Scarecrows in my Cerebellum: The Fragrance of Confidence, by C. Yvonne Karl, Brentwood Christian Press, soft cover, 121 pages, 2003. (We lose our talents, abilities and even our brains by not developing and using them. The moment we seek to pursue our dreams, our call, or our gifts from God, and want to do something more, to go a step higher, or to push on toward excellence, there is an obstacle in the way. We cannot deny the existence of psychological or physical scarecrows any more than the Israelites could deny the existence of the tribes they had to conquer. To realize the joy of serving Jesus and accomplish what He wants us to, we must first face and defeat those terrifying scarecrows. Ah, what confidence comes with victory!)
East of Bethlehem: The Fragrance of Christmas and other holidays, by C. Yvonne Karl, Brentwood Christian Press, soft cover, 131 pages, 2003. (Provides insights into the holidays through a collection of essays, stories, word studies, and drama that can be used for sermons, Bible studies, daily devotions, group performance, or just interesting reading.)
Treasures In The Fire: The Fragrance of Forgiveness, by C. Yvonne Karl, Brentwood Christian Press, soft cover, 83 pages, 2002. (The fragrance of forgiveness is unique. It is peacemaking. It is loving. It is kind. It is joyful. Forgiveness is the simple principle for living a happy life. Don’t try to substitute contemporary psychology for the time-tested Biblical principle of forgiveness. Every generation since Adam has looked for another way to satisfy the demands of the mind to get retribution for wrongs suffered. There is only one way: forgive. Ah! How sweet it is.)
Brussels Sprouts In The Snow: The Fragrance of Triumph, by C. Yvonne Karl, Brentwood Christian Press, soft cover, 87 pages, 2002.(The fragrance of triumph is sweet to the winner and bitter to the loser. Triumph is the goal of young and old in sports and simple games as well as life’s various and sundry relationships. In striving to gain victory in mundane daily situations, we often overlook the triumph that receives the greatest prize of all: the triumph over death. Ah! How sweet it is.)
Shoes, Silk, and Salt: The Fragrance of Provision, by C. Yvonne Karl, Brentwood Christian Press, soft cover, 85 pages, 2002. (When we think about the fragrance of provision, the accompanying nouns are usually food, drink, clothing, and housing. Certainly these are the physical comforts we desire. However, there are spiritual provisions that are far more important because their value is eternal rather than temporal. Almighty God used His heavenly x-ray eyes to look deep into our heart and see that it was hurting and needed provision for healing. He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be that provision which comes in a variety of styles and sizes including mercy, grace, love, forgiveness, and redemption. It provides spiritual, psychological, and physical healing as well as eternal security in heaven. Ah, how plenteous are the provisions of our Heavenly Father.)
Handmaids in the Reign of Almighty God, by C. Yvonne Karl, Companion Press, soft cover, 95 pages, 1992. (Ever since God declared that He would put enmity between satan and woman, between his seed and her seed, and that her seed would bruise satan’s head, woman has been silenced, degraded, and reduced to less than man. Instead of walking side by side with man, she was condemned to walk in his shadow. Enough is enough! Today God and godly men are releasing anointed women to minister with godly authority in their homes, in the Church, and in public places.)
