Author Ben Scott’s New Book, ‘Why and How Much Should I Be Giving to the Church and the Poor’, Shares How God Guided Him...
Ben Scott, who was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1941, has completed his new book, "Why and How Much Should I Be Giving to the Church and the Poor": a compelling work that shares the many chapters of the author's journey in faith. The book references many Bible verses that had formed the author and his wife to their new way of life of giving/tithing.
Author Ben Scott was born to a middle-class family of four children. Growing up, Ben had very few examples of generosity or giving patterns. When he was 21, he bought a bar that became a successful college hangout. In his early thirties, he became a McDonald's restaurant franchisee, and he, his wife, and two children moved to Piqua, Ohio, to open their first restaurant. It was the incredible generosity and community involvement of his mentor and founder of McDonald's, Ray Kroc, that got his attention that started him on the path to following his mentor's example. Scott went on to open eight more McDonald's restaurants and retired thirty years later. He and his wife, Louise, enjoy playing golf, spending time with their two children and five grandchildren, and spending their winters in Florida.
Ben writes, "My brothers and sisters, sweet is the thought of mercy, but even more so is mercy itself. It is what all men hope for, but unfortunately, not what all men deserve. For while all men wish to receive it, only a few are willing to give it. How can a man ask for himself what he refuses to give to another? If he expects to receive any mercy in heaven, he should give mercy on earth. Do we all desire to receive mercy? Let us make mercy our patroness now, and she will free us in the world to come. Yes, there is mercy in heaven, but the road to it is paved by our merciful acts on earth."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Ben Scott's new book was written with the hope of inspiring others. The Scotts have been raising money to build villages in Haiti for more than 12 years and talk about their Haiti experiences in the book.
Readers can purchase "Why and How Much Should I Be Giving to the Church and the Poor" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

Joshua Martin’s New Book ‘Vigilante Blood’ is the Riveting Story of a Detective Who Finds Herself Battling an Underground Organization Along With Her Own...
Fulton Books author Joshua Martin, a lifelong storyteller and writer, has completed his most recent book "Vigilante Blood": a gripping and captivating tale that centers around the growing threat of a secret criminal organization, and the only detective who has the right stuff to take them down.
"Welcome to the city of Greenville, where murder is never what it seems," writes Martin. "Detective Lynn Pocker and her team are battling crime on several fronts: two serial murderers and a secret organization that has been pulling the strings of crime and justice for decades. Our heroine will have to fight this and her own personal struggles as she herself becomes ensnared in the game of foxes and hounds.
"Lynn could feel her pulse quicken, her face flushing. Taking a few deep breaths in and out, she tried to gain control of her emotions. She took a quick sip of her hot lavender tea. A tornado of questions and emotions twirled within her mind. Everything she thought she had known, everything that she had buried when she entered the academy, things she had thought that had been locked away in her heart were resurfacing. The light of this newfound truth exposed her to new injuries. In her rising anger, she cried, 'This can't be! I saw his bullet-riddled body. Jay is dead, and that's the end of it! Whoever this, this asinine animal is doesn't know who he is dealing with.'
"...Does she have what it takes to rescue her town? Is she willing to do whatever it takes to get her happy ending? Or is this the beginning of the end for Greenville's infamous detective?"
Published by Fulton Books, Joshua Martin's thrill ride is a follow-up to his previous book "Blood Letters" and continues the story of Detective Pocker. As Lynn inches closer to discovering the dangerous truth surrounding this new spring of murders, her own personal life begins to unravel, and she'll be forced to make an impossible decision between her loved ones and saving the town she's sworn to protect.
Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase "Vigilante Blood" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

Fulton Books author Funcine Wingate, a devoted mother and grandmother with fascinating life experience, has completed her most recent book "Beat Down but Still Standing": a gripping and honest retrospective of the author's struggles.
"This book," says Wingate, "is the remembered impressions of what it's like to start out thinking that something was wrong and never being able to place a finger on the culprit of what was happening to me. … To experience the unseen and to know that there is some force or something unexplainable attached to my life compelled me to question what, who, how, and why these things were taking place, which led me to a totally different world I never knew existed."
Published by Fulton Books, Funcine Wingate's book was written out of the need to self-counsel from a breakdown resulting from being "emotionally, financially, personally, and physically" betrayed. Drawing from Wingate's life experiences, this book is a tool for facing fears head-on. Wingate reflects on the past while simultaneously continuing through the grace of God.
Author Funcine Wingate writes, "My biography is filled with events that would make someone think that I couldn't possibly be serious."

