"A Still Small Voice"
A Still Small Voice is heard
In the quiet place
Silent is the Word
Bringing you God’s Grace
In the quiet hours
Feel the peace within
The voice heard empowers
And your faith begins
Calming is the voice
Speaking of the love
Called to make a choice
Silent whispers from above
Flutter in the heart
Quiet as a dove
Feel the grace impart
Through a voice of love
Set your heart ablaze
Hear and rejoice
Give God the praise
For His Still Small Voice

"Curse of Death"
I cast this curse upon your love
Under English seas you'll drown
Choking on your blood now spilt
You'll sink many fathoms down
Your death will be most painful
On the pious sacrament of sharks
In a feeding frinzy
While they are tearing you apart
You'll see the glint in its eyes
Just before its jaws snap shut
Watch clear waters turn to blood
Right before your eyes
Way far off, you'll see the warrior ... but
He will be too late ... and
Your heart will cease to beat
As your breath is stilled
Let these features play out within your mind
In the time that you have left
Allow your mind to feel the pain
Long before my curse has bite

West Virginia Poet of the Week Sep 26, 2008
For her poem Rapture
Rapture
For sweetness of life in the valley, I bow my head in prayer
I will take the hand of my Savior, burdens gone, I sigh
My heart springs eternal as the midnight cry I hear
Waking in the morning, eternal life I'll know
Jesus my Savior has wiped away each tear
Standing in His Light, all praises I give
Sins erased and forgotten this day
A brand new life when morning dawns
In the twinkling of an eye
The midnight cry is heard
Fall on bended knee
I will depart
Tonight in
Rapture

