Welcome to the online home of Audra Jennings, a book publicist and crafter. Here I share about both. I hope you'll find books you'll want to read and crafts you will want to order. I live a rather boring, single life. At times I would like to think I am humorous. The kids I teach in Bible class tend to think so. I also blog about current seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I don't know why, I just do.

Annual hide in my house with the lights out day
Luckily for me, the art room is in the back of the house where I can turn my lights on back there without anyone thinking I am home to trick or treat. I hate Halloween, and this is my annual profession of that fact. I won't bore you with a diatribe of why either. I'll share some funny memes in celebration instead.

She’s Got the Wrong Guy: Why Smart Women Settle
(New Growth Press)
The control freak. The angry man. The lazy guy. The unteachable guy. The promiscuous man. The unbeliever. The lone ranger. The unchurched guy. The new convert. The commitment-phobe.
For any woman who has struggled with failed relationships, this may seem like a familiar list. These are the men your friends and family have in mind when they think, “she’s with the wrong guy.” And while the reasons women choose these types of men are complicated and varied, ultimately, they will all let you down.
In She’s Got the Wrong Guy, Deepak Reju offers a different kind of dating book, discussing the types of guys women should not marry and offering biblical reasons why they aren’t suitable spouses. Writing from his years of experience as a pastor and counselor, Reju shares with women his perspective on how to assess a relationship’s strengths from the beginning, how to identify possible pitfalls, and how to have the courage to wait for a relationship that will be a blessing for both of you. Using stories that single women can relate to and highlighting contemporary issues in the modern world of dating, Reju gives readers clear, biblical direction on how to have positive, life-giving relationships with members of the opposite sex.
With a strong, Christ-centered focus, women will better understand why they “settle” for less than what God intends for their romantic relationships and learn to put their hopes and find their happiness in Jesus, not marriage.

Blue Skies and Rainbows
Blue Skies and Rainbows
By Gary L. Mabry
Blue skies and rainbows,
and sunbeams from heaven,
Are what I can see,
When my Lord is living in me.
Chorus:
I know that Jesus is well and alive today.
He makes His home in my heart.
Never more will I be, all alone since He,
Promised me that we never would part.
Green grass and flowers,
all blooming in springtime,
Are works of My master,
I live for each day.
Chorus
Tall mountains, green valleys,
The beauty that surrounds me,
All make me aware,
Of the One who made it all.
Chorus
I’m not ashamed of
the Gospel of Jesus,
For it is the power,
That saves us today.
Chorus

Another thought for another time
I've been noodling over a blog post for a while now and was thinking I'd write about it this weekend. Yeah, right. We have had events for four weekends in a row, and I wasn't as productive during the week as I should have been at night, so it's all about getting stuff done this weekend. One weekend off before another three in a row, off at Christmas and three in the next two weeks.
One day this past week, we were notified that we were drawn from the "lottery" for another event everyone asks us if we will be a part of. If you tell them no, for any reason, when your name is drawn, you don't get another chance. So, we're going to see how it turns out. I'm dragging Angie along with me while leaving Mom and Dad in Corsicana on December 2. That means we need enough merchandise for two booths to not look thin. We have even more work to do!
Did I mention I also have a business trip to Nashville coming up?

