Just published! Light in the Darkness is a collection of 100 blog entries that  follows the events of the first national Covid enforced lockdown in the Spring of 2020.

Starting as a pastime narrative of weekly musings, the author is called into a deeper reflection on his own faith and considers how the wider Christian community can respond to the growing fear and uncertainty brought about by the Global pandemic. Subsequently, this initial three month lockdown experience is seen through the eyes of a middle aged, middle class suburban family man who offers his own insights into events, sometimes with a touch of creative licence! Over the course of the writing the themes of hope and light emerge culminating in an ending that was as unexpected as it was welcoming to the writer and his family. God does work in very mysterious ways!

Just published! Spiritual Reflections takes the reader on a tour through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, providing an insight into many well-known verses, as well as some that might be a little more obscure.

The primary intention of this devotional-style text is to introduce people to Jesus, in a way that dispels many of the myths about Him that are perpetuated by the secular media, and sadly reinforced by numerous church-based organisations. We know from Scripture that God is the very definition of love, and these reflections demonstrate the extent to which He was willing to give the best that He has, in the form of His Son, to release us from judgement, into eternal glory, provided that we are willing to accept His free gift of salvation.

While historical context and exposition abound, this book goes beyond exegetical analysis to bring the Scriptures to life, in a way that enables the reader to apply Biblical principles to their twenty-first century lives. There is something here for everyone: the seasoned believer will find new insights into God’s Word and encouragement to face the challenges that are integral to our time here on earth, while new Christians will be nourished by the rich experience of encountering Jesus in the pages of the Old Testament, as well as the New. However, ‘Spiritual Reflections’ has primarily been written for people who have not yet accepted Jesus as their Saviour, or who may be struggling to find relevance in their faith. All of the major topics, such as physical pain, grief and injustice, that can frequently be seen as stumbling-blocks to faith, are addressed, using Scripture to demonstrate the reassuring truth that God is in control.

About Author

“I spent my formative years in the south of England: first in Sussex, and then Cornwall, before moving to Wales, which is still the place that I regard to be home.  I  relocated to the Isle of Lewis in 2004 and, although my professional qualification is in statistics, I have always had a love of writing.  My only published work to date is a small collection of poems, ‘Just A Plain Old Joe’, but work-related projects that led to me drafting various bulletins and training guides gave me the confidence to believe that writing prose may be within my capability.” – Benjamin Neesham

This book can never be a substitute for daily Bible reading, but for anyone who doesn’t yet know the Lord, it’s the perfect introduction!

Just published by Grace Sullivan, Perspectives of the Greatest Story Ever Told, that inspires believers and non-believers about the truth about Jesus.

There can be no denying the beauty and diversity that lies within planet earth. There is a depth of nature, science and even ingenuity deep within the mind of man to uncover and explore.

“I believe that all of this stems from a creator God, without which none of the physical world that we see would be possible. If God is the first and greatest creator, then it must be possible to communicate him in a multifaceted way. I took the challenge of preaching the seminal truth about Jesus, the gospel, using different perspectives available through nature and the Bible over a period of 30 days. In doing so I have tried to inspire both believer and non-believer, and to point to the fullness and richness that a relationship with Jesus brings.”

About Author

“I have an undergraduate degree and masters in law. However, the thing that qualifies me most to write creatively is the hunger God has placed inside of my heart to know Jesus more. Any spark of creativity or eloquence inside of me is merely the product of a glimpse of him within the pages of the greatest book ever written, the Bible. As he favours me with revelation of who he is, I find myself falling deeply in love with Jesus and desiring to muster up every ounce of creativity inside of me to tell his story to this world. My passion is to reach a world which desperately needs to know him with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” – Grace Sullivan

Just published by Rosi Morgan-Barry, Tales of the Unremembered are stories taken from the Bible are about Jesus and His close relatives and friends.

These are the stories of some of the many unknown people who were there during those momentous years when Jesus was born grew up, taught, healed, suffered, died and rose again. They were people who knew his family, who were in the crowds and who listened, watched, went home and told others. Some continued to doubt, or could not accept or even try to understand the message of this man Jesus. But many became believers and went on to tell their stories.

About Author

Writing has always been part of my life, between the demands and joys of work and bringing up as family. As a speech and language therapist I have a number of professional publications, as well as poetry and plays. I am also a Methodist lay preacher, so perhaps fifty years of writing sermons could be added to the list. – Rosi Morgan-Barry

Let their stories speak to us, for in them, we may find our own.

Mary Marriott has just published her latest book, Do Not Stop the Little Children about Christians living in a dangerous and harsh world.

Mary believes we need to take a deep and honest look at ourselves and see if we are preventing our children from being blessed by Jesus. Do we stop them by our worldly ways? Are we blind to the real preciousness of who they are in God’s eyes? We need to become more aware of Satan’s strategies, his lies and his plans to rob our little ones of all that Jesus wants for them. We need to look up and be aware of what is happening around us and not be complacent.

About Author

The Holy Spirit qualifies me to write these narratives I have been a Christian for many years and always enjoyed the written word. Since the loss of my husband, I have, like so many others, have more time on my hands, which has led me to writing what I believe are God Truths which He has laid on my heart. I live alone, in Kent, and have five grown up children. I lived in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) until I came to England as a young woman, intending to go home, but met my husband to be, so that ruled out those plans! (Man’s heart may plan his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9.)! – Mary Marriott

Hopefully and prayerfully, this book will be a wake up call, so as we will not stop them coming to Him, but open the way that they may be free to run into His arms where they belong.
