About the Author 

Brian “Asriel” Newman lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee where he attends a Messianic Congregation and spends weekends with his two dearly loved daughters, Aliyahna Shalom and Shema Yisrael. 

He has been writing from an early age after art failed to be a successful endeavor. Brian has translated his years of life experience that begin with growing up in a log cabin where he had a pet raccoon in a town without a traffic light, to serving 4 years in the military where he was stationed in Germany and Oklahoma to lyric writing in Nashville where he was also studying History and German at Belmont University, travelling back to Germany to be an exchange student, on to grad school for seminary and a master’s in marriage and family, to divorce and a brief time of homelessness afterwards. 

Then there was ministry that never left the ground, and much financial struggle along with way.

 Brian shares his experiences with Anxiety and Depression, the early death of both parents, falling in and out of love, living in both the backwoods of Tennessee and the cities of Europe, and all that The Creator has taught Him and blessed Him with along The Way.

“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which You established—what is man, that You are mindful of him?And the son of man, that You care for him? Psalm 8:4
