Author Dr. Brenda Kendrick’s New Book, “Things to Do Before Seeing God,” is a Poignant Guide Designed to Help Readers Take Care of Their Souls While on Earth
Author Dr. Brenda Kendrick has served as a chaplain with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and has been on numerous mission trips to Honduras with the Alabama Honduras Medical Educational Network as a member of the “It’s a God-Thing” team, serving as liaison in counseling and evangelism. She and her husband, Dennis, are members of Eastside Baptist Church in Jasper, Alabama, where he is a deacon, and she is involved in ladies ministries.
“This manuscript was almost completed when my granddaughter was killed in an automobile accident wherein the car she was driving was hit head-on by a distracted driver,” writes Dr. Kendrick. “During the grief process, I was forced to rethink what death requires as the soul leaves the body. I revisited the ‘Things to Do Before Seeing God’ and realized they were still intact. They are total truths. Rather than changing anything in the body of this book, I added the preface titled ‘Scarlett’s Soul’ in her memory.
“These things can help you realize the beauty of life as you discover how to securely take care of your soul for the time when it leaves your earthly body. This book is not a ‘sad’ book of doom and gloom and is an easy yet thought-provoking reading. It covers topics such as courage in grief, soul care, forgiveness and being forgiven, mental health, showing some signs of life, wedding/estate planning, and how to discover and implement purposeful daily living tactics.
“Living on earth requires courage and a higher power in order to have happiness in the human body. We must be tutored by the Holy Spirit as we secure the joys of heaven through peace with God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, your soul is a beautiful thing and worth protecting.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Dr. Brenda Kendrick’s new book is an engaging read that offers hope, encouragement, and practical guidance for those looking to prepare for death, both practically on Earth and spiritually. Through sharing “Things to Do Before Seeing God”, Dr. Kendrick hopes to provide a comforting resource for those seeking to live with more clarity, faith, and purpose.

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
David R. Stewart has published "Camp Grampy: An Adventure With Grandchildren," a book built around a four-day summer gathering he and his wife, Nancy, started for their grandchildren after Stewart retired.
The idea, according to the announcement, grew out of a practical problem: grandchildren living in different cities who barely knew each other as cousins. Stewart and his wife set a recurring window each summer, picking the children up on a Sunday and returning them the following Thursday, timed around his Rotary Club schedule. Over time, that logistical arrangement became a standing family tradition with a name of its own.
Stewart draws on a background in sports, board games, and youth mentoring through scouting and Sunday school programs, according to the announcement, and he and Nancy built Camp Grampy around crafts, games, and activities modeled on traditional summer camp. The book states that children needed to be at least five years old to participate, a threshold set so everyone attending could take part in the full program. The family now includes eleven grandchildren, per Stewart.
"This book represents our family’s joy in building lasting memories and demonstrating to our eleven grandchildren that they matter," Stewart said in the announcement. "We wanted to show other families how accessible these meaningful experiences can be when approached with love and creativity."
The publisher describes the book as offering grandparents and extended families a model for building their own recurring traditions, framed around the argument that intentional, structured time together can carry weight beyond an ordinary visit. "Camp Grampy" was published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a familiar shelf of grandparent memoirs turning a family ritual into a template for others, and that’s exactly the kind of book that tends to find its readers by word of mouth rather than headlines.

From Bay Area to World Stage: Brian Brady Unveils International Thriller ‘The Crew’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Brian Brady’s latest thriller, titled "The Crew," shifts away from San Francisco and explores international locales according to an announcement circulated this week.
The announcement positions this title as a shift for Brady, whose previous fiction has centered on the San Francisco Bay Area Details on plot, characters, and publisher were not included in the material provided, and no author biography or backlist accompanied the release.
Publishing contains multiple books with the title "The Crew" It’s also the name of a 2025 nonfiction book by fire chief Matthew Aalto on firehouse leadership and accountability, and echoes Stephen King’s 1985 story collection "Skeleton Crew." None of that overlaps with Brady’s book in subject matter, but readers searching for it online should expect some noise in the results.
Beyond the shift in geography, the announcement does not specify what genre conventions the book follows, who its central characters are, or where its globe-trotting story actually takes place. Those are the kinds of details that typically separate one thriller from another on a crowded shelf.
Studio CarryOnHarry will hold off on further comment until more specifics on plot and publisher emerge, but a known author moving away from a signature setting is usually worth a second look once the book itself is available.