Lori Benton reminds readers of God’s power and perfect timing
Part 2 of an
interview with Lori Benton,
Author of Many Sparrows
Set
in 1774 and based on historical facts, Many
Sparrows depicts the harrowing account of a young mother who will stop at
nothing to find and reclaim her son after he is taken by a native tribe. Clare
Inglesby, a settler of the Ohio-Kentucky frontier, finds herself in a perilous
situation when an accident forces her husband to leave her alone on a remote
mountain trail with their four-year-old son, Jacob. Her precarious
circumstances only intensify when Jacob is taken by the Shawnee under the cover
of darkness. Clare awakens the next morning to
find herself utterly alone and in labor.
Clare will face the greatest fight of her
life as she struggles to reclaim her son from the Shawnee Indians now holding
him captive. However, with the battle lines sharply drawn following a conflict
between the Shawnee and new settlers, Jacob’s life might not be the only one at
stake. Frontiersman and adopted Shawnee Jeremiah Ring comes to
Clare’s aid and promises to help her recover her son. However, his deep
familial connection to the Shawnee makes his promise more complicated and the
consequences more painful than either party could anticipate. Can Jeremiah convince Clare that recovering her son will require the
very thing her anguished heart is unwilling to do — be still, wait and let God
fight this battle for them?
Benton
deftly handles the moral complexity of the two ways of life that clashed
against each other as colonists encroached upon Native American territories on
the Ohio-Kentucky border. “I was inspired to write it by my research into the
18th century and also by what God’s been doing in my own heart in recent
years,” Benton shares. “I hope to convey [in Many Sparrows] a picture of what it means not to rely on our own
understanding and strength, but wait on the Lord to work on our behalf.”
Q: Have you always enjoyed studying
history? What drew you to writing specifically about 18th-century
America?
I
had no particular interest in history as a subject until around my sophomore
year in high school, when I discovered the Sunfire Young Adult historical
romance series (Jessica was my
favorite) and Christy by Catherine
Marshall. That’s all it took to engage my interest, although it wouldn’t be
until I started writing historical fiction I began what I’d call studying history.
What
drew me to write about 18th-century America in particular was
nothing more profound than a liking for men’s knee breeches. I’d seen the movie
The Patriot (starring Mel Gibson and
Heath Ledger) and for the first time, for some reason (Mel? Heath?), paid
attention to what the guys were wearing. I’d been thinking of trying my hand at
historical fiction and suddenly knew that if I did, I’d want my male characters
wearing knee breeches. A quick Google search told me the fashion began
disappearing around 1800, so I zeroed in on the late 1700s as I began hunting
for a time and place to set a story. Little did I know I’d taken the first step
on a journey that has lasted nearly two decades. I discovered a passion for 18th-century
Colonial and early Federal American history I certainly didn’t see coming when
I sat down to watch that movie.
Story
ideas set on the 18th-century frontier are constantly spinning
around in my head as I research whatever novel I’m presently writing — too many
to write in one lifetime. The initial kernel/idea for Many Sparrows dates too far back to recall it specifically. For years
I had a file going called “The Frontiersman” because I knew I wanted to write
about one. From time to time other ideas began sticking to the bits in that
file, and eventually I saw the beginnings of a story forming about a man who
lived his life on both sides of that frontier. I wasn’t really sure yet why. Still
on the backburner, I began thinking about what sort of woman I might add to my
frontiersman’s story. Why would she be on the frontier? What might compel her
to cross the line, and in what way might my frontiersman’s path get tangled up
with hers? As I asked such questions, Clare Inglesby eventually formed. At the
same time I started looking at what was happening on the frontier at various
points before and after the Revolutionary War, seeking the exact year for the
story’s setting.
I
landed on two incidents that occurred in 1774, one to use as the inciting
incident from which the rest of the story flows, and the other much deeper into
the story. The Yellow Creek Massacre formed the book’s opening scene. The
murder of nearly the entire family of the Mingo warrior, Logan, on the banks of
the Ohio happened April 30, 1774. It and his subsequent revenge is part of what
escalated the brutal conflict between Native Americans and white settlers along
the Ohio that year, culminating in Lord Dunmore’s War and the Battle of Point
Pleasant in October. Numerous other incidents portrayed in Many Sparrows are drawn from the historical record, but Logan’s
tragedy and Virginia Governor Dunmore’s campaign against the Shawnees are the most
prominent.
Q: Can you tell us about the research
that went into writing this book?
Like
most of my story research, there was a lot of book-reading. My primary source
for the historical timeline of 1774 turned out to be a slender volume in the
Osprey campaign series, Point Pleasant
1774, by John F. Winkler. Though I spent half my life on the east coast and
have nearly 25 years of memories to draw from, I now live 3,000 miles away from
the settings of my novels. However, while writing Many Sparrows I was able to take a road trip with a fellow historical
fiction author. We covered a lot of ground in Ohio, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania, including spending a night in a hotel on the east bank of the
Ohio across from Yellow Creek on the spot where Logan’s family was murdered.
Q: There are many things we never
learn in history class, and it seems as if students are taught less about
history today than ever. What are some lessons from history during this time
period that would be beneficial for us to know, especially from a cultural
standpoint?
If
I could change anything about the way history is taught in school (or was
taught when I was coming up), it would be to add historical fiction to the
curriculum. Facts, figures, dates — none of that translates to caring about
what people in the past experienced or the choices they made that have shaped
who we are as a nation. If you can see the past through their eyes — even
fictional eyes — it comes alive in a way that actually makes an impact on our
thinking (perhaps on our own choices).
What
I’ve learned in my study of those who lived in the 18th century is,
like us, they were flawed human beings, whatever side of the frontier they
happened to be born. Men and women on both sides of the
18th-century frontier made selfless choices, and they made cruel and
grasping decisions. Brutality isn’t limited to one skin color or another, and
neither is grace and love, forgiveness and friendship, or the capacity to have
a heart changed and a life transformed by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit is the only One who can with any finality disrupt the cycle of
enmity that has been in play across the face of this earth since Cain turned
his hand against Abel.
Q: It is well known that traveling
west was a dangerous endeavor, and many lost their lives not only to the
elements and illnesses, but to native tribes. What added dangers did a pregnant
woman face?
Childbirth
was one of the riskiest things a woman in the 18th century could
experience. Death in childbirth was common, even in the best of circumstances.
Couple that hazard with heading into the wilderness perils you mentioned, and
I’m amazed any woman, such as Clare Inglesby in Many Sparrows, survived at all.
In
truth, I know of at least one woman in a similar situation to Clare’s who did
survive: Mary Draper Ingles. Mary was pregnant when she and her two young sons
were taken captive by Shawnees from her frontier home during the 1750s. She
went into labor during the long march to the Shawnees’ Ohio villages. She survived
childbirth, the march, months of captivity, an epic escape and retracing a
journey of hundreds of miles back to her Virginia home. The courage, strength
and fortitude women in far less desperate straits than Mary had to possess to
venture westward to settle the frontier is astonishing to consider. I’m
thankful they did it and I don’t have to.

