Author Daniel Bryant’s New Book, “The Nature of Relationships,” Seeks to Reveal the Human & Divine Essence of Jesus Christ Through the Texts of the New Testament
Campbell, CA, February 15, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Daniel Bryant, who has been a Catholic all his life, has completed his new book, “The Nature of Relationships: A Question of Self, Other, God”: an examination of the New Testament that explores Jesus’s life and teachings in order to help guide readers to decisions about their faith in the Lord.
“Long before I was a disciple of Jesus, I knew I was in the presence of someone special,” writes Bryant. “It is funny to say that he is special because I know he said that same thing about everyone he met, even those who would ultimately cause his death. His relationship with everyone and everything he encountered made him appear to be unique. Jesus has been a lifelong friend, and I began to collect notes of our conversations and the events in his life. Other disciples have added to these stories. It is now a long time after his death. The crowds he attracted during his life have gone to their homes throughout the area. Since his Crucifixion, all that has been said has verified that he was special. When we would talk about Jesus and record his messages, it was easy to talk about the things he did, but it was much more difficult to convey his essence. Many believed he was God and others did not. Each person needs to decide for themselves, and in keeping this journal, I hope to give you the questions that will guide you to answer who he is for you if he is for you.”
Bryant continues, “Everyone is more than the messages that are written about them. Jesus is more than his message. To know him requires having a relationship with all that we encounter about him. Relationships are scary because they may change the parties entering into them. Jesus repeatedly counseled each of us ‘to be not afraid.’ As a disciple, I must invite you to the party. All of us who walk daily on this path are confident that God will find us in our search for truth. If you are among the seekers who do not believe in God, what will you have to lose, especially if a Creator finds you?”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Daniel Bryant’s new book is an enlightening read for those who seek to grow closer to Jesus and come to better know him through his Scriptures. Devout, lifelong followers of Christ and newcomers alike will discover an incredible depth of knowledge and understanding of the New Testament within Bryant’s writings, allowing them to better define their faith and relationship with the Lord.
Readers can purchase “The Nature of Relationships: A Question of Self, Other, God” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Rowlett, TX, November 16, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Texas Filmmaker’s “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles” Dominates the Festival Circuit With 100+ Awards — Filmed Entirely in Rowlett and Garland.
Thrilling new web series explores the dark side of digital obsession and online surveillance — a modern psychological suspense story gripping audiences worldwide.
Independent filmmaker and Rowlett resident Harry Keane and his team are capturing the attention of audiences and critics around the globe with his bold new suspense series, Cyber-Psycho Chronicles. Filmed entirely in Rowlett and Garland, Texas, the series has already earned over 100 awards in just 18 international film festivals, signaling a breakout success for both Keane and his Texas-based production company, GemStar Studios LLC.
Cyber-Psycho Chronicles tells the unsettling story of a tech-savvy predator who weaponizes the internet to stalk his victims. The series’ chilling realism taps into society’s growing fear of privacy invasion and online vulnerability — a theme resonating deeply with today’s digital generation.
Texarkana actor Kevin Williams delivers a haunting performance as the title character, while Cortina Jackson stars as Detective Waters and Mathieu Caviness plays FBI Agent Mendez, both desperate to track down the elusive killer. Actress Samantha Makley portrays Lily, one of the stalker’s unsuspecting targets whose life becomes a terrifying descent into paranoia and fear.
Series Tagline: He’s Always Watching. He’s Always There. He Sees You Online. Beware of the Unknown. Who Can You Trust? It’s Already Too Late.
The project’s first episode, already making waves across international festivals, serves as a teaser pilot designed to attract platform partners and distributors for the full series release. A premiere date and streaming announcement are expected in the coming months.
“We wanted to craft a story that reflects the fears of our connected world — where identity, privacy, and obsession collide,” said Keane. “Cyber-Psycho Chronicles isn’t just entertainment. It’s a wake-up call about how far we’ve let technology into our lives.”
With its blend of psychological tension, real-world relevance, and striking Texas cinematography, Cyber-Psycho Chronicles stands as a gripping indie triumph — proving that powerful storytelling can come from unexpected places.
