with this novel as an endeavor to reveal to others that there is peace, love and forgiveness to be found through Jesus Christ.

Refreshing and inspiring, this novel offers a fun, high-paced adventurous read that will leave the reader wanting to know what happens next. Well-written and highly engaging, this book is a must for those that consider happenstance just as a coincidence of life-perhaps there is much more to life that we cannot see…this challenges the reader to consider the reality of eternity, salvation and the spiritual realm. A highly entertaining read that would make a wonderful gift to those that are looking for something more in life-they might find life and truth in Jesus Christ through this amazing novel.

New Year

A new year lasts for just a second transforming into the current year.  Live each second to its fullest for in a fleeting moment it’s gone.

Thank you

First let me start by thanking all the people that have been kind enough to send me feedback on my novel “Elijah Hael & The Last Judgement”.  The response to my first novel has been better than I could have expected.  I believed it was always going to be a challenge to get people to read a novel from an “unknown author” so I’m constantly surprised when I receive feedback from people around the world saying they enjoyed the novel.  My novel is just one in amongst an ocean of choices for people.  It’s a privilege for me when someone reads my novel and I’m very thankful to those that take the time to read it.

In response to the feedback I thought I would put together a quick blog entry on how the new book is coming along.

The second book involving Elijah Hael is well underway.  The novel revolves around two new characters, Nya and Isaac.  Nya works for ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) as a Cryptologist and Isaac is her boyfriend.  Nya, over the last decade has been working on a software system which, to her surprise and that of others, quickly ends up being something she wished she had never started.  It attracts the attention of some undesirables that puts her and Isaac in mortal danger thus beginning the adventure.

Castiel and Sophia make a return along with Elijah who plays a major role.  Nemamiah and Araton also appear along with Frank who plays a much more active role this time around. 

The novel tackles questions such as Does God heal? Why doesn’t God heal everyone? Why do people suffer and several other thought provoking experiences for the characters in the novel and hopefully the readers.

It’s much more action orientated than the first Novel while still providing deep character development and personal experiences.  It will not be necessary to have read Elijah Hael & The Last Judgement but it would be of benefit.  It will provides deeper background development in regards to knowing the existing characters by allowing the reader to experience what they have already been through.  It also provides further exploration of places like Elysium.  While Elysium is in the second novel the reader will experience some existing and new locations within it.

Writing the second novel has been more of a challenge as I want to ensure that people who have experienced the first novel will enjoy the second as much if not more than the first.  The first novel created a benchmark, that as an author, I want to ensure the second novel exceeds.  That’s the difficult part.  The characters have history that I want to protect and continue on and further develop, but also develop them with what the readers would expect and enjoy.  There are a few twists and turns that will certainly surprise the reader and cause inner questions in their own mind.

For those in Australia, expect to experience some Australian places, history and landmarks in the story.

Well I have to get back to writing, will do a further update in the near future.  If you haven’t read Elijah Hael & The Last Judgement, grab a copy and give it a read or pick up the audible version and give it a listen from http://www.ElijahHael.com

Send An Angel

Becky Kelley - Send An Angel (Lyrics)

Just a girl
12 years old
Waiting for her life to unfold
Then her mama dies
She's gotta learn to be strong
Wonderin' how she'll get along
Could you send her an angel or two?
She's been dealt a rough hand,
and doesn't know what to do.
Oh no.....
Oh no....
Down the road
She's 17
Didn't know that life could be so mean
When the baby comes
The boyfriend, he leaves
As she grabs that new life,
She hits her knees
Send her an angel or two
She's been dealt a rough hand,
and doesn't know what to do.
Oh no.....
Oh no.....
Wrap your arms around her
Fill her soul with love
Let her feel the hope that
Comes from above
Send her an angel or two
She's been dealt a rough hand,
and doesn't know what to do.
Oh no....
Oh no.....
Just a girl
12 years old
Waitin' for her life to unfold.

If we live faithfully rather than fearfully our anxieties vanish

What do I mean by "If we live faithfully rather than fearfully our anxieties vanish." 

It's quite simple. Fear is the opposite of Faith. Where there is Faith there is no Fear. Where there is Fear there is no Faith.

Putting Faith first allows Fear to evaporate resulting in anxieties vanishing.

Holy Spirit

I was once asked “How do people know the Holy Spirit involves itself in the lives of people?”, I replied, “People can't see bacteria, or virus's, which science itself has only been able to see for a short time, but they know they are around from the symptoms and harm they cause. People can't typically physically see the Holy Spirit but they know it is around from the love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control it creates in and around those that accept it into their lives.” – Elijah Hael

Jesus

When people ask me, “Why do you speak so highly of Jesus”, I reply, “Wouldn’t you talk highly of the person that saved your life, and soul?” – Elijah Hael
