The Promise of Friendship

Friendship Is Forever. Isn’T It...

By: Jo Evans Lynn

They were children who had seen too much Youll be dead before youre five, those were the first words Joyce Ann could remember her grandmother saying to her and the fact that she was almost nine did not make living any easier Joyce Ann, Josephine, Kenny, and Janie-all the children had seen too much, been through too much, dealt with too many grown-up things to be considered children in more than age. Josephine spent her days fighting to protect herself and her siblings from bigger kids who saw the undersized children of a woman barely more than four feet tall as fair game Janies days were spent cooking and caring for nine younger siblings and sleepless nights were spent wondering when rather than if one of her mothers numerous male visitors would decide to do the unimaginable Kennys secrets were kept from even his closest friends. How could a child explain life with a mother who managed every detail of every day of his life from what he would wear to lessons that were not always about music It was only the promise of friendship that brought these four young people together in a story about the power of love and acceptance among friends.

Holding On

A Parable of Faith and Strength

By: Jo Evans Lynn

Set in rural South Carolina and urban North Carolina, in the novel Holding On: A Parable of Faith and Strength, we watch Sister Fullmore emerge through a very untypical childhood to become a very untypical woman. The book begins on her first day of school, where we see hints of the smart, sassy young woman she becomes. From a father who drinks his family into a life of poverty, to brothers who leave her to fend for herself, Sister's expectations for the male population are pretty low. Somehow, it seems the men in her life live "down" to those expectations. Her Grandma Hester tells her, "Pick your man, don't let a man pick you. That way you know what you're getting." Her mother's advises, "Don't fall in love with a man just because of his looks unless he has enough money to buy you a house." In all her sixteen years of living, Sister hasn't met one man who tempted her to forget that advice. Then she meets a fine piece of chocolate manhood named Joe Ervin Evans... A liquor house wasn't a place where a man figured on meeting the woman of his dreams, and finding a wife was the last thing on Joe's mind that night. Until he meets Sister, his smile has never failed to make a woman's heart melt. Undaunted by her seeming lack of interest in him, he sets out to convince this pretty little woman that she is going to be his.

Walk of Faith

Poems of Inspiration

By: Jo Evans Lynn

Walk of Faith is about living, growing, and walking in the light. Every poem invites the reader to laugh, cry, sing, and pray with the poet while taking a spiritual journey. Each poem speaks, rather than preaching, to the readers about the universal experiences of all who walk daily in their faith. Even the poem titled "Gentle Sermon" is spiritually and realistically insightful, rather than preachy. Walk of Faith is a collection of inspirational poems covering more than twenty years that Jo Evans Lynn has served as the unofficial poet laureate of her church. The poems inspire and celebrate all occasions and people from every social realm, joyfully flowing from childhood to adulthood, as a girl becomes a woman of faith in a Pentecostal church. The overwhelming message of the collection of poems is that "a spiritual walk with God is a journey of hope, faith, and joy." In every poem, whether serious or humorous, Jo Evans Lynn affirms that the goodness of God is an ever-present force in our lives and that there is nothing too hard for God.
