Denver, CO (PRWeb) January 8, 2007 -- Shelley Wood Gauld's 8.5 x 11 inch nonfiction books -- "Much Bigger than Grownups" and "Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith" -- abound with original artworks.

Although written for different purposes and audiences, these two titles are inextricably linked. The 264 page revised edition of Shelley Wood Gauld's "Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith: Explore World Ideologies, Church History, and Christianity's Jewish Origins" (ISBN: 978-1-4303-0865-2 © 2006) provides overviews of 14 major world ideologies, the convoluted history of the Church, and the inherent "Jewishness" of the New Testament. The author emphasizes what she considers to be crucial elemental information that is not common knowledge. The first edition of this title, published in 2003, was nominated for the 2004 Koret Foundation Jewish Book Awards.

"One of the most comprehensive works on the subject of Jewish roots is titled 'Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith,' by Shelley Gauld. Her book is very readable and is a treasure-chest filled with practical knowledge and insight. This is not dry academicism. It is a piece of artwork that touches head and heart." Rev. Frank Lenihan, Montana USA

"Much Bigger than Grownups: Chronicles of a Native South African" (ISBN: 978-1-4116-8217-7 © 2006), the author's 240 page memoir, is intended for a broader readership. It spans over five decades; from 1953, the year of her birth, to 2006. Shelley Wood Gauld's visual style of writing transports readers from an Apartheid era Zulu trading-post in KwaZulu-Natal, to a small RV park in Colorado, USA. The book's final chapter describes the unusual circumstances that lead to the creation of "Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith."

"Shelley Wood Gauld combines her personal history with that of a turbulent country, facts about the environment she so loves, and profound insights into different spiritual paths she and others around her have trod. The book bears witness to someone who has striven to put more meaning into her life and more 'color on her wings'; and, thereby, more color into ours. Maps, artworks and vibrant authentic prose guide us through this memorable record of a life in progress." Prof. Dr. Lindy Stiebel. (Durban KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa)

As an educator and artist, this author's aim has been to inform and entertain; but also to seize a myriad of time's treasures -- unique people, places, and events -- before they fragment and fade into the silent abyss of the unrecorded past. Woven into this memoir are exotic places and cultures, South Africa's intriguing history, engaging quotes by pivotal personalities, 45 original art works, and a rich glossary. "Much Bigger than Grownups" is much more than a nostalgic amble down Memoir Lane.

"This account shines with creativity and insight. Readers are taken on an international adventure into the rich cultures, religious diversity, lush geography, and political turmoil of South Africa during the latter half of the twentieth century; and then on to the USA. It is a fascinating sojourn that enlightens and educates as it entertains. Exotic places and endearing people come vividly to life through the eyes and heart of this Renaissance woman." Dr. Melanie Rosa. (Lakewood Colorado, USA)
