He Did Deliver Me 20th Anniversary Edition


Title: He Did Deliver Me from Bondage 20th Anniversary Edition

Author: Colleen C. Harrison

Client: Hearthaven Publishing (formerly Windhaven Publishing)

Date of Work: 2012


About the Book:
He Did Deliver Me From Bondage is the book that introduced the 12 Steps to the LDS Church, explaining the principles in the steps in terms of the restored gospel. First published in 1989, He Did Deliver Me From Bondage was adopted in 1991 by LDS Family Services (then LDS Social Services) as the only text used in their LDS Addiction Recovery Program. To date, more than 160,000 copies have been sold, definitely making it a best seller.

He Did Deliver Me From Bondage had its origin in research Colleen did looking for the principles found in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the Book of Mormon. Colleen reasoned that if these principles that had helped so many alcoholics and other addicts find recovery, they must be part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her search uncovered a multitude of verses teaching the principles found in each of the steps. Although there wasn't room to use them all, these verses formed the framework for He Did Deliver Me From Bondage.

Available from Hearthaven Publishing and soon to be available at local LDS bookstores.

All Fall Down Book Cover


Title: All Fall Down

Client: Julie Bellon

Date of Work: July 2012

Available for purchase at: Amazon.com


About the Book:
Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes we all fall down . . .

When Navy SEAL Rafe Kelly is taken hostage by a man with a bomb strapped to his chest, reciting that nursery rhyme, memories of his last covert mission in Afghanistan hit him hard. Realizing the war he left behind has followed him home, Rafe must use all of his skills to figure out who wants him dead—terrorists or a secret faction of his own government that thinks he knows too much.

As a hostage negotiator, Claire Michaels has seen death up close and personal. But when a Navy SEAL is taken hostage and the prototype of a military precision weapon is used on innocent civilians, Claire must turn to the one man who can help her, someone who holds the key to national secrets, someone she wants to believe in—her father.

Can she trust a man she barely knows and unravel the web of deceit before anyone has to die?

    Author: Julie Coulter Bellon

    Client: Encore Editions

    Date of Work: June 2011

    Available from Amazon.com

    About the Book:
    Kenneth King, a successful Arizona attorney, finds himself facing the most difficult trial of his life—and it’s not in a courtroom. He’s asked to deliver a mysterious disk to Emma James an attorney in Utah, but as soon as Kenneth agrees to it, his life is turned upside down. His home is broken into, he’s shot at, and an attorney at his firm is murdered. Is he next?

    Kenneth contacts Emma, and is drawn to her immediately, but she is a strong-willed single mother who doesn’t want anything to do with the disk—or with him. However, when Emma suffers a brutal assault that is possibly linked to the disk, Emma’s father, an agent in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service steps in to help Kenneth protect her and find out who wants them dead.

    The tension builds as Kenneth and Emma find themselves in a race against time to stop an attack on North America’s defenses. Will the Canadian government be able to help them before the United States is attacked? Will Kenneth and Emma let down their defenses enough to make it through love’s trials?

While there he befriends Elizabeth Spencer, a beautiful American working to ease the suffering in Uganda. Their relationship is just beginning to deepen when Dylan discovers that a biological weapon has been manufactured in the private hospital where Elizabeth works. He realizes the terrorists plan to infect millions of innocent people across Canada and the United States.

    Dylan must catch up with the terrorists in Greece to stop them from taking the weapon to North America. However, he is captured before he can act, and it takes every ounce of Dylan’s physical and spiritual strength to stay alive.

    Purchase from CreateSpace


    About the Book:
    Liz Sartori always had a curious mind. As a child, it got her into trouble. As an adult, it took her west where she traded her Catholic upbringing for life as a Mormon. And what a life it has been!

    The Clueless Investigator is Liz's conversion story, sharing memories of her life as a child, her move to Utah, and a photo gallery of pictures from her past. Liz was an elementary school teacher.

    Her students remember her...

    You were my teacher 26 years ago! I loved it when you let your snake slither around your neck and unsuspecting visitors would get their socks shocked off when they noticed!   ~ Teri

    You were my most favorite teacher ever! I had so much fun on our trips–Green River, Hardware Ranch, Arches National Monument, fossil hunting, haunted houses. You will always be in my heart.    ~Jennie

    You were one popular teacher. We all wanted you! It was my best year–being John Wayne for my report, running 100 miles, burning wood books. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ~ Audrey

    I give you an A+++. Walker is a different child because he knows you. I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for him.   ~ Seana

    Grammar Series (Four Volumes)



    Title: An LDS Approach to Grammar
    Series of 4 books

    Author: Tracy Elizabeth Willburn, Ph.D.

    Client: Liahona Publishing

    Date of Work: 2004–2008


    About the Book:
    This series of grammar books is very different from most approaches to teaching grammar. First, it uses a gospel context to invite the spirit and help students look at grammar in everyday situations with which they are familiar. Secondly, it believes that grammar is best taught by the study of good writing and then emulating those writing principles. Current research is showing that a writing-based grammar program is more effective in teaching students to write well than the present over-use of rote exercises found in most grammar texts.

    Each text is divided into specific concepts with exercises and additional practice suggestions. The interactive examples and exercises are designed to ensure that students understand the concept being introduced. The answers directly follow the exercises. While the fundamental elements of grammar are included and reviewed in each book, the series builds upon itself and asks the student to think a little differently about how grammar is a part of writing.

    Line Upon Line (vol. 1): Where does the comma go? How about a semi-colon? This easy to follow and understand text focuses on sentence structure in writing.

    Precept Upon Precept (vol. 2): When we communicate in writing we want to be clear and understandable. This text looks at grammar as part of the writing process and examines the most troublesome aspects of grammar for the writer.

    Here a Little, There a Little (vol. 3): I don’t want my writing to be boring! This text examines how grammar techniques can be used to make writing more interesting and persuasive. Defines how punctuation and grammar can be used as rhetorical techniques.

    Give Ear and Learn Wisdom (vol. 4): Why doesn’t English make sense? This text discusses the history of English and how it has affected our grammar and spelling, as well as the way writing has changed over the years.
