The squat, red-brick, factory-like building, adjacent to the high school campus, was where Dad had taken up ‘wood-working,’ or ‘shop,’ as they use to call it. I still have the small table and shoe-shine box that he made as a freshman student there.
“That’s the Technical Building,” Dad gestured, as we passed the immortal Central High School campus. “That’s where I took shop. Built my first table there. A lot of the young guys used to study and work there. Many of them went off to the war, like me. Most of them never came back home.”
Ironically, during my own ‘shop’ experience in the eighth grade at the Wilson School, I had made a small sign with the words ‘Colman’ painted in red. I later gave that sign to my father. Nearly five decades later, I happened to notice the same wooden sign, its red paint still bright, nailed to the door of his back-alley brick apartment. It was the last item I took from that hidden, lonely ground-floor apartment, just off the back alley across the street from my Mom, after Dad’s death. No one, I suspect, even knew what it was, or where it had come from. I suppose that someone would have noticed it sooner or later, and eventually just discarded it, along with the memory of a small boy and his disenfranchised father, both of whom were suspended in time, separated forever.
As I exited that apartment, a little over a year ago, I tossed the wooden sign in the cardboard box with Dad’s effects, and headed to Mom’s place across the street. It reminded me of the green and white New Hampshire license plate bearing the COLMAN name (I salvaged that metallic memory from Dad’s garage some years ago). All I ever managed to salvage from our relationship, it seemed, were priceless, but equally useless mementoes: cheap canvas military belts, a Limited Edition 200th Anniversary United States Commemorative belt buckle, a bonafide ‘Bear Creek Tool Stone,’ with a small handmade wooden case, and a realistic replica of a ‘rare’ silver dollar, which I first believed to be an original; it was not. I did manage to salvage a few of Dad’s paintings. My father had a passion for Native American themes and artifacts, as did his second wife, Dorothy, who, throughout her entire, sheltered life, enjoyed anything ‘Indian’ (almost as an obsession). I, too, have shared that passion from the time I was just a small boy. Most of Dad’s paintings displayed early American pioneers and log cabins, or peaceful pastoral scenes. But his favorites featured the sea. One large oil-painting, which he entitled “The Rising Storm,” actually won a pink ribbon.

Father of the Man
Before returning home that day, and at my request, Dad took me to the outskirts of Manchester, on the old Goffstown Road (in the direction of Glen Lake). Just at the fork in the road which led northwest toward the town of Goffstown and Weare, the old Dunbarton Road headed due north to the right, parallel to the Merrimack River.
The original township of Dunbarton and Weare, settled during the day of General John and Molly Stark, went all the way to the river. On the morning of the same day, we spent several hours revisiting and exploring the old homestead (the ancient ‘Eliot or Morse’ house – built in 1822 - at the junction of Morse and Montalona) in Dunbarton. An early picture of the Dunbarton house features three crude chimneys and two towering, but leafless pines standing like tired sentinels with bare, thinned arms ready to defend the lonely, feeble fortress at all cost against no one in particular.
There is a strange similarity between my father’s and my high school, with some minor exceptions, which requires little speculation or imagination to appreciate. To some extent, it amounts to a repetition of history. Can it be construed as mere coincidence that both Dad and I attended the same high school? Not really. No mystery there. It is intriguing, nonetheless, to consider that my father, who grew up in Manchester, would shuttle off to the Pacific theater as a teenager, only to return, move to a remote area of Dunbarton, and gravitate back to Manchester, his only son in tow, and that his son would later wander the same streets (within a matter of block), only to retrace his father’s steps to the same old yellow-brick edifice a few years later.

