God Moments: little lessons for life’s journey By Jo-Anne Berthelsen
Publisher: Authentic Media UK (Release date – 13 June 2025)
Does your life seem too ordinary to include moments where God breaks in?
The good news is that even the most everyday life experiences can reveal God’s riches, if only we
would stop and notice. Based on her personal experiences, Jo-Anne Berthelsen reflects on how
apparently mundane scenes in daily life have created unexpected ‘God moments’.
Grounded in Scripture, these 101 uplifting devotions will encourage you to open your heart to God
and look out for him as you go about your daily life.
Good Luck and Other Lies by Catriona McKeown
Publisher: Rhiza Edge (Released: 4 June 2025)
In an extraordinary stroke of luck, six high school students – Luke, Alex, Harriet, Meg, Kye, and outcast Cassie – find themselves thrust into unimaginable wealth after winning a staggering 50 million-dollar Megaball prize. Overnight, their ordinary lives transform into a world where anything is attainable, and shopping becomes difficult – not because you can’t afford anything, but because you can afford everything.
Then amidst the glitz and glamour, tragedy strikes ‘the millionaire’s club’, raising unsettling questions: was it an accident, or a deliberate act, fuelled by hidden secrets? As the group begin to discover the truth behind their extraordinary good fortune, they unwittingly unravel a complex web of lies concealing not only their improbable win but also other so-called luck happening around them.
In this heart-pounding tale of wealth, deceit, and moral reckoning, the millionaires club find themselves entangled in a treacherous game where the price of fortune is higher than they ever imagined. As they attempt to shield their newfound riches and each other from the relentless pursuit of the truth, they begin to realise that luck can be far from good, and lies, once buried, have a way of clawing their way back to the surface.
