MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Deborah Allen’s new book, Oli’s Uncommon Cents ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-61996-610-9; $7.49, e-book, 978-1-61996-611-6) readers will learn lessons of economics, social justice, character issues and the value of self-worth. The author’s mission, ultimately, is to warn readers of the vices of greed. Young readers will be challenged to examine the role of money and how it can create tension or hope in a person’s life.
“I hope those that read Oli’s Uncommon Cents will learn that a person’s character is defined by what they value. Although this book is written as a fantasy novel, there is a lesson of self-worth and personal value that weaves its way throughout the story,” states the author. “[Readers] will discover that a person’s character is often directly related to the choices they make with their money.”
Deborah Allen writes Sunday school curriculum, and children’s devotions, although not excluding herself from children’s secular writing. As an author for LAF Ministry, Deborah Allen’s experience ranges from writing, to design, to finance to children’s ministry, the latter being her passion. Working with children and their families, she has become concerned with the grave and desperate concerns young people have for their futures. In Oli’s Uncommon Cents, she combines here talents and interests and tackles the problem of greed, and its effects on families.
