Irmgarde Brown talks about her novel: Sister Jane - 492

Wednesday Aug 03, 2022

Irmgarde Brown talks about her novel: Sister Jane. This is episode 492 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Irmgarde Brown knows a good book when she sees one. For 28 years she had stacked shelves as a librarian. She also recognizes a good theatrical story, having written, produced, and acted in a one-woman play that toured for two years.

Now she has broken into book publishing with a character-driven, plot-twisting novel that examines how society reacts to people who make major life changes and discover their true talents later in life. It also explores whether we really believe in miracles or if social media, the government, community, and the news media would distort whatever the truth really is.

A little bit about her book Sister Jane…

All her life, Jane believes she is small-town ordinary. . . until she isn't. Some people brand her a witch, while others believe she has a demon. Her family thinks she's ready for the nursing home, and a down-and-out news reporter assumes she's a fake. But nobody, including Jane, can figure out how she does it: heal the sick. All the sick. All the time. Is it a gift of God? The Church is divided. Then, everything erupts when the foreigners arrive along with members of the government and the scientists. Will Jane become a pawn or save herself?

Great read! great talk!

Thanks for listening.

Tuesday Jul 12, 2022

Christine Marie Eberle discusses her latest book Finding God Abiding. This is episode 490 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Christine Marie Eberle passionately connects spirituality, Scripture, and everyday life. After the 2018 publication of her first book, Finding God in Ordinary Time, Christine concluded her 26-year career as a college campus minister to devote her time to writing, public speaking, and retreat facilitation.

In person and on the page, she resists pious platitudes while inviting us to encounter a God who has infinite compassion for people in pain. With a contemporary voice that is warm, accessible, and surprisingly funny, Christine offers spiritual nourishment to people skeptical or weary of religion, while still giving the faithful something to chew on. You can follow her at christine-marie-eberle.com.

Today, we will focus on her latest book Finding God Abiding.

Lots to learn.

Thanks for listening.

A brief summary…

In Gift of Diamonds, we are swept along with seventeen-year-old Mica as she is forced to flee Romania after the imprisonment of her parents by the Secret Police for inciting a demonstration against the dictatorial regime. Escaping with her father’s rare and possibly cursed diamonds, Mica travels in the middle of the night on bike to the Hungarian border. In her need to survive, she voyages along the often-treacherous road of self-discovery with her three lifelong friends, for they are the Four Musketeers. Books two and three, Love Odyssey, a historical romance, and Treasure Seekers, an international thriller, follow Mica’s fellow Musketeers as they take the main stage in their riveting stories of escape, terror, love, resistance, and survival. Their own journeys of self-discovery link the stand-alone books together in the trilogy.

Roberta Seret lives in New York City with her husband and their two sons.

Great conversation!
