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.

  2. 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!

What Is Your Purpose?

 A couple weeks ago, a young woman asked me, "what is your purpose?" it kind of threw me off. Ok, it really threw me off. It seemed a bit touchĂ© to say "to glorify God and enjoy Him forever" when she was looking for specifics. And I get why she's asking. My life does seem pretty random. Thirty-two years old, working on my BA, teaching music part time, working at a coffee shop part time, and living at least an hour from my closest family member. On paper it looks...well...it looks random. I get it. Kind of hard to pull a purpose out of the randomness.  I was talking to the Lord about it because sometimes, even for myself, the person living this life, it's hard to find a specific purpose in the randomness. Sometimes I wonder,  when I get to Heaven if I'm  going to have anything to offer God, if while other people show up with their kids, I'm going to hold out empty hands and say "it's just me." I mean, if He wants soldiers to defeat spiri...

Two Worlds, One Family

After reading that title, are you singing the Phil Collins song from Tarzan? I was. In my head. During prayer meeting. The theme for prayer that evening was the 3rd commandment; you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain . We bowed our heads and began praying around the circle. My dear friend sat beside me and prayed for her children and the children of our church. She prayed that they would never a know a day not loving the name of the Lord, that they would cling to Him and honour Him all the days of their lives. I went next. I prayed for my coworkers, so many of them living far, far from God, so many enslaved to sin. I prayed that they would know Jesus, honestly ask Him to forgive them, and then live the rest of their lives loving His name and bringing that Name glory. The same desire spurred our prayers, but the places we dwell in had a huge effect on how we prayed. And that's when that song from my childhood came to mind. The truth is that we are one family, my f...

Wasted Gifts? Wasted Time?

You know how you can read the Bible twice, ten times, a hundred times and yet there's still something you haven't noticed or thought about before? That's basically my relationship with 1 Samuel 16:12-23. This is where Samuel anoints David to be king (first he had to meet all David's other brothers because David was the youngest so he was out taking care of the sheep). After the family dinner with Samuel, the text shifts back to King Saul. Because King Saul had disobeyed God, God had removed His Spirit from Saul and sent an evil spirit to terrorize him. In order to sooth the king's suffering soul, Saul's servants go out looking for someone who can play music to make him feel better.  There's a lot to think about in these short verses but the verse that struck me is verse 18.  Then one of the young men said, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, a might man of valor, a warrior, one prudent in speech, and a handso...
