Nancy Petrey – författare

Habitation of Honey can be one of the means God uses to prepare the way of the Lord. As John the Baptist in the wilderness ate wild HONEY, he was growing strong in spirit for the day he would recognize the Messiah. He immersed himself in the Word of God, "honey" for his soul, so he could say "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." Just so, the Body of Christ should be preparing herself today, "eating the honey" of the Word of God, to be a herald like John the Baptist for the second coming of the Messiah May you grow strong in spirit by partaking of these biblical poems and songs.

Why should you care about the Jewish roots of Christianity?

Jesus was Jewish. Most of the Bible was written by Jews and in Hebrew. Most of the early Christian leaders were Jews. Even Paul, called the Apostle to the Gentiles, would visit the synagogue first and preach there, and he wrote with great passion about his hope for his own people. Many modern Christians have forgotten about their Jewish roots. They may not formally rip pieces out of their Bibles, but much like the early Christian heretic Marcion, they act as though these portions of scripture no longer apply. They don''t read them, study them, preach from them, or apply them. As a result, they often do not understand the New Testament correctly.

Nancy Petrey has a passion both for the Jewish people and for calling Christians to understand their Jewish roots. In the pages of this short book, you''ll get a taste of the way in which Christian history and belief has Jewish roots.

You''ll be blessed if you learn to recognize those roots.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they will see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven" (Matt. 5:16).

That is Nancy Petrey''s life verse, which provides the title for this, her sixth book.

Nancy is a recorded pianist, as well as serving as a church pianist. From age 5 to age 78, her life has been filled with music.

One of the major ways she has let her light shine for Jesus is through music, but there is much more to her story than music. Included are ministry times in churches with her husband Curtis and ministry as a "Mizpah for Israel."

Nancy recalls her musical exploits in high school, college, and in her career as a choral teacher in public schools, community musician, church choir director, composer, singer, and pianist.

In varied settings, she learned to "bloom where she was planted," even resorting to comedy routines.

Nancy writes about her hearing impairment and the miracles God did for her. At the end of the book are some original musical compositions, all based on the Bible.

Nancy lives in Petrey, Alabama. She became a widow two years ago. She and Curtis have four children and 17 grandchildren.

This book will be of interest to anyone interested in music, and wants to read about a life lived as a witness for Jesus.

Nancy Petrey brings her poetry and music together as a fragrant offering to the LORD!

And then she shares it with us with an additional short devotion that will not only bring out your Bible for further study but also encourage you to keep notes (even a journal!) to rejoice in what God is saying and doing in your life.

"Most importantly, The Honeycomb is Waiting will cause you to fall more deeply in love with Jesus—and an added bonus, the more you experience Nancy Petrey’s personality, you will also fall in love with her. You will discover she is charming and witty, yet able to bring you to accepting some hard-hitting truth."

What would it look like if the expression "God-incidence" was embodied in a novel? It might well be titled Family Secrets.

In this fast-paced novel combining romance, intrigue, adventure, and yes, theology, Nancy Petrey brings to life the questions of God’s guidance, miracles, and the difficulties of standing as one of the faithful in a difficult time.

She also addresses issues of antisemitism, love, forgiveness, and redemption. As her characters explore their Jewish roots, the action moves from Mississippi State University, to churches and synagogues, to homes in New York City, to the Land of Israel, the action never stops.

Though this is fiction, the history is carefully researched, and the book features Dr. Michael Brown, the world’s foremost Messianic Jewish apologist and author, whose ideas and teaching are influential.

This book is fun, educational, and profoundly challenging.

God works, and those who spend time in prayer and live with the expectation of God’s presence see this most often.

In this fast paced and powerful sequel to Family Secrets – Divine Destinies, Nancy Petrey combines exciting action, romance, and powerful realistic Christian living in a story that will grip you, challenge you, entertain and teach you. All at once.

You will experience the daily excitement as the primary characters, college-age young people, seek God’s guidance while living active, fulfilling lives. Their lives are real and genuine, but in no way boring or dull.

The couples – two couples introduced in the first book – are strong, both as individuals with their own personalities, but even stronger together as they  bear fruit for God’s kingdom. setting people free from spiritual bondage, forgiving their enemies, and turning away from worldly acclaim in a music career to fulfill their God-given destinies.

If you have been looking for a book with strong moral values and people who live up to them, who aim to seek God’s kingdom whatever it takes, Family Secrets 2 - Double Destinies is for you.

What God begins with your story, God will continue to completion. In this final book of her Family Secrets trilogy, Nancy Petrey ties together the threads of providence as the characters deal with mystery, danger, and a variety of obstacles to fulfilling their destinies.

This book again combines fast action, romance, theology, and divine providence in a unique way. You will be learning a variety of things about scripture, history, prophecy and world politics as you enjoy the lively antics (and thoughtful plans) of the characters you have come to know from the first two volumes of this series.

Again, history and geography are seriously researched. You’ll find yourself learning a little bit of Hebrew along with the characters.

Author and publisher pray that you will hear the call to follow God’s leading and to depend on God’s providence. The people and events are fictional, but the God presented in this story is real.

This may be the most entertaining course in theology you could possibly take.