Peter Coleman
Dad spent a brief portion of his early childhood at the old ‘Colman Estate’ at the foot of a hill on a seven-tenths-of-a-mile stretch in old Auburn, New Hampshire. I have only seen the old one-story clapboard ‘mansion’ twice. There had been and old gristmill somewhere out in the swamp behind the house, but no one seemed to remember the exact location. The day that Dad showed me the house, he simply, but proudly explained, in passing, that it had been there, in the same house, that he had lived as a boy. Maybe it was just a repressed memory; maybe it was the only simple, surviving memory had had to cherish. How could he have known that his parents’ rudimentary, but blissful relationship would end in divorce and another fractured chapter in the Colman odyssey? Did the eventual disappointment of infidelity irreparably damage his innocence, contaminating his capacity for enduring love? Or did the rude, unforeseeable turn of events affecting his young life just render him wiser and more conscious of his own frailty, his own vulnerability, and his own flawed morality? The answer cannot be known.
We continued on soberly to the Auburn Cemetery where most of the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Colman-Moy clan have been laid to rest beneath a proud row of limestone and granite headstones on a prominent brow of the nearest hill. Dad seemed to possess a sense of pride as we perused the silent, stolid monuments, the only tangible vestiges of our humble Auburn history. ‘Inglorious Miltons’ perhaps?
I really don’t know whether those were happy days for my father. Folks worked pretty hard from dawn to dusk in those days, without many distractions. There were no trains nor trolleys servicing the Colman Hill, and it was a good half day’s buggy or wagon ride to the city. There was too much to do on the farm to waste time spending one’s hard-earned money on frivolous activities. Oh, once in a while there was a county dance at the Grange Hall. Nearly everybody who could walk would go to the dance, except a small group of local ‘Friends’ (Quakers), or other such straight-laced religious folk whose strict Protestant traditions against attending ‘worldly’ functions prevented them from enjoying such potentially corrupting intercourse (an old, but equally functional English word for conversation…).

More Typsetting Info
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, your book is proofed at least twice, once after the edit and once after typesetting. These proofs are performed by two separate proofers.
The typesetting process involves both technical and artistic elements. The technical side has to do with the proper alignment of the book, including the placement of headers and footers, and the creating of a flow that keeps the reader from being frustrated. This process can be very difficult because it is like working with one large file. If you change something on page 9 of a 100 page book, then that one change could impact pages 10 through 100, thus causing the typesetter to reformat or at least re-examine the flow for the entire book.
The artistic side deals with how a typesetter presents the book. This could include a unique presentation of the chapter headings, font choices, a special design, picture insertions, call-out boxes or Scripture layout. Typesetting is one of the most critical and time-intensive phases of a book’s creation, yet it seems to be vastly undervalued by many low-budget publishers. As a result, many authors who believed they were getting a quality product from a publisher ended up with an inferior book that could not be promoted properly within the publishing industry due to shoddy typesetting.

Typesetting formats

At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, your book is proofed at least twice, once after the edit and once after typesetting. These proofs are performed by two separate proofers.
The Formatting of Your Book
Typesetting is converting the “typewriter” look of a manuscript into lines and pages of type that make it look like a professional book.
A well typeset book must meet the industry standards concerning leading, kerning, headers and footers, and these areas are critical to the success of your book (however, it is not critical for you to understand these terms). Typesetting is often the most ignored phase of a book’s creation process by self-publishers, and even by many subsidy publishers. It is frustrating for us here at CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing to constantly see the poor typesetting jobs our authors books have received from other publishers. We are constantly having to undo the work of others just to bring the book up to a level that is acceptable within the publishing industry.

Richard Barth Basic Bible Docterine
Often when we hear the words "doctrine" and "theology" we are left with an idea of abstract religious concepts of interest only to those trained in the field. In their simplest definitions, though, doctrine is teaching and theology is the study of God. Nothing can be more practical and exciting than coming to know and understand our Lord, and what He has taught us through His Word.
This book brings to written form a Bible study course developed by the author during his almost 50 years of ministry. Its purpose is to take a systematic look at the teachings of the Bible and to do so in such a way that any Christian, regardless of his educational background, can understand.
Over the years this Bible study course has helped many come to a practical understanding of the Bible. It has helped them see that the Bible is not teaching a religious system but rather it is revealing God and His ways, man and his need, and God's provision to meet man in his need. Through approaching the scriptures in this way we come to see how truly awesome God is, and how truly life changing a relationship with Him can be.

