Claude shares, “This story is of a sheriff’s deputy, Shane Hoeben, who was moved in his heart to take action after he witnessed the attack in New York on the World Trade Center. Deputy Hoeben was sitting in a classroom during a training session. The instructor was interrupted by a command officer and was instructed to turn on the large-screen television a news alert. The timing was perfect. The class of twenty-eight sheriff’s deputies witnessed the second airliner crash into the southern tower.
“This officer was a veteran deputy and too old to enlist in the military. Therefore, he searched for another way to serve. Deputy Hoeben found a way. The State Department of the United States had a program for police officers if they could qualify. The new democracy of Iraq needed policemen trained under a new constitution, and the US government decided to use experienced US police officers to do so.
“It would take extensive background checks, physical and psychological examinations to qualify to be given the opportunity to try out for the program. The candidates had to qualify in physical fitness, self-defense, and with several different firearms. If the candidates made it through qualifications, they were sent to training given by the State Department and the US military then to Iraq. Deputy Hoeben passed all phases with flying colors. Shane finished his training and was shipped to Iraq to serve one year as a field adviser to the Iraq police officers. This is his story.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, MJ Claude’s new book brings readers a thoughtful and politically intelligent fiction that provides unique insight to the world of military and paramilitary personnel.
Consumers can purchase “Patriot to Mercenary: Lessons Learned in Iraq” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Rev. Clarence Yordy, a 95-year-old Korean War veteran and former pastor, has published a new collection of sermons titled "In Times Like These, Be Very Sure," through Christian Faith Publishing.
The book gathers sermons described by its publisher as addressing faith, perseverance, healing and purpose, rooted in Scripture and shaped by what the announcement calls real-life experience. According to the publisher’s description, the collection is meant to offer readers a steady voice amid noise and uncertainty, inviting them to pause and reconnect with their faith in the course of daily life.
Yordy brings a long personal history to the material. He served in the Korean War, spent years in pastoral ministry, and raised seven children, with grandchildren and great-grandchildren following. "I wanted to share the lessons I’ve learned across a lifetime of ministry," Yordy said in the announcement. "In times like these, we need anchors of truth that hold steady regardless of the storms around us. My prayer is that these messages help others find that unwavering foundation in Christ."
The publisher describes the sermons as addressing both practical and spiritual questions — encouragement for difficult seasons, Yordy says, alongside what the publisher frames as deeper understanding of what it means to live out faith with conviction.
"In Times Like These, Be Very Sure" is available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, as well as at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees the real interest here in the author himself — a 95-year-old minister and veteran putting a lifetime of ministry into print is itself a notable milestone, regardless of how the book performs.

Author Nancy Chance has released "Ancient History of Man, the Fallen Angels, and Religions," a book examining humanity’s earliest history through the lens of biblical and ancient texts, published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The book draws on the Holy Bible and the Book of Enoch, along with what the announcement describes as extensive research across scientific, historical, and journalistic sources. Its narrative opens with what Chance characterizes as creation’s original state of perfection, then moves to the descent of fallen angels to Earth and the disruption that followed. The Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious text not included in most biblical canons, has long been a touchstone for writers and theologians interested in the fallen angels narrative referenced briefly in Genesis, and Chance’s book builds its account around that same source material alongside scripture.
Chance came to this project after a career in nursing. The author started her creative pursuits with teenage poetry, progressed through short stories and screenplays, and after leaving nursing pursued this theological work. This new book follows an earlier, shorter work, "One God and the Fallen Angels," and the publisher describes it as an expanded treatment of the same research and themes.
In a statement, Chance explained her motivation: "I felt compelled to share this narrative because it illuminates not only the struggle between light and darkness, but God’s constant love for His creation." "Through extensive research and biblical foundation, I hope readers will come to know Him intimately and understand their place in this epic narrative."
The publisher positions the book as a resource for readers interested in biblical and historical perspectives on the origins of human civilization and its relationship to the divine. It’s available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, as well as Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see whether this expanded volume reaches a wider readership than Chance’s earlier book on the same subject, or whether it mainly serves the audience already familiar with her work.
