I APPRECIATE YOU! YOU'RE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

DID YOU KNOW?— 
Green Light Red Light hit store shelves eight(!!!) months ago. Eight is the number of completion, of perfection. We’ve been selling books around the world, verified by the websites I found. 
I googled the book title plus my name. Surprise, surprise—

§         Churches signed up members for a book study on their own, without connections to Monica or myself.

§         Organizations, including a rescue mission in Huntsville, Alabama, bought GLRL for group studies.

§         Youth leaders purchased the book as manuals to prepare their teams for short-term missions.
We hear it often—GLRL is an excellent read for all ages.

§         A bookstore owner went home to get his wife after he talked to Monica at a book signing, and they invited her to speak at their school.

§         Kids beg their parents to buy GLRL after we make school presentations.
      Book events slowed over the summer because Monica Moore took trips to China, Guatemala, Canada, Kenya and Uganda, but we have a busy schedule starting  October 3rd. The schedule is up on the CONTACT ME page, with changes. as they happen
     Contact me to arrange an event at your church, organization or school. 
     Recently Monica said, “People think they can use friendship evangelism on the mission field, but we don’t have time to make friends first. As we disembark at the airport, we often meet individuals whom God has prepared. We need evangelists who can connect with anyone anywhere and help them repent and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” 
     Monica’s friend and intercessor, Germaine Saucier, agreed. “Green Light Red Light is really well done. It is a manual for young people especially, to show them that they need not fear to share their faith on the mission field. The Lord our God sends His ambassadors out by divine appointment under His authority. The Holy Spirit will always be ahead of them, preparing hearts to repent and receive Jesus Christ.”

Book Reviews by Audrey Hebbert

Havah, By Tosca Lee
Navpress Publishing, September 2008
363 pages, Historical Novel, Paperback
ISBN-10:1-600006-124-9; 13: 978-1-600006-124-0
Tosca Lee’s Havah embraces great scope and beauty as the reader enters the ancient world of the first woman, Eve, who remains fallen while still hungering for the presence of the God she lost in Eden. The author captures the passion, innocence, fatal mishap, and tragedy of this woman—all the emotions and details we never studied in Sunday School. In her nearly 1,000-year life, Eve built her life and marriage in the ancient Middle East, birthed 56 children, and struggled to survive in a fallen world with no models for imitation.
Lee, a gifted wordsmith, puts it all together with beautiful prose and breathtaking description, and brings our first mother, first wife, first sinner to life, with hope, even in the death of Adam. We sorrow with her, rejoice, and untangle the web of life as it presents itself, always entwined in the blue of Adam’s eyes, where her earthly life began. We accept the heart‑strength, the capacity for joy and space for sorrow in our own lives, but Eve was the first and witnessed the beginning. When there was only God… and Adam.
I never read a novel twice, but I double-read this one, with intense delight to the last page, both times.
You need to know that Lee is a realist who doesn’t sugar coat Eve’s life, but reveals the harsh realities as Eve probably lived them. You may want to pre-read the first chapters if you plan to give Havah to a teenage reader. 
Tosca Lee’s first novel was Demon: A Memoir, and her second, Havah: The Story of Eve. She was a finalist for both the 2008 Christy Award and 2008 Foreword Book of the year. She is a graduate of Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. 

The Falcon & the Sparrow, By MaryLu Tyndall
Barbour Publishing, August 2008
320 pages, Historical Fiction, Paperback
ISBN-10-1602600120, 13-978-1602600126

M. L. Tyndall has produced another fascinating tale by the sea. You may not think The Falcon and the Sparrow retains the same hold as her other books, but just try putting it down.
Forced out of France to England in order to save her brother’s life, Dominique Dawson appears to be a sparrow, but her heart is staunch with unbelievable courage for a young woman of the Napoleonic era. She takes on the dark, evil streets of London, alone, and finds herself protected by an angel! She endures hardship, misunderstanding, persecution, and false accusations, and the handsome admiral’s erratic behavior, always carrying within her a wavering but deep faith that she shares with those around her who have lost theirs. Deep wounds created by the death of Admiral Randal’s first wife and his loss of faith begin to heal in the admiral and his young son as Dominique lives her life of faith—and steals naval secrets from the admiral’s desk.
Only by God’s strength does Dominique find courage to steal the secrets for France and stand against unfair criticism. All is resolved at the end and the book concludes with a powerful message. Along the way, Tyndall inserts biblical truths unobtrusively, so that the story line is not interrupted. I gave the book a 5-star rating because of its appeal, especially to teenagers.
Tyndall has been writing for 20 years, and each novel I have read is her best yet.
