Yes, it’s true.  The little village of Amble, Michigan – is named after me. A Scandinavian immigrant from Norway. A pioneer preacher. A bachelor. I can hardly believe it. I was one of many Scandinavian settlers that came to America in the 1800s looking for a new life. Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes came to homestead in this land that reminded them of the pine forests and fjords back home, but also gave the opportunity for lower costs of living and greater freedoms. For me, it was a matter of ministry. I sought a place in which to happily serve God – and He granted me that desire of my heart. Abundantly. After coming to America in 1871 and attending seminary, it was not long before I moved to Michigan where I planted and pastored up to seven churches at the same time. Altogether, I was the spiritual shepherd of over 1,000 souls. That was something I never could have imagined.  And I did this faithfully for more than 53 years. Tragedies, tornados and changing times did their best to stop me. But by God’s grace, none of these succeeded. I retired happily in 1927. This account is a journey through my experiences.

Following the crucifixion of Yeshua the Nazarene, all Jerusalem is abuzz with fear and confusion.  His disciples are in hiding. Jewish leaders worry that his followers will steal his body and then make miraculous claims. Roman authorities flex their muscles to keep the peace. And the women who supported Yeshua's ministry, the women who remained all day at Golgotha witnessing the agonizing death of their Promised One, the women who did not hide, what about them? During the 48 hours following his crucifixion, these women and others who were among his followers, gather at a cottage in Jerusalem's lower city, seeking comfort or reassurance, or simply someone else who shares their grief. As women often do after a tragedy, these Yeshua followers bring food to share along with personal stories about their encounters with him. In their grief, they tell how Yeshua healed and helped and drew them in as he spread his message about the coming of the Kingdom of God. What can they do now that all is lost?

(working title: Prayer Through Pictures: Helping Children of All Abilities Pray and Seek God) As parents, we do our best to train a child in the way they should go. We teach them manners, responsibility, and most importantly, we teach them about God. For most parents, we teach them by modeling and taking our children to church and Sunday School. We teach them to pray, by having them memorize the words to simple familiar prayers. Wouldn’t it be nice to help ensure that your child understands the meaning of those words they are saying to God? That’s what Prayer Through Pictures is designed to do.  As a special education teacher, and mother of two, Danielle McManus has worked to create a way to make prayer more accessible for children. Young children learn to attach meaning to words by labeling the pictures and visuals in the world around them. Activities in our Christian lives, like prayer, should be no exception.

title: Adam's Search for a Partner: A High-Contrast Board Book

author: Natalia E

category: nonfiction • subcategory: children • date submitted: 2.10.2023 • author id: EmNaAd1023

word count: 52

Adam is looking for a partner in the Garden of Eden. As he names each animal God created, he considers their personality and what traits he’ll need in a partner. Alas, no animal is suitable: Hedgehog? Too prickly. Quail? Too showy. Water buffalo? Too grumpy. Adam keeps searching and searching. Until God creates a perfect partner.   Illustrating Genesis 2:20, this book vividly depicts the animals using high-contrast, engaging drawings. High-contrast images are appealing to babies’ developing eyes. The illustrations and lyrical text thus appeal to even the youngest of children, helping them witness the range of God’s creative endeavors and the incredible value of a helpmeet.   Since Adam’s search is based on the animals’ values and traits, the book implicitly introduces children to the crucial notion that Psalms 31:10 articulates: a virtuous and capable character is more precious than rubies.

Amid worldwide upheaval, believers and non-believers alike are asking profound questions. That's what happens when something or someone you have depended on for guidance, structure, community, comfort, identity, and meaning has been exposed to the light, shaken to the core, and found to be unreliable and untrustworthy. Whether you are a believer in Jesus, a faith deconstructor, a seeker, a skeptic, or an opponent, What is Church? will inform and help resolve your longing for answers, truth, meaning, and belonging while plumbing the depths of divinely revealed knowledge. Drawing on a wealth of relationships, personal experience, study, travel, stories, and a deep love for Jesus and His Church, Dub Karriker shares valuable insights on the Church from a different perspective, revealing the Church's place in history, the present and the future. Rather than walking the well-worn path of two thousand years of best intentions and church misdeeds, Karriker reveals the Church as intended by its founder, Jesus and His Apostles. Whether you are in church, hurt by church, on the way out, looking in from the outside, or just curious, What is Church? is a fascinating, soul-stirring journey of inquiry and answers.

word count: 1130

Did you know that there’s approximately 4 million homeschoolers in America? That’s nearly 7% of all school-aged children. Take a look at the books out there for this market... there's not much. This children's book aims to show children normalcy in their lifestyle. One that's growing in popularity, especially amongst Christians.  Dennis’ First Day of School (at Home) follows the narrator his older sister Olive through their first day of homeschool. Olive has homeschooled for a few years at this point, but this is Dennis’ first day sitting at the school table (the kitchen table) with grade-level tasks. There’s gentle guidance, almost invisibly so, for new homeschool parents on what a “normal” school day might look like. The funny thing about being a new homeschooler means that parents and children learn together until they find a rhythm that best suits everyone. The plot weaves ideas of how a work-at-home parent can navigate around homeschool as well as introductory ideas about unit studies and morning baskets – a homeschool-specific idea. But most importantly, Dennis and his family normalize an increasingly growing educational choice. The characters were developed in a way that gives creative liberties to the publisher and illustrator to choose characters that are best suited for the market – these figures can either be animals or human.

