Manhattan Gothic - a Tale of Friendship and Tribulation, is fourth in the Jeff Greenaway series of novellas about an eleven-year-old boy growing up in Manhattan in the 1960s. There was a time in our history when the imaginations of boys were seized by creepy doings of the un-dead in Transylvania, that mythical realm of vampires, blood beasts, werewolves, monsters hatched in laboratories, the sundry misbegotten, and the unfortunate victims of atomic radiation. Thus, Jeff Greenaway, eleven years old, develops an obsession with Count Zackuloff, host of the Channel 9 Friday Night horror movie. One October evening in the long-ago nineteen sixties, with his parents at a hit Broadway Show, and in hopes of meeting his hero, Jeff sneaks out of their Manhattan apartment and ventures down to the Channel 9 studios, where, to his astonishment, the "Great Ghoul" himself actually steps out of the elevator in the lobby... and thus begins the boy's fateful journey into the outer precincts of show biz, where the real monsters are the people who run the TV station....

Teachers of the Word are critical to the learning, edifying, and growing process of a Christian. Evergreen Baptist Church has been blessed to have an abundance of good teachers. While this book only high-lights snippets from six teachers, evangelist, missionaries, ministers, and pastors who have spoken God's word on a Sunday Morning, please know that there are and were so many more. Currently many people find themselves struggling with their relationship with God and the Church. I have found that some people have a hard time separating the two. In any case, the words of a Spirit filled teacher can sooth the soul, encourage, strengthen, express love, and provide clarity in the times of confusion. (Titus 2:7-8; 1 Peter 4:10; Deuteronomy 32:2; and 2 Timothy 2:15) As a Sunday School teacher I encourage you today to remove negative thoughts or anything that is controlling your mind and behavior. Start by recognizing who God created you to be, constantly pray for change, teach those who yearn to be taught, be a role model for those who look to you for guidance, love those who hate the Word, live your life based on the principals noted in the Bible, and last but not least stand on the fact that God is in control. Know that there is no reason to fear or have doubt - He will provide, empower, and equip you for servitude! All the messages within this book are spirit filled and are written to give you hope, peace, and a reason to express love based on the love that Jesus Christ extends to us on a daily basis. Also, let it serve as a reminder to draw on your inner power, pour into yourself, indulge in self-love, make time for time, and make taking care of you a priority. Taking time for you is not selfish; it is a tool that you can use to refresh and recharge so that you can please God and live free!

Michael Jacobs is a divorced father of two. He is struggling to pay the bills and seek a direction, while he tries to avoid falling into anxiety and depression. He has always had a shoot from the lip and let the words fall where they may attitude. Along with that, his outward rebellious stance against religious norms has always left him on the outside of them. But this time, by biting his tongue and going along with the "program" for financial security, he has found himself in a regrettable workplace and church quid pro quo. His '30 pieces of silver' goes against every principal he has learned as witnessed firsthand as a child and from the writings of his family history-which he discovered preserved in a set of inherited cookbooks. Worse yet, his conundrum threatens to drag his daughters into the same religious conformities against which he has always fought so hard. Julie Douglas, much the opposite, has rarely stood up for herself, choosing to go along with everything to please others and to "fit in." With that approach, her past decisions resulted in painful consequences and a grief that she has buried deep within her.On the eve of the Christmas season, can these two dispirited co-workers overcome troubling conventions of their religion, investigate an unraveling secret plot at work-which will force them to contemplate one of the greatest mysteries of Christianity, and turn their blossoming workplace friendship into a full romance with its prospects of a transformational love?
