WHY DO WE DO THAT WHICH WE KNOW NOT TO DO?...you know the rest!

Transforming Fear with Love: Trusting the Gift of Grace,  by J. Claude Huguley

 170 pages, 6"x9", $9.89       Kindle $3.49

  Being Human Is An Amazing Gift

Why do we continue to find ways to misuse this gift and mess up our most important relationships?

Why do we continue to engage in destructive behaviors and attitudes—dominating, grasping, lying and controlling, when experience teaches that these create their own insecurities and rob us of fulfillment?


What if the Giver of this gift is not a god of FEAR but is truly a God of LOVE?  What if the Giver’s intention for creation is a renewing dance of giving, receiving, and giving again with trust?

Transforming FEAR With LOVE helps us name the FEAR that supports and fuels the relational destructiveness and invites us to embrace the Giver and the gracing LOVE that heals and transforms it.   

Drawing from insights found within biblical stories of the Christian tradition and personal experience, Transforming FEAR With LOVE brings a fresh framework for helping both Christians and non-Christians in understanding spiritual faith and embracing the renewing gift of spiritual recovery and authentic living.

CP DIDN'T STOP SUZANNE FROM LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST: A Posthumous Poetry collection and Memoir

This Store is Closed on Sunday: Poetry of Suzanne Howe (Beck), Lovingly Compiled posthumously by Robert Beck

 

Paperback 122 pages, $8.99     Kindle, full-color, $2.99 

Explore the hurts of a young woman with cerebral palsy as she searches for love and affirmation.

Share the pain of soul-searching as her friends enjoy normal relationships and raising families.

Suzanne Howe (Beck) triumphed over her physical disability and emotional struggles with humor, friendliness, and genuine concern for others. In her poetry, she found healing and peace, and her spirit lives on in all who read it. Lovingly preserved, compiled, and published posthumously by husband, Robert Beck.

This Store is Closed on Sunday is filled with poems that range from love, travel, humor, and the day-to-day struggles of any young woman, not only someone with cerebral palsy. At the end, you find a section of personal photos and mementos, including query letters the author sent to magazines of the day. A touching and enjoyable read for lovers of poetry and prose.


 

HOW WE HELPED: Robert found his wife's poems, some handwritten and some typed, and needed TAM The Author's Mentor to help him bring her work to the world. TAM digitized the materials (typed them up), formatted a lovely poetry/memoir, and Robert was able to honor his wife for her amazing life and touching poetry.

BASEBALL KIDS LOVE JESUS, TOO! A Devotional For Kids

Catching Jesus: Daily Devotions with a Baseball Theme by Amy McNeill

 

Babe Ruth said, "Baseball was, is, and always will be to me, the best game in the world."

My bet is that if your child loves baseball, he or she feels the same way! Catching Jesus is a book that captures the heart of every baseball player, coach or fan. Filled with twenty Bible-based devotions, Catching Jesus is simple enough for kids to understand but interesting enough for adults to enjoy. If you love baseball, you will love Catching Jesus!

 

 Amy McNeill was distributing these small, self-pubbed books herself for a long time, with literally thousands being sold. When she came to The Author's Mentor, TAM formatted the interior, tweaked her already terrific photo-cover, and VOILA! A wonderfully fun and inspirational devotional for kids of all ages, and baseball-minded adults.

DOES YOUR IMAGINATION CARRY YOU AWAY? Henry's does!

TAM ILLUSTRATES!
The Author's Mentor, Ellen Sallas, was asked to illustrate a book for author Collett Keel. Her book, HENRY'S 'MAGINATION was contracted to be published by Little Roni Publishers, LLC, but Collett had to bring her own illustrations. So here we are!
HENRY'S 'MAGINATION is ready to buy in print and Kindle!



Henry has a HUGE imagination and sometimes it gets him into trouble. When he repeatedly refuses to tell his mom the truth, but instead tells her his 'maginations are true, Henry develops the funniest hair on his ears and arms, and eventually gigantic feet! All because he pretends his imagination is real. Silly boy. Once he figures out the difference, Henry's odd growths disappear and he uses his imagination for fun.

Full-color children's picture book, reading level 2nd grade.
36 pages, 8" x 10", softcover  $14.54
Kindle $4.99
