About the Book

Book: Glitter and the Grouch (Romance in Valiant Book Three. It can be read as a standalone.)

Author: Mary Pat Johns

Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Release date: September 3, 2024

Silas and Nat don’t get along. Neither can they leave each other alone. When a prank goes terribly wrong at their workplace, they face an impossible choice.

Either they compete in a canoe race to prove they can work together or forfeit their futures at Peeps. Quitting isn’t the norm for either of them. Good thing, because their boss isn’t backing down an inch. He assures them they can accomplish anything they set their minds to, even if it’s 3 days and 260 miles of river.

There’s only one catch—they’ll have to be in the same boat.

Will they reach deep inside to find out what they’re made of? Or will they succumb to the physical rigors of the event and the machinations of Nat’s controlling ex?

About the Author

Mary Pat Johns’ writing career began once she retired from years of teaching speech and writing. She’s written devotions for an online publication and had short stories published by Chicken Soup for the Soul. She currently writes a weekly faith column for the local newspaper. Countin’ On Jesse, her first novel debuted in 2023, and book 2 of the Valiant series, Lovin’ On Red, released in release in 2024. God put it in her heart to tell stories of brave veterans and their reintegration into civilian life after suffering the traumas of war.

She lives in South Texas with her husband and their two dapple dachshunds. Her grown children and five grandchildren are useful sorts who keep her grounded with her reading/writing obsession. You can find her at the gym, at her computer, or reading a good book.

More from Mary

I wrote Glitter and the Grouch for two reasons. The first reason was peace of mind. LOL. Two minor characters from Books 1 & 2 of the Valiant series INSISTED on having their own story. Rather, Nat insisted and Silas grudgingly followed. He hated the idea at first, but all’s well that ends well.

The second reason is I absolutely LOVE the Texas Water Safari and follow it every year. When I talked to a friend who competes, he wasn’t sure how I would write a book about it. When I explained it would be a story about two people who fall in love during the race, he grinned from ear to ear and said that scenario had happened a few times.

MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed this lighthearted story where two people must learn to work together. Nat and Silas are always pranking each other . When one prank goes too far at work they face reprimand by the boss.

Nat is fun and full of determination to get promoted at her job. After her shenanigans she might have lost her chance to advance. I loved her relationship with her brother Jesse. He is always looking out for her. I loved when he told her, “Let the right man come to you Nat. Forget about all the others. Watch God bring him right to you.” Those words are comforting to Nat as she tries to forget about her ex boyfriend.

Silas has been working hard at the same place Nat works at. He is really good with children who may be developmentally challenged. His patience is sincere and the smile on those sweet faces of children who need extra help bring him joy. He is now ready to take on new responsibilities at his job, but that could change since the silly prank Nat and him were involved in.

They soon find out their punishment when they are ordered to work together in a canoe race that will test their strength, faith and teamwork . I liked how knowledgeable the author was about canoes and the race that that calls for endurance and teamwork.

The story follows these two on an inspiring journey that has a bit of intrigue in it. Obstacles will come their way, but as they learn to trust each other, they build a bond that grows slowly. The race is fun to follow and I loved how Nat and Silas showed growth not only in trusting each other but God as well.

More from Keon

How would you like to get a personal letter from someone? Most people like real mail, especially if its from a person who truly cares about you. What if that letter not only shared their affection but it revealed the answers to some of life’s most profound questions? God has written you such a letter, the Bible! Actually, the Bible is a collection of all God’s written messages to you.

This fact was impressed on me as I read the New Testament book of Hebrews. It opens with a bold statement. God had given messages to humanity in ancient times through prophets and angels. Finally, God sent Jesus, the Ultimate Messenger with the ultimate message that is vital for every person.

This captured my attention and made me wonder how the previous messages in the Bible led up to Jesus and His message? Researching that question took me on an exciting journey of discovery, encouragement, and warning in God’s Word. The result is my book, Have You Heard from God Lately? It summarizes major Bible themes to help you navigate the amazing Book. I hope it inspires you to open God’s letter and realize just how much He cares for you!

