A book signing party in July at Common Grounds will launch a children's book titled "Look For Something Good," written by Bluffton resident Steve Yoder.
Yoder says the book is a story with a lesson, adding, "It's a parable, which deals with a tough set of circumstances involving a young boy." Yoder, who is lead pastor of First Mennonite Church, Bluffton, says that the book is written for youth, particularly at the fourth grade level.

Let's start off with the basics: growing up, what schools did you attend and graduate from?
Growing up I was a little all over the place, kindergarten at Columbus Grove, first to10th grade in Bluffton, and 11th and 12th in Pandora-Gilboa. I graduated in 2006 from Pandora-Gilboa.