Author C.G. Thompson’s New Book ‘The Angel of Christmas’ Follows an Angel Named Noel Who is Sent on Missions by God to Save the...
C.G. Thompson has completed his new book, "The Angel of Christmas": a faith-based collection of stories in which a dutiful angel carries out the will of God and does her best to please her Father while spreading hope to humanity.
"The stories you are about to read are fiction with some fictional characters," writes Thompson. "However, not all of the characters are fictional. You will find real history and actual places woven into these tales. The main characters in all of these stories are angels. Angels are mentioned at least 273 times in the Scriptures. The number of angels is incalculable. They are created spirit beings which are invisible unless they wish to be seen, and normally, that is in human form. They, like us, have free will. There are several different types of angels with different assignments to carry out. They all report to God, their Father.
"Today, it seems many Christian people only desire to believe in a God of love and not a God of vengeance and punishment. Yes, God is love, but He is other things as well. People seem to mistake God's long-suffering for a change from His Old Testament persona to one that makes Him seem like a hippy of the 1960s. The Bible says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I can't visualize Him sitting on His throne making peace signs. He wasn't a flower child in the Old Testament, so neither is He today.
"This book shows both a God of love and a God of justice. In this collection of stories as well as in the Bible, angels are sent to carry out His justice upon evildoers. In both this book and the Bible, angels are also sent to show His love for His children."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, C.G. Thompson's new book is an inspirational assemblage of stories that highlights God's love of his faithful children and shows the ways in which his followers will be rewarded for their praise.
Readers can purchase "The Angel of Christmas" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

Gene Luen Yang Named Winner of 2023 NSK Neustadt Prize for Children’s and Young Adult Literature
World Literature Today, the University of Oklahoma's award-winning magazine of international literature and culture, today announced Gene Luen Yang as the winner of the 2023 NSK Neustadt Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature. He is the first graphic novelist to win the prestigious prize.
Yang's American Born Chinese was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award and the first to win the American Library Association's Printz Award.
In 2013, Boxers & Saints, his two-volume graphic novel about the Boxer Rebellion, was nominated for a National Book Award and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. In 2016, the Library of Congress, Every Child a Reader and the Children's Book Council appointed Yang the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, and he was a three-time honoree for the 2021 Eisner Awards.
Trung Le Nguyen, an award-winning comics writer and artist, nominated Yang for the NSK Prize and chose his graphic novel American Born Chinese as the representative text for the jury to read.
"American Born Chinese deftly handles issues of immigration [and] internalized racism as if believing in the capacity for very young readers to synthesize disparate and complicated modes of written communication," Nguyen wrote in his nominating statement.
Kathy Neustadt, representing the Neustadt family, made the announcement during the annual Neustadt Lit Fest. The next lit fest will be given in Yang's honor in October 2023.
Highly respected within the literary community for its recognition of excellence, the NSK Prize was first given in 2003 to Mildred D. Taylor, author of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Additional past winners are Brian Doyle (2005), Katherine Paterson (2007), Vera B. Williams (2009), Virginia Euwer Wolff (2011), Naomi Shihab Nye (2013), Meshack Asare (2015), Marilyn Nelson (2017), Margarita Engle (2019) and Cynthia Leitich Smith (2021).
A blue-ribbon jury selects the finalists and the winner based solely on literary merit as well as the importance of the writer's contribution to children's and young adult literature. NSK winners are awarded $35,000, a silver medallion, and a certificate of recognition.
