Brad Reed’s Newly Released “Preacher’s Proverbs: Wisdom Taught and Caught in My Life” is an Encouraging Pastoral Resource

[ad_1]

Lebanon, MO, April 11, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Preacher’s Proverbs: Wisdom Taught and Caught in My Life”: an empowering resource for anyone seeking to be successful within the ministry. “Preacher’s Proverbs: Wisdom Taught and Caught in My Life” is the creation of published author, Brad Reed, who was born and raised in Southwest Missouri. He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior in a little Pentecostal church in Lebanon, Missouri, in 1984. He was married to his beautiful wife, Joleen, later that same year. They have four married children and, at this time, eight grandchildren. He accepted the call to preach in the fall of 1987 and began his first pastorate in 1989. The Reeds have always been involved in ministry, pastoring four churches in southern Missouri and serving as the district youth director for the Pentecostal Church of God, with whom he is ordained through. The Reeds planted Faith Pentecostal Ministries in 2000 and have been there for twenty-two years.

Reed shares, “’Go into the ministry,’ they said. ‘It will be fun,’ they said. Ministry is not always fun, but it is rarely boring. Many a young minister has begun only to think later, What am I doing here? Thankfully, there have been older, more experienced ministers that have shared their wit and wisdom along the way. Some were trying to encourage, while others were trying to keep me on track. Now, after nearly forty years in pastoral ministry, I have put some of those bits of wisdom together in this book. My hope and prayers are that you will receive the same encouragement and direction that I did through the years. I hope that you can find a comfortable place to sit and meet with me as we share about what we are learning through this high calling and great adventure called the ministry.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Brad Reed’s new book will challenge readers in their pursuit of developing key skills and learning to trust in their calling.

Reed shares from over four decades of dedicated faith and committed leadership in hope of bringing encouragement and positive guidance to upcoming leaders.

Consumers can purchase “Preacher’s Proverbs: Wisdom Taught and Caught in My Life” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Scottsdale Author Joe Reina’s New Novel Follows a Killer Who Gets Away With It

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Shadows over Scottsdale: An Unsolved Murder Mystery," built around a scenario true-crime statistics make uncomfortably familiar: a man commits a devastating crime and simply disappears, leaving investigators and a grieving community with no resolution.

The book follows a character named Robert, who flees the country using forged documents and a cargo ship after an act of destruction that leaves behind, as the publisher describes it, charred remains and an unanswered investigation. The case goes cold. The novel, according to its publisher, is less concerned with the mechanics of the escape than with what happens afterward, to the people left waiting for answers that never come.

Reina, now retired in Scottsdale, spent decades in international business across apparel, footwear, and real estate, with extensive time in Europe and a particular connection to Italy that shaped two earlier books, "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen" and "A Love Affair in Tuscany." "Shadows over Scottsdale" marks a different direction, built instead around the real scale of unsolved homicide in the U.S. The publisher’s materials cite roughly 346,000 unsolved homicides since 1965, with more than a dozen occurring unresolved each day. Separate reporting on the book has cited a figure of about 7,778 murders in 2023 alone, which it similarly frames as more than a dozen a day going unresolved.

"Writing ‘Shadows over Scottsdale’ forced me to confront uncomfortable questions about justice itself," Reina said, according to the announcement. "Too many crimes go unsolved, too many families wait endlessly for answers. I wanted readers to understand that behind every cold case statistic is a real story, real suffering, and real questions that may never be answered."

The publisher positions the novel as an examination of institutional limits as much as a crime story: the toll of a case gone cold on the people who can’t move past it, and what it means for a community when accountability simply never arrives.

"Shadows over Scottsdale" is published by Covenant Books and is available in paperback and hardcover through the publisher’s website and major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books.

Cold-case statistics tend to get cited and then forgotten. Studio CarryOnHarry is curious whether fiction built directly around that number does more to stick with a reader than the number alone ever does.

Joe Reina’s ‘Lost Masterpieces’ Imagines a Fictional Farewell Among Renaissance Painters

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Joe Reina has published a new novel, "Lost Masterpieces: Three Paintings, 500 Years A Journey Through Time," built around an imagined scene from Renaissance history: the night before Leonardo da Vinci leaves for Milan, when three fellow painters each hand him a small work carrying a private message.

According to the announcement, those three gifts come from Sandro Botticelli, Titian, and Andrea Mantegna, each painting standing in for a different kind of counsel. Botticelli’s piece is described as layered with allegory and coded warnings about power and patronage. Titian’s is framed as warm and sensual, suggesting reinvention and a break from convention. Mantegna’s is austere and classically precise, encoding discipline and endurance. According to the announcement, these three paintings form a wordless exchange between masters, transmitting wisdom, mutual regard, and assurance across generations through visual means.

Reina comes to this material from outside the art world. His career was built in apparel, footwear, and real estate development in Chicago, and the publisher’s materials trace his interest in European history, and in Italy specifically, to years of international business travel. He has published several previous books, including "The Goat Sleeps in the Kitchen," "A Love Affair in Tuscany," and "Shadows over Scottsdale," before turning to this account of a fictionalized moment at the hinge of the Renaissance.

"I wanted to capture that extraordinary moment when masters speak to each other across time through their work," Reina said in the announcement. "These paintings represent not just gifts, but a conversation about what it means to pursue greatness while remaining grounded in purpose and principle."

The book is published through Covenant Books and is available in hardcover and paperback, as well as through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry is intrigued by novels that build fiction around real historical figures at a specific, dramatized turning point rather than attempting straight biography — the approach succeeds or fails based on how seamlessly the fictional moment integrates with documented historical fact.