MY REVIEW

I don’t know how many readers take time to read the introduction in a book, but don’t skip over this one. It shares different ways God may speak to someone with scriptures and Biblical figures from the Bible. This encouraged to want to dive into this study right away,

Each chapter has a different topic with scriptures and questions at the end. I liked how easy it was to understand and was able to apply it to my own walk. We can’t forget how God told Eve not to do something very specific. He wanted to see if Eve would obey and follow Him. This illustration shows us that we have a choice. God never makes us do anything. We choose what to do and if we choose a path away from God there could be consequences.

Chapter twenty for me was very powerful. It reminds us that we are not God. We need to be on guard everyday that the enemy doesn’t try to isolate us from God. Remember we are not in control. God is here to help us, guide us and have a relationship with us. We must learn to trust Him with everything.

The book is very helpful and gives us more understanding of who God is. Have you heard Him whisper to you? Do you take time to be in His presence? I always search for a deeper relationship with Him. We all must take time to listen fir His voice, follow his directions and trust him so we may live a life that honors Him.

As they face the trials and adventures of life on the trail, he finds himself open to the idea of marriage for the first time in many years.

A History of Buttons

In my Christian Historical Romance, my main character, Anne Forbes, is a tailor and seamstress. When she arrives in Philadelphia from Scotland in 1753, she visits several shops and is amazed by the huge supply of buttons.

Buttons have been around for 3,000 years. Made from bone, horn, wood, metal, and seashells, they didn’t fasten anything, but were worn for decoration.

The first buttons to be used as fasteners were connected through a loop of thread. The button and buttonhole arrived in Europe in 1200, brought back by the Crusaders.

The French, who called the button a bouton for bud or bouter to push, established the Button Makers Guild in 1250. Still used for adornment, the buttons they produced were beautiful works of art.

By the mid-1300s, tailors fashioned garments with rows of buttons with matching buttonholes. Some outfits were adorned with thousands of buttons, making it necessary for people to hire professional dressers. Buttons became such a craze that the Church denounced them as the devil’s snare, referring to the ladies in their button-fronted dresses.

In 1520 for a meeting between King Francis I of France and King Henry VIII of England, King Francis’ clothing was bedecked with over 13,000 buttons, and King Henry’s clothing was similarly weighed down with buttons.

In the 16th century, the Puritans condemned the over-adornment of buttons as sinful, and soon the number of buttons required to be fashionable diminished, though they were made from gold, ivory, and diamonds.

By the mid-1600s, button makers used silver, ceramics, and silk and often hand painted buttons with portraits or scenery.

The late 17th century saw the beginning of the production by French tailors of thread buttons, little balls of thread. This angered the button artisans so much that they pressured the government to pass a law fining tailors for making thread buttons. The button makers even wanted homes and wardrobes searched and suggested that fines be levied against anyone wearing thread buttons. But in la Guerre des Boutons, it’s not clear that their demands went beyond fining of tailors.

Towards the end of the 1700s in Europe, big metallic buttons came into fashion. At this time, Napoleon introduced the use of sleeve buttons on tunics. This time period saw the development of the double-breasted jacket. When the outside of the jacket was soiled, the wearer would unbutton it, turn the soiled surface to the inside, and re-button.

Thread buttons were used on men’s shirts and other undergarments from the late 17th into the early 19th century. Cheaper, they wouldn’t break when laundresses scrubbed and beat the material. They were also used on shifts and undergarments because they were soft and comfortable. Other types of thread buttons were death head buttons, star buttons, basket buttons, and Dorset buttons. Some said that death head buttons were called that because they resembled a skull and crossbones, memento mori, a reminder that life is short and should be lived as well as possible. Dorset buttons originated in Dorset in southern England where they became a cottage industry. Families, prison inmates, and orphans were employed in the manufacture of thousands of Dorset buttons each year, which were used throughout the UK and exported all over the world.

Bone button molds, slightly domed on one side and flat on the other, were common in the mid to late 18th century. Button molds were used to make both cloth and thread (passementerie) covered buttons.

Horn buttons were used mostly for spatterdashes and gaitered trousers. These strong durable buttons were competitive in price with other types but available in limited numbers in the 18th century since the making of them was slow.

