Book signings scheduled for Kelley Benson
ADA -- Many Rivers Harbor
announces the publication of "On Target: Devotions for Modern Life,"
a book of devotions written by Ada
area resident Kelley Benson.
Book signings for Benson will be at Karen’s Art and Framing,
108 East Main, Tuesday, October 23, 4:30-6:30
p.m., and at The Good Book Store, 118 Rennie, Saturday, December 15, starting
at 11 a.m.
The book focuses on the problems confronting people in
modern society, Benson says, such as relationships, finances, education,
children, and other facets of a busy life.
"The interesting thing about the Bible is that first of
all, it’s living and active as Hebrews 4:12 states," Benson says.
"The second thing is that it transcends any particular place and time. The
teachings and history of Jesus’ life are not limited to first century. That
means the Scriptures are constantly speaking to you through various forms.
Perhaps deep meditation, maybe a friend's words, or even an event taking place
in your life. That has definitely been the case for me as I've made a habit of
spending time in God’s Word every day. Through constant and persistent study,
we realize the impact of God’s Word on every facet of our lives. The
inspiration for this book springs from numerous events, conversations, and
definitely reflection on the Scriptures."
Benson is a Christian and small town minister who has a
passion for using everyday opportunities to help people recognize how God works
in their lives. He and his wife Jade are intentionally raising their three
young children to see how God should be part of everything people do. He’s been
involved in the ministry since 1997 and has participated in a wide range of
ministries. However, he was inspired by a close Christian mentor to practice
“vocational preaching,” simply put: to work and preach. This allows him the
opportunity to be involved in the lives of other people in a personal way
through secular work while demonstrating leadership in a local church. “To do
this requires the full commitment of our entire family realizing the blessings
that come with being involved in helping people develop a stronger relationship
with God,” Benson says.
Benson currently works as a Realtor® in Ada for Paradigm Realty. He’s been involved
with the investment industry, the insurance industry, teaching at the local
college, and carpentry. He also operates a small gym where he teaches young
people how to exercise properly. And he has a wood shop that he uses as a tool
to educate those in the community who are interested in building, marketing,
and selling furniture.
Autographed copies of "On Target: Devotions for Modern
Life" are now available at Karen's Art & Framing and The Good Book
Store. It can also be purchased online at KelleyBenson.blogspot.com and will be
available soon on Amazon and other online retailers.

Ada Writer Publishes Book in August 2012
The book tells the story of Colby Elliot, who discovers a secret on the grounds of a spooky estate guarded by a fierce black dog. Will his discovery be the answer to his family’s problems, or will it result in deception and violence that could ruin his life? His father is gravely ill, and his mother is burdened with worry and debt. He has to quit the football team, his girl loves someone else, and he is in trouble at school. He thinks things can’t get worse, but they do. Will Colby allow his sense of right and wrong to guide him when he is tempted to choose a dangerous solution to his problems?
The author explains why teenage Colby is the main character of her story. “Before my retirement, I taught junior high and high school English,” Rhynes said. “Girls in my classes preferred romance, but they also liked mysteries and adventure stories. However, boys said they hated to read, so I was always looking for good action stories with young male protagonists. The boys’ attitudes toward writing essays, poetry, and short stories was on a par with cleaning out the septic tank; so I assigned writing prompts over topics I’d heard them discuss when they thought I wasn’t listening. ‘Secret of the Pack Rat’s Nest’ has young male characters (good guys and bad guys), football, fishing and camp outs, romance, and illegal drugs and violence.”
Rhynes began her writing career by researching the lives of American authors and writing biographies and analyses of their work for inclusion in literary encyclopedias. Her book-length biographies include “I, Too, Sing America: The Story of Langston Hughes”; “Gwendolyn Brooks: Poet from Chicago”; “Ralph Ellison: Author of Invisible Man”; “Jack London: Writer of Adventure”; and “Ray Bradbury: A Teller of Tales.” Her works of fiction include numerous short stories and two other novels: “The War Bride,” and “Man on First.” Other publications include the Ada Writers anthology “Creations 2012.” Rhynes is the mother of six adult children and many grandchildren. Her family operates a cattle ranch in Oklahoma.
The book is now available at Karen’s Art & Framing, LLC., 108 East Main, Ada, Oklahoma, 74820, and will be available at the Ada Writers’ booth on PEC Day, September 29.
