Press Release updated: May 25, 2021
NEW YORK,
May 25, 2021 (Newswire.com) –
Fulton Books author Dr. J. Mack Hargis, former teacher, principal, school board member, and educational consultant, has completed his most recent book “It Isn’t Always Black Or White.” It is a potent discussion of the integration process in the public schools of Nashville illustrated by his personal journey, insight, and firsthand experience witnessing the impact of integration on educators, students, and the community.
Dr. Hargis writes, “The Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) integration was a complicated process. Though a plan had been implemented in 1970, this plan was reversed by a higher court in 1981 resulting in school closings, teacher transfers, and students bussed miles from home just days before school started. These unexpected changes put burdens on principals, teachers, and staff, as they did their best in a time of uncertainty.
These stories, many never shared before, took place during the court-ordered integration plan, and the process of trying to educate students despite the chaos. They examine the experience of combining students from differing cultures while striving for positive results for all. These differences were not always black or white. Dr. Mack Hargis, former teacher, coach, principal, and school board member, offers an insider’s perspective on the path to the MNPS’s integration.”
Published by Fulton Books, Dr. J. Mack Hargis’ book is an eye-opening manuscript that lets readers get a closer and more personal look recounting the process that transpired during Nashville’s integration plan. It brings light upon the changes, the complications, and the feats that arose in those times of challenge.
Readers who wish to experience this brilliant work can purchase “It Isn’t Always Black Or White” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.

New Book Offers Couples 24 Questions to Ask Before Marriage
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
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.

Quitman Author Julie Ann Patrick Releases Children’s Book “Honk If You Love Jesus”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
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.
