New Children’s Book Brings Whimsical World To Life, One Image at a Time- book by Olympia Eddy

The beautifully illustrated story, published by Dog Ear Publishing, unfolds piece by piece, with three clues paired with a mysterious image on each new page. For instance, a close-up image of curtains brings the following clues – “I can darken the inside world…I stay close to the wall…I am velvety soft” – and asks the question, “What am I?” When the images are combined at the end of this fascinating work, they form a complete picture that accompanies the story, a glimpse into another world.

In Mysterious View, author and illustrator Olympia Eddy uses bold brush strokes and vivid colors to create striking images of the ordinary and the extraordinary. Young children will enjoy the intense colors of the illustrations; while older children will test their critical thinking by combining the text with the image on each page and using inference to come to a logical conclusion. The final whimsical drawing brings all the elements together and inspires the reader’s imagination.

A graduate of Clemson University, Olympia Eddy has a background in graphics and a love for children’s literature. She created the idea for Mysterious View while working with kindergarten and fifth-grade students at T.C. Henderson Elementary School, in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. She is currently working on the next book in the Mysterious Series, Mysterious Circus, where mythical creatures gather.

New Release an Inspiring Memoir about a Girl Searching for Answers and Healing- book by Susan Gore

A desperate teenage mother gives her infant daughter up to an older Christian couple. Thus begins the inspiring true story of author Susan Gore’s life. Under the strict guidance of Nanny and Papa Martin, whose own children have long since left the nest, little Susan tries her best to be a good Christian girl. Unfortunately, Nanny takes the mantra of “spare the rod and spoil the child” quite literally and Susan often has her legs whipped and spends a lot of time in a scary, dark closet being punished. Conscious as a young child–after a very abrupt and hurtful revelation from Nanny herself–that Nanny and Papa Martin are not her real parents, Susan can’t help but feel like a misfit. She feels terrified at the prospect of not being good enough for Jesus when the rapture comes. With thoughts like these, how can a girl be truly happy?

Susan spends her life searching for answers, and in the meantime gets married and has a child. Finally she finds fulfillment in the field of Natural Healing, where she experiences her own healing. Later in life, she discovers the Universe doesn’t look at the names of religions or rules at all, it’s what inside the mind, heart and spirit that matters.

A Blessing of Sunshine and Wrath, publised by Dog Ear Publishing, is a memoir told from the perspective of the adult Susan, who has undergone years of therapy and soul searching and has come to forgive, even love her adoptive mother. She writes with love and occasional humor. Readers will be moved and inspired by her life story.

New Release Reveals the Power of the Pursuit of Happiness, Fulfillment and Joy- book David Kuenzli

Is it possible to find deeper happiness, even in the midst of life’s most painful and difficult challenges? This is the question author David Kuenzli began to explore after the death of his wife, Donna, from cancer. His work aims to help readers discover steps they can take to create an enduring sense of happiness, even when faced with suffering and adversity. Using a unique and original paradigm for understanding and creating deeper happiness, the author describes the five pools (levels) of happiness and the turbulent waters to avoid on their journey to deeper happiness. The pools include pleasure, success, meaning, purpose and joy.

Diving Deeper, published by Dog Ear Publishing, helps readers discover ways to savor life more deliciously, achieve a balanced sense of success, create a more meaningful life through developing “life passions” (something as simple as stamp-collecting or as complex as working to solve the problem of homelessness in one’s community) and finding one’s “heart passion” (life purpose) through which one seeks to make a difference in the world.

The author, a marriage and family therapist for more than 30 years, became interested in moving away from a traditional psychology that focused primarily on what makes people “a little less unhappy and dysfunctional” to an uplifting focus on what makes people more deeply content and joyful. Kuenzli offers a variety of insights learned from a new branch of psychology called  “positive psychology,” whose purpose is “the study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.”

The book also includes more than three-dozen heart-warming essays written by Kuenzli’s friends, who reflect on what life passions bring them joy. Through their inspiring essays, the author  learned first hand “the truth that deep contentment and joy can slowly arise out of profound loss, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.”

New Non-Fiction Release Provides In-Depth Discussion of Sin and Redemption- book by James B. Hoffman

This “work of love” is a complex, comprehensive delve into each chapter of the New Testament.    Over the course of two years, the author has dedicated himself to a survey of the Bible, focusing on the topic of sin—specifically, “who will be saved, who won’t be saved, and how to be saved.”  He challenges readers to tackle this study in hopes of helping Christians understand God’s expectations of them.

The book, published by Dog Ear Publishing, starts with a comprehensive review of sin in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and progresses to a chapter by chapter painstaking meditation on the nature of sin and the consequences of sin, as well as what a Christian must do to avoid sin.  The language is approachable and the lesson is meaningful.

James Hoffman was saved at age 35, and has dedicated himself to the teachings of God since then.  He has since then spent hours every day studying the word of God, and has studied at the Faith Tech International Correspondence Bible School.  It is his hope that Sin and Life in the Kingdom of God will help to “plant you firmly on the Rock of Jesus Christ.”
