Battle Buddies
by Rachel Phelps
If there was a single person in our company I disliked, it was the Rev.
Got the nickname by the time we hit Germany, even before they started calling me Bulldog. Nobody’s fault but his own. He wore a cross necklace and kept his little Bible right in his pocket. Not much for the subtle approach, the Rev. (more…)
An Old, Old Story—Baby’s Recitation
| Posted by Sarah Elisabeth under Heart Thoughts, Inspirational Fiction |
I LOVE old books. I recently acquired one in excellent condition with a copyright by D. Lothrop and Company, 1884. It’s a collection of short stories for Christian youth. What are the odds?
The stories are so sweet and full of meaning that I’d like to share some. I’m pretty sure the copyright has expired, or at least no one will sue me for posting. Of course, it’s not near as charming as reading it from the yellowed pages, but it’s the best I can do.

Baby’s Recitation
(Author not noted. How sad.)
They called her the baby, though she was two years old. Of course she was the “cunningest little thing that ever lived.” And among her other accomplishments, she could recite little cunning verses in the prettiest manner! (more…)
Confessions of a Wedding Coordinator

Here’s a flash fiction story I wrote for the Gracylu Originals blog.
And no, I’ve never been a wedding coordinator, and have only attended a handful of weddings in my lifetime. You don’t always have to “write what you know.”

Special Announcement!

Wait, isn’t that the term you use for new arrivals, as in babies? If so, my title is appropriate, because the publication of a debut novel follows much of the same pattern as having your first baby. From conception, through the anxiety and joy-filled thoughts of motherhood, to the impatient anticipation of the big day, not quite sure exactly when that will be, or what it will be like. The agonizing pains of labor, the sweat, the tears, the fear. And then…it’s all over. You hold the newborn book, uh, baby in your arms at last.
No, I’ve never had a baby. No, I’ve never published a novel. But my friend has. (Just the latter, of course!)
Without further rabbit trail hopping, I’d like to announce the publication of The Kingmakers, by Serafia Cross. I couldn’t be more excited for my dear friend. She has worked so consistently on drafting and editing this novel series, The Last King of Legends, it puts me to shame. Visit her website www.SerafiaCross.com for details on the series and an excerpt from the novel.
In 1174 King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem is thrust into power at age thirteen. Only a few individuals know his greatest secret—he is a leper. Despite all their training and abilities, they cannot teach him to live long, so they teach him how to reign great and craft a king myths are made of—a king history almost forgot. They are The Kingmakers to The Last King of Legends.
Book One, The Kingmakers, is now available. Get a copy.
‘Nuff said.
For Him,
Sarah Elisabeth
