The Book of SIMPs:

A Biblical Guide to Love, Loss, and Learning From the Down Bad

Witty, insightful, and hilariously eye-opening. The Book of SIMPs takes readers on a wild ride through history’s most notorious cases of love struck foolishness

The Ancient Art of SIMPing

SIMPing. It’s not just a modern problem—it’s been around since biblical times. Some of the greatest men in history, from kings to warriors to prophets, have fallen victim to this tragic fate. You might think of SIMPs as guys today who send cash to OF models or wait five years in the “friend zone,” but make no mistake—these men have nothing on the biblical SIMPs, who risked their kingdoms, strength, and even their lives just to impress a woman.

But what exactly is a SIMP? And how do you know if you're one?

Gallery of One

By Howard Bell

Some loves fade, some memories linger—but the ones that truly touch our souls become timeless works of art.

Gallery of One by Howard Bell is a soul-stirring collection of poetry that delves into the complexities of love, loss, nostalgia, and self-reflection. Each poem serves as a brushstroke in a beautifully painted gallery of emotions, capturing the fleeting yet powerful moments that define human connection. Bell’s evocative storytelling and lyrical depth invite readers into a world where love is both a sanctuary and a storm, where memories are treasures, and where the heart learns to navigate the delicate balance between joy and sorrow.

At its core, Gallery of One speaks to anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost painfully, or cherished a moment so much that it became immortal in memory. Through verses like Gallery of Memories, Bell brings to life the raw emotions of remembering a love that still lingers in the heart:

Were it not for that one priceless portrait of you

And the warm love that lived here before,

I’d close this gallery of sad, empty dreams

And forever seal up the door.

This poem, like many others in the collection, echoes the universal experience of holding onto love even when time has moved forward. It speaks to the way we preserve moments of happiness, tucking them away like cherished paintings in the gallery of our minds.

Beyond romance, Bell explores themes of resilience, self-discovery, and the changing seasons of life. In Seasons of Love, he compares love’s journey to nature’s inevitable cycles, reminding us that change is both beautiful and painful. His poetry is deeply relatable, drawing in readers who have experienced the highs of love’s summer and the cold distance of its winter.

Gallery of One is more than just a poetry collection—it’s an emotional voyage that invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and loss. Whether you’re reminiscing about a past relationship, celebrating a love that still thrives, or seeking solace in words that understand your heart, Howard Bell’s poetry will leave an indelible mark on your soul. This book is for anyone who has ever loved, lost, and found themselves searching for meaning in the echoes of the past.

From Temptation to Transformation: A Biblical Journey Through the Deadly Sins: Transform your Path

  

From Temptation to Transformation:

A Biblical Journey Through the Deadly Sins:

Transform your Path

Learning about the Seven Deadly Sins can serve as a powerful tool for self-awareness, helping us recognize the destructive behaviors and temptations that can lead us away from God. By reflecting on these sins through the lens of Biblical stories and teachings, we gain insight into the spiritual battles we face daily. The Bible offers clear guidance on how to resist these harmful tendencies—whether through humility, patience, self-control, or love—and invites us to draw closer to God. As we study the consequences of these sins and the virtues that oppose them, we equip ourselves with the knowledge needed to make better choices and seek God’s help in times of temptation. Knowledge of these “demons” allows us to actively guard our hearts and minds, empowering us to live more faithfully, while continually turning to God for strength and direction throughout our lives.

In this book, we began with a heartfelt letter from me to you—a gentle invitation to walk together on a path of healing, understanding, and spiritual growth. As we journey through each chapter, we will dive deeply into the nature of each struggle—the inner battles that may hold us back. We will explore who they are, how they manifest in our lives, and how they subtly prey upon our hearts and minds. With compassion, we’ll uncover what these struggles feed off, how they take root, and most importantly, how we can face and battle them with courage, grace, and love. As we navigate this path, we will embrace the power of empathy and self-love, remembering that healing begins with kindness toward ourselves. For each struggle, we will offer daily affirmations to help strengthen your spirit and guide you through this transformative process.

Above all, we will discover the beauty of repentance—the gentle act of turning back to God with an open heart, seeking His forgiveness and restoration. Reflecting on these struggles through the lens of Biblical stories and teachings, we gain insight into the spiritual battles we face daily. You will find yourself drawing ever closer to the love of God, whose grace and mercy are the true sources of healing, peace, and spiritual renewal. You are worthy of this healing, and you are never alone.

He took her freedom. She’ll take his heart. Major Melodie Jaxxon was never supposed to be here. One moment, she was searching for a cure to the virus threatening her world—the next, she was a prisoner in a strange land, a world where humans, or Canariae, are nothing more than servants, pets, or trophies. She refuses to be any of those things. Malec, the empire’s most ruthless commander, sees her defiance as a challenge. Unlike the others, she doesn’t cower—she fights, she argues, and worst of all, she makes him feel. He should break her, tame her like all the others. Instead, he finds himself wanting her in ways he doesn’t understand. Possessing her is no longer enough—he wants her to choose him. But Melodie has only one goal: escape. She will play his game, let him think he’s winning, even let him believe she might want him back. But the moment he lowers his guard, she will take everything from him. Yet as lines blur between captor and captive, between obsession and something deeper, Melodie begins to wonder… what happens when the man she hates is the only one who can truly set her free?

Upside Down Pete

 

Upside Down Pete

Being different can feel miserable to a child, but the enchanting new children's book, Upside-Down Pete by Duane King, shows kids that being unique can be something very, very special indeed. Pete does everything upside down and he's teased, mocked, and sometimes even admired. He rides his bike steering with his feet. He lies down with his feet on the pillow. But some things are out of reach for him. When he wants to speak with deaf people, he has trouble because he can't sign with his feet, and church people won't let him be in the choir because he looks too odd! Still, Pete doesn't mind being topsy-turvy. One day, a doctor comes to the house and cures Pete. Now right side up, Pete can do everything other people can-though his world now looks upside down to him! Charmingly written and warmly told, Upside-Down Pete has a gentle message about accepting and appreciating people, no matter their differences. It's okay to be different, the book suggests. When you meet someone who is disabled in some way, get to know that person and you will discover that differences can be appreciated and that it is what's inside that really matters. Upside-Down Pete also includes discussion questions at the end of the story for parents and children to mull over. A fun, sensitive, and entertaining read-aloud book, Upside-Down Pete is as inspiring as it is entertaining.

A Word from the Author:

"Upside Down Pete began as a bedtime story that I created back in the 1960s for our two children, Jonathan (JD) and Christine (Chris). They loved to hear it again and again, each time slightly different and with a few of their own ideas thrown in. It dawned on me that it is not only an interesting and fun story but that it is a marvelous teaching tool for children (and even adults!)."

"More specific answers to “Who would buy this book?” include parents who desire to teach their children social graces, teachers, grandparents and other relatives of children, social workers, and family members of handicapped or “different” children."

"The Upside Down Pete books might accompany other books, being sold as part of a set with other books about the deaf, or the handicapped, or with books about social interactions."

"The book has such potential as a teaching aid and as an encourager to “different” children that I believe it might be good to include a “Reader’s Guide” which would list many of the ideas I’ve expressed in this letter, as well as other ideas gleaned from you as the publisher, and/or from some of the special groups mentioned earlier. The teaching and encouraging potential is there and is evident to me, but perhaps should be pointed out to prospective buyers."

Thanks,

JD