David Adkins on the Royal Bloodline
Attack on the Royal Bloodline is a book designed to reveal the awesome conflict that has been waged against good and evil, right and wrong, night and day, darkness and light, and finally the battle with the satanic order and God.
Since the beginning of Creation there has developed a struggle in the heavens, which has in our day and time manifested in the earth realm, in hopes of preventing God from receiving true worship and praise in which He is rightly deserving of without dispute.
Furthermore, this book will assume the responsibility of showing believers their worth and positional blessing that are due them, while at the same time revealing our relationship in the family of God.
There is a strong wind weeping throughout the Church society called identification. Everyone is trying to search out their true purpose and reason of exsisting in order to determine their future. Furthermore, many feel that their parents decided to have a child and you came into form, after a night of passion.
The Word of God declares that children are a gift from God. The Word of God also speaks of God knowing us and our destiny, before we know ourselves. Therefore the Lord has already determined our footsteps, but there are few that tap into their true purpose for life.

Who Should Use a Ghostwriter?
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, your book is proofed at least twice, once after the edit and once after typesetting. These proofs are performed by two separate proofers.
A good deal of the ghostwriting we do is for pastors and national leaders who have the talent to research an inspired message, but not the time to write it as a book. That pastor or leader clearly has an awesome, powerful message, but if he/she does not have the gift of writing, does that mean the book idea should perish?
Absolutely not!
That is why we offer writers who have a gift of writing to take the well-researched, spoken message and convert it into a powerful, written message.
Ghostwriting is considered the highest level of editing. The material provided to a ghostwriter is usually in raw form, such as notes or an outline. Some ghostwriters may even require interview sessions with the author so they may incorporate the information correctly, and make sure the personality of the author is in the book.

Types of Editing
1) Ghostwriting
“Ghostwriting” is a term used in the publishing industry to describe when an author needs the professional help of a skilled writer to assimilate the information they have researched and developed, and help put that information into a book. If you think that hiring a ghostwriter to help write your book is “cheating”, please know that simply is not true.

John Booko
Reverend John Booko, an Assyrian American, has studied the Scriptures related to the Assyrian people in great depth, with its promise in Isaiah 19:23-25 which states:
"In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria...inthat day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them saying...Assyria my handiwork..."(NIV).
God used Assyria in the past when it was a powerful nation and He used Assyrians to spread the Gospel to faraway lands. So, He plans to use the restored Assyria in His future.
Over 150 times, the Bible refers to Assyria and the Assyrians. Jesus grew up among the the Assyrians in Galilee and spoke the Assyrian language which is Aramaic. Jesus and the apostles preached in the Assyrian language and the New Testament was first written in the Assyrian language.
While persecution drove many Assyrian Christians from the areas of present-day Iraq, Turkey and Iran, they are being stirred by the Holy Spirit to again seel their destiny according to the Scriptures.
Might they be a missing piece in the Middle East puzzle?

Proof and Edits
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, your book is proofed at least twice, once after the edit and once after typesetting. These proofs are performed by two separate proofers.
If an edit is recommended for your project, this would be the first step of the process. Although our editors are also accomplished proofers, when they edit they concentrate on one thing: the readability and flow of the book. This focus allows our editors to make the necessary changes to the document so it becomes easier to read, and reads with a sensible, logical flow. This kind of editing takes experienced writers, and here at CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing we have some of the best in the country, including our own, award-winning Head Editor, Dr. Michael Wourms, who has ghostwritten over 80 books, and has edited hundreds of others (many became best-sellers).

More Proofing Information
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
When we ask our proofers to proof a manuscript, it comes with very specific instructions to our proofers; it means “check for spelling errors and simple grammatical mistakes.” The reason for this is simple: a proofer must have a different set of eyes than an editor. When proofing is combined with editing, the editor then must look at the manuscript with two sets of eyes, and that degrades the quality of both processes.

Proof and Edit Are Important
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
The Proof and edit of Your Book
The proof and edit of your manuscript is very important. You will want somebody who truly knows what the standards are in the publishing industry to prepare your book.
There is a basic difference between a proof and an edit. A “proof” means that the manuscript is prepared to be correct in punctuation and grammar. editing can be used in a broader sense, and includes proofing under its umbrella, but for publishing reasons we will explain each as a separate function.

