Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
My faith story:
I wrote my faith story in my first book titled, The Apple You Were Fed. I was raised in church but walked away at the age of 18. I then spent the next 15 years trying to do life on my own until I had a spiritual breakdown that lead me to truth. During those 15 years, I became very defensive towards God and was a well touted agnostic/athiest. Comming back to Christ has been life changing and my hope is to share His loving message with whomever will listen.
Do you wonder why you can't change? Do you struggle with meaning in your life? Do you pray and struggle and seem to get no-where? Visit my website at www.theappleyouwerefed.com to learn how I overcame these negative tendencies to a boundless life of joy.
Overview:
New spiritual “Apple” Book: Not your grandmother’s religion!
Authors and Book are Guaranteed to Serve up some Discussion
THE APPLE YOU WERE FED is based on authors, Kimberly Lisowski and Andrea Pouliot’s, literally hundreds of hours of research into the short comings of two trusted belief systems: psychology and Christianity, as well as their own personal experiences within the church – one leaving unimpressed, one staying to run a mini PR campaign for God.
When agnostic liberal, Kimberly, moved in across the street from conservative Christian, Andrea, no-one expected a friendship, especially a friendship that would lead them to uncover the deepest secrets of their lives. Together with verbal shovels and buckets of coffee, they fought past their usual demeanors seeking a deeper understanding of life and God. Who was He? Why did His message seem so hard to live out? What they unearthed was not expected or planned. The universal lie they uncovered changed their perspectives of God’s love, and thus brought meaning back into their stagnant lives. This universal lie, the power of the whole Message to transform lives, and what the church and its’ people do to hold it back is told through the private and sometimes controversial conversations of two women who should have never been friends.

Wow! My co-author and I have been bombarded with emails asking us about our similarities to A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I'm not even half way through reading my copy yet - neither of us are, but it is a little strange to find such a connection between books. It causes mixed feelings - if we're honest. From day 1 we knew The Apple Concept was something that could change people's lives. It is the Truth presented in a very practical and honest display from a Christian perspective. We attempt to show the gospel message is only fully understood by unearthing the lie of not enough from our mindset and then living authentically in who we were created to be- our real God created self. Jesus came to give life and have it to the full, so whole people, who understand they are enough, can fully spill that love over into others without the lie permeating their "needy" behaviors of: gossip, pride, prejudice, judgment, intolerance, hate, dominance… The truth being shared is remarkably and staggeringly comparable, yet The Apple You Were Fed is a Christian interpretation, and we are thrilled to share a message of authenticity, hope, and peace in connection with Jesus. Perhaps The Apple You Were Fed can feed those who want to maintain and strengthen that connection, and reintroduce these concepts in Christian terms. Maybe there are enough differences in presentation and style (Tolle teaches, we share) that readers will enjoy, and ultimately come closer to God, through both books. At the end of the day, we will be sharing this colorful planet and the Creator who so artfully designed it. Peace, grace, love, and hope... Let's come together! www.theappleyouwerefed.com |

We have the song 2am on our website and myspace because the words are so true to our experiences in writing the book. She sings...2am and I'm still awake writing this song. If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to. Well, I feel like I'm naked in front of a crowd, but these words are my diary screaming out loud and I know that you'll use them however you want to...How true that really is for all of us. When we decide to really be ourselves, show our authentic lives to the world in an effort to simply be real - for once- a few people will try to push us back. To some, stepping out and being real is so frightening that even being around the kind of person who can is intimidating, even when we just want to relate, be their friend, share life with them. Expect that your new way of life will not be easy for some of the people who you may have thought were your friends or close family. Be ready for the people who want to shame you, blame you, or somehow make themselves the victim of your aliveness. It hurts most when it's those very people, friends-neighbors-family, whom you've only wanted to love and have a relationship with. Sometimes the hurt comes from the almost-palpable, deliberate silence. But then the phone rings, an email is sent, you run into someone who you haven't seen in awhile, and they confirm all you've done to change was worth it. All the words you've spoken, or written, or sung, were worth the effort. Some people will use your spiritual freedom against you, but most...thank God, the very more often thing is that people will support, relate, and join in the journey. How great it has been to get those calls, to meet people from all walks of life, to share this great bounty of life with. We have so much to be thankful for, so much to be appreciative in, and through it all, so much more we want to give back. We are in awe of the great people in our lives everyday, the people who have stepped up and cheered us on, and I am continually inspired to press forward in the Truth of who I am. Sometimes, we just have to let it go...the past, the shame, the anger. Let it go and live. Choose love. Choose forgiveness. Choose to see the best in others - look for their light within. Sometimes, being naked in front of the crowd screaming out loud is the best way to let it go. It was for us. If it is for you, we'll be there to cheer you on, too. |
