Author Dorothy Angkahan’s New Book, “God’s Divine Teachings,” is a Scripture-Based Exploration of Biblical Teachings Regarding Creation, the Origins of Evil, and More


Eugene, OR, March 29, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Dorothy Angkahan, a devout Christian and mother of three grown sons who raised her family in her rural hometown of Delano, California and felt called to write after the death of her husband of nearly fifty years, has completed her new book, “God’s Divine Teachings”: a thought-provoking work inspired by a desire to write about the wisdom, insight, and uplifting messages found in the Bible.

The author writes, “The reality is, few believers have the time to search God’s truths in the Bible, with its array of subjects (teachings). Therefore, handbooks on God’s divine truths (Scripture) from the Bible are useful tools to do away with the tedious work—searching through the pages for specific teachings in the Bible. But a word of caution, handbooks are not written with the intend to deter one from studying one’s own Bible, but to use as a tool (reference) alongside one’s Bible—as one seeks God’s truths in the Scriptures with the Holy Spirit’s help (Jo. 14:26) and using spiritual discernment to study God’s word ( 1Cor. 2:14; 2Tim. 3:16). This book also serves the same purpose, a reference tool, to help those who want easier access to specific teachings in the Bible. For example, and presented in this book, the origin of evil is in the Bible, yet it can be time-consuming to search through the Bible for the teachings on the origin of evil if one has limited time on hand. In this book, one will find a useful commentary, written in layman’s terms that will give a step-by-step approach on the teaching on the origin of evil from the Bible—What is evil’s origin? And why does evil exist?— As well as the other teachings from the Bible presented in this book. The truth is when a repented sinner is saved through the Lord Jesus Christ (Jo. 3:16, 17), God’s intentions for His children (in Christ) is to become knowledgeable on His divine teachings in the Bible. Yet there are those who are not familiar with the divine teachings in the Bible and may believe it isn’t necessary to study God’s truths (Scripture), as long as one is saved (Jo. 3:16, 17; Ro. 10:9, 10; 2 Tim. 1:9, 10). But that isn’t so, according to the Bible, for example, if a believer is going to carry his cross to follow Jesus (Mt. 10:38), then he needs to understand what he is up against—his spiritual warfare against evil spirits in the world (Eph. 6:12) in order to remain steadfast in the faith and overcome the day of evil, when forced upon him (Eph. 6:13). And according to the Scriptures, one needs to know God (Jo. 17:3) in order for one to know His will for a believer’s life; and the only way to know the true God is with the Holy Spirit’s help (Jo. 14:26), and this is also taught in the Bible—the importance of the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures in a believer’s life (Gal. 5:25; 2Tim. 3:16). And if a believer is to follow Jesus Christ’s example here on earth, then he needs to learn what the Scriptures teach about the Son of God, Jesus Christ (1 Pe. 2: 21). In fact, the more knowledge one gets studying about the teachings on God and His specific attributes (love, mercy, justice, etc.) and His other divine truths on prayer, faith, works, and stewardship (Phil. 4:6; Jas. 2:14–26; 1 Pe. 4:10) etc. in the Bible, one may become better equipped, with the Holy Spirit’s help and God’s word, to face the challenges in life, through the Lord Jesus Christ. May God’s truths from the Bible, presented in this book, enrich and enlighten one’s life today and onward for God’s glory. As for all interpretations of God’s word in any book, including this one, please carefully compare with the Scriptures (2 Tim. 3:16) and use spiritual discernment (1 Cor. 2:14) with the Holy Spiritual help, then one will not be misguided but enlighten to understand God’s divine teachings from the Holy Scriptures. May one seek wisdom from God today (Jas. 1:5–7).”

Nashville Lavender Pioneer Gigi de Lugo Secures Majority Ownership of Permanent Farm in Joelton, Tennessee

Harry Johal

Published

on


Nashville, TN, November 20, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– A fourth-generation U.S. Virgin Islander who has called Nashville home since 1993, de Lugo transitioned from an award-winning career in music publishing and feature film producing, with Platinum and Gold Albums, Arista Records A-Team Award, BMI #1 and more, to lavender farming in 2018. Focusing exclusively on Peace Tree Farm’s trademarked, heat- and humidity-tolerant hybrids—Lavender Phenomenal®, Sensational!®, and Exceptional!®—she has proven these cultivars are the definitive choice for Southern growers.

Lloyd Traven, President of Peace Tree Farm, the original breeder of these global-standard varieties, praises de Lugo’s early foresight and influence:

“Over a period of the last decade, Gigi has been highlighting our introductions that have become the Gold Standard for lavender worldwide, and she was an early proponent because she saw the extra value of these introductions… Once she knew the plants were different and far superior, she committed to making the right choice for her customers. She can now proudly say that she has started over 30 new farms on their journey across an area ranging from Virginia through to Iowa!”

From its original rented fields in Whites Creek—Gigi’s Lavender, was celebrated by “Garden & Gun” magazine as one of the South’s top lavender destinations—the licensed nursery has supplied thousands of Peace Tree-bred plants throughout Tennessee and beyond. In 2019, de Lugo founded “The Lavender Exchange (TLx),” an exclusive membership alliance offering ongoing technical support, resource sharing, cooperative marketing, and agritourism promotion to farms that source their plants exclusively from Gigi’s Nursery.

Traven also highlights the impact of this network: “Gigi also knows the great importance and value of marketing with expression of clear benefits and a clear message. She created the Lavender Exchange with this in mind—to provide an outlet for cooperative marketing and sharing of equipment and machinery and product ideas.”

This strengthened ownership ensures continuity for de Lugo’s research, educational outreach, and product innovation at the Joelton location, including her newest Patent Pending offering, “ZWave Mg”—a topical magnesium spray infused with pure Phenomenal lavender hydrosol steam-distilled exclusively from flowers grown by TLx member farms. Designed for relaxation, muscle relief, and better sleep, ZWave Mg showcases the wellness potential of Southern-grown lavender.

“This milestone gives us the stability and security to continue investing in our Southern lavender research, development, product distribution, and growing community of the farms we support through The Lavender Exchange (TLx),” said Gigi de Lugo. “From the beginning I set out to prove lavender could become a viable cash crop for Tennessee and Southern farms—not only a pretty agritourism field, but a real harvestable commodity built on Phenomenal®. It took courageous pioneers willing to bet on the unproven and stay the course with me. These years, alongside the extraordinary farmers of our TLx family, have been one of the greatest adventures of my life.”

Experience the pure essence of Southern lavender: Gigi’s premium products, including the breakthrough ZWave Mg, are available exclusively through her website, and retail partners across Tennessee. Gigi is in discussion with a Nashville based manufacturer to expand her ZWave Mg production capacity for 2026.

About Gigi’s Lavender Nursery & Farm
Gigi’s Lavender Nursery & Farm is a Tennessee-licensed grower and an exclusive Southeast source for Peace Tree Farm’s Phenomenal®, Sensational!®, Exceptional!®, Inspirational!® lavender cultivars. It serves as headquarters for The Lavender Exchange (TLx), a premier network advancing lavender agriculture and agritourism across the South and Midwest.
