On the Air

Click here to listen to my first interview as an author: Sunday, 1/11/09 on Urban Literary Review (BlogTalkRadio) with L. Martin Johnson Pratt ( @iluvblackwomen on Twitter ).

Click here to listen to my Saturday, 7/11/09 interview with Evangelist Maureen Chen and her co-host Juergen on Kingdom Club on BlogTalkRadio.

Robin Tramble interviewed me on 7/14/09 on the subject "Why Forgiveness Tests Our Faith", during her awesome Dynamic Women of Faith Telesummit. (Recording issues required that the interview be split into two parts - Part II is here.)

My transformation from atheist to born-again Christian minister was fodder for a second 60-minute interview with Evangelist Maureen Chen and co-host Juergen Mair on Kingdom via the BlogTalkRadio network on Saturday, 7/25/09.

About My Book
This area does not yet contain any content.

Stepping into the Light: You’re a Christian, what now? is a great primer for the new adult Christian, as well as a devotional and inspiring Christian living guidebook.

Written by Diane L. Harris, the daughter of a South Bronx born Jew and a Jamaican-American ex-Episcopalian Jewish convert, Stepping into the Light is the fearless testimony of a former atheist who admits that while Christian salvation erases the threat of eternal damnation, becoming a Christian is not a magical pill for the ills of life on earth.

Combining curiosity, transparency, a gift for simplifying erudition and a palpable joy, Minister Diane explores the questions for God that inundated her as a “baby believer.”

With clarity and wielding a humble sense of humor, this woman of God leads the way to a down-to-earth relationship with a loving Messiah by answering such important questions as: What’s the meaning of salvation? Who do I become when I’m born again? Do I need to know about spiritual warfare? How is the Old Testament relevant to me as a Christian? What does the New Testament teach? What promises does God have for me? Can I contribute to the kingdom of God?

If you are a Christian, “baby believer” or not, who is asking yourself, “what now?” this book is written for you.

3 of My Favorite Blog Posts

After nearly 150 posts on this blog, I realize that I have a lot to say, and have only just scratched the surface since I began Stepping into the Light just over one year ago. I've also discovered over the last year how much I enjoy reading other people's blogs--before I started my own I had only read a handful of mostly professional bloggers as a volunteer blog commenter for The Borgen Project.

But enough beating around the bush. The point is, I've decided I'll take a break today and point my readers to some of my favorite blogs to read, by mentioning just three of my favorite blog posts from recent months, in no particular order:

"Why Are You Not Sure There is No God? (From a Copywriter's Standpoint)" by my adorably direct buddy Bingkee (Vivienne) who keeps a widely varied blog called "I Love/Hate America" which is about a Filipina immigrant's (Bingkee's) love-hate relationship with American culture.

"Coming Out of the Desert" by one of the most delightful, down-to-earth, uplifting people I've met online, Yvette Nietzen, who is always a breath of fresh air on her Fresh Wind Ministries blog.

"Childhood Abandonment, Drugs, Insane Asylum: It's All Good." John Shore is flat-out one of the best writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading. He's got a rich story to tell and a why-this-is-funny way of telling it. I don't want to jinx John, but I predict that one day one of his books will be a New York Times #1 bestseller. In the meantime, I'll keep going back to John's blog for a regular dose of righteous wit and humorous testifying. 

This was fun. Just the anticipation of the enjoyment some of you will get out of the posts I've shared is making me all tingly inside. Maybe I'll make this a monthly feature.

Bingkee, "Why Are You Not Sure There Is No God?" has got to be one of my favorite titles of any piece of writing of all time. It's just down to earth and to the point and makes me want to giggle from my belly all at the same time -- just like you. The post is great too, not just the title. Love it.
