Authorial Magazine - Manila Edition

The Manila International Book Fair is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The book fair, one of the biggest, most prestigious, and longest running events in the Philippines, is a great avenue amongst professionals in the publishing and academic world to collaborate and exchange ideas. It’s our first time to participate in this event and rally with literary giants and emerging voices from the world of books. In this issue, we start off with Virginia Paulette C. Hammack, author of the books The Hiding Place and Whisperings in the Wings. Hammack talks about her life, her two books, and her struggles as a writer. We also talked to Raju Ramanathan, world renowned enlightenment guru and author of Souls from Mercury. Ramanathan shares what inspired him to write and offers advice to aspiring authors. We still receive and get tons of contributions from talented and renowned writers, and in this issue, we’re featuring the works of Adriana Pernetz, Ted Torgersen, Donald Ray Schwartz, Gary Alan Rothhaar, Ivor Kovac, Diane Davies, and Elizabeth Len Wai. Lastly, beautiful spots and fascinating experiences await beyond the bright lights of the city when you read “The Charming City of Manila,” in our lifestyle section. We all love stories that resonate with our own, especially those that bring us to greater heights in mood and in thought. We hope you’ll enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed piecing it together.

by Gloria Winkels<br />

Dr. David Cooper, Lead Pastor, Mount Paran Church<br />

It is with great excitement that I recommend Your Opportunity for a<br />

Better Life. Applying the wisdom found in this book’s pages will help<br />

you change your life! Thank you, Jeff, for giving us hope, help, and<br />

Dr. Benny Tate, Senior Pastor, Rock Springs Church<br />

Twists & Turns is the story of my life. It begins with my birth.<br />

I was taken away from my mother when I was almost three<br />

years old and was put into a foster home. I was almost five years<br />

old when a loving family adopted me. They gave me a good<br />

foundation in life, and they taught me that God is love. My life<br />

has been filled with many experiences, both tragic and happy. I<br />

invite you to come along with me on my journey, and I will tell<br />

you about my adventures and how I was able to cope because of<br />

my strong faith. My hope is that my story will be an inspiration<br />

for others.<br />
