Tommy Poole’s New Book, “Dead River to Living Water,” is a Faith-Based Read That Reveals How Salvation is Available for Anyone Who Follows in the Lord’s Divine Light
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, author Tommy Poole married his childhood sweetheart, Linda Caulder, after graduating high school. In 1971, he enlisted for two years in the U.S. Marine Corps and in 1973, Linda and Tommy were blessed with their only child, Brenda Ann. In the fall of 1987, Tommy had a personal experience with Jesus Christ and, several years later, felt God’s call into the gospel ministry. He returned to college and, in 1991, received a Bachelor of Arts degree in religion from Southern College (now Southern Adventist University). That year, Tommy and his family accepted a call to teach English in Macau with the Teacher’s for China Project, where he also assisted with the pastoral duties in the local church. From 1992 onward, the author pastored various churches around the country until 2007, when he retired. Since that time, Tommy, Linda, and Brenda have made their home in the small community of Chapin, South Carolina, moving their church membership to the Irmo, South Carolina SDA Fellowship Church, where Tommy now serves as an elder for the congregation.
“In the early days of my experience with the Lord, I was told, ‘The best way a Christian can witness is to simply tell others what Jesus has done for you. You do not have to be a polished speaker or gifted teacher. All you need to do is share how God has changed your life and his Spirit will do the rest.’ Through the years, I have tried to take advantage of the opportunities afforded me to testify of God’s power, goodness, and love in my life, be it with a large audience or in a one-on-one conversation, sharing the answers I have discovered to the questions we all eventually have about life, death, and beyond. Without a doubt, the greatest peace and joy thus far, has come to me by hearing and accepting God’s gospel—good news—which was given to the entire known world in the first century AD. As I came to realize ‘the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord,’ peace and joy that I never knew existed was given to me bringing new meaning and direction to my life.
“As I participate in this world view of faith, peace and joy are a continual blessing to me and others I talk with, and this is why I am sharing my story with you. For you who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Savior, I challenge and encourage you to ‘taste and see that the Lord is good.’ I found Jesus to be the fountain of living waters, and he says, ‘The water that I shall give him [the person seeking answers] will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.’ For you who already know him, I invite you to partake even more out of his wells of salvation.”
Published by Fulton Books, Tommy Poole’s book is a deeply personal look at the author’s life, and how he voyaged from life’s dead river to the living waters of Christ’s teachings through his relationship with the Lord. Expertly paced and thought-provoking, by sharing his life’s story, Poole hopes to connect with readers and show them all that is possible when one places their faith in God and opens their hearts and minds to his infinite love and salvation.
Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Dead River to Living Water: My Journey Down this Lifeless River to the Lifegiving Waters of Christ’s Redeeming Grace” online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Ann Aschauer has released "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," a book built around a real outreach event two Michigan women created by reworking Halloween into a Christian production. According to the announcement, the expanded title reads "Satan’s Worst Nightmare: A Testimony of Recognizing, Fighting and Winning Today’s Spiritual Warfare" and it follows two small-town mothers, identified as Annie and Kelly, during the initial development of what the publisher calls a potentially unprecedented theatrical work: the story of Christ’s Resurrection told from Satan’s point of view.
The book arrives from Covenant Books, a Christian publishing house, and comes after Aschauer’s earlier novels including "Counselor," "Vision," and "Sparrows," as well as her prior nonfiction publications. Aschauer has a background in theater, playwriting and drama education, and taught middle school English and drama, experience the publisher says shaped how she reconstructed the obstacles the two women faced in building the event.
The narrative frames the project as spiritual warfare in a literal sense — prayer, obstacles, and what the release calls attacks and opposition standing between the women and a finished outreach. "This story shows that God can use anyone to do remarkable things that bring Him glory," Aschauer said in the announcement, adding that the original event became a testimony to everyone who helped build it. "I pray readers will see their own potential to make a difference in ways they never imagined possible," she said.
The book is being sold through bookstores and online retailers including Amazon, Apple’s iTunes Store, Google Play and Barnes and Noble, per the publisher.
What the announcement doesn’t specify is how the original event has evolved since — whether "Satan’s Worst Nightmare" is still staged annually in the women’s community, or whether the book is meant to document a one-time production. That detail is left to readers to find on their own.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Aschauer’s career trajectory as instructive for faith-based creators working in theatrical spaces. Her progression from drama educator to playwright to novelist reveals how technical storytelling craft and spiritual conviction can reinforce each other. By teaching middle school drama, she developed an intuitive understanding of how audiences connect with narrative—not through sermon, but through character, conflict, and transformation. That foundation shapes how she approaches faith narratives: not as didactic messages, but as dramatic experiences. Her earlier novels like "Counselor" and "Vision" suggest an author learning to weave theological themes into structured plots. With "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," Aschauer applies those hard-won skills to document a real community event, transforming grassroots ministry into publishable testimony. For Christian creators, her arc demonstrates that investing in craft—understanding how stories actually move people—strengthens rather than dilutes faith-centered work.

Author Erin Strong is offering her novel "She Never Left Ground Zero: A Novel of Courage, Love, and the Hidden Cost of 9/11" as a free download through September 30, according to the announcement. No registration, email address, purchase, subscription, or review is required, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The novel is fiction but draws on the real experience of an NYPD officer, per the announcement. It centers on Sofia Vega, an NYPD officer whose work amid the smoke and debris in the aftermath leads to lasting consequences she and her family must face. Strong has said she wanted to write about what happened to first responders and their families after press coverage of the attacks faded — a theme that echoes a broader body of anniversary-year 9/11 literature, including nonfiction essay collections and survivor accounts published or reissued around the same milestone.
According to Strong, "I wanted to tell a deeply personal story about what happened after the television cameras moved on." "Many first responders and their families continued living with the consequences of September 11 for years. This novel honors their courage, their sacrifices, and the people who loved them through it all."
The free download is available at sheneverleftgroundzero.com. The book will also remain for sale on Amazon and other retailers after the promotional window closes. Strong’s team can be reached through the same website or by phone.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Strong’s September timing as a textbook example of anniversary marketing strategy. Major commemorative dates like the 25th anniversary of 9/11 generate enormous search volume and media attention—precisely when potential readers are already thinking about the subject matter. By anchoring a free promotion to this peak-interest window, authors capture visibility they’d need to spend significantly on advertising to achieve otherwise. The counterintuitive logic: giving away the book for free during high-traffic periods can actually drive more long-term sales than traditional paid campaigns, because it builds audience reach, generates word-of-mouth momentum, and establishes the title in readers’ minds before the promotional window closes. When the book returns to paid status in October, those who downloaded it free become natural candidates for follow-up engagement—reviews, recommendations, and future purchases. It’s a calculated play on consumer psychology and search behavior that extends the book’s commercial lifespan well beyond September.
