My Bible Culture

The Passover is the perfect time to remind ourselves of our connection with God and how we can do His Work not only within wider society but also by starting with building a strong foundation inside of our own homes!

What messages are we giving to our children when we talk to them? Are we leading by good example as we go about our daily lives? Do we talk respectfully and with empathy to those around us? How do we allow our children to spend their free time? What books and tv shows are they exposed to?

It certainly is not a coincidence that we are constantly bombarded with conflicting and confusing messages from the media, our teachers, and our acquaintances. Which is why in a world of confusion you must know there is ONE reliable source of guidance and love and that is the word of God as written in The Holy Bible.

Like a child returning to its parent in times of distress you too can return and find solitude and comfort within the pages of His holy words. We have crafted a beautiful Bible the “Illustrated Reference Bible” both as a physical book and as a digital copy, you can access it on the move, on your business travels, in the car, ANYWHERE.

Have Tablet, Will Travel!

If you’re never away from your Inbox (who isn’t??) then you’ll be pleased to know there will soon be something Godly to read as My Bible Culture is days away from launching the first of a series of inspirational reads called the Break Free Blog Series, the perfect way to start and finish your day with.

Based on our unique V.E.S.T values system, the series will reveal the deeper meaning and practical applications relating to the values of Virtues, Education, Self-Awareness and Transformation. By incorporating these four key elements into your lives, you can experience a true elevation of the soul and a feeling of contentment and inner peace.

We believe no soul should start its day without putting on its V.E.S.T which is why we have developed this unique range of traditional and mobile virtual products to make it easier for you to achieve that personal development and that deeper connection with God wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.

Not having the time is no longer an excuse!!

But remember, this deeper connection with God will develop gradually over time. The longer you stay on the journey the deeper the connection and the happier you will become.

The Enigma Factor an Interview with Breakfield and Burkey

What were you like at school?

Breakfield pushed the envelope.  Someone asked him, “This is your senior year, why the heavy course load?” He responded, “To see if I could do it.”

Burkey liked to study and often tutored others in high school, particularly in math and science.   

Were you good at English? 

Breakfield received an A in Senior English, but had his head handed to him in freshman English at UT of Austin.  The freshman English teacher worked with him and he squeaked a B, but really learned how to write. Burkey earned As in English and liked to dissect poems or songs to find the hidden meanings.

What are your ambitions for your writing career? 

Breakfield and Burkey strive to be great storytellers both in our fiction and short stories as well as in person. 

Which writers inspire you? 

Breakfield and Burkey enjoy many authors and are voracious readers. Breakfield was inspired by Richard F. Burton and Kevin J. Anderson. Burkey was inspired by Jack London and Charles Dickens.

So, what have you written? Feel free to include books, novellas, short stories, poems, blogs, awards or anything of interest.

Breakfield and Burkey have an award winning series currently with 9 books in The Enigma Series, TechnoThrillers. Book 10 is currently under construction. We received a first place award for a short story in 2017 and have three more entered for 2018. 

Additionally, we wrote 2 non-fiction technical manuals from earlier days. Here is our website with all our titles: http://enigmabookseries.com/ and samples to download. When visitors sign up for our mailing list they get a free coloring book. The audible for The Enigma Rising was given a notable reviewer award by audiobookreviewer.com

Where can we buy or see them?

All of books have the links to buy from your favorite retailer and in the media of your choice whether that is trade paper, eBook, or audible so far on the first 4 in the series. Audio versions can be accessed via Audible, Audible UK, or itunes.

Give us an insight into your main character. What does he/she do that is so special? 

That’s a tough one.  Our main character(s) is actually a group, specifically the R-Group.  In 2 of our books we spun off the CATS (Cyber Assassin Technology Services) Team, a more feet-on-the-street and much grittier group of complex characters with diverse backgrounds.

Our character universe has over 160 characters and we shuttle them in and/or out to tell the best story we can.  This is about the cyber good guys against the cyber bad guys, so it is not just one main character. In fact the stories are more focal point based, as an example, The Enigma Factor has a focus on identity theft.

If we can’t go any further without a single character then we will tell you his name is Immersive Collaborative Associative Override of Deterministic systems or ICABOD our ever evolving, supercomputer.

What are you working on at the minute? 

We just finished our 3 new short stories entered into three different genres, and are in the middle of our 10^th techno-thriller in the series, The Enigma Source. A sample of this story is also on the website under Sneak Peek 

What’s it about? 

We are focusing on digital currency or crypto-currencies and we have the good guys/gals fighting the dark net bad guys. 

What genre are your books? 

Our series genre is techno-thriller. Which includes technology framework surrounded with international travel, romance, intrigue, mystery, humor and complex characters.

