Questions and answer time with Paula Rose Michelson and a giveaway of the print book Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Book 2:

 As a writer of faith stories, I love looking back on my journey because little did I know that interning in a dually diagnosed psychiatric unit at Woodview-Calabasas Hospital, at the age of forty would lead me to give my life to Messiah (Jesus Christ). I had no idea that attending a church would lead me to offer to help some women and end up meeting with Pastor Hurt to explain what the Lord had begun and have Pastor pronounce me The Women's Lay Councilor for Freemont Community Church, in Freemont, CA and place me under his authority. This was the beginning of LAMB (Life Affirming Messages from the Bible) Ministries which helps women recover from trauma and abuse through the effective use of Scripture, and prayer.

When my husband, Ron became a Messianic missionary with Chosen People Ministries, I joined the staff and coordinated missionary calendars. During that time, I found myself crying out to God because I wanted to do something for the Kingdom. His answer blessed me, but I was concerned that this dyslectic writer's work might be subpar. Yet knowing that God was involved, I set my eyes on Jesus. It has been my great pleasure to research the history of the Sephardic Jews baptized into the Catholic faith during the Inquisition. From that research and my desire to use Scripture to heal wounds as I have done with my LAMB ladies, the Casa Saga Books were birthed. Though the heritage of my heroine is unique, the issues she faces are those that bring each of us to the cross.

Since beginning my writing journey with Messiah, I discovered that for me writing is akin to breathing, and I am already researching two more series. When not writing, speaking, teaching, or involved in ministry with my husband, Ron, having a gabfest with family members who live far away, I can be found meeting with friends, or worshiping at my Messianic Congregation Ben David in Santa Ana, California or at The Lutheran Church of the Cross in Laguna Woods where we partner to reach the lost.

Reviews of Reviews of Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Book 2:

   mine:I give "Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book 2"by Paula Rose Michelson 5 stars. Naomi's friend Alex takes her to a camp where she finds The Blessing Rock and Ruth. Ruth gives her a Bible and asks her to read it. When Naomi reads the Bible she is surprised to find that Jesus is Messiah. Chaz learns a surprise as well in this book but I won't tell you what the surprise is. I thought Casa De Naomi Book 1 was great but I think Book 2 was even better. I think by the time all six books get written it might just be a classic like "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell, at least I hope so. Paula Michelson gives such vavid details that I could actual see the scenes in my mind as I was reading. She actually made me feel what the characters were feeling. I think this saga would make a great movie or a mini series on the screen.Paula Michelson made the Bible passages she wrote in the story so inviting that while reading this book I wanted to get my Bible out and found the passages that she wrote about.I am eagerly awaiting the other books in this series. I was given a PDF by the author.
  

Author of “The 13^th Enumeration,” William Struse in his five star review said, “Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Book 1 is a soulful story in the tradition of some of the Bible's great heroines. Duty, sacrifice, and faith are carried in the arms of love by a courageous young woman, who rises above her own flaws to help others. After reading this touching story, you will be asking yourself, is my life truly A House of Blessing?”

Rhonda Gayle-Nash said in her 5 star review said, “Paula Rose Michelson is a gifted writer and prophet. She is certainly telling the good news through her fictional work in this series of books. The back of her novel says: "Fulfilling Messiah's Great Commission through Literature" and she does exactly that in her writing. I also love how she draws so many parallels between Ruth and Naomi in Casa de Naomi with Ruth and Naomi of the Bible. I adore the way she has a little child lead Naomi to some important truths during a simple activity such as fishing together and sharing a picnic lunch. I also love how she has an older woman teach the younger women and lead them to their own understandings of God and the Bible. It causes me great pain to realize how Naomi feels that she must hide her faith, her culture, her Judaism. It made me reflect on the pain that so many Jews have experienced and the horrors of the Holocaust. I imagine this book will make many readers reflect in a similar way, but Paula leaves us with hope as she writes and weaves the tale of Naomi's life......read to discover how Naomi and Chaz will resolve their problem: can he forgive her lies? can she forgive his anger towards her? Will Naomi find Messiah and welcome him into her heart as the new family she meets has already done? Superb writing! incredible storytelling! beautiful news!”

Joan E. Hawkes said in her 5 star review, “Not many books today are able to intertwine spirituality, romance, suspense and biblical theology and ideology with a hint of history bound in a fictional novel such as the saga Paula Rose Michelson has written. As we turn the beginning pages of Book I, we are passively yet unexpectedly caught in the pre-destined web of characters that continues to navigate us toward the final words of Book II. She has skillfully drawn not only seasoned women, the young at heart, but the youth as well into her prescribed pages of God moments coupled with free will choice. There are biblical life lessons to be found between the covers of this tale, so ready yourself for the journey and be prepared to enter through the gates of "Casa de Naomi; The House of Blessing" and be blessed!”

 “This book is amazing!” C. Hills said in her 5 star review. “I wanted to read a couple of chapters and then found I could not put it down and ended up reading it in two sittings.”