First Article:
I was born Nancy Lee Pilkington on January 5, 1948 to the late William Thomas Pilkington and Ora Estella Stone Pilkington. I married Dennis Shrader of Clarksburg in a church ceremony at St. Stephens Episcopal Church—where I am still a member. I have lived almost my entire life in my hometown—with a brief time spent in Charleston while attending school, and a few years in Clarksburg when I was first married, but the rest of my fifty-eight years were spent in my home town in WV, where my husband and I raised three children, and buried a son who died at the age of three.
My writing career began many years before I typed the first word on my computer. It was my love for the written word—a love that had been lost over the years and only through a medical problem did this old love find a new place in my life. My love for reading began early in life—as a child I spent hours at the library reading of exciting people and far away places. My favorite Author back then was Elisabeth Ogillvie—I read her books over and over—Blueberry Summer was my favorite. I also enjoyed the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Mysteries, and of course the Little House Series. However, those quiet hours in the Public Library came to an end on a sunny afternoon when my father bought our first color television, and a top-of-the-line antenna that turned in all directions—picking up five channels instead of the one that was pretty good and the other that was fuzzy. Reading took a back seat to the little box full of color. I hate to admit it, but I spent most of my adult life glued to the television screen—and not until recent years did my love for the written word find its way back into my life.
Once in high school, I tried my hand at writing, but failed miserably. It wasn’t until I discovered the computer, and the program Word Perfect did my writing skills improve, but I’m getting ahead of my story. I didn’t just one day pick up a book and began reading, rediscovering the pleasures of my youth. You see, I have a problem with short term memory loss, caused from a medication I was taking. It didn’t happen all at once, but slowly over time—I was forgetting more and more. Then one day as I was writing a grocery list—I couldn’t remember how to make a (k) in milk. Needless to say that got my attention. I didn’t know what to do or where to turn—not wanting to face the hard truth—I had a very real problem. Then one day I took an elderly friend, who was in the early stages of Alzheimers, to her doctor’s appointment. The doctor gave her some advice that I adopted for myself. The doctor told my friend to read everything she could get her hands on, write letters, poetry—to just exercise her mind in order to slow the effects of the disease. You’ve heard the old saying, if you don’t use it you’ll lose it—well I took that doctor’s advice to heart, and I’m here to tell you, the advice from that doctor has been a godsend. I’m now back to reading instead of watching television. My mind might not be at 100%, far from it, but it’s better than it was three years ago. I still have problems, but my memory problems have been instrumental in my becoming a published author.
One evening I sat down at my computer determined to write a short story—to exercise my mind like the doctor had told my elderly friend. I have over the years wrote simple little poems, because I love to write things that rhyme, so I figured a short story couldn’t be that hard to do—and it didn’t have to be good—just an excerise. What to write about was the first question I asked myself. I had been working on a Bible Study of the End Time Prophecies for a few weeks, so a story about Christians sounded good. I have for most of my life enjoyed science fiction and ghost stories, so I decided to combine the two. I entitled my short story In the Image. I would write about Christians from a far off galaxy who travel to earth in search of other Christians. I had overheard several children at a church dinner discussing among themselves about people on other planets—and if there was—then who was their God. These innocent children gave me the idea for my first book—if there was life out there—then God created that life. Well that first short story turned into three books, In the Image, Shoulder to Shoulder as One, and United the Army of God. I had finished my Bible Study into the End Time Prophecies by then so I started another Bible Study on the Messianic Prophecies, and while working on that I started my next attempt—this time a ghost story, using my grandchildren as the main characters. I called the next series The Mayweather House series, the first in that series will be published in 2007, by Saga Books in Alberta, Canada.
The day I began my search into the prophecies concerning the End Times, wasn’t a day I decided to sit down and write a book for publication. IS IT NOW? The End of Days!, was not intended to become a book. I had only planned to look up a few passages in scripture to confirm what I had read by other authors. For all intents and purposes my hunger for knowledge soon turned into my personal hunger for God’s Word. Soon I found myself spending the entire day combing through the Bible, hungry for the Word of God. Each passage I found made me hungry for more—and because of my memory problems I had to write everything down—all my thoughts on each prophecy.
While looking for a publisher for the first of my Mayweather House books, I decided to send in my Bible Study to test the waters. I figured if they stole my Bible Study, they would be passing around the Word of God, and that would be great. When I was offered a contract from the first publisher I queried, I was, for a better word—flabergasted—and after several months of contract negotiations, I signed on the dotted line with Publish America—and I was on my way to becoming a published author. IS IT NOW? The End of Days! was not my personal Bible Study anymore, but on its way to becoming a real book.
My memory has improved over the past few years, and I could give my new found love of writing the credit, but I won’t. Maybe my memory problem was given me for a reason—to turn my mind from the world and allow God to work through me; if it weren’t for my memory problems, would I have been content to sit in church and listen as scripture was read each Sunday, hearing, but not really absorbing. I’ve heard it said that God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. Has God performed a miracle in me? I would like to think so. I said that my memory has improved, but it isn’t resolved; I can’t remember chapter and verse, like I’d like. I know a passage of scripture is in the Bible, but couldn’t tell you where or recite it word for word. A Bible site I found on the computer helps a lot, not to mention the dictionary. Words that I could spell ten years ago seem to escape me at times. At times even the knowledge of a word’s definition is totally absent from my mind. I can tell you for a fact, reading the scriptures over and over has cleared my mind, and brought about a healing. I’m not saying that I don’t forget many things, because I do, but I do finally remember. The love of God’s Word has pulled me out of the darkness and into the light.
Second Article: Author's letter to WV's youths
Dear My Younger Self:
Hello younger me. I have been asked to take a assessment of my life—and what I would change if I could turn back time. How would my life be different today if that were possible? Well, for one thing, I wouldn’t need an editor for my books or a dictionary on standby in my toolbar. There would be more time spent on learning and less time just skimming over schoolwork—my mind would consume all knowledge that is made available to anyone who wants to learn. To the future authors of this world, learning is the key to realizing your dreams—and to the older younger me—you are never too old to learn.
Do you have dreams of becoming a a Doctor, a Lawyer, a Scientist, or maybe a Published Author ? What are you doing to make your dreams come true? If you dream is to become an Author someday, as I dreamed at a young age; it is possible. Whatever you dream, follow that dream until it becomes a reality. However, your dreams will be easier to obtain when a love of knowledge is at the base of your dreams. It took fifty seven years for my childhood dreams to be realized, but with knowledge I probably would have realized that dream at a much younger age. Will I live long enough to see all my books in print? I hope so, but that may not happen—each book takes at least a year on the road to being published.

Rated: 
We have heard great sermons preached about: The end of time...Days, watched movies and even read many books concerning this prophecy. Yet I doubt, if such prophetic inspiration has ever gone to such depth as: Nancy Lee Shrader's new book: "Is It Now? The End Of Days!"
Useing the Bible and scripture, upon scripture the author backs up her words and views, not only concerning the end days, but of what we must do afterward, where we will go ( as believer's) and explains the kingdom of Heaven, that awaits those who endure: the glorious coming of the Lord. The author offers her: Inspiration and wisdom of words to the readers of her book, as a study of prophetic signs. It has most definately left this reader wondering: are we now living in the end days?.
Read this book, then you decide: Is it now and are we ready?
Thank you; Nancy Lee, for this book to study by.

