Recent release “Odyssey Down Under: Parts II and III” from Newman Springs Publishing author James Gardner follows Captain Dick Mobley as he continues his expedition through the South Pacific, encountering the various locations of the South Pacific Island, New Zealand, and more.

Drasco, AR – November 11, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

James Gardner, who traveled extensively with his late wife Anita while serving in the U.S. Navy, has completed his new book “Odyssey Down Under: Parts II and III”: a stirring collection of escapades that follows the travels of Captain Dick Mobley as he explores the South Pacific.

“The story, which began in ‘Odyssey Down Under’, continues with Parts II & III taking readers along for another trip with Captain Mobley and his crew on The Endeavor to South Pacific Islands, Norfolk, New Zealand, and Tasmania,” writes Gardner.

“So come ‘down under’ while we sail to some of these islands and grasp their beauty, romance, and intrigue as we continue our journey. I will write some logs and facts about this trip and fantasize how they were and how in reality they are today. For example, in World War II, my brother, Tim, said that Hawaii’s chain of islands were still tropical islands. Honolulu was rightly populated, one hotel and Pearl Harbor base. Now it’s wall-to-wall—or should I say shore-to-shore—with more hotels and stops, this happening to most islands as soon as an airstrip was put in!

“But still, in spite of modernization, the islands hold that ancient mystique and their primitive beauty in their nature. Geography is a call from the islands, ‘Here am I, come to me!’ So come aboard with me for a trip of a lifetime on this ‘Odyssey Down Under: South Pacific Islands, Norfolk, New Zealand, and Tasmania’.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, James Gardner’s moving tale will transport readers to exotic locations full of thrilling opportunities and unique characters, resulting in a beautifully written and expertly paced assortment of adventures.

Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “Odyssey Down Under: Parts II and III” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

LOWRY CITY, Mo. – November 11, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Timothy W. Scott, who’s spent most of his adult life working with teens as a teacher, athletics director, basketball coach, house parent, and youth pastor, and currently serves on the Missouri Christian School Athletics Association committee, has completed his most recent book “Though I Walk Through the Valley: Stories of Tears, Trauma, and Triumph during the Dark Days of Divorce”: a thought-provoking collection of stories acquired from those who have gone through divorce that provide insight into navigating this difficult time in one’s life.

“A friend once said to me, ‘You don’t get a divorce; you go through a divorce.’ This statement is absolutely correct. Thinking someone can walk away from a marriage without consequence is one of the biggest lies of the devil. The trail of destruction left in the wake of a separation and eventual divorce is devastating. Like shock waves during an earthquake, this devastation expands to untold hundreds—if not thousands—of friends, family, and most of all, children of divorce. Divorce can be the most life-shattering event a child or a spouse will ever experience,” writes Scott.

“I know the trauma, feelings, and emotions. I’ve walked through the valley of divorce. However, I also know the peace and joy of Jesus coming alongside and walking with me. Today, 40 percent of all marriages end in divorce. Therefore, a lot of people are walking this same lonely path. For someone who has never experienced it, understanding will be hard; but for someone standing at the beginning of the valley, the road ahead looks almost unbearable. Questions like ‘How do I face tomorrow?’ ‘Does anyone understand what I am going through?’ and ‘Will this ever end?’ plague the mind of a spouse whose life they once knew now lays in a pile of broken hopes and dreams in front of them.”

Scott continues, “I decided it was time to write a book. However, this book would not just tell my journey; it would also tell the stories of several people who can now look back on the worst parts of their journey and give others perspective and hope.”

Published by Fulton Books, Timothy W. Scott’s book is a powerful guide to navigating the difficult feelings that one experiences while going through a divorce, and how to overcome such emotions to reach the other side. Despite the heavy sadness that weighs down upon those who find their marriage at an end, the stories of Scott and others show that life will continue, and with a renewed strength in God, sometimes it can lead to brand new and better opportunities ahead. 

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Though I Walk Through the Valley: Stories of Tears, Trauma, and Triumph during the Dark Days of Divorce” at select bookstores, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

NEW YORK – November 11, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Art Styl, who was drafted and served during the Vietnam War, has completed his most recent book “Poison Ivy”: a gripping and stirring novel that follows JR, a young soldier who finds his life changed forever when he receives a draft notice and leaves behind his home to go to war.

“During basic training in the army, it was common practice for the recruits to exercise and march to the cadence of popular songs of the time to keep the trainees in sync,” writes Styl. “It also took the trainees’ minds off the exercise—sometimes strenuous—that they were engaged in, and a five-mile forced march before breakfast was tolerated with little grumbling. Although the cadence was always the same, the words were often changed to reflect the reality of military duty. At the time, the words of the Coasters’ hit song ‘Poison Ivy’ were adapted to fit the life of a grunt in Vietnam. For example, ‘Poison ivy, poison ivy / Late at night while you’re sleepin’ / Poison ivy comes a-creepin’ around’ was changed to ‘Charlie Cong, Charlie Cong / Late at night while you’re sleepin’ / Charlie Cong comes a-creepin’ around.’

