New Day Has Another Author!
Get more information about FireDance, a compelling tale about forgiveness, by Joseph Padgal, at www.newdaycommunity.org/author , or contact Bill Padgham for a personal introduction to the author himself!

Another New Day Author!

New Day now has another published author!

Don’t think forgiveness is a big issue with God? Then you need to read FireDance by Joseph Padgal. The following editorial comment is from Amazon.com.

FireDance is an engaging testament to the impact, healing, and redemption available to those who forgive, even when it comes to the sensitive issues of sexual abuse. In his first novel, Joseph Padgal, intuitively weaves the story with a compelling tapestry of threads from family generational issues, forgiveness, sexual abuse and the redemptive love of God. Written to offer hope and achievable steps toward healing, Padgal provides a clear understanding of how important forgiveness is and how essential it is in the healing process.

You can purchase his book on www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. Also, when you get the book and read it, please go back to the website you bought it on and rate the book. If you would like a copy from the author himself just ask Bill Padgham–he will personally introduce you!


For another amazing New Day author, check out Stephanie Jones, who wrote the amazing book “The Upside Down Kingdom.” Check it out on Amazon.com!
