Jasper, AL, June 09, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Dr. Brenda Kendrick, who holds a Bachelor of Religious Education, a Master of Ministry in Biblical Counseling, and a Doctor of Ministry in missions from Covington Theological Seminary, has completed her new book, “Things to Do Before Seeing God: Soul Care for Daily Living”: a heartfelt roadmap for purposeful daily living and caring for one’s soul in life to prepare for death.

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.

Readers can purchase “Things to Do Before Seeing God: Soul Care for Daily Living” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

New Children’s Book Turns a Childhood Playground Wound Into a Lesson on Forgiveness

New Children’s Book Turns a Childhood Playground Wound Into a Lesson on Forgiveness

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author Lisa Doucette has published "Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!", a children’s book drawn from a painful memory of her own childhood, through Christian Faith Publishing.

The story follows a young girl named Lisa who climbs onto a tire swing expecting an afternoon of fun. A fall and a cruel remark from another child instead leave her confused and hurt. With her sister’s help and her faith, she works through the experience and arrives at forgiveness.

Doucette is a wife, teacher, and mother of two sons who has said she experienced the incident firsthand as a child. "I experienced this hurtful event as a child, and rewriting this story with a redemptive ending has allowed me to truly forgive," she said in the announcement. "I believe that forgiveness is the way to heal, and I hope this book helps other children understand that truth."

The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of empathy, agency, and choosing one’s response to cruelty rather than controlling it. The publisher describes it as a tool for helping children navigate hurt and process it through kindness rather than retaliation.

"Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees value in children’s books that work from a real, specific memory rather than an invented scenario — that specificity is often what makes a book like this land with young readers rather than read as a generic moral lesson.

Christian Faith Publishing Releases Pamela B. Craig’s “Tears and a Tiara,” a Family Memoir of Childhood Cancer and Faith

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Pamela B. Craig has released "Tears and a Tiara: A Testimony of Faith, Hope, and Love," a memoir recounting her family’s experience after her child was diagnosed with cancer, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.

The announcement describes a family life upended by a diagnosis no parent expects to hear, and a narrative that follows the family through what the publisher calls heartache toward spiritual transformation. Craig frames the ordeal as a test of faith rather than only a medical crisis, according to the announcement, with the book positioned as both a personal testimony and an account meant to speak to readers facing their own hardship.

The title itself, pairing "tears" with "tiara," points to the book’s central tension: suffering alongside something the publisher’s description treats as a mark of grace or honor, a framing common in faith-based memoirs that cast a family’s hardest season as also a season of spiritual meaning.

Craig’s memoir joins a steady stream of personal narratives released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors to bring faith-centered stories, often rooted in illness, loss, or caregiving, to print.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a durable category of faith-based memoir: narrow in audience, but consistently in demand among readers looking for first-person accounts of hardship read through a spiritual lens.
