Valerie Stevens Rhodes’s Newly Released “Job’s Wives” is a Richly Detailed Historical Fiction That Takes Readers on a Journey of Loss and Restoration


Overland Park, KS, May 18, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Job’s Wives”: a reflective novel that brings heart and reality to the familiar story of Job. “Job’s Wives” is the creation of published author Valerie Stevens Rhodes, a proud mother of two adult daughters, a dedicated wife, and the owner of Christian Grief Counseling, LLC. She earned her BA in Management of Human Resources, is a member of the Grief Support Network in Kansas City, and a trained member of a FEMA Community Emergency Response Team.

Stevens Rhodes shares, “Job’s Wives is for all who have endured and survived intense suffering and wondered why.

“The fictional stories of Job’s distinctive family incorporate happy times demonstrating their love for each other contrasted against disaster, grief, loss, dying, and death. We mourn with them in their losses but hold our breath when anticipating their return to normalcy as we long for and expect recovery, redemption, and restoration.

“Once a wealthy king of Edom, Job suffered in every way imaginable. He lost everything, including his health. He and his first wife faced the immeasurable challenge of the heartbreaking sudden deaths of their ten children. Learn the tragic truth of her fate.

“We grieve for her when we contemplate her unfathomable dilemma and achieve empathy as we lament alongside her, gaining compassionate understanding. As we commiserate with her, we learn to recognize and consider other people’s grief responses and entertain awareness of our own.

“Then we meet Job’s second wife and his second set of ten children. Examine a plausible scenario for how the biblical book of Job was preserved and what may have happened to him from a distinctive perspective through the viewpoint of his brother and his grieving wives.

“All of society is seeking a hero, someone with answers who will help us cope with and provide potential meaning to our private losses. We search for examples to inspire us to maintain our integrity as we struggle to rise above perilous damages to our individual lives.

“Job’s Wives offers companionship to anyone who is struggling with extreme loss and adversity. This epic saga provides a way to personally identify with tragic loss and glean empathy for self and others while discovering techniques to cope with intense losses while gaining hope for restoration.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Valerie Stevens Rhodes’s new book offers a message of hope and God’s comfort.

Glen E. Spaugh, City Manager of Gordon, Nebraska shares, “Intriguing, heartbreaking, informative, and realistic. More than a novel, Job’s Wives is a true reflection of the journey through grief and the reality for those who are left with the remnants of life when others have died. We are shown internal sufferings from external circumstances and the weight of the pain and sorrow that may be felt. The author truly displays her background in grief counseling by covering the tragedy of loss and how we react, then revealing the wonder of healing in an excellent illustration of restoration.”

Consumers can purchase “Job’s Wives” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.

The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.

After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."

The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."

Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. — a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.

The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.

Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins — courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.

The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.

The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.
