New Releases by Martha Bolton

Winner of the 2021 Golden Scroll Awards for Memoir of the Year and Christian Market Book of the Year awarded by the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association FIRST PLACE WINNER IN THE MEMOIR CATEGORY OF THE 2022 SELAH AWARDS For five decades, comedian, actor, singer, dancer, and entertainer Bob Hope (1903–2003) traveled the world performing before American and Allied troops and putting on morale-boosting USO shows. Dear Bob . . . : Bob Hope’s Wartime Correspondence with the G.I.s of World War II tells the story of Hope’s remarkable service to the fighting men and women of World War II, collecting personal letters, postcards, packages, and more sent back and forth among Hope and the troops and their loved ones back home. Soldiers, nurses, wives, and parents shared their innermost thoughts, swapped jokes, and commiserated with the “G.I.s’ best friend” about war, sacrifice, lonely days, and worrisome, silent nights. The Entertainer of the Century performed for millions of soldiers in person, in films, and over the radio. He visited them in the hospitals and became not just a pal but their link to home. This unforgettable collection of letters and images, many of which remained in Hope’s personal files throughout his life and now reside at the Library of Congress, capture a personal side of both writer and recipient in a very special and often-emotional way. This volume heralds the voices of those servicemen and women whom Hope entertained and who, it is clear, delighted and inspired him.

Since we can''t stop all the changes that keep happening to our bodies and our world as we live life on the north side of fifty, we can still laugh and learn from them.

When former Congressman Mark Stedman throws in the towel on his presidential campaign, his only choice is to return to his home state and decide how to spend the rest of his life ... until he meets Josiah Stoltzfus, an Amish farmer from Pennsylvania. Stedman learns more from Josiah in a few hours than in his many years in office. He comes to the conclusion that someone like Josiah should be running the country. Not a career politician, but someone with a little old-fashioned common sense, someone who''s not afraid of rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands dirty. Someone like Josiah Stoltzfus. Using his old campaign headquarters for a base, Mark Stedman determines to introduce a new candidate to America. He pledges to do everything in his power to make sure Josiah gets elected. But can a plain man of faith turn the tide of politics and become the leader of America, and what will he have to risk to do it?

There is life after fifty. In case you were wondering. And best-selling author and very funny lady Martha Bolton is here to wax hilarious on every part of it -- from the perils of exercise to the puzzling tradition of fruitcake, the annoyance of tailgaters to the miraculous powers of pie. Martha''s humour is just as clever (and needed) as ever -- she takes on nutritional labelling, iPhones, and the upside of a recession. With chapters like, ''When One Door Closes, It''s Usually on My Foot'' and ''12-Step Program for Buffet Addicts'', she will have you laughing your socks off. She also writes touching pieces about the things she misses -- land lines, in-store coffee shops, hand-written letters, dressing up, her parents -- and the one thing that grounds her: her faith in God. Laugh along with Martha as she reminds you of what is truly important and turns the normal stuff of life -- after fifty -- into riotous fun.