We Transcribe Anything!
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
Transcribing is not limited to just messages!
We have had many secular authors who have felt more comfortable telling their stories into a tape recorder than writing it down on a piece of paper, or typing it into a computer. The transcribing service we offer is just another method that enables a person with a vision to complete a book and bring that vision into completion.
Now you know why we frequently declare, “If you’ve shared it, your work is done.” So please, do not hesitate, send us your taped message or notes – and before you know it, you will be the proud author of a bookstore quality book.

How to Create Your Book by Transcripts

With CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, it is simple and you have an expert typing your manuscript at an extremely reasonable price.
CSN books and Legacy Line publishing have performed this service for authors all over the country, including some who have completed multiple books through this process. The first book evolved from a series of great message on the power of prayer. Our author was frequently told that the series on prayer “needed to be a book,” so he eventually had the material transcribed and edited. Since then, he has reprinted the book many times.

If You've Shared Your Message, You've Got a Book!
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
If you have shared and message and then had someone say, “That would be a great book”, you are a candidate for this service. CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing only charges $1 per taped minute for a transcript. That means, if you shared a 45 minute message, we would only charge you $45 to transcribe that message, and that money would flow directly to one of our working mothers who earn extra money from their homes to help support their families and still be “stay at home” moms.
The other benefit to having CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing do your transcriptions is that you are no longer dealing with the awkward situations that can arise when using a volunteer who takes too long to complete the task.

CSN Transcribes Tapes to Create Books

Transcribing
“If you’ve have taught the topic, your work is done!”
CSN books started out three decades ago as a writing service; we grew into a publishing company by meeting the needs of our authors, once the book was written, for cover design, publishing, distribution and marketing. One of the specialties of CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing is to take a message that has been recorded on an audio tape or CD and turn that message into a bookstore quality book.
This process begins with transcribing, where a transcriber listens to the message and types it word-for-word into a computer, preparing a transcript that will allow the editor to do their job. Creating a book from transcribed tapes demands a talented editor who has the ability to extensively edit a book.

NO TURNING BACK, an excerpt from the book MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
NO TURNING BACK - GENERATION GAP
I am sure each of you could write your own book in connection
with your own experiences as a teenager or raising
one. I certainly would never want to go back to those days.
I think out of all my life experiences so far those were definitely
the most uncertain and scary parts of my life.
My heart goes out to the teenagers of this world. They
are caught somewhere in a big gap between childhood and
adulthood and that is a very difficult place to be. I really do
not understand what happens between girls and mothers
during that time but a study carried out by Dr. Terri Apter
concluded:
“Mothers and their teenage daughters have a spat lasting
15 minutes every two and a half days. In contrast, adolescent
boys only clashed with mom for six minutes once
every four days.”
We know we love each other deeply and yet we fight just
as passionately!
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom. If you are enjoying the excerpts from this book and want to read more, you can purchase a copy of the book by visiting csnbooks.com .

Get a Fair Publication Quote
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
We have often wondered how a “publisher” could quote a price for the full production and manufacturing of a book over the phone – without seeing the manuscript first. How do they know what level of edit it will need? How do they know what level of typesetting is required? It is like calling an automotive body shop, after you have crashed your car, and asking, over the phone, “How much it will cost to fix it?” The first thing the body shop manager would say to you is, “You will have to bring it in so we can have a look at it.”
Would you trust the body shop, or the price they gave you, if they quoted a price to fix your car on the phone? Of course not! So why would you trust somebody who prices something as personal and individualized as your book with a phone or “standard” quote?

What Pre-Press Includes
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
Pre-press includes the proof and edit of your book, the typesetting of your book, and the design of your cover (we will examine each of these categories in detail later). In this stage of the process, a reflection of who you are and what you want your book to be starts to take form. Skipping this process or taking it too lightly is like skipping the planning stage of a car design and going straight to manufacturing. Would you want to ride in that car?
At CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing we present you with a clear demonstration of our abilities by providing you with your free review before you make a final decision. In this review you will receive feedback about the content of your book, as well as sample edit from your own material. We provide this service as a blessing to our clients; it also allows us the opportunity to properly give your manuscript the attention it deserves, and allows us the opportunity to determine whether your book is ready to become part of CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing’s team of accomplished authors.

