Ada Brownell February newsletter:
“I loved The
Lady Fugitive. I read it in two days. It made me laugh. I couldn’t wait until
the end. It was so much fun!”
The reader was my
sister. I gave her the book because she
needed an uplift—something to distract her from the excruciating constant pain
she suffers from her back, a hip she’s broken twice, and a leg that shingles
damaged down into the nerves. She also
has congestive heart failure. What a pleasure to gift her with a squeaky clean
book filled with suspense, interesting characters, humor, romance and spiritual
encouragement.
Not all
books labeled “Christian” give the reader an uplift. Do you, a friend or
relative need to escape from your problems for a while, laugh, and be
spiritually encouraged? William’s favorite song is “The Ninety and Nine” that
uses the scripture about the one lost sheep God will leave the flock for in
order to find and save the one that is lost. Jenny, the fugitive in the book,
needs assurance God is concerned about her. She escapes lots of trouble and
finally finds that confidence.
I write to bless others. My brand is
“Stick to Your Soul Encouragement.” Swallowed
by Life is an Amazon bestseller and many have been blessed by it. My books
are written to increase faith, and Imagine
the Future You will do that as well as motivate toward success. Readers love the novel The Castle and the Catapult, and are
inspired by Confessions of a Pentecostal.
The Lady Fugitive has
more than 30 reviews on Amazon. You can read a sample chapter or purchase it here
Swallowed
by Life: Mysteries of Death, Resurrection and the Eternal, an Amazon best seller, draws on the author’s experience as a
medical reporter and years of biblical study. It is written for support groups,
religion classes, people with chronic or terminal illness, individuals who fear
death or are curious about it, the grieving and those who give them counsel.

Imagine
the Future You, e-book, is on sale for .99. It’s a Bible study to help youth (and
parents or grandparents so they can teach) discover evidences for faith; how to

love and marriage; choosing a career; how to deposit good things into the brain you can spend; and how to avoid hazards
that jeopardize a successful life on earth and for eternity. All this is
mingled with true stories that can make readers smile. Check it out and order here
Imagine the Future You also is
available in audio and is free with an www.audible.com
trial membership; or $1.99 with purchase of the Kindle or paperback
versions of Imagine the Future You.
Review of Imagine
the Future You: How I would have loved to
sit at Mrs. Brownell's knee when I was a teen. This wholesome book resounds
with sage, godly advice and could be picked up again and again as needs arise.
Worthwhile for parents too. Much fodder for family discussion!
See a sample and order here
Joe the Dreamer: The Castle and
the Catapult is a
teen novel also enjoyed by adults. Enter
an area where people are missing and radicals want to obliterate Christianity
from the earth. Joe Baker’s parents also disappeared and he finds himself with
someone after him. No fantasy. No wizard, but suspense. Christian payload.
Reviewer: “A.B. Brownell weaves a tale of intrigue and faith which captures the reader
from the opening page.”
Get The Castle and The
Catapult here
Confessions of a Pentecostal is a glimpse inside
another person’s faith as the author tells about her family’s conversions one
by one and her own spiritual journey. This book is especially enjoyed by older Pentecostal Christians.
It was listed many years on The Library Thing among most popular books on
Pentecostalism. Because it is out of print, Confessions of a Pentecostal in
paperback is only available from the author, but e-books are sold on Amazon. HERE
All the
books except Confessions of a Pentecostal are also available in paperback on
Amazon and some bookstores..
Some
titles in paperback are available at BarnesandNoble.com and probably could be
ordered from the stores. My publisher tells me The Lady Fugitive should be in bookstores everywhere soon and should
be available at Barnes and Noble now.

RECIPE: STRAWBERRY FLUFF FROSTING
I’ve had this recipe for years and I
don’t remember eating it anywhere but my house. I think I got it out of a
Pillsbury booklet. The frosting is one of my favorites. Use it on a purchased
angel-food cake or one you make from a mix. This will cover an 8x8 cake. Double
it for the large cake.
1 egg white, unbeaten
½ cup sugar
Dash of salt
2/3 cup sliced strawberries
Combine egg white, sugar, salt and 1/3 cup strawberries in the top of double
boiler. Use rotary beater to mix.
Place over rapidly boiling water. Beat
with electric mixer for four minutes or until mixture stands in peaks. Remove
from boiling water. Fold in remaining strawberries.
