Freshwater

Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.

Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...

The Spindle's Touch by Dorian Tsukioka

 I had read other books in this series, but for some reason I hadn't quite picked up The Spindle's Touch. It's available at Amazon in paperback or Kindle.



Once Touched by the Sleeping Beauty Curse...
...The Spindle Steals Your Soul!


Princess Anna of Kyiv doesn’t believe in the Sleeping Beauty curse, or the Spindle: the evil spirit fated to steal her soul, causing her death on her eighteenth birthday. It’s just a fairy tale -- a silly superstition to explain away the fates of first-born princesses in her family line. Yet, something hunts her from the darkness, whether she believes in it or not.


Brandr, a Varangian prince from the north, has his own demons to contend with. While trying to prove his worth as a warrior on his father’s quest, Zirnitra, the dragon demon, haunts his dreams, reminding him of the blood on his hands and the sins he’s trying to hide. But there is no escape from his guilt and the demon’s continual torment. 


Fates intertwine, and the lives of future generations hang in the balance when Anna and Brandr fight for their souls against Zirnirta and the demons of Darkness.


Set in medieval Ukraine and Byzantium, The Spindle’s Touch is a faith-based tale of sin and redemption, Darkness and Light. You’ll love this historical retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story because it turns the classic tale on its head -- no one is who they seem to be. 


This is the fourth stand-alone novel in the Fairy Tales Through Time series.