What draws you to this genre? 

We each have over 20 years in the high tech world so we get a lot of our book themes, characters, and relevant technology vulnerabilities from our day jobs. 

Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book? 

For a few of the characters, we would recommend the following,

Jacob	Chris Pine
Petra	Keira Knightley
Quip	James Franco
Otto	Max von Sydow
Haddy	Glenn Close
Julie	Alicia Vikander
Buzz	Taylor Kitsch
Wolfgang	Christopher Plummer
Master Po	Ming-Na Wen
Chairman  Chang	Benicio del Toro
Jim Hughes	Alec Baldwin or Aidan Turner

How much research do you do? 

Breakfield and Burkey actually do research on our books all the time. We like to scan the technical horizon all the time for vulnerabilities and possible attack vectors that we can take and turn into interesting stories.  We like the challenge of taking high tech issues and making them a fun, relevant read to today’s adults.   

Have you written any other novels in collaboration with other writers? Yes, but we have found we complement each other so well that we cannot imagine writing without having the ability to bounce ideas off each other.

Why did you do decide to collaborate and did that affect your sales? 

We are confident that we turn out a better product by writing together.  We use a technique called “literary ping-pong” where we bat a chapter, a character, or a story thread back a forth until it is finely polished.

When did you decide to become a writer? 

Breakfield and Burkey had different forays into writing and started young.  Like wine, we get better with time.

Why do you write? 

Honestly, to get better and be the best storytellers we can be.

About the Authors

Charles V. Breakfield

Charles likes to travel in Texas on a motorcycle, World War II history, wine & good food, and voice/data technology. As a colorful and somewhat controversial individual you can find him either in his shop building furniture, writing with his co-author Roxanne E. Burkey, or out riding his motorcycle, but always meeting people looking for suitable character material for the next thriller installment of the Enigma Book Series.

Roxanne E. Burkey

Writing is a passion for Roxanne that incorporates many of her interests and dovetails nicely with her full time work in customer experience technologies. After successfully writing white papers and technology documentation she wanted a different more fun, less stress writing outlet. Her co-author Charles Breakfield agreed and The Enigma Series began. You are invited to explore their website http://enigmabookseries.com/ and leave/read comments in the Enigma Chronicles Blog area. 

She enjoys learning, travel, family, outdoor activities, good food, wine sampling, reading, living and visiting good friends which helps to bring diversity and new ideas into the stories. 

She is still learning humor and there is hope for this century that she will master it!

Buckaroo Buckeye with Kristin Cetone

Do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly?
My stories are built on my emotions and memories and passions and life experiences. I think ALL authors start
from one, or all, of these vantage points to create their words.


Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?
Currently, I am working on a trilogy of books with characters all connected to Buckaroo Buckeye. I am trying to build a body of work that connects to my original character of Buckaroo Buckeye and that thread the common connection to literacy and building self-esteem through finding their special place in the world, as each character travels their life journey of self-discovery.


What does literary success look like to you?
Imagine a world where you couldn't understand instructions, you couldn't get from point A to point B, discover new things, engage your imagination, achieve a positive self-image, absorb new ideas, build a better life, follow directions to prepare a favorite food, get a job, or escape the chores of everyday living? The written word is the building block of life but being able to read and understand those words is power. Imagine not being able to explore the beauty and diversity of our world? Not being able to experience people and places beyond our neighborhood? This is THE POWER OF READING, an abundant and sustainable resource for mankind and the future. DO YOU HAVE THE POWER?


What period of your life do you find you write about most often? (child, teenager, young adult)
My childhood memories and experiences.


What is your favorite childhood book?
Misty of Chincoteague.


What were you like at school?
I was an extremely shy girl. For the first thirteen years of my childhood I lived in the rural country and had no other kids, other than my brother, to socialize with on a daily basis, so I relied upon my own creativity. TV was not prevalent then. I excelled in my academics and ballet and horseback riding but relished time by myself to read, do artwork, and pretend I was a teacher.


So, what have you written?(*Include books, novellas, short stories, poems, blogs, awards or anything of interest.)
I have one published book Buckaroo Buckeye-A Little Nut with Big Dreams. It is a Mom's Choice Silver Award Winner for 2013 and this book was awarded the 2016 OneBookArizona children's book winner. I have contributed several editorial pieces on children and reading to several local print sources, and I have over 150 blogs on my website.


What are you working on at the minute?
I am currently in the process of publishing three sequels to my original book. What does a buckeye tree do? It produces more buckeyes :-). Each of my three sequels are dedicated to three very inspirational women from my buckeye family tree.


