McMinnville Book Reveal Event
Great news - "Images of America: McMinnville" will be revealed at an event at Third Street Books on Thursday, June 7 at 6:30pm. Please visit this link for details.
Christy Van Huekelem and I are really excited for you to get a look at the book. Of the three we've written this is the best. It has been vetted by a lot of local historians and includes lots of photos shared by members of the community.
Writing one of these books is a long process that takes many months. I think my back is still sore from paging through years of microfilm at the library!
Come out and get the book and hear our presentation!
Images of America: Salem
Published by Arcadia Press, Images of America: Salem charts the history of Oregon's capital from the first Native Americans who favored the area as a winter campground, through its vital place as the state's capital city. Told by way of hundreds of historic photos and extended captions, this book shows the people, institutions, events, and places that make Salem one of the most interesting cities in Oregon.
The book is co-authored with research Christy Van Heukelem.

I contributed one of the devotionals to this Bible. I chose worship as my theme and wrote the devotional based on the woman who poured perfume on Jesus' feet. You might not think that relates to worship, but it does! Read my blog post about the experience of writing a meditation for this Bible.
It was quite an honor to be included in this project. I encourage you to pick up one of these new Bibles soon!
