Rebel in Petticoats
by
Nancy Gentry

In 1861 ten-year-old Rachel Franklin and her family are pulled into the midst of the Civil War. Though at first the glory of fighting for the southern Cause brought pride and excitement into the Franklin home, the truth of war’s hardships soon become apparent. Before the war the biggest worries for Rachel were using proper manners and controlling her jealousy towards her brother Bud's sweetheart, Suzanna Wade. Now Rachel and her mother must work the gardens, pick cotton, tend to their wounded men, and wait between letters with only hope that their loved ones survive. “We must be strong,” Mama tells her, and on the night when Rachel must deliver an important message for Papa to save the lives of countless men, she learns the true meaning of bravery when she becomes a little Rebel in Petticoats.

Split Tongue Sparrow
a traditional Japanese folktale Retold by Jan Hayes Illustrated by Bobby Dawson

ISBN 978-0-9800285-1-5
Price: $14

In 1988 at the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, Jan Hayes first heard the story of the Split Tongue Sparrow.  She asked for the story to be written in Kanji and later requested someone at the Japanese Center of MTSU to roughly translate the folktale. Hayes has put her own artistic flair into the retelling, adding haikus to the beginning and end and presenting the entire story in a way reflective of the traditional Japanese folktale style. For the publication, Eri Redfern translated the story back into Kanji, which is included in the back of the book. O’More graduate Bobby Dawson’s artwork makes this heartwarming narrative about the blessings of kindness a true masterpiece.

The Apostle John: A Blessed Life
by James Byers

ISBN 978-0-9800285-2-2
Price: $10

“John the Apostle was truly the Christian of the first century. His life spanned the rule of Augustus Caesar through Trajan; thus he lived through the reign of twelve emperors and died during the rule of the thirteenth in the period of time known in Latin as the Pax Romana or Roman peace.” (exerpt from first chapter)

The Apostle John: A Blessed Life takes a historical and philosophical look into the life and work of this son of Zebedee. Once a “son of thunder,” John’s spiritual journey led him to become the man called to write a special, personal account of the life of Jesus. This book guides the reader through the world in which John lived and the gospel, letters, and revelation tale written with divine direction and his unique perspective.

From his days fishing with his father and brother on the Sea of Galilee, to his travels with Jesus, and finally to his last days writing and sharing Christ’s word in Ephesus, this apostle truly lived a blessed life.

Pain and Suffering: Friend or Foe?
By Jack Hilliard

ISBN 0-9800285-0-7
Published December 2007

“In many cases, whether or not pain is a friend or foe depends on our outlook on life. We can think of it as a privilege or drudgery. We look at everything that happens from some point of view. If we conclude all is bad, then no matter what happens we will see every experience in a bad connotation. If life is seen as a privilege, then this optimistic view can put a good spin on even our problems, disappointments, and suffering. If optimistic vision allows us to think of the future and others, we may be able to see past our brief pain to the possible good result. The future will be brighter, and the load will be lighter.”
In his seventh book, Jack Hilliard uses scripture, personal experiences, and a lifetime of study to explore the connection between suffering and blessing, pain and progress. Have you experienced hurt? The goal of this book is to help you see past your misery into God’s goodness and peace.