Brief Description: Working title: “There is a River” Carly Green does not clap along with the rest of the congregation as her husband lowers their newest convert, a beautiful blond divorcee, into the river. As the pastor’s wife she should be happy the church is growing. Why wouldn’t it be?  Rick is a strong leader, people trust him. But when the woman in his arms kisses him—on the lips—she fears the worst. Only Carly knows how far her husband has veered off the path they’ve traveled together for nearly twenty years. As the only full-time career woman in the church, she feels left out and her loneliness intensifies as her elder son appears headed toward homosexuality, and the younger one shows signs of autism. Instead of supporting her, people she’s known for ages drift even farther away. At the point of losing her marriage as well as her faith, Christians who are more apt to listen to her than to judge, begin showing up everywhere. But to get her family back Carly must decide whether faith pushing mountains into the sea is mere hyperbole or her only hope.

word count: 112000

It is 1524, and Europe is in flames. The Church is fracturing, revolution is brewing, and society is changing rapidly. Three authors who shaped this new world with their pens—Martin Luther, Desiderius Erasmus, and Philipp Melanchthon—will now be shaped by it in turn. When the pope and King Henry VIII of England pressure Erasmus to take a public stand against Luther, both authors will be forced to wrestle with literal and figurative demons. Erasmus is haunted by his illegitimate birth and an experience of same-sex attraction that left him feeling ashamed. Luther struggles with the rejection of the Church and his own father, even as he suffers from a crippling anxiety disorder. Melanchthon, Luther’s associate and a long-time admirer of Erasmus, is increasingly caught in the middle, forced to choose between two men he venerates or be torn asunder. Enemies arise: a former colleague of Luther’s challenges him for leadership of the reform movement, a figure from Erasmus’ past warns he might reveal the scholar’s youthful misdeeds, and a Church official threatens Melanchthon with death if he does not recant his views. The three men’s lives and fears are woven together as events spiral out of their collective control. As the story wraps up, all three men are reminded of their mortality in ways that heighten their fears and reveal their priorities. This is a book about the things that terrify us, the battles we wage, and the hope that gives us strength.

title: First Token: A Story of Life, Love, & Tennis

author: Howard Z

category: fiction • subcategory: romance • date submitted: 12.1.2022 • author id: ZoHoFi30422

word count: 91290

Set in 1956, First Token is a hybrid novel, an unforgettable love story within the backdrop of historical fiction. A touch of enchantment, a dash of Judeo-Christian spirituality, and a well disguised twist await the reader. First Token is insightful, clever, and witty. When the central relationship is revealed, a touch of enchantment elevates the tale; the final chapters memorialize the story to unforgettable. The embraceable stories of the secondary relationships weaving in and out are compelling. Buster, an orange tabby, is a prime confidant to the protagonist, Hillard Abraham. Token’s thematic undercurrents of tennis and real estate are extensions of character development. A deeper image, a first token, a universal symbol of affection, is a central symbol. A tennis sweater, a gift from Hillard to Veronica Cabot, takes on a deeper meaning given the symbolism associated with Hillard Abraham. The novel’s social message is relevant, the relationships between black and white characters are honest and refreshing. Jackie Robinson was instrumental in bridging the gap between the classes. The subway series in New York, the pinnacle for America’s national pastime, is viewed in Token from one extraordinary October afternoon in 1956.  In 1956, Americans believed they could accomplish anything, people need those stories now. Token is written in the cadence and style of the day, a slow burn, exquisitely written. First Token is the antithesis of current media tendencies, people tend to settle for what other people want them to have. Token is wholesome, and yet Token has brief encounters with extraordinary events within the realm of 1950s normal.

Life has it out for Payton McCrory. At first, it seems as though she has simply been neglected by the Powers That Be (if such things even exist). With nothing particularly exceptional about her (except for her notorious klutziness), Payton goes unnoticed by the popular crowd, professors, and guys. But what else is new? Her own father didn’t want her. This early exposure to the harsh world has made Payton a cynical underachiever. But when Payton’s family is afflicted by betrayal and a life-changing diagnosis, Payton is convinced that Someone Upstairs must be playing a cruel joke with her life. It gets even worse when something threatens the relationship between her and Wyatt, the close friend who has a tighter hold on Payton’s heart than she realizes. With the help of her boy-crazy best friend, Payton embarks on The Sweet Experiment and ends up getting much more than she bargained for. Along the way, she finds herself increasingly surrounded by religious people—a new roommate, an Iranian professor, a guy at a party. They aren’t the judgey Christians Payton has heard about—but people who seem to know a different God … One who just might actually care about nobodies like Payton.

When at last there seems to be a new day dawning on his shadowed life, Paul finds himself invited into a brand-new world where good and evil come to life in light and darkness. Pulled between the nightmarish shades and the angelic lumen, Paul will never be the same as he learns how difficult it is to walk in the light without casting a shadow.
