The famous Southern humorist Jane Jenkins Herlong returns with her 5th book titled “SWEET TEA SECRETS FROM THE DEEP-FRIED SOUTH: Sassy, Sacred, Southern Stories Filled with Hope and Humor.” The trivia/novelty book is suppose to be filled with 50 unique tales that are true and all-encompassing faith stories, according to an official press release by Biscuit Media Group.

[Guest Blogger] How Novels Can Equip Us to Be More Compassionate
Courtney Walsh
I learned to write in a nontraditional way. I didn’t major in creative writing and honestly don’t think I ever took a class specifically meant to teach me to write. All of my education on the subject came from the theatre.
At first glance, it may seem that a theatre degree is completely unrelated to the field of writing, but somewhere along the way to writing my first novel, I discovered it’s the exact opposite. I learned to create characters in an unorthodox way—by stepping into their shoes and bringing them to life on the stage.
[Interview] 7 Questions With Billie Jauss
BTSCelebs: Who is Billie Jauss professionally?
Billie Jauss: I am an author of two books, “Distraction Detox” and “Making Room.” I host the podcast “start small BELIEVE BIG,” and I speak at events large and small sharing how we can experience peace and purpose as we overcome the obstacles we face.
Tell us about one bible passage that is the best summary of your new book “Distraction Detox.”
Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Christ has given us freedom that we need tap into. As we leave behind the self limiting thoughts that hold us back we can stand firm in our faith. If we continue to hold onto those thoughts we cannot feel the peace and live out the purpose Christ has laid out for us.
How did your husband and sons’ involvement in MLB influence the content of “Distraction Detox?”

Billie Jauss Releases An All New Book Today
Billie Jauss: “As we grow spiritually healthy, we can discern God’s best – and watch him work in ways we never imagined.”
Are you a fan of the “start small BELIEVE BIG” podcast or the book “Making Room: Doing Less So God Can Do More”? Then you are going to love today’s big news! The woman behind those inspirational projects just released the new book “DISTRACTION DETOX: Release Emotional Barriers. Restructure Priorities. Realize God’s Best”
According to an official press release from Biscuit Media Group and Iron Stream Media, the latest book from Billie Jauss aims to help women find inner peace and fulfilment in this busy modern world.
This is how the press release describes DISTRACTION DETOX: “Sometimes it isn’t external distractions, but the internal emotional barriers that produce feelings of discouragement and defeat in our lives. Written directly from her own person experiences, Billie shares how detoxing from emotional toxins, realigning priorities, and creating a spiritual health plan can allow women to claim confidence and find fulfillment not in adding one more thing, but to realize God’s best things. DISTRACTION DETOX was written to help women: Determine their internal distractions
Evaluate their emotional barriers
Terminate their toxins to hear, trust, and go
Outline a plan to identify God’s best things
eXecute the plan.”
The author added, “My mission has always been to help women overcome the obstacles in their lives to find peace and purpose,” Billie shares. “My prayer is that women can take a step back, quiet their inner monolog, and make space so God can give them a clear mind and a clear purpose. God so desires us to live confident, peaceful, fulfilled lives. As we grow spiritually healthy, we can discern God’s best – and watch him work in ways we never imagined.”
