Another Day in Benton Series 

Book One; Chelsey's Gift




Chelsey Martin is not your average fifteen-year-old Canadian girl. Being born with a mental disability leavers her at the mercy of bullies at school and the worst one, Logan Stewart, lives next door. Not even her over-protective twin can keep Chelsey safe all the time so with the encouragement of her father, Chelsey decides to take matters into her own hands. Accompanied by a fear of climbing hills, a prayer in her back pocket, and stubborn determination, Chelsey sets out to do what's right.


This book is written for teens but is enjoyable for adults as well. 

There are a couple different ways you can get a copy of Chelsey's Gift. First of all, ask your local Christian book store (St Thomas and Tillsonburg will have them), google the title and you'll receive a bunch of different places to buy it, or you can purchase it through me. I don't know what the cost is from all the other places but from me its $18 a book with added costs for shipping if need be. Cash and cheques are accepted (make cheques payable to R.D. Korvemaker) 

If you are interested in using this book as a fundraising project for your school or charity please send an email for more information.


Note; due to some confusion with the editor there are a few spelling mistakes in this work. I do apologize and hope it doesn't distract from the story. Book two will be better.

Book Two; Logan's Challenge 




Everything was going just fine for Logan Stewart until the fateful day when his handicapped neighbour, Chelsey Martin, walked across her lawn and decided to be his friend. She didn't make his life any easier, asking him tough questions about friendship and God. But then Chelsey and her twin, Kailey, have some problems of their own between school project that involve tattoo parlors, a boisterous uncle with far too little social grace, and time spent wondering if their friend, Amanda, is taking this healthy eating thing a little too far.
            Things escalate when Logan's grandfather moves in. Will learning Grandfather's secrets help Logan to understand his own? Can he forgive the father he hates? And more importantly, will he seek the forgiveness of the One he has hurt most?

    Wow! I started your book when I had some time to read while waiting for an oil change but when I got home I did not put it down. What a lovely read! I love your characters, and I love your descriptions of their family life. There were lots of good life lessons but they were woven in nicely and gently. I would highly recommend this book for all young and not so young people. Congratulations Rebecca!

Maybe It's Supposed to Be Hard

We want a whole, happy, calm life. We want to be healthy. In "crunchie" circles, people use essential oils, grow their own produce, and stop using plastics. In Christian circles, there is an idea, an ideology, gaining ground that presupposes a holistic, restful life is possible if one follows the spiritual disciplines of the desert fathers and mothers. Mysticism. Prayer, scripture, silence, solitude, sabbath, fasting, rest, etc. (If you're looking for a couple interesting reads on this topic you could see these books by Jefferson Bethke and John Mark Comer. ) I want a holistic, happy, balanced life. My kitchen contains wooden cutting boards and loose leaf tea. I begin all my mornings with homemade kombucha, prayer, quiet, and scripture. I do Pilates throughout the week and hold the Lord's Day as holy every Sunday.  And I'm tired. And I'm weary.  And I wonder if that's just how it is in this sin-soaked world as we run to Heaven.  After all, the Spirit tell

4 Ways to Help Single People

It is very likely that not all single people will completely agree with the list I'm about to share with you, because no two people are alike, but I've heard similar things from single people that I follow online and think it will be helpful to share these. If nothing else, let this post lead you to have conversations with the single people in your life and find out what would  be helpful to them.  1. Hug Them I'll admit, I'm not much of a hugger, but a few months ago another woman I follow recommended to her audience that they begin hugging their single friends and I've been thinking about it since. Now (due to a change in my life) I'm seeing certain friends more often than I had been, and I am also receiving more hugs; this is good for me . In particular, it is good for me that one of my guy friends often gives me a hug when I see him. I don't mean that in a sensual sense, I mean it in a brotherly sense. The quick hug he offers tells me that I am seen, I

Being Single is Kind of Like Not Sleeping Through the Night

For as long as you can remember, you have been told that normal people sleep through the night. You've been trained to sleep through the night. The vast majority of your friends sleep through the night. Your entire family sleeps through the night. Everyone at church sleeps through the night. But you don't.  At first, a number of years ago, you were really frustrated about not sleeping through the night, and the frustration was compounded by people consistently asking questions as to your ability to sleep. Have you tried medication? Have you turned all your screens off before bed? Do you exercise? Do you drink caffeine in the afternoon? The fact of the matter is, you do all the things you're supposed to do, but you still wake up in the middle of the night, for apparently no reason.  You're confused and frustrated, so you pray. The next night, when it happens again, you pray. Soon, waking up in the night has changed from a time of frustration to a time of worship and gett
