Rev. Wayne K. Shontz Jr’s Newly Released “Inspirations for Faith” is an Encouraging Collection of Faith-Based Writings from Nearly Six Decades of Ministry


Scranton, PA, May 30, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Inspirations for Faith”: a helpful resource for learning to understand God’s word. “Inspirations for Faith” is the creation of published author Rev. Wayne K. Shontz Jr, a graduate of San Francisco Theological Seminary who was ordained in the United Church of Christ in 1954. He served as a director of Student Christian Fellowship House in Salt Lake City, Utah, and then in churches in Blackstone, Massachusetts; Jackson, Michigan; Leominster, Massachusetts; Newport, Ellsworth Falls, and Weld, Maine, retired in 2011 while serving in two churches in Plains and West Pittston, Pennsylvania before his passing in 2017.

Rev. Shontz shares, “During his years in ministry Wayne shared his deep and abiding faith with his congregations thru poems, sermons and weekly newsletters. Many times he wrote about his love of the natural world and God’s creation of it. These feelings were strengthened by his many hiking and camping trips in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He expresses his feelings in the ‘God’s Natural Order and Symbolic action poems.’ Wayne wanted to give others a sense of how faith could become a reality in their lives through an understanding of biblical events such as the Holy week series and how vital faith is when faced with personal loss, as in the poem ‘Moments of Acceptance’ May your faith be strengthened and renewed by these words.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Rev. Wayne K. Shontz Jr’s new book shares an articulate guide to living in active faith.

Consumers can purchase “Inspirations for Faith” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Denise A. Powis’s New Book, “Just be Yourself and No One Else!” Follows Three Punctuation Marks Who Try to Change Who They Are But Simply Cause Confusion


Copenhagen, NY, October 07, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Denise A. Powis, a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who enjoys painting, inventing, writing, and gardening, has completed her new book, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”: a heartfelt story that follows three punctuation marks who discover the importance of being true to themselves and what they do best.

In 2005, author Denise Powis received a bachelor of science degree from Empire State College, and she has worked for many years in the helping professions as a certified nursing assistant, home health aide, and substitute teacher for special education classes. At the present time, she teaches a Bible study/support group for women. In 1979, she won a 17 Islands National sailboat race.

In “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”, readers are introduced to a period, an exclamation point, and a question mark who all long for a change of pace and decide to switch places one day. However, they soon discover they are not well suited for performing their new roles, and decide that they were made perfect for their original purpose.

Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Denise A. Powis’s engaging tale will delight readers of all ages as they discover the importance of accepting one’s self and being true to who they really are. With colorful artwork and a powerful life lesson, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” will help boost confidence amongst young readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.

Inside the Community Spirit

“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”

How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities

The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
