About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

The dream is plain to see, a candlestick made of gold. But to discover its meaning, a little girl must embark on a remarkable journey. On her quest of self-discovery, she meets two ducks, a mule, a pig, a tiger, a monkey, a possum, and a great speckled bird—all of which challenge her to awaken to oft-hidden truths.

“Hello, little girl! It is true what you say. The dark is a mystery and many get lost in its way. I have come to give you a test. And the candlestick is at the end of your quest. But fear not. For it doesn’t matter if you lose or win. You never have to be scared of the dark again.”

The Candlestick was inspired by the first three chapters of Revelations in the Holy Bible. The seven types of animals represent the seven churches to which Saint Paul wrote epistles, seven types of Christians, and seven dispensations of time. Written in rhyme, both parents and children will enjoy these thoughtful verses as they discover new depths of meaning in the mysteries of Revelations.

Deftly constructed at 40 pages, The Candlestick is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Children's Literature - Storytelling category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Candlestick meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $17.95.

Additionally, The Candlestick can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
