How do you approach a book written by a self proclaimed prophet? Isn't the claiming of that mantle a bit presumptuous? I've always thought so. I've usually associated those tree-stump prophets with lamentations concerning a dearth of financial resources. So why did I read this book? That's a fair question and the answer is easy to provide. I read articles on the internet by the author and it was evident in what I read that this gentleman was no flimflam man. His low-key delivery and humility, combined with spiritual and practical insight, marked him as a potential real deal. When he offered to send me a copy for free, I jumped at the chance. I sent him two of my books in return. I hope he doesn't feel short changed.

The Queen of Sleepy Eye is as much a work of art as a piece of literature. Patti Hill transports the reader into the life of a 17-year old young woman in the mid-70s. The plan was to travel to California to attend college and leave behind the unstable lifestyle she had growing up in Illinois. Her mother had a different idea and took a detour. A broken-down Coupe and no money meant Amy was stuck in a small town for the summer working and living in a funeral home. The months spent in the cozy town of Cordial gave Amy experiences that would forever change her world. She had a summer of moral and personal challenge and growth as she experienced joy, grief, love and hate.

By Claire Walden 

Clark and Salina Beasley are not only husband and wife, but also the driving force behind Surveil.  From leading worship at churches to touring with Matt Redman, these two have had unbelievable opportunities to grow as artists and use their gifts to glorify God throughout the world.  Last year marked a major turn in their career with the release of their debut album, The World is Watching.  The songs are all originals with the exception of their own rendition of Prayer of St. Francis.  Their lyrics are unique and imaginative.  Surveil has the ability to capture the raw emotion of worship that transcends to the deeper meaning of the act.
