A lot of people can write a book of "how-tos." What Kim Eley has created with From Mess to Message is a "how-to with heart." Through her humor, gentleness, straight talk, and vast expertise, she takes you on a journey. This book is much more than an outline of what to do and when to do it-it's a handbook for making decisions, for how to keep moving forward when you get stuck, and for remembering why you're writing your book in the first place.
How do you avoid the sand bars in life? In "Who Let the Crabs Out? Navigating the Waters of Life," Captain Jim Gordon will teach you how. Shared stories of what went wrong on boats delight and inform.
While "Reflections of the Heart" is Anthony Moore's debut book of poetry, he has been writing beautiful poetry for decades. This collection includes poetry about love, beauty, identity, family, and what it means to be alive and loving your life.Throughout his poems, Anthony recognizes the beauty that lies within all of us. He confronts judgement from others. He challenges that what our society thinks is beautiful is really an illusion. Through deftly written poems, he captures the excitement of the first - and second - steps a child takes, the responsibility of a strict but loving father, and the pride of a parent who adores his daughter.
It takes guts to stand up in public and tell a personal story. Rumor has it that more people are afraid of speaking in public than of dying.Starting in October 2016, nine speakers met from 7:00 to 10:00 one night a week and worked on their stories. Speakers Joan Bowling, Shirley T. Burke, Angela L. Edwards, Dorothy Erlanger, Captain Jim Gordon, Yolanda Gomez Gray, Elizabeth Louis, Shanna Kabatznick, and Pam Rambo met with Storyteller Channel's Gayle Turner.And even though many of the group were already experienced speakers, they weren't interested in public humiliation. And that included the rehearsal process; so, the only feedback permitted was the following: What you specifically liked. What you'd like to hear more about. If you got lost in the story, where did you get lost and what didn't you understand. That was it. Nobody was allowed to suggest changes to another's story. As is human nature, everyone seemed to want to, at one time or another, but they quickly caught on to the wisdom of the rules of the game. From night one, the group worked on structuring the stories. The goal was for the stories to last no longer than ten minutes each. Some were successful in this goal, others less so, but the group's primary goal was to structure stories in such a way that their family and friends would ask them to tell their stories again instead of rolling their eyes and praying they'd stop talking. On November 29, 2016, these nine speakers presented in front of a packed audience. Some of the tellers confided later that they had been so anxious they had considered not performing. But in the end, the night flew by and everyone in the audience had a grand time. The group never tired of listening to these stories during their rehearsals, nor during their performance at the Showcase, nor when we watch them on Storytellers Channel. As such, we feel confident that you, too, will enjoy them as you read them here. Please enjoy their stories.

This comforting poem for children ages 3 and up is based on the 23rd Psalm and explores the relationship between sheep and shepherds in simple terms. It highlights the special honor granted only to sheep. This understanding creates a gentle introduction to Jesus. Beautiful watercolor illustrations by Malinda Raines accompany the text. In addition there is a list of definitions for some of the words that can be used when questions indicate a desire to learn more.The 23rd Psalm was written by David, King of Israel. It is thought by many to be the most beautiful poem ever written. David's relationship with God was shaped by his understanding of the care a shepherd gives his flock, and he knew this so well because he had served as shepherd to his own father's sheep. What was well known to David, that sheep are defenseless and dependent, was universally understood at the time he wrote it but few of us today have first-hand knowledge of sheep. Because sheep have no means of defense, they are always nervous and fearful of attack by predators; the presence of a protective shepherd can meet their need and alleviate fear and worry. David lived one thousand years before Jesus yet he precisely described the role Jesus would fulfill as shepherd to mankind. Understanding this becomes a starting point on the journey toward understanding all of God's plan for us.
