Joel Colbeck Introduces Happy Harvest Day! A Beginner's Guide, Offering a Faith-Centered Alternative to Halloween

Sep 24, 2026


Author invites families, churches, and communities to celebrate a season of prayer, blessings, fellowship, and outreach


Tomah, Wisconsin Sep 24, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Author, inventor, public speaker, and media host Joel "Train" Colbeck, MBA is introducing readers to a new way of approaching the final Saturday of October through his book, Happy Harvest Day! A Beginner's Guide. The book presents the idea of a proposed holiday centered on prayer, generosity, community fellowship, and sharing blessings with others.

Rather than focusing on traditional Halloween activities, Happy Harvest Day! encourages participants to spend the season praying for other people so they may "harvest" blessings from their Heavenly Father. The concept can also be celebrated through gatherings and festivities held on the last Saturday of October, providing families, churches, and communities with an opportunity to come together around a positive, faith-centered message.

Colbeck says the inspiration for the book came from the extensive marketing and promotion surrounding Halloween each fall. As a Christian, he wanted to offer an alternative that would provide a more positive focus while creating opportunities for people to bless others and share their faith.

The book is designed particularly for Christians who want practical ways to serve their communities, strengthen their churches, reach others, and put their faith into action.

"You say you want to serve the Lord, but you don't know how or don't have the time or resources," Colbeck writes. Happy Harvest Day! presents a framework intended to bring those aspirations together through prayer, fellowship, service, and outreach.

The author believes the concept can serve multiple purposes: encouraging believers to become a positive influence in their communities, giving churches an opportunity to engage with their neighbors, and creating a setting where people can share the Christian faith through acts of kindness and generosity.

Colbeck has also featured Happy Harvest Day! on an episode of Healthy Rails, his show and YouTube channel, where the book and its concept received dedicated discussion.

An author, inventor, public speaker, and host, Colbeck brings together his professional experience and Christian faith in his writing and public outreach. Through Happy Harvest Day! A Beginner's Guide, he invites readers to consider how a simple idea of praying for others and intentionally seeking opportunities to bless them can become the foundation for a meaningful community celebration.

Michelin Guide returns for second PH restaurant selection

MANILA, Philippines — The Michelin Guide will return to the Philippines to unveil its second restaurant selection for Manila and Environs and Cebu, coinciding with the global gastronomy community’s celebration of the Michelin Star’s 100th anniversary. The Michelin Guide Restaurant Ceremony will be held on Oct. 29 at the Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts. The 2027 edition builds on the inaugural Philippine selection, continuing the guide’s recognition of the country’s culinary heritage, hospitality and emerging generation of culinary talent. The ceremony will also highlight the distinctions awarded by the guide, including One, Two and Three Michelin Stars, Bib Gourmand and Michelin Selected. The Michelin Star recognizes culinary excellence, with restaurants receiving one, two or three stars based on the level of achievement. Bib Gourmand recognizes establishments offering good-quality cooking at good value, while Michelin  Selected establishments meet the guide’s standards and are considered worthy of a visit. The 2027 ceremony carries added significance as the Michelin Star marks its 100th anniversary. The star rating system was introduced in 1926 and has since become one of the guide’s distinctions for recognizing restaurants that deliver outstanding dining experiences. Each restaurant included in the selection is independently assessed by anonymous Michelin Guide inspectors using five universal criteria: the quality of the ingredients, mastery of cooking techniques, harmony of flavors, personality of the cuisine, and consistency both over time and across the menu. The inspectors’ assessments are applied across the guide’s destinations, providing a consistent basis for evaluating restaurants regardless of location or culinary style. The Oct. 29 ceremony will also feature a curated food and beverage experience prepared by a selection of local and international chefs recognized by the Michelin Guide. The event is invitation-only but will be accessible to a wider audience through a livestream on the Michelin Guide Asia YouTube channel.
