The Christmas star has been identified using NASA provided astronomy computer programs. Fifteen years of ancient sky events were electronically surveyed and correlated with symbols, symbolism and interpretations used by sky watchers over 2,000-years ago. Additional significant celestial birth announcements just prior to Christ’s birth have been discovered and verified with additional computer programs. The first spectacular celestial events announced why the first Earth-born God would become the greatest God in the universe. The final Christmas star over Bethlehem was the geographical position marker for the birth place of that God, Jesus Christ. This book has been written for readers ages 12+.
REVIEWS:
Unraveling the Christmas Star Mystery is a thorough, accurate and spellbinding account of the Christmas Star phenomenon based on numerous NASA computer programs, Biblical passages, historical records, illustrations on ancient monuments, coins and legal seals dating back three thousand or more years. The scientific data with ancient observations and beliefs form a precise explanation of the birth of Jesus and the associated phenomenon of the Christmas star. This text is a good source of information for the scholar, teacher, and population in general. Recommended highly for Biblical Scholars. H.J. Lewis, M.D.
A very unique book that is quite thought provoking in its analysis and connections. Many have been critical of the Christmas star mystery as well as the wisemen, but Ms. Baron logically shows why this could be one of the strongest arguments "for" the validity of the claim adding yet another proof to the Christian apologists' belt. Well done. Jean Payens o "Paladin,"

MARY KNEW
THIRD PLACE BRONZE MEDAL
2018 Exemplary Christian Biography Book
Illumination Book Awards
Bronze Medal sponsored by the Jenkins Group.
Awarded in 2018
This historical narrative provides intricate details about the tribulations of Mary’s parents, Mary’s birth, her early life, Joseph’s reluctance, and the unusual events during the birth of Jesus. God named, blessed and ordained Mary before her conception to be the mother of His Son, Jesus. Angels informed her parents that Mary would be more blessed than any woman to be born on Earth. It documents a multitude of angels, miracles and fulfilling of ancient prophecies. It is a compilation of traditions and history from ancient scriptures that were used in Christian churches for hundreds of years. James, Joseph’s youngest son, provided eye witness testimony. He became a chief Apostle and was the first Christian Bishop of Jerusalem.
REVIEWS:
The story of Mary – the how, the why, the when - she became destined to become the Virgin Mother of God is revealed in the pages of the most enchanting book I read this year. Written with a simplistic elegance reminiscent of the Bible stories I read as a child, Irene Baron tells Mary’s story in such a haunting way that it consumed my thoughts when I wasn’t reading about her … Not only do I recommend this book to one and all, I believe it has the power to change the mind of even the most hardened non-believer.

Facebook note from Carmen: "Oh, friends and readers—this really is the most enchanting book I read to date this year; I hope you go out and get your own copy if you’ve not already done so. Definitely 5 stars!"
Mary Knew: A Biography of Mary from Ancient Scriptures by Irene Baron is an account of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Irene Baron has used ancient and biblical texts to produce a very personable read. Mary Knew is not designed to be read instead of the Bible, but alongside it. We know very little about the life of Mary, but Irene Baron has pulled everything together to produce this fabulous and very approachable account. Mary becomes a fully rounded 3D character in her own right, showing she is more than just the mother of Jesus. Set apart before she was born, the reader ‘feels’ the anguish, shame and desire experienced by Mary’s parents as they longed for a child. We share their elation when their hopes come true. Mary was a much loved child, dedicated to God and used in a way her parents never imagined. Irene Baron has produced a very accessible for all account of the life of Mary. It is fascinating and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I could recommend it for Christians young and old, as well as those exploring the faith and those who just want to know more about the historical figure of Mary. I received this book for free. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own. Julia Wilson

THE MINDREACHER SERIES - Book I scheduled for publication May 2019.
This series of international adventure books creates a world that does not exist according to our "current knowledge of reality." Such speculative fiction changes over time as knowledge and technology change. This style of writing can be a precursor to future facts.
MINDREACHER
Terrorists plan to use nuclear bombs to destroy the United States with atomic radiation. VESPER, the President’s classified & secret Virtual ExtraSensory Perception Experimental Research project hidden in corridors under JFK runways, must locate a “mindreacher” to find terrorists. Able to read minds over great distances, mindreachers were born in South Africa decades ago. Frightened parents hid them around the world. Will a mindreacher be powerful enough to fly over a city and find terrorists? Selected international military personnel are trained to recognize psychic events and hone in on the event’s human catalyst, hopefully a mindreacher. Minor telepath, teacher Ana Masterson, is discovered and teamed with elite warrior Major Jonathon Coulter, USMC, a Shaolin-trained martial arts master. They become embroiled in a perilous global search for mindreachers.
Females of all ages will be thrilled learning about an innocent, middle-aged, telepathic heroine entangled in the intrigues of the government and her dangerous international search for a mindreacher. Male readers will empathize with the elite U.S. Marine Corps officer assigned to protect a reluctant telepath during death threatening events on land, water and in the air. Readers should expect surprises. Everyone will enjoy the humor.
The initial action-packed thriller in the mindreacher series blends current and future technology with paranormal activity. Not yet published, it has already attracted a broad spectrum of followers of all ages. The international and multicultural aspects of the novels heighten the reader's awareness of existing countries, cultures, religions, people and technology. New York Gotham Writers workshop participants and others have compared "Mindreacher-The Jo'Burg Project' to a cross between the genres of the Clive Cussler and Indiana Jones.
