[ad_1]
Recent release ‘Bent Pages’ from Covenant Books author Anne Hope is a gripping anecdote from the author’s life to stand as proof that bent corners are keys that define a person and give them the sense of belongingness.
Press Release – updated: May 18, 2021
KANSAS CITY, Mo.,
May 18, 2021 (Newswire.com) –
Anne Hope, an active in Christian ministry and a singer/songwriter from a small town in North Carolina, has completed her new book, “Bent Pages”: a personal account unfolding the moments in the author’s life which she considered as her bent corners. Found within the pages are the important moments that inspired and polished her growth as a woman.
Anne writes, “A psychiatrist friend once told me that he could gain a good understanding of how people become the individuals they are merely by having them write down their ten earliest memories. And, if he could then get those same people to write down their top ten most important decisions they have made in their lives, he felt he could gain a keen insight into what decisions they might need to make in the future to change the course of their lives for the better. I set out to examine those very memories and decisions for myself in Bent Pages.
From the time I was a child, one of my habits that drove others in my family crazy was to bend the corner of a page down on a book I was reading if it contained information I wanted to remember and look back on. It was easy to tell which books I had read and had been inspired by…there would be many bent corners. This book is a snapshot of the bent corners of pages in my life that have inspired and taught me. They are moments I never want to forget, even if painful. They have made me who I am. And I would not change that for the world!
But looking back can be a risk. It can be painful. It can dredge up things that you never wanted to think about again. But change is a decision, and I desperately wanted to change and make decisions wisely, even if it meant examining parts of my history that were painful or blurry. To my delight many memories also brought laughter and a new sense of appreciation for the difficulties we all face when growing up. We start out as children with it being ‘all about me,’ and we view our microcosms only through those myopic, child-like eyes. Yet, as we grow and mature, we are often able to view those experiences and the people involved in a whole new light…sometimes even as unexpected blessings.
God wired me specifically with certain talents, abilities, and personality traits when he knit me together in my mother’s womb. I have purpose. I can make an impact. I long to fulfill my role in his plan for history. I have discovered that I can make a difference, one person at a time, beginning with me. I have learned that God is indeed in control, even when life seems chaotic. I have learned that when I try to take back control of my life from God, I forfeit faith. I have learned that even one person, one decision, one act of obedience can catapult a life of insecurity and despair to ultimate joy, peace, and fulfillment in Christ.
Lastly, I have learned that I get to choose how I want to view those events that affected my life. I can choose to be a victim. I can choose to be angry. Or I can choose to be a victor…a person who chooses joy in seeing the gracious hand of God creating a beautiful symphony to share with others. I want to sing Him a love song…my life the melody. At times, this book is emotionally raw and heart-breaking, and at times it will make you laugh out loud…welcome to the adventure!”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Anne Hope’s new book is a solemn statement that everyone has a God-given purpose, no one is a wallflower in His big story.
The road may not be smooth and the climb may be steep, but God will definitely make all ends meet.

Author J Renee Cole has released "24 Questions to Equally Yoked in Thought and Deed: Forget Finding Mr. or Ms. Perfect, Seek Mr. or Ms. Right-For-You," a relationship guide structured around two dozen open-ended questions meant to surface disagreements couples often avoid until after the wedding.
Rather than offering advice or prescribing particular beliefs, the book’s format puts the questions themselves at the center, covering topics including disability, infidelity, financial hardship, adoption and fertility, imprisonment and debt, gun ownership, care for aging parents, prenuptial agreements, and major lifestyle spending. The premise, according to the announcement, is that couples who build engagements on attraction and hope rather than on tested alignment about hard scenarios risk discovering incompatibility only once a marriage, and often children, are already in the picture.
"I wrote this book because I’ve watched too many couples realize, far too late, that they never actually discussed the things that matter most," Cole said in the announcement. "Marriage requires more than love; it demands honest conversation about who we really are and what we truly believe. These twenty-four questions are an invitation to that conversation."
The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing and is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry notes that premarital-questions guides are a familiar category in relationship publishing, but the specific list here, built around scenarios like imprisonment, disability, and aging-parent care rather than the usual money-and-communication checklist, is a sharper bet than most.

Julie Ann Patrick, an author from Quitman, Georgia, has released a new children’s book, "Honk If You Love Jesus," published through Christian Faith Publishing. The story follows a brother-and-sister pair of goslings who join their Sunday School class and Christian guidance counselors on a journey south to vacation Bible school, learning to form the letter V to guide their flock along the way.
According to the publisher’s description, the book uses the goslings’ migration as a way to introduce young readers to themes of faith, teamwork, and what it describes as God’s presence in both people and nature. The story also works in what the publisher calls spoofs of movies, television personalities, and familiar nursery rhyme rhythms, aimed at holding the attention of both children and the parents reading along with them. The book is categorized as juvenile fiction.
Patrick, who still lives on her family’s farm in Quitman, is a mother of three and grandmother of five. The announcement describes her as a longtime teller of stories within her own family, and says her writing is shaped by her Christian faith. "My greatest joy in writing this book has been sharing with children how Jesus is the source of true victory in our lives," Patrick said in the announcement. "Through the journey of these goslings, I hope young readers discover that when we form ourselves into the shape of faith, we can soar to incredible heights."
The book is available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, in bookstores, and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes Store, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady, long-running stream of faith-based children’s titles aimed less at the bestseller list than at Sunday School shelves and family bookcases, a niche with its own loyal, if quiet, readership.