“On arriving in Vietnam, his first assignment was with the Fourth Infantry Division which was commonly referred to as the Ivy Division but was given several unofficial nicknames including the Funky Fourth and the Poison Ivy Division. Although he was only assigned to the Fourth Infantry for one-third of his tour, it was the most dangerous and memorable four months he spent in Vietnam. It seemed fitting that Poison Ivy was the perfect choice for the title of this book.”

Published by Fulton Books, Art Styl’s book is inspired by the author’s own life and the harsh realities he faced upon returning home from war. After seeking out help from the Veterans Administration and being diagnosed with PTSD and major depression, Styl was encouraged to write about his experiences to help him navigate and recover from his feelings about his time spent in the service.

A raw and honest narrative, JR’s story is sure to stay with readers long after its conclusion.

Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase “Poison Ivy” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release ‘Bible & Battlefield: 7 Lessons from the Civil War for our Christian Faith Today: Book 1’ from Covenant Books author Amanda J. Lucas is a thought-provoking exploration of how the Bible, much like history, must be preserved and learned and not glossed over. Through her writings, Lucas explores how the Bible is not just a series of stories, but true history in the form of Scripture.

FOREST LAKE, Minn. – November 11, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Amanda J. Lucas, who practices real estate and was recently installed as church historian for her home church, has completed her new book “Bible & Battlefield: 7 Lessons from the Civil War for our Christian Faith Today: Book 1”: an invigorating Bible study that focuses on examining the connection between the Bible and history to renew one’s faith in God and his Holy Scripture.

“‘Bible and Battlefield: 7 Lessons from the Civil War for Our Christian Faith Today’ is a type of Bible study that weaves history and biblical lessons together in a way that has not been done before,” writes Lucas. “‘Bible and Battlefield’ will guide readers and study groups through several topics ranging from how to handle difficult people, what radical hospitality truly means, and having courage in life and leadership, all while connecting them to people, places, and events in the Civil War.

“The Bible itself is filled with true stories about real people and their experiences. The same can be said about the Civil War; it was about real people, real experiences, and real issues. It is easily forgotten that those true events happened on the other side of the sepia-tone photographs in the Library of Congress catalog. How quickly it is forgotten that the casualty numbers listed in countless textbooks represent real people! It is even simpler to forget that the Bible is not just a collection of unsubstantiated stories but is the real Word of God.

“History is not meant to be forgotten; it is not meant to be glossed over. Neither are the stories in the Bible, especially when those stories and lessons are difficult ones in this age of doing only what is comfortable. The Bible and history are ageless and applicable to every generation, yesterday and today. ‘Bible and Battlefield’ seeks to bring both history and the Bible together in a way that deepens faith and applies that history in a manner that today’s society often believes it is not—real and relevant.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Amanda J. Lucas’s new book is an essential companion for those who wish to study the Bible in greater depth to truly understand God’s ministries and his divine plan.

Readers can purchase “Bible & Battlefield: 7 Lessons from the Civil War for our Christian Faith Today: Book 1” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Covenant Books is an international Christian-owned and operated publishing house based in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Covenant Books specializes in all genres of work that appeal to the Christian market. For additional information or media inquiries, contact Covenant Books at 843-507-8373.

Beatmatch presents OFFLINE, the traveling party for music lovers to meet IRL.

LOS ANGELES – November 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Beatmatch, a Los Angeles-based startup company launches OFFLINE, a new multi-city party experience connecting like-minded music lovers in real life (IRL). Previously, online daters had to endlessly swipe for hours just to receive minimal results while ultimately suffering from dating app fatigue. According to recent studies, 50% of dating app users have never actually met a match in person. However, Beatmatch believes that meeting in person is the best way to truly understand the vibe of someone new. OFFLINE is a no-pressure way to go out with friends, enjoy great music, and meet someone IRL.

Beatmatch is a dating and social app that helps music lovers find relationships and friendships by matching people with similar music tastes. Users are paired with compatible music lovers in their area based on their listening from Spotify and Apple Music. Users can even browse upcoming concerts, parties, and music festivals, discover who else wants to go, and buy tickets together. With Beatmatch, users receive a fresh feed of the best music events in their city so that they always know where the party is. This hybrid online and offline approach to social life gives music lovers the best of both worlds and makes it easier than ever to date and find friends in a safe environment with no strings attached. Beatmatch is backed by some of the most influential investors in the music and tech industries, including Warner Music Group, Rhymesayers Entertainment, Techstars, Concord Music, and Google for Startups.

“Nothing replaces meeting people in real life,” said Chudi Iregbulem, Founder and CEO of Beatmatch. “Artists and DJs are the original matchmakers. With the right song at the right moment, people can’t help but connect on the dance floor or by the bar, and meet someone special.”

OFFLINE hosts its first event this Sunday, Nov. 13 at 3 p.m. at the beautiful High Tide DTLA bar. For a few hours a month, Beatmatch asks people to turn off their phones, unplug, and disconnect from the ever-draining digital world.