The Pre-press, or the Preparation Stage
of publishing Your Book
At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, the publishing of your book involves three major areas: pre-press, printing and marketing. The first important area is the pre-press stage, which is the preparation phase of your project.
During this phase, we do everything possible to present your book in the best possible light to the world. One of the major problems with the subsidy publishing industry is that so many of these publishers try to focus attention away from this phase because they do not have the ability or the time to properly prepare your book. Instead, they just print what you submit without proper editing, proofing or formatting. As a result, it is possible you will end up with books so flawed that the have no commercial value.

JACK OF ALL TRADES, an excerpt from the book MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
ADOLESCENCE - JACK OF ALL TRADES
During that time we wear many hats and play many
roles. We are the nursemaids when they are babies, the
cooks, the dishwashers, the laundresses, the grocery shoppers,
the housekeepers, the nurses to heal physical and
emotional wounds, the dieticians, the chauffeurs, the seamstresses…
on and on it goes. If this list does not boost your
self-esteem, Women, I do not know what would! A mom is
definitely a jack of all trades.
I would like to impart some words of wisdom from
things I have learned over the years and am still learning
to do with my own children and now grandchildren:
Look at and treat each child as a unique individual.
Be realistic in what you expect of them.
Allow them the freedom to make mistakes just like you
did and still do.
Encourage them daily.
Allow them to make choices for themselves.
Teach them responsibility:
“Even a child is known by his deeds, Whether what he does
is pure and right” (Proverbs 20:11).
Accept unpleasant feelings from them; help them know
how to deal with what they are feeling and channel it into
positive arenas.
Above all, maintain a sense of humor: “Then our mouth
was filled with laughter…” (Psalm 126:2). Sometimes all it
takes is laughter to change a very bad situation into something
completely different.
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom.

Father of the Man Peter Colman
“Well,” he slowly allowed, “Horace was a blacksmith. He and I worked together in that old barn;” as he nonchalantly, but with a certain pride, pointed to a small, rust-colored weathered barn just across the road from where we had parked the car. “If you’re looking for Horace, he’s in the old cemetery just up the road toward town.”
He resumed peeling his potatoes. I wondered if he just kept those same potatoes in the pot and pretended to peel them every day until someone had the curiosity to stop and ask him what he was doing. But, I had no real reason to doubt the old man’s story, or the integrity of the potatoes for that matter. What really made the day complete was my son’s comment once we reached the car: “Dad, I can’t believe it!

He resumed peeling his potatoes. I wondered if he just kept those same potatoes in the pot and pretended to peel them every day until someone had the curiosity to stop and ask him what he was doing. But, I had no real reason to doubt the old man’s story, or the integrity of the potatoes for that matter. What really made the day complete was my son’s comment once we reached the car: “Dad, I can’t believe it! I really didn’t believe all those stories you told us, at least not until today, about all those ancient New Englanders who never seemed to travel too far from their homes. He’s just like the guy in your story!”

Father of the Man by Dr. Peter Colman
“Good morning,” we intoned.
“Morn’n,” he replied, without changing his expression or position, or his preoccupation with the potatoes. I couldn’t help but think of the familiar New England story of the city-slicker who happened by the home of a similar old gentleman – “Heh, how’s it go’in,” inquired the young man. “Howdy,” responded the kindly gentleman. “Have you lived here all your life?” After which followed an extended pause. “Not yet,’ was his response. End of conversation.
Somehow, that morning, I found myself taking the lead. After all, my Dad had been gracious enough to chauffeur us to the spot. The least I could do was volunteer as virtual tour guide. I smiled and extended my hand in greeting:
“My name is Peter Colman. This is my Dad, Robert Colman, and this is my son, Jonathan, three generations,” I beamed. “Would you be kind enough to help us with some information? We’re looking for Horace Colman.” For some strange reason, which I only now think of as I write, I assumed that Horace was still alive. There was a long, guarded silence, and then the gentleman asked rather nonchalantly, and with just a pinch of justifiable suspicion:
“Why do you want to see Horace?”
“He is my Dad’s uncle and my great-uncle, my grandfather, Sumner Chase’s brother.” There was a longer, but innocuous silence.

