ABOUT THE AUTHOR--
REV. MARTIN LAUZERNE
DUNNE III, CPA
*BOOKS WRITTEN DURING PANDEMIC LOCK-DOWN*
Rev. Martin L. Dunne III, CPA, author of several books for both children and adults, is an ordained minister and chaplain in Boca Raton, Florida. Prior to ministry he spent over a decade working with and managing several corporations and nonprofits throughout Florida. These experiences have resulted in a unique perspective on just how deeply God wants all to have the best life possible!
During the unexpected spare time during the quarantine, Fr. Martin Dunne penned six different books! *Please contact author directly if interested in getting a signed copy directly from author--while supplies last*
One of Fr. Martin's goals is getting God's message out to people in a gentle and enriching way where they can find the fulfillment and peace for which they have always longed!
There are the six titles (all in Hardcover, Paperback, Audio, and Electronic formats), at your favorite websites and stores where books are sold!
"What Could a Priest Know about Marriage?" guides adults in how to prepare for, find and keep the one special relationship based on theology, Scripture, life-experiences, several graduate courses on the topic, and ministry.
"Marriage is God's Special Gift" introduces children to the beauty and potential of traditional marriage and family through a gentle chronicle of a family's history over three generations.
"It's Worth it Because of God's Love for You" explains how God's unique, special, and loving plans for each child were planned from the beginning of time through all history.
"Popcorn's Perspective" gently introduces children to the dangers of "the 7 deadly sins" (without using such harsh terminology), along with the offsetting benefits of following the opposite 7 virtues.
"Popcorn Returns" gently addresses the recent grim news to children in light of how God is with them through it all while helping them in each moment to make positive changes, through the examples of the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit.
"The Bible is God's Proof God's 'I Love You' is Real" shows how God's expression of love is consistent throughout the Bible.
*The Children's books are packed with images full of detail, symbolism, and fun surprises!
I'm excited to also announce the multiple media outlets (so far... more to come!!!!) which have profiled the books!:

WHAT COULD A PRIEST KNOW ABOUT MARRIAGE?
September 15th, 2020
Considering my ironic role as a priest, and the many misconceptions it contains, I feel my book, with the proposed title, What Could a Priest Know about Marriage?, can be a critical guide for those from all walks of life who are searching for that one affirming relationship. This book has been years in the making, and incorporates insights and lessons I have repeatedly, and successfully, introduced into my ministry to directly, and individually, consul thousands of individuals and hundreds of relationships . These insights have not only assisted others in finding those meaningful relationships by freeing themselves of various misconceptions which have unwittingly held them down, but, far more importantly, they have brought about healing, strengthening and fortifying of their relationships in such a way that the relationship enhances all other areas of life with a peace and joy that few ever though was even possible—as it grows and develops over the years.