Rated as Excellent Five Full Feathers! 
Over the course of several years I have read many books on the "End Time" events that are told about in scripture. Quite often those books used "theologically correct terminology," which proved to be more confusing that it did in answering questions. I had the opportunity to read the book, IS IT NOW? The End of Days! By Nancy Shrader and what a book it was. Is it Now? The End of Days is one of the easiest to understand books on prophecy that I have ever read. Not only is this book filled with scriptures releating to end time events, it sounds a clarion call to people everywhere to come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nancy Shrader will be the first to tell you that by no means is she considered to be a Bible Scholar or a renowned prophecy scholar, minister or educator. Nancy may not use the big words that you would expect to find in a study of this nature, but rather uses everyday words that most folks can and will understand. While you may not agree with everything that Nancy Shrader has written you must admire her zeal to search scriptures to find the truth. If you are looking for a clear, easy to read, understandable book on end time events, then IS IT NOW? The End of Days! is the book for you.

In Nancy Lee Schrader's book, "IS IT NOW? The End of Days!" readers will discover a wealth of information regarding what the Bible says about the end of the world as we know it. Her format is much like a handbook, providing not only the verse, but also including the text of the verse so the reader doesn't have to go back and forth between the Bible and her book. The book is in a reader-friendly format, and makes an excellent study guide. It is obvious that Nancy has done a great deal of extensive research and put a herculean effort into this work. I was impressed with her ability to share the truth in a very direct, yet unpretentious manner. I also found it very interesting to review the differences she noted between the King James Version of the Bible and the New International Version. I recommend this book for any person who is interesting in doing a self-paced study, as well as a group study course, regarding the Rapture. Are we truly in the end times? I am certain if you!
read this book, you will be more certain of the answer to that question. review by - Alissa Dunn, author of The Unclaimed Christmas Gift.
It has been a pleasure speaking with you.
God Bless you,