Colman Father of the Man
We entered the old town of Newfane early in the morning when traces of fresh dew were still visible. The landscape was hilly and thick with trees. It seemed as though we were just winding through the woods without any reasonable destination until the narrow, pock-marked pavement yielded a small rise in the terrain. We found ourselves on a small hill at the entrance to the town. We slowed to a near halt to savor the view when I happened to see an elderly gentleman seated on a makeshift stool in front of an old clapboard shack. He had a long white beard, and was pealing potatoes; he never looked up. We stopped the car, and the three of us slowly approached the quiet old man.

"Our destiny is before us! We have all been crafted by God to be leaders in evangelism and missions, in confronting our culture with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. God has positioned us to call this nation to prayer and awakening. We must not hide in the stuff of our own destiny." --Dr. James T. Draper, Jr., President Emeritus of LifeWay Christian Resources
"When you start touching the wounds in the body of Christ, it's not just enough to watch it from afar off. When you get up there and you touch HIm, it's a part of you.

You're putting your arm around a little kid who doesn't have anyone, you put your arm around a teenager in trouble." -- Bill Wilson, President and Founder of Metro Ministries International

Walter Lee Alive From The Dead
Alive From The Dead is not a book about the recent craze over the phenomenon of having a life after death experience. Nor of having passed over the boundary that separates life and death, only to have seen the light then being told to return to one’s present status of physical life.
Alive From The Dead is a book that can help all Christians to have a better living relationship with their own spouse, fellow man, church, and God. The book is excellent for use as either...
1) A Personal Study Guide
2) Church Study, or Group discussion
3) Sermon Topics
4) Bible Classes
5) The Perfect book To Leave With That Prospect During Visitation

Adolescence - This Too Shall Pass, an excerpt from the book MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
ADOLESCENCE - THIS TOO SHALL PASS
Take heart, Moms, like everything else, this too shall
pass. It may last for many more months than we like to
think about or even the equivalent of a few years (which
sounds much more painful to type) but it shall pass. Hold
on to the life preserver God has thrown to you: His words
and His promises. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2
Corinthians 5:7).
There was an article written by Patricia McCormick
that says, “If you can’t fall apart with good old Mom, when
can you fall apart?” I think this is speaking to us about the
comfort level our children feel to let it all out with us moms.
Many times this is a very unpleasant experience but one I feel
is necessary for our children’s growth. Children know
(or should know) that Mom will love them no matter what
and they must have someone to vent on, especially in those
delicate teenage years; so put on your bulletproof vests,
Moms.
In 1987 the Los Angeles Times syndicate printed an article
and I took this passage from it: “Giving birth is little
more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage
of a child from the uterus. Then, the mother is born.” There
is so much truth to that statement! It is from that moment
on that we embark on a journey, with no turning back.
Whether our child is in the newborn stage, the toddler age,
the teenage years, young adulthood, a grown woman, whatever
it is, we have the awesome role of being their mother.
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom. If you are enjoying the excerpts from this book and want to read more,
you can purchase a copy of the book by visiting csnbooks.com .

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS A Special Blend, by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
ADOLESCENCE - A MOTHER’S LOVE
Sometimes I think only a mother can love her adolescent
daughter. Our daughters’ struggle to wriggle away
from us in order to build their own identities is a brutal
experience for both mother and daughter.
You never know from second to second which mood will
come forth from this pubescent standing before you. One
minute they are happy to see you and desire your undivided
time and attention and the next they are shutting their
door and shutting you out of their life (at least it feels that
way).
Teenagers are living somewhere between the privileges
of an adult and the carefree time of childhood. What an
amazingly difficult position to be in!
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom.