Many colonial American buttons were made from seashells, wood, wax, and animal bones. The bones were boiled for 12 hours, cut into small pieces, shaved around the edges and had a hole punched through them with an awl. The shape was up to the maker — round, oval, square, rectangular, or octagonal.

Brass buttons, functional and ornamental, were also popular in colonial America. In 1750 in Philadelphia, a German immigrant, Caspar Wistar, made brass buttons guaranteed for seven years. He later opened the first successful glass making factory in the colonies.

Please visit their website at www.wmboothdraper.com where you’ll find a treasure trove of books about 17th and 18th century fashion — shoes, slippers, hats, bonnets, buttons and trimmings, etc., and Packet books about sewing. Fantastic resource. Thank you, William Booth Drapers.)

MY REVIEW

This is a wonderful book that explores traveling by wagon on treacherous land. The story captures what it was like during the 1700s. Families were excited to reach their destination but soon they will find challenges that will test their faith. It was easy to imagine myself on the wagon train as the dust surround the travelers.

There is tragedy as a disease spreads throughout the wagon train before they are ready to start their journey. I liked how several characters stepped up to help the sick. Anne is one of those who helps others even when she suffers a great loss. The author does a great job of illustrating the hardships travelers faced and how Anne was a strong and humble person. I liked how she makes a hard decision which puts her on a path to a new beginning.

Michael is a good man who has seen pain and loss in his life. When he helps Anne care for the sick, they form a relationship. He has such a good heart and is there to help others in need. I liked that he was never selfish and always thought of others first.

The story follows a group of people who long for a better life and hope for the future. The faith element in the story is strong and shows how the characters turned to God in time of need. It is a beautiful story where faith is tested, people work together and overcoming obstacles that bring them closer to each other and God. The ending is beautifully written and givers readers an illustration of how God helps others forgive, find hope and understand unconditional love.

“Sometimes things are more valuable if they are difficult to get.”

A Perfect Flock Kick-Off Package

About the Book

Book: A Perfect Flock

Author: Mike Bogue

Genre: Christian Science Fiction

Release date: October 26, 2023

Tuck Jameson vows to stop his brother Clay from joining The Body, a religious cult that uses nanotechnology to turn its members into Christian automatons.

But Clay disappears—and in three days, his nanotechnology conversion will be complete. Desperate to find Clay, Tuck enlists the aid of former high school mentor Adam Shimura, now a black ops agent with potentially mixed motives.

Brother Moody, the cult’s Chief Elder, mobilizes his acolytes against Tuck. Worse, a shocking prophecy ups the ante, making Tuck realize the stakes involve not only him and Clay, but all of America—and perhaps, the world.

About the Author

Why does Mike Bogue write speculative fiction? Because he finds it a perfect genre to explore timeless themes and timely science, as well as the collision between technology and faith. When he isn’t writing, he enjoys watching Godzilla movies, singing 1960s pop tunes, and munching Fiber One brownies. Single and retired, Mike lives with his cat Bendi in Western Arkansas, where he and Bendi regularly hold contests to see who can nap the longest in a single day.

More from Mike

“If brainwashing means losing my free will for God’s sake, so be it.”

Thus says a recruit for the religious cult The Body in my novel A Perfect Flock.

When planning the novel, I wondered—should Christians use technology to enhance their moral lives? What if technology forced us to be good? Should we use it? Should we advocate it? Would it make Christians, and therefore the Gospel, more appealing to non-Christians?

A Perfect Flock explores these issues. In the novel, technology that might have been a blessing becomes a curse in the hands of cult leader Brother Moody. Indeed, becoming Moody’s version of a perfect Christian might just cost you your soul.

In A Perfect Flock, you will confront the well-meaning but dark future into which technology may be taking Christians and society; experience a fast-paced quest in which an older brother is determined to save his younger brother from technological enslavement; and face the tension between free will and enforced will—if we had the technology to force others to become Christians, should we?

If you like near-future Christian science fiction novels such as Steven James’ Synapse, I think you’ll enjoy A Perfect Flock.

A technical note: The book was released last October 23, so it is available now.

