My Take: Ever wondered how stories shape our faith and resilience? Today we are going to talk about a fascinating read!  Altars of Living Stones: Building Faith One Testimony at a Time by Patrick Aquilone,  is a gem of a book that delves into the power of testimonies in building our faith.  Each page was like adding a stone to the altar of our spiritual journey, reinforcing our foundation with real-life accounts of God's faithfulness. What I loved most about this book is its ability to resonate with readers on a personal level. Through relatable testimonies, it feels like the author is speaking directly to your heart, reminding you of God's presence in every trial and triumph.

Author's Interview with Brendan Tsoi.

Before we dive into our exciting conversation with today’s remarkable author, let’s start by getting to know the creative mind behind the diverse and captivating stories. 1. Could you please introduce yourself to us? Ah, introductions. Funny thing, really. You spend a lifetime becoming who you are, and then you’re asked to sum it up in a sentence or two. I guess, at my core, I’m just someone trying to make sense of things. I’ve worn a few hats—father, husband, teacher, life coach, mentor, employer, writer but I don’t think any one title really defines me. I write because I need to, because stories have a way of getting under your skin and demanding to be told. A Vampire’s Meetings with Masters wasn’t just a book I decided to write; it was something that grew out of years of thinking, questioning, and living. If anything, I see myself as a storyteller, sharing what I’ve gathered along the way. 2. Congratulations on your book! What inspired you to write it? Thanks. It’s been a journey, t...
