Author Sue Ellyn Carpenter-Barton’s New Book, “My Blind Date,” is a Profound Look at How Important Abstinence While Dating is for Maintaining a Strong & Healthy Marriage
[ad_1]
Raised in the deep South, author Sue Ellyn Carpenter-Barton followed her calling to become a teacher and taught in her local church the classes of women, young adults, teens, and children. She later traveled as a vocalist with her two sisters, forming a trio known as “The Carpenter Sisters.” An avid Bible reader since her mid-teens, Sue Ellyn has received many revelations in her study of the scriptures and has served as a pianist in five churches. In addition to her career in teaching and music, the author, along with her family, served in missions led by her parents, Reverend Lester and Mrs. Zelma Carpenter, in the hills of Jamaica and among the Cherokees in the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. In her spare time, Sue Ellyn enjoys writing, and was also a playwright, with one of her dramas professionally presented in “Ole Mr. Peabody.”
“The purpose of this book is to promote abstinence before marriage,” writes Sue Ellyn. “It depicts why it is so important to a marriage. After all, abstaining before marriage pleases God, and it keeps one from ‘defiling their marriage bed,’ and it avoids the emotional attachment both experience after a sexual encounter.
“In today’s world, sex is everything. Upon meeting a person, sex must take place that very night, or so it seems. Preteens are having sex with other preteens, teenagers are running wildly with sex, and young adults seem to believe it’s the thing to do. The ‘whole world is doing it’ is the take for all to consider.”
Sue Ellyn continues, “This book is a must-read for preteens, teenagers, and young adults, as well as all other dating individuals. Also, it’s important for parents of these age groups to read the book in order to teach their youth and others, as well.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Sue Ellyn Carpenter-Barton’s new book is a powerful tale of the importance of abstinence in an ever-changing world that places so much focus on sex. Expertly paced and told with a mix of humor and passion, “My Blind Date” is a poignant and deeply personal story that invites readers to experience how a courtship can still be passionate while still being in accordance with the Lord’s teaching on premarital sex.
Readers can purchase “My Blind Date” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

J.B. Richardson has published "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend," a children’s book that follows a young girl navigating bullying and social exclusion at school, according to an announcement from Christian Faith Publishing, which released the book.
The story centers on Sally, a girl whose kindness and gentle nature initially make her a target in a school environment the book describes as rewarding harshness over compassion. Richardson says he based the character on his own eldest daughter, who experienced bullying, and wrote the book for parents looking to help children through similar situations.
The narrative follows Sally as she weighs whether to change herself to fit in or hold onto her own nature, a tension the announcement frames as the book’s central question. Richardson, described in the announcement as a husband and father, says his own experiences with adversity and his path toward what he calls spiritual transformation shaped how he wrote Sally’s struggle.
"I wrote this book to show children that being kind, loving, and true to yourself is never a mistake," Richardson said in the announcement. "When we anchor our identities in faith rather than peer approval, we discover a strength that no amount of bullying can diminish."
The publisher describes the book as aimed at validating children’s experiences with social struggle while pointing them toward faith as a source of resilience. "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend" is available through bookstores and major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based children’s books addressing bullying, a topic that remains a persistent concern for parents and educators alike regardless of genre.

Esther Gómez has written "Un Milagro en mi Educación," a Spanish-language book aimed at Hispanic families navigating American schools, published this year through Christian Faith Publishing. The book is available in paperback and runs 19.91 euros in some European listings, with an ISBN of 9798897854349.
Gómez, an educator, draws on years of working with students making the transition into English-language classrooms. According to the announcement, the book pairs her professional background with testimonies from students who worked through that transition, aiming to give families concrete steps rather than general encouragement.
The book is structured around both practical guidance and religious framing. The publisher’s description points to two recurring scriptural references: Hebrews 13:5 and Philippians 4:13, which Gómez uses to frame perseverance through academic setbacks as tied to faith. "My greatest joy comes from helping Hispanic families recognize that their dreams of academic achievement are not only possible but within reach," Gómez said in the announcement. "I’ve seen students overcome remarkable challenges when given proper tools, familial support, and faith-centered perspective."
The publisher describes the book as integrating practical strategies, authentic narratives, and faith-based support to help readers overcome language obstacles and cultural transitions within American educational settings. It’s being sold through major retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble, as well as through Christian Faith Publishing’s own site.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based guidance aimed at immigrant families navigating American institutions, a niche with real demand even when any single title reaches a modest audience.