Best of hopes and dreams,

Mike

MY REVIEW

I found the book to be very interesting and kept my attention. The story moves at a good pace and I was intrigued by Tuck. He is out to rescue his brother from a group that could be harmful to him. The story is one where it is possible that this could be happening right now with people. A well spoken Charismatic person can convince others to follow them without realizing they are essentially being brainwashed.

There is danger, deceit, secrets and much more as we follow the story and see how easy it could be for some to be tricked into a place where only greed and power are present. The author does a good job of using Bible references throughout and developing the characters.

Readers will find some things a little hard to read so I would recommend older teens and adult readers for this book. It is written as science fiction, but could this be happening around us right now?

More from Carrie

Come with me to London!

My latest novel, A Token of Love, is a dual-time story set in London during the late Victorian Era and present day. That prompted my husband and I to take a trip to London earlier this year. We were especially delighted to visit the Foundling Museum which tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, the first children’s charity home in England. The Foundling Hospital and Foundling Museum tie the historical and contemporary plots together in A Token of Love.

Thousands of children were taken in by the Foundling Hospital when their mothers could no longer care for them. Some of the mothers left small items such as coins, thimbles, and pieces of jewelry with their infants as identifiers in the hope that if their situation changed, they might be able to return and reclaim their child. Those items were called tokens, and we saw several of them on display at the Foundling Museum.

Each token is unique and represents a mother’s love and desire to be reunited with her child. It was very moving to view them on display and think of all the heartache and hope behind each token.

More than two years ago, I saw an image of the tokens on Pinterest. That sparked my curiosity, and I followed the research trail to learn more about them. That led to the Foundling Museum’s website, which offers a treasure trove of information and personal stories about the mothers and children connected by those tokens. What I discovered helped me develop the characters and plot for A Token of Love. The story highlights one mother who gave her daughter into their care, then eight years later tries to reclaim her. But her daughter is missing, and that sets off a series of events that stirs all of London. Family drama, romance, inspiration, and a touch of mystery will make the story meaningful for readers.

If you like stories based on true events in history that will touch your heart and lift your spirit, then I think you will enjoy reading A Token of Love!

If you’d like to see more photos from my research trip to London and the Foundling Museum, I hope you’ll visit my website photo page!

MY REVIEW

There is nothing better for me than reading a book by this author. When it is a split time story that is a bonus for me. Her writing takes me to a place where a where much was going on behind closed doors.We start in 1885 where a prominent hospital is highlighted. It had a prestige reputation but secrets were hidden from many. I can’t imagine thinking your baby has died then discover that the child is alive. Will justice prevail ?

I love the storyline about the token that many parents left with their child as a remembrance of their heritage. A small coin or a locket holds family history and is hoped to identify their child if they can come back to get them. Let’s think about the parents who had no choice but to give up their child. The heart wrenching decision will last a lifetime. Oh how I wanted to help find those who looked gir their child.

Lillian is a very strong faith filled woman. Her determination to find her niece fills the pages with hope. I loved how she overcame many obstacles and never once thought of giving up. What she uncovers with the help of a journalist is hard to put into words. Battered, abused young children being used as maids or the unthinkable of losing their innocence.To think that human trafficking went on so long along shows how little we have done today to protect innocent children.

Matthew is writing a story on the hospital and runs into Lillian. He joins Lillian to help find her niece and expose the truth about the hospital. He wants to help Lillian while also sharing with the world a dark secret that needs to be shared . I liked how he is courageous, caring and also faithful in his walk with God.

We move forward in the story to 2023. Here we meet Janelle and Jonas. I absolutely loved how this thread of the story gives us a glimpse into the life of a teenager you will meet. Her attitude is not upbeat but soon her life will be changed. Janelle has a new promotion at the museum and finds out that Jonas is there to do a documentary on the infamous hospital from 1885.

The author does an amazing job of bringing justice to a forgotten group of children. It stated many years ago yet it is still present today. Each character found that trusting God would help them through their trials. I loved that this story is based on true historical facts. It piqued my curiosity and decided to read more about the hospital on my own. I have to end my review so I don’t give anymore away. Be prepared for tears, hope, secrets, and most of all hope.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
