Y.L. Mitchell created Lola's Prayer Cocktail as a short and fun 10 "recipe" prayer book that addresses how life's challenges coincide with our prayers. As a former high-school English teacher she made sure to make the cocktail easily digestible with Bible stories about our favorite Biblical women, told in an evocative and relatable way. The recipe also contains famous quotes, and fun anecdotes. The topical devotions, reinforce the similarities every sister faces, in her Christian walk, and highlights the power of God "to see you through". This book is great for young Christians or anyone new in their walk with Christ.

Some might say he’s courageous, while others would say he’s daring, maybe even a little crazy.

In no time, however, Joe discovers that she’s up to more than cooking and cleaning, and she has plans to destroy his family. Joe’s effort to save them results in perilous, sometimes humorous, encounters, and leads him on a journey through the threatening wilderness where he faces his greatest challenge yet.

The habitats at Grandfather Mountain will always be named for Mildred the Bear, the nicest bear that has ever been. When Grandfather agreed to obtain two bears to be released into the wild to help build the bear population in the mountains, by mistake, the Atlanta Zoo sold Grandfather a young bear that the office staff at the zoo had raised on a bottle. Consequently, when that young bear was released, she did not revert to the wild. She did not know that she was a bear. She had none of the hostility sometimes associated with bears; she just wanted to hang out with the people. She was given the name Mildred. -- Hugh Morton
