Don't hate me for reminding you planning-people that Christmas is just around the corner! Oh, wait, you've already been shopping? If so, then I'm the slacker! Haha! I hope you will keep my books in mind. They are written to help people deal with what's going on in our world and help them get ready for any future nonsense that will happen.

The books about Jesus are written primarily for non-Christians to help them understand why Jesus is still relevant and important for us today. I once saw a meme that said "Do I need Jesus to go to heaven?" reply: "Dude, you need Jesus to go to Walmart" Lol, but true. 😃

If you are shopping for someone who is a new convert to Christianity or has been away awhile, I'd suggest "A Little of This, a Little of That About Jesus".

If you;re shopping for a college student who has grown up not knowing much about Jesus, I'd suggest the "Crash Course Bullet Point Series for College: Who is Jesus Christ?" It is the same basic information as the first book without pictures and straight to the bare facts. Kind of like Cliff notes about Jesus.

And then there's a tiny read for people who just want to hear another person's testimony of Jesus called "Why I Follow Jesus" by Stone Henderson.

In addition, there's a basic book that doesn't mention Jesus at all with an intentionally in-your-face title to attract people who are out of their minds stressed or anxious, "Destroy Stress before Stress Destroys YOU" by Stone Henderson. It gives a nod to the physical response to perpetual stress, which is fatal in some cases, unfortunately. And this book is loaded with stress reduction hacks and mindset corrections.

I've written all of these and used different "pen names". They are all eBooks only at this point EXCEPT "A LIttle of This, A Little of That About Jesus" which also comes in paperback. I noticed that when it sits on the coffee table, the kids pick it up to look at the pictures. One 2 year old wouldn't leave for church without taking it with him! I love it!!!

These books are available in the USA and UK, and possibly some other countries on Amazon.

Thank you for liking and sharing this post to help get the word out there for all of our fellow early Christmas shoppers! Thanks!

If you have Kindle Unlimited, this ebook is free. This was written in 2013 by me. It's short and a testimony to following Jesus. The pseudonym was added later. Short, very easy read.

This is a personal account of why I follow Jesus Christ.

Do you know anyone who is thinking about becoming a Christian? Any Muslim friends who are having dreams about Jesus and don't know how to learn a lot in a short amount of time? Know anyone "shopping around" for a church to attend? This easy read is available in ebook and paperback now! Thank you for sharing this with your friends who are looking for more information about Jesus Christ.

Somebody recommended this book to me today. Has anyone read it yet? If yes, what did you think? It is an account of a young Muslim man who met a Christian in college and was curious about his devotion to his faith. He wanted to learn more about Allah and, well, the title gives it away. The author has since passed away, but he left his legacy in this book. Side note: I've been hearing that a lot of Muslims - even those who have never heard of Jesus - are having dreams where Jesus appears to them.

POV: You're in college. A lot of people seem to know a lot about Jesus Christ and all you've ever heard was his name as a swear word. Now you are wanting to learn about this Jesus quickly, but don't want to be a convert. You just need to be able to converse, present or speak about him intelligently. This book catches you up to basics of what you would have learned in years of Sunday School. The last couple chapters have information you can use that will impress any Christian, since they probably don't know about this information. Now, go out there, woo your friends and pass the exam! Be the most savvy non-Christian they've ever seen!

With everything going on with weather and wars and personal trials, this book is intended to help people learn to deal with it all by reducing their own personal stress. Full of stress-reducing ideas that can help immediately!

I have had a couple of panic attacks in my life and they are scary and overwhelming. Using the tools and skills in this book will help reduce anxiety. 🧡 All the best to you if you are dealing with stress.

We are living in a whackadoodle world! Unless we take the reigns on our own stress management, we can be thrown into what seems like a lion's den. Stressors can be both internal and external, and we can develop the skills to manage our lives to achieve balance and peace. Who wants to be stressed ...

Four books published and ready to go now! :)

"A Little of This, a Little of That About Jesus" by L. Claire
"Destroy Stress Before it Destroys You" by Stone Henderson
"Crash Course Bullet Point Series for College: Who is Jesus Christ?" by L. Claire
"Why I Follow Jesus Christ" by Stone Henderson (very short read)

All books that I've written so far are now published on Amazon. with a couple different pen names: L. Claire and Stone Henderson.

eBook links in comments. The only one that is set up for a print copy as well is "A Little of This, a Little of That About Jesus." It is a basics book for a new Christian convert or someone who knows very little about Jesus. It is nondenominational and was written for anyone over age eight.

All the books about Jesus have variations of basically the same information. One is short, one is for new Christians, and one is for college kids who know nothing about Jesus.

If anyone must have print copies of any of the others, I can format one for you. Let me know!

More coming soon!!!

Ever feel stressed? Oh yah, me too! So, funny story! I've wanted to start a book about overcoming stress, but I put it off for awhile. (Procrastination book coming later. 😅 ) But this morning, I was looking at the news on social media and there's so much going on that I realized I was getting super stressed out!!! And I was feeling a bit angry, which is highly unusual for me. So, with that realization came a secondary realization - I had done this to myself by reacting to the news stories! And I'm the one who always says "avoid news"! This is confirmation why I should avoid news.
However, one good thing came out of it: I started writing the book about overcoming stress! Yay! So, that will be coming up soon! If anyone has a story and would like me to include it, let me know and I'll see if I can work it in!
