“Publishing my first book was a good experience initially, but I became disillusioned with the self-publisher I used. Consequently, I did a lot of research prior to selecting Outskirts Press to publish my second book, and I am so glad that I did. I have been very favorably impressed by the professionalism of my publishing team. One of the things I most appreciated was being able to conduct the entire process via email, something that works extremely well for me. I am delighted with the finished product. I am also very impressed with all of the emails I receive with marketing suggestions which are extremely helpful. I will be starting my third book this summer and look forward to working with Outskirts Press again when it is finished.”

Product description…
Oil of Joy for Mourning is an inspirational collection of stories by men and women of faith who, in times of crisis, with nowhere else to turn, were forced to turn to God and trust totally in Him. And He did not let them down. In turning to God, these ordinary men and women discovered a new depth of faith they had never known before. They received courage and strength that only God could give, and they felt God’s healing touch in their lives, turning their mourning into joy. Read their stories, and perhaps their words will lift you up. Perhaps you, too, will experience some of the joy God wants to share with you.Outskirts Press Review