The signs are all around us, but are believers as well as non-believers seeing them. Nancy Lee Shrader gives us her personal interpretation of the scriptures, but also gives us the references to check them out for ourselves. Another thing I like about Nancy's book, is the fact, she uses down to earth language to get her point across.
Most of us have heard stories about what we can expect at the end of time, but Nancy Lee has given Bible verses to back up what she believes. Are we living in the days God calls the beginning of sorrows? Not everyone will agree, but her book will certainly leave readers asking that all important question. IS It Now The End of Days? By reading Nancy's book and the bible, we are closer to having an answer.
THE BOOK
IS IT NOW? The End of Days! ..... deals with prophecies that foretell The End of Days—prophecies proclaimed by prophets of old of God’s Final Judgments. When Jesus returns, the world as we know it will no longer exist. However, before His Glorious Appearing earth is plagued with turbulent events, changing the hearts of human kind—for some hearts saved in Christ—for others an alliance with evil.
In the news we see prophecies fulfilled. We see events such as changes in the weather—earthquakes in diverse places—and nation rising against nation! After God’s people are Raptured, then the Wrath of God is unleashed on the world—Tribulations bringing God’s Final Judgments. Those who are left behind after the Rapture will see the rebuilding of the Jewish temple— witnesses of God—the rise and fall of the antichrist—and the Glorious Appearing! When Christ speaks the Word of God, Evil will no longer exist!
Join me in my search for the Bible Prophecies that describe in detail, The End of Days. Then you tell me..... IS IT NOW?
Synopsis
IS IT NOW? The End of Days!
t
t
"IS IT NOW? The End of Days!" is a question that has plagued many people down through the centuries from the time the first prophet uttered the first EndTime Prophecy. When will it come? How will it come? Who will be here to see it happen? Will we find hope during the final days on earth? Will we even be here to witness this time?These are just a few of the questions that will be answered in this study into the End Time Prophecies.
The answers we are seeking are found in the one thousand six hundred and ninty five pages of the Holy Bible. The first three parts of IS IT NOW? The End of Days! is an overview of the time leading up to the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Part four groups together all the prophecies that foretell of the Rapture, when all the faithful believers in Christ are snatched away from their earthly lives and join Christ in His heavenly realm. Snached away from the coming Tribulations that will be unleashed upon a sinful world. In part five we will discover the prophecies that foretell of the second coming of Jesus Christ. This coming will come in two parts, the Rapture and the Glorious Appearing.Prophecies shows us that the second coming will come in two seperate events. First when the true believers are snached away and second when Jesus returns physically to earth.
Part six, prophecies foretell of the Rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and the Rise and Fall of Babylone, the kingdom of the antichrist. How these two construction projects will soon come to pass and why they must come to pass.
Part seven we will learn how God's wrath is mingled with His mercy upon those who missed out on the Rapture. As each judgment is handed down and God's wrath is unleashed, God is crying out to a sinful world, Follow Me and Live. These judgments are to get the attention of all those who are dragging their feet when it comes to their salvation.
Part eight we will learn of God's judgments upon the people of Earth. Judgments that are listed in the Book of Revelation. These judgments were revealed after Jesus ascended into heaven to Saint John on the Isle of Patmos. These warnings are given to the people of earth before they happen.
Part nine will give in detail as to what to expect from the unholy threesome, the antichrist, the false prophet and satan, the emenies of God and His Christ. We are given scripture so we will recognize the man of sin andhis followers. We learn that during the Great Tribulations the antichrist is indwelt by satan. The false prophet will set up a one world religion causing men and women to worship the antichrist and turn away from the one true God.
Part ten tells us of two heavenly witnesses who are sent to earth to win souls for Christ. Their battle with the antichrist brings about their deaths while the world rejoices over the deaths of these two prophets of God. Their bodies will lay in the street for three and a half days until by the power of God they live again. They they are called by God to return to heaven. This event will be witnessed by all on the earth at the same time.
Part eleven tells of saints, during those last days, some will be martyred for their faith in Christ, while others will endure the worst days ever seen on the earth, until Jesus comes and sets up His Kingdom. The unredeemed are those who follow the antichrist into the flames of hell.
Part twelve tells of the Glorious Appearing, when Jesus Christ descends from the Throne of God on the clouds of heaven to claim the children of God and do battle with the antichrist in the battle of Armageddon, the last battle before Christ sets up His Everlasting Kingdom, foretold in part thirteen.
Part fourteen brings the Kingdom that has no end. This kingdom is described as a place where there is no more pain, no suffering and all tears are wiped away by the salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior of the world. The White Throne Judgment depicted in the Epilogue when all people from all ages will be judged for their works. At this judgment all knees will bow and every tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord. Even satan himself will bow to the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
Then the part that is entitled Heaven brings about the beginning of life for all who have embraced the truth that Jesus Christ is the only Son of the Living God.
The final chapter in this Bible Study deals with different versions of the Holy Bible and how in at least one, passages have been left out or changed.
My book, IS IT NOW? The End of Days! is a personal Bible Study. I don't claim to be a renownedprophecy scholar, minister or educator and I'm definitely not an English major. However, I am a new creature in Christ Jesus as well as a wife, mother and grandmother from the state of West Virginia. I may not use the big words that you would expect to find in a study such as this. What you will find are my own personal interpretations and beliefs. I'm not forcing anyone to share my beliefs. The choice is up to each individual. What I am asking is for each person who reads this Bible Study, to open God's Book and read these prophecies for themselves. When you are finished, see if your beliefs coincide with mine that Jesus is coming and coming soon.
What I have discovered about the Book of Revelation is that it is a promise from God. A promise to all of everlasting reward. For some a reward of everlasting life through Jesus Christ. For others a reward of everlasting damnation, because they rejected the only begotten Son of God. Prophecies that the Risen Jesus gave to Saint John the Divine on the Isle of Patmos.It is my belief that Jesus will RAPTURE His church and then the Tribulations will be unleashed. The antichrist and the false prophet under the influence of satan will have a seven year rule over the people of Earth who missed the RAPTURE. The whole point of this Bible Study is to change the numbers of those who will find themselves left behind to face the Wrath of GOD!

