Trilogy Represents Values Sadly Lacking in Today's Society

Author injects love and truth in inspirational series.

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- A self-described "recovering Pharisee," author Walter A. Newport III has devised a series of books to represent Christian values in a culture sorely missing them. The first in the series, Lifelines: A Favorite Collection of Words and Inspiration (paperback, 978-1-60266-671-9), is a compilation of short inspirational pieces that have helped Newport navigate through life.

The perfect companion piece to a cup of herbal tea, the book offers "truths readers can apply to their lives immediately, perhaps encouraging them to be more compassionate Christians for everybody."

Smile Lines: A Favorite Collection of Good, Clean Fun (paperback, 978-1-60266-672-6) is inspirational, but with a focus on humor.

"I hope readers will gain insights into life's problems but also laugh, or at least smile, without suffering crude and demeaning jokes," explains Newport. The third book, Poems: of Petition, Praise, Perception, People, and Playfulness (paperback, 978-1-60266-673-3), is a compilation that poetically defends Christianity in an age of relativism, naturalism, secular humanism, post-modernism, and terrorism. "Many who have begun to doubt or to encounter criticism of Christianity in today's world may find that poetry can speak to their hearts when pure logic does not," says Newport.

Though all three books are varied in topic and purpose, they share one common thread: "Taken as a whole," explains the author, "one gets the sense that God's love, sovereignty, majesty, truth and grace are visible in His creation, and that humankind needs to dedicate ourselves to obeying, glorifying, and serving Him as long as we live."

Newport's professional mission in life is to help people of differing languages and cultures to become friends through understanding, mutual respect, and an infusion of God's truth and love.

Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 3,900 titles published to date. Retailers may order Lifelines, Smile Lines, and Poems through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