Carl D. Smith
After high school graduation, Carl enlisted in the U.S. Navy, was assigned to Guam and there in a dorm found himself being offered heroin for the first time. After multiple refusals to get high, he gave in once, which launched a 15-year downward spiral in his life. Carl became entrenched in the drug world as a heroin and cocaine user, smuggling drugs and living only for his next fix.
Personal experiences are brought to life from inside his maximum-security prison. “Drugs took me where I did not want to go, made me stay there longer than I wanted to stay, demanding more of me than I wanted to give.” He communicates what it felt like to be homeless, hopeless and a convict lost on the very streets he grew up on. He did not care whether he lived or died…but a much higher power did.
When all hope was lost and it looked as if he would die a dope fiend, an old friend wrote him in a letter while in prison about a Christian program called Teen Challenge. Here he would be loved, taught the Bible, and how to live a life free from drugs and the horrible life he knew.
This poignant, true-life story will grip your heart as you journey with a man on The Ultimate Pursuit.

Diane Crawford
The Giftless Church brings to the reader a prophetic awakening that is speaking to us that there is so much more available to those who are prepared. There is a move of God revealing again as Pentecost did, an empowering experience that is available for every believer—miracles, signs and wonders working through lives to bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church today is in desperate need of the “falling upon of the Holy Spirit.” Crawford speaks of the “falling upon” as a preternatural superimposition (the supernatural coming upon the natural. The Giftless Church gives the secret of empowerment to live a holy, consecrated life and to accomplish the greater things our Lord spoke of in John 14:12: “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”

ADOLESCENCE, an excerpt from the book MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
ADOLESCENCE
I truly believe until we experience things we do not fully
understand how they really feel. This holds true with so
many aspects of raising children. Not until our own children
hurt us the way only they can do we realize how much
we hurt our own parents and how it felt.
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom.

from The Earth Declares by Nicole Ramirez
The word “declare” is not used much anymore. Webster’s II Dictionary tells us that the word declare (transitive verb) means, “to state formally or officially; to state emphatically; affirm; to reveal: show; to make a full statement of.” Whether you are man or mammal, bird or flower, the way you dress declares your personality, declares who you are. Flowers give forth their all—ALL that is in them and some only bloom for a few short hours. They are a beautiful example of pure declaration.
We as humans show our declarations in the way we dress, how we work, as we garden and in how we help a friend. We should learn how to declare the positive, speaking it out over and over until that seed not only lands on fertile soil, but as it is planted, watered and fertilized it will then bloom and declare. Yes, everything declares—birds, bugs, flowers and all of life. It is time to positively declare.

Bette Hammang
Blaming God for the premature death of her mother, at the age of 16, Bette Hammang turned her back on Him as ran as far as she could run. Nursing resentment led her into a life of desperation for a yearning she could not name. She became pregnant, experimented with drugs and at the young age of 21 was a full-blown heroin addict. She spent the next 30 years convinced that it was only a matter of time until the drugs did what she never had the guts to do—kill her.
In 1976, she attended a church service that introduced her to the Savior, but it would take her 20 more years to understand that He was unable to be her Savior until she made Him the Lord of her life. She stumbled through another marriage, losing custody of her child and frequently cheating death. In 1999, she turned herself into the court after a lengthy run from the law, and Jesus had her right where He wanted her—in jail as His captive audience.
The book and Bunk 51 is the story of Bette and her love letter to the unbeliever. To those who think they have no hope and are beyond redemption, this book is for you. God does exist, He has a plan for your life and He is still in the business of doing miracles—Bette knows…she is one. With God, all things are possible!

MANAGING THE TEEN YEARS, an excerpt from the book MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
MANAGING THE TEEN YEARS
The teen years were the most difficult for my daughters
and I; maybe a lot of you women can identify with me on
that. All of a sudden your wonderful child is crouching
down in the backseat, not wanting to be seen with you in
public places. They no longer carry on an actual conversation
with you but just sort of grunt or mumble as they walk
by. They look different, they smell different and they certainly
act different.
But guess what? More than anything they still need us.
They may be as tall as we are and wear bigger shoes, have
thoughts and ideas of their own and are practically adults
but they need us more than ever.
I like the way Ed Asner puts it: “Raising kids is part joy
and part guerilla warfare.” We must fight every day to keep
the communication lines open with them, to pray for and
over their lives… never stop. Dr. Dobson says it like this:
“Stay on your knees. Hang on to your faith like a life
preserver. The Lord is at work in the lives of your children,
even though you see no evidence of it at the moment.”
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom.
