Tapestry is a collection of short stories, poems, songs and letters from God, and woven in between is the testimony of one woman''s growing understanding and relationship with God as she learns to lean on him and trust him to guide her through her battle with depression. It started with a spiritual journal; a place for her to record her thoughts and help her to understand the bible; it was a place for her to unload her emotions. She eventually discovers that writing has become a helpful tool for her to understand her emotions, and to help her reach out to God and to others for help. A desire develops in her to share the creative words that God has inspired. She wants others to see how God is working in her life so they can see how God can and will work in their lives. It is her prayer that readers of this book will be inspired to invite Jesus into their hearts and allow him to guide them down the path God has chosen for their lives. She does not want anyone to miss out on the adventure that God has in store for them. Tammy Lochridge is a wife and mother of twin daughters.

I guess you''re wondering where in the world did you come up with a name like Ironclad Clay? Well about a few years back, one morning as I was getting ready for work. I was praying about what to call this thing that was in my head. The Holy Spirit said very emphatically to me, "This is what I want you to name our book."The Ironclad has to do with our spiritual armor in Ephesians in 6:11-18. We must also have this armor to fight the spiritual battle we are in every day. And the clay is what we are made from in Genesis 2:7. I would like to give you a brief synopsis of the book and the orders of the chapters as the Holy Spirit burdened my heart in the creating of this book. I have at times laughed and called it my "Spiritual Hodgepodge" but God knows what is to be and the order of it all. Just as he does in our lives if we will just trust and obey! Trust him even when we can''t see. So here we go! Ironclad Part I is a book that is a spiritually progressive book that is composed of eleven chapters. We used a bit of biblical numerology when we started writing the book. For example, Chapter One is the subject of the number one person in the Bible and that is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We also use character studies in several of the chapters to convey spiritual truths. Then in chapter 9-11 we start diving in a little deeper with the truths that every Christian will need to have in their hearts to be well grounded in God''s word. I hope you enjoy the book and God Bless! Visit us on our website www.junipertreepublishers.com

Singleness is not a Death Sentence!"Singleness, A Blessing, Not A Curse" alters your perceptions about being a single. It motivates you to strive to fulfill your obligation to God during your period of singleness. God has a purpose and a plan that He has predestined for you to complete.  Stop! Moping around like being single is the worst thing ever. Your singleness, just like everything else, can be a time of great joy.  Singleness provides you with the opportunity to develop a strong, devoted relationship with God. Never underestimate the privileges and opportunities you have as a single Christian.I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.Philippians 4:11-13 NIV

With any grandmother, a love for her grandchildren and their individual personalities is something she always treasures and wants to talk about with others. Author Linda Moore chose a different approach to celebrating the unique aspects of her twelve grandchildren: she wrote poems combining the characteristics of her grandchildren with those of famous biblical gures. These personal poems epitomize her new book Oh No! It''s Not Sunday Again, which are poems devoted to her seven grandsons: Heyward, Jay, Jamie, Christian, John Tyler., Shawn Thomas and Conley. A secondary book of poems for her ve granddaughters is planned for future publication. Linda begins her book stating the importance of leaving a legacy of faith for one''s grandchildren and how Linda and her husband Johnny enjoy their loveable personalities. Their grandsons'' traits are then introduced to readers in brief paragraphs to allow Linda to also reveal what real-life men from the Bible her grandsons mirror in character. The poems articulate the essence of each boy, allowing readers to get to know them personally as the content is written in the writing style for each age of boy. As though voiced by the grandson himself, he describes why he likes the biblical gure and what he learns from the man''s example. For instance, Linda chose for her oldest grandson, Heyward, the character of David, because both boys have similar interests in the outdoors, hunting and taking care of animals. They also love others, which is then illustrated in the author''s poetic words. Oh No! It''s Not Sunday Again exempli es a grandmother''s love for her children and grandchildren, wanting to encourage them in the ways of the Lord and to embody the persona of Christ in their everyday lives.
