Described by one New York critic as a "New Generation Huck Finn," THE JAKES (definition: a Jake is a young, immature, male turkey) begins at age 13, when a boy is old enough to begin thinking about such grown-up subjects as girls, driving, heaven, and hell; and continuing through high school graduation, The Jakes get into mischief galore. From their bouts with the "fire monster," to their duels with Coach Roach; from skinny dipping to rabbit running; from "haints" in the woods to Aliens in Camp, every reader over 12 will identify with Heater, Perfect, Birdlegs, Deadeye, Boateater, and Rookie. This book is about growing up. It's about the fun and the pain; the heartthrob of young love, and the heartbreak of death; the riotous adventures one dares not tell adults, and the warm close times around the campfire with good friends. The Jakes will make the reader laugh, cry, and just plain feel good! This book is about life. And love. Read it.

"The Book of Betsy: Forever 19," is an epic real-life Love Story of a couple upon whom God poured out many Joyous Blessings as they dealt with the many hardships and heartbreaks of life, ending with the tragic death of Betsy the week of their 55th Anniversary.

To many non-Christians, the image of a Very Religious Person is often that of a staid dour individual with a faintly disapproving air. What if Christians were to reveal to the world just how much Joy there is in living a Christian Life? What if Christians exuded laughter as they go about their daily living? Would more non-believers be open to receiving the Good News with an open heart, if they knew that Christians actually have more fun in Life than any others? This book describes that type Life: sometimes episodes of side-splitting laughter, sometimes tear-jerking experiences, which have blessed the Life of Robert Hitt Neill and his family on their journey. Those readers familiar with Neill's humor in his earlier books like THE FLAMING TURKEY or THE JAKES will eagerly anticipate reading THE HOLY GHOST HAS A FUNNY BONE.

"If you want to go to prison, just call your Uncle Bob: because not only can I get you INTO prison, but I can get you OUT of prison -- when you want out!" Robert Hitt Neill has worked as a volunteer in the Kairos Prison Ministry International organization for nearly two decades, and has witnessed miracle after miracle in prison, which he tells about in MS KAROTALES. Many of these "Karo Tales" are hilarious, such as "The Day We Broke Into The Prison," or "The Day We Blew Up The Prison." Other Karo Tales will have the reader reaching for a hankie, but all of these testify to a ministry whose motto is "Listen, listen, love, love." God has seen fit to bless this "Karo" ministry in countless ways over the 30+ years of its existence, and Neill tells of these blessings in his inimitable humorous and nostalgic style. MS KAROTALES is a companion book to THE HOLY GHOST HAS A FUNNY BONE, and is intended as a fund-raiser for the Kairos Prison Ministry.
