Reviews
How do we know something is wrong if we’ve never thought about it? The Sing might make you uncomfortable. That’s probably a good thing.

The Sing by Chuck Holmes
Sister Bessie says it’s a small thing, getting her Bethel AME choir to compete in the town’s singing competition. But it’s 1956 and a lot of people don’t agree. Sister Bessie’s “small thing” explodes into a chain of events that includes lying, blackmail, kidnapping, and parliamentary maneuvering.

More Than Just Cellular by Chuck Holmes
More than sixty short essays on things familiar that impact our lives, from the past, the present, and the eternal future. The essays touch on family, faith, politics, and some of the more whimsical aspects of the world we live in. The essays are personal—some intensely so—but the personal experiences speak to more general truths. Titles include: Why some people are luckier than tortoises; Just how good was the Samaritan?; Looking for God in all the big places.; The Benefits of Low Expectations; as well as More Than Just Cellular, which is about marriage. Some of the essays are humorous, some are serious, and many are serious subjects with a touch of humor.