(Abingdon Press, October 2017)
Give your Christmas a makeover with this practical approach to help your family learn what it means to truly celebrate their Savior.
In the bustle of the Christmas season, it can be easy to get swept up in all of the things to do. But it’s important to pause and remember that our priority should be to spend time celebrating Christ’s birth and not forget to invite Jesus to his own party.
Christmas is far more than a celebration of an event from long ago or a modern holiday centered around shopping. Mindfully take time to listen to how God continues to speak through the Christmas story as the Gospel narratives centered around the birth of Jesus provide encouragement and revelation concerning the love of God and his wisdom for us today.
In Total Christmas Makeover, author and Bible teacher Melissa Spoelstra provides a practical approach for you and your family to turn your attention toward God’s grace day-by-day as you prepare for Christmas. This 31-day devotional presents key scriptures, ideas to implement with each reading, and questions for reflection to guide you in rediscovering rituals, relationship, and rest to connect you more deeply with Christ this holiday season.

(New Growth Press, October 2017)
OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are no longer just technical terms and medical diagnoses, they are part of our common vocabulary and culture.
As Christians, we shouldn’t isolate ourselves from this discussion or dismiss these important issues. But we also should be careful not to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise without question. What we need is a balanced, biblically (and scientifically) informed approach that neither blindly accepts nor harshly dismisses psychiatric labels, diagnoses, and medicines that are prescribed to help those who are suffering.

{MORE ABOUT A WOMAN OVERWHELMED}
A Woman Overwhelmed: Finding God in the Messes of Life (Abingdon Press, August 2017)
“A Woman Overwhelmed” is a phrase with which many women can relate.
But what would happen if we could see the insanity in our pace and embrace our overwhelming God?
There is a reason they say that a woman’s work is never done— because it isn’t! As women, we often are overwhelmed by the demands and circumstances of life, resulting in stress, fear, worry, impatience, fatigue, frustration, and even depression. The truth is that we were created to be overwhelmed . . . not by life but by God! When we learn to be overwhelmed by God, the fruit in our lives goes from rotten to fragrant—filling our days with peace, hope, love, and joy.
In A Woman Overwhelmed, best-selling author Hayley DiMarco shares biblical insights and personal stories to offer a glimpse at the comedy of an overwhelmed life while encouraging us to discover the depths and heights of God’s love and power.
Be empowered to find freedom in becoming overwhelmed with who God is—by learning to focus on what we know about God so that we can hold onto faith even when it seems that all is lost. For it is when an overwhelmed woman gives up the mission of me and exchanges it for the mission of God that being overwhelmed becomes a good thing.
Choose to bask in the abundance of the Father instead of the abundance of life as his unfathomable depths can surely replace our fathomable messes.
