"A Lump of Clay" by Dr. Bobby Holliday is a truly enchanting tale of a little lump of clay that was created for a very special purpose. Inspired by her memory of an "imperfect, but much loved…" piece of pottery that she created at the pottery wheel during her high school years, Author Dr. Bobby Holliday, has created an unforgettable children's story that will delight and teach young children that they are valuable and created for a very special purpose. This book triumphantly encourages children, and adults alike, that even though life is full of trials and tribulations, and even when sometimes life does not go as planned, God does have a purpose, a very special purpose for them because He loves them.

With beautiful illustrations done by Rebecca Price, accompanied with an audio CD done by the author who was the voice of the Lioness played by Angelina Jolie in Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2 and talented artists such as Rodger Bumpass, the voice of Squidward in SpongeBob SquarePants, this colorful, full-sized book with classic illustrations, will keep little readers fully engaged while teaching many Christian "Life-Lessons."

Perfect for a bedtime story, this wonderful children's fiction book is set in Old Jerusalem, in the, "Old City of King David." Dr. Holliday weaves in historical biblical figures in this creative tale of a little lump of clay that thought he was going to be the greatest, most beautiful and prestigious creation ever to be molded by the old famous potter, "Manasseh." Little did the lump of clay know that he was created for an even more spectacular and special purpose, more magnificent than he could have ever imagined or asked to have had the humble privilege of participating in.

Truly a masterpiece that you and your child will cherish together again and again! This endearing tale is destined to become a classic that will inspire, encourage and open communication with your child about Christian virtues and morals while showing your child that they are valuable and very special to God. There are so many truly wonderful gems and nuggets that can be gleaned from the tale of "A Lump of Clay." You'll want to keep this book and pass it down from generation to generation as you read it to your own children. A great gift idea for loved ones and a highly recommended read for young children.

Gravity, True For You But Not For Me by Author Michael Edwards

Title: Gravity, True For You But Not For Me
Author: Michael Edwards
Review Date: January 14, 2012
Reviewed by Christian Book Reviews
10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars

"Gravity, True For You But Not For Me" by Author Michael Edwards is quite a powerful mini-book that packs the punch, "Big surprises come in little packages," which is an understatement. Perfect for evangelism and originally an e-book, this book addresses every possible question or doubt about Christianity by combining facts, evidence and the truth with biblical principles. This book has the reader examine what is truth, does God exist, can we trust the Bible, did the resurrection really happen, and who did Jesus claim to be. Then by giving a twelve-point conclusion the author ends the journey with a pathway to salvation. Keep several copies of this one in your car, you'll want to hand them out to everyone you meet!

The author states in his opening paragraph of the book, "It's not about religion, it's about truth." The author goes on to explain his purpose for writing the book being that the, "…objective evidence must be considered in order to make an informed decision." Otherwise believing something because your parents believe it, relying on emotions or believing something to be true because you believe it to be true does not make it true; this is called "blind faith," as the author emphatically states. The facts must be examined and as the author continues to write, "Every person deserves at least the chance to examine the facts and make an informed decision."

Compelling, powerful and filled with common sense this book is packed with undeniable factual and scientific basis that clearly state the case for Christianity and why, if you believe or not, the Bible is true for you. Initially, and ingeniously, using the analogy of the law of gravity, the author catches the attention of the reader by stating that the law of gravity is true for everyone whether you have faith in gravity or not; gravity is true for everyone.

In much the same way, the author points the reader to the facts with an easy to read, fast-paced book that examines what truth is, and how best to look at the objective evidence. Clearly and concisely, this book also takes a look at apologetics, as well as the scientific evidence for creation, thereby dispelling the common lies and myths about the universe simply by examination of the evidence. In today's confusing world of many religions the author offers clarity for the reader. While many people believe whatever they are told or that what they believe is truth with no evidence to support that belief, this book urges the reader to base their beliefs on that which is truth and the evidence first before making a decision

This book is real, interesting, states the truth and will give many the knowledge they need to make an informed decision. Written by a man who is truly concerned about your future, a true evangelist at heart, the author wants the readers to know the truth and encourages the reader to make a decision based on truth. A highly recommended read for unbelievers, atheists, skeptics, scientists, evolutionists, and Christians alike. Know the facts, read this book!

Be sure to visit the author's website for unbelievable pricing including free E-Book information.

Also available on Amazon ...... Smashwords and other fine online bookstores.

CBM Christian Proofreading, for the Christian Author

PROOFREADING

Proofreading is considered one of the final and most important steps prior to the publishing process. It involves fine tune editing with the objective to correct those last minute spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors that either you as the author personally overlooked or other editors have overlooked.

Proofreading is for the author who has already had their work professionally edited or that feels they have properly edited their own work. Proofreading includes finding and correcting the following errors:

 

  • Spelling
  • Punctuation
  • Capitalization
  • Abbreviation
  • Table of Contents, chapter references and page numbers
  • Font styles and line/word spacing
  • Formatting of notes and tables
  • Formatting of citations for Scriptures and other references

    While it is fair to say that all editors strive to provide an error free manuscript, professional editors and publishers agree that professional proofreading is a very important final step to the overall publishing process. Many publishing companies will not even publish an author's works without both professional editing and proofreading.