I am happy to inform you that PublishAmerica has decided to give "Is It Now?" the chance it deserves. An email will follow this one with the sample contract attached for your review. If you do not receive the email with the attached sample contract in twenty-four hours, please contact me, so I can resend the document via another method.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have concerning the contract and to guide you through the contract negotiations phase. Please note that once you have requested that we send the official contract, we cannot further amend the contract.
Upon receiving your e-mail in acceptance with the terms, we will forward the final contract documents to you via regular mail for your signature. Along with your e-mail acceptance please include your legal name, current address, telephone number and title of work as you would like it to appear on the final contract.
The main terms of the contract are that we will pay you climbing royalties starting at 8%, you retain the copyright, and we will begin production on the book within 365 days of the date we receive the signed contract. A symbolic $1 advance underlines that all financial risk is carried by the Publisher, as we firmly believe it should be.
Once the signed contract has been processed in our offices, you will be contacted by our Production department regarding "the next step" for your book in the publishing process.
After both parties have signed the contract, you will be contacted by our production department with a list of questions and suggestions. Please feel free to e-mail any concerns or questions dealing with the terms of the contract to tania@publishamerica.com. Also, please visit our web site at www.PublishAmerica.com.
Welcome to PublishAmerica, and congratulations on what promises to be an exciting time ahead.
Sincerely,
Tania Grab
Acquisitions Department
PublishAmerica
Dear Ms. Shrader:
Your contract will be on its way shortly for your signature. In order to be able to pay you royalties, we must have a W-9 form on file for you. Attached you will find the PDF version of this form. Please print out a copy of this form, fill in the appropriate information and return with your contract. Please make sure you sign your name in the signature box below part II.
In addition, we must request that your provide a copy of your social security card and a picture ID (license or passport) in order to verify the information.
If you do not have a copy of your social security card, we can accept another form of identification (such as a medicare card or military ID) or you can visit www.ssa.gov to apply for a replacement social security card. Lost or stolen cards are replaced for free.

Hello, Nancy. I am just about done with your book:” Is It Now The End Of Days.” And first of all I can say this, without reservation: It is different and it is truly a study, into the whole biblical concept of the prophecies of our Lords coming and of what we can expect!!!!!! You my dear friend have done your homework, and I for one, am astonished at the depth you have went to in the word; to write this book. More later, God Bless.

Well Nancy, I have finished your book this morning and will add a little to what I have already said .Is it now, is not a book to be taken lightly; rather, it is a book to study in depth. After reading the first few pages, I found myself going back over what I had read; more carefully, thus studying your words and the scriptures you had quoted. It was a learning experience!!!
You have asked me to be honest, in my review of your book, so here goes: I believe the title of your book alone will catch the attention of its readers, there-fore drawing them into buying it and once they do; like me, the reader will begin studying, not merely reading. The conclusion to your book is this: the reader will be left; again as I am, thinking: IS IT NOW THE END OF DAYS????? God Bless you, Nancy and I pray for the success and inspiration of your book.
Your friend: Sonny.

Dear Ms Shrader:We are excited to inform you that your cover design has been approved. Following this email, we will be sending you the approved design via an email attachment. Please note that this is a large file, and you may need to make room in order to receive it. If you have not received your cover design with 24 hours, please contact me, so we can insure you receive it.
Please carefully review your entire cover design. It is difficult to make changes once the book goes to print. Although we do retain final say over the cover design per the contract, we want to work with you to create the best possible design. Also be sure to check the spelling of your name and book title on the spine. You have 48 hours to respond to the cover design before the book goes to the printer.Thank you,SantoCover DesignerPublishAmerica
Dear Ms Shrader:Attached is your cover jpg. The figure on your cover is a female angel, hand raised in blessing over the earth. She has just alighted on top of a building and is balanced on one foot on a stone ball. I have deliberately silhouetted the figure in the dawning light to symbolize a new day.Thank you,SantoCover DesignerPublishAmerica----- Original Message -----

Glad you liked your cover! I tried the glow in gold and several other colors around the angel. It looked bad. I'm glad you were able to view the cover without interference. I think you will be more than satisfied with the printed version. I have attached your revision. The official release date of your book is 5-8-06 (although it will be available sooner than that).
Your book will be sent to our printers next Monday. From there, it generally takes between 3-6 weeks for the first copies to print, then you will receive your author copies. Your book will post on the PublishAmerica site soon after it goes to the printers. Pre-release letters will be sent, and your book can be pre-ordered for delivery as soon as they are printed. PublishAmerica provides a cover picture and other pertinent information to the online stores, such as B&N and Amazon. These online stores often have a backlog, so it will be several weeks before you will see your book posted on these sites.
Any further questions you may have, please direct to our author support team at support@publishamerica.com.
It was a pleasure working with you!
Sincerely,SantoCover Designer