What genre are your books?
Children's picture books


Why do you write?
I am inspired by my deep roots in the Buckeye State of Ohio along with something my father used to ask in his elder years. He would often ask “do you know what a buckeye is?” To indulge, we would always answer, “No, Dad, what is a buckeye?" His response was always, “It’s a worthless nut.” Such is the premise for Buckaroo Buckeye’s story. 

As a Reading Specialist, literacy and struggling readers was my career focus. The value of reading had been instilled and nurtured in me from an early age. As I worked with struggling readers, I witnessed how an inability to read had eroded their self-esteem and made them vulnerable to bullying. I want to inspire and encourage all, especially struggling readers, that there is a special place for each-and-every one of us in the world and through determination, nurturing, and guidance, success will be found, despite the bumps and bullies and setbacks along our life journey of self-discovery.

God, Will I Ever Find Happiness? The Journey Toward Healing Your Inner Child

This book was created from the question "God, will I ever find happiness?" found in the introduction. The author has often tussled with this question and statements out of exhaustion and hopelessness most of her life. Through asking, there was also a process of searching. Thus, this book was born out of the questioning if there was truly more to life. That more included peace, love, and most of all, happiness. Through her personal experiences of overcoming hardships and depression, Mitzy seeks to provide wisdom to help others become the conquerors they were born and created to be. 

This book provides helpful tools and perspectives that give guidance to those who are struggling to enjoy their lives to the fullest. The purpose of this book is to let you know that happiness is possible for you!"

Sitting at the Kitchen Table by Sandi Smith

MARIANNE HAD PLENTY OF TIME ON HER HANDS TO DO NOTHING, so she decided to clean the placemats that she had collected over the past fifty years. Fifty years of a wonderful life together with her husband and best friend, Andrew. Fifty years that should have turned into sixty, but would not even turn into fifty-one. Her wonderful Andrew was dead. 

Andrew…her friend and caretaker of her soul and mind and being. Loneliness, darkness, and guilt extended their hungry fingers out for Marianne, desperately trying to pull her even further into their world…a world with no escape. How could she live without her Andrew? She had been so sure that she would be the first one to die in this relationship. But now there was a stronger component to her loneliness and darkness that was starting to make its presence known to Marianne. Anger. 

Anger had been a companion of Marianne’s for a very long time, but usually, she had the ability to quiet its demand to be set free. This time, though, Marianne was not sure she would be able to control this anger. It was different somehow…stronger. 

She was afraid and weak. She had lost her faith in God, and she was so angry with Andrew for leaving her behind. Leaving her all alone in this dark, insane world. A world that was in such a hurry to go nowhere. A world that was in such a hurry to destroy everything in its path. 

Marianne was in its path, but this time she was alone. Sitting at the kitchen table, Marianne closed her eyes, and then she prayed that today, she would die.

"The Other Side of Ecstasy" 

Disregard Of Godly And Sound Traditional Marriage Values

With the help of a Loveawake.com dating site, I interviewed more than 10,000 people from around the world to compile some quantitative data and marriage statistics. Here are her most shocking and illuminating findings—and the numbers to back them up. When you break that down by the number of marriages:

41 percent of first marriages end in divorce.

60 percent of second marriages end in divorce.

73 percent of third marriages end in divorce.

Let it be realized, once again, that marriage is intended by God for the fulfillment, happiness, and pleasure of men and women. A mature man or woman is incomplete without marriage because two are better than one. And the two are meant for the happiness, joy, and pleasure of each other. So any regret or crises in marriage is an abnormality. Such problems, especially when they cannot be resolved by the married couples, are not of God, the institutor of marriage.

The brain behind all problems in a marriage relationship is Satan. Satan and his angels are mischievous – all they do is to cause problems and disobedience. They know that when a marriage has problems, it will affect every other thing the couples do. It will affect the home and the society generally. This is so because sound marriage relationship is indispensable to sound society.

One of the ways Satan unleashes his terror against marriage relationship is by causing the couples to disregard the Word of God – the foundation and pillar of marriage. God ordained marriage and gave each partner his or her role in it. If those roles and rules are followed by each partner, there will be harmony and love. But instead of the Word of God being the guiding principle in marriage relationships, all we see and hear are agitations for equality of sexes and the subjugation of womenfolk.

Aside from the Word of God, various societies have traditional values aimed at safeguarding the institution of marriage. Where those values are good, they have also been attacked by frivolous modernity orchestrated by the devil. Otherwise, what is the rationale for arguing that traditional values that safeguarded the marriage relationships of our forebears and made them have fulfilled and pleasurable marriages are now outdated? Yet, the so-called modern values have only brought ruin to our marriages, homes and the society.

The Bible and most other traditional marriage values teach submission by the wife, love, care, respect, and faithfulness to each other, etc. If married couples should go back to these values, marriage relationships would return to what they should be.
