Be Held By Him: Finding God When Life Knocks You Off Your Feet by Karen Brough
Independently Published (3 September 2021)
Has life knocked you off your feet? ‘Be Held By Him’ today.
A book that invests hope, where it feels there is none.
Are you stressed, sick, worn out, or weary? Do you feel alone in all that you are walking through?
If this is you, then you’re in good company.
This is the book Karen needed ten years ago when she was struck with a debilitating mystery illness.
In these pages, she shares the encouragements, miracles and revelations God poured out to her, believing that they will speak to you and reassure you in your own hard time.
Come. Come and be encouraged by God and all that He has done. Be uplifted, knowing that what He does for one, He can do for you and more.
In this book you will be:
• Tended to and encouraged by Him.
• Affirmed as you hear and see things that reflect someone who ‘gets’ it.
• Given practical helps and have seeds of hope planted and developed through story and connection with God.
• Able to rise above anything that comes ‘at’ you, by learning how to draw near to Him.
• Inspired by creative and fresh ways to connect with and partner with God.
Be Held By Him Companion Journal: Finding God When Life Knocks You Off Your Feet: 1 Paperback by Karen Brough
Independently Published (3 September 2021)
Do you long to walk with God and hear his voice but don’t know how? Are you struggling to know the next step when life has knocked you off your feet?
I had these same questions as I walked my journey through mystery illness. I’ve learnt that God is constantly speaking life to our situations. Our only job is to draw near and keep watch for all Jesus is communicating. Let Him come alongside you and show you the way forward, whatever you are walking through. As you engage with this journal, you will be:
Tended to and encouraged by Him. Affirmed and validated in your own unique design and personality.
Given practical helps and have seeds of hope planted and developed through connection with God.
Able to rise above anything that comes ‘at’ you, by learning how to draw near to Him.
Inspired by creative and fresh ways to connect with and partner with God.
Connected with your ‘Be Held by Him’ village group – a safe community to share wins, testimonies and creative expressions with others who understand hard places but want to walk it in hope.
No mere journal, this book aims to give practical helps, guidance and wisdom in ‘how’ to walk with God, especially when hardship knocks you off your feet.
Miscreation by June Yu
Indie-published (Date released: Friday 19 November)
The year is 2062 and it’s now the Genome Age, where humans, plants and animals have been genetically modified to create a new world. All genetic advances are tightly controlled by a powerful government department, Genetico.
Enter the brilliant fifteen-year-old Natalia with genetic predispositions for both science and music. Suddenly, her future career and romance are at stake when she discovers her beloved late father is actually a Miscreation (the result of a botched genetic experiment)… and he’s not dead. Natalia’s cold and manipulative mother has secretly kept him in cryogenic freeze while trying to develop an illegal gene therapy to save him. Now she’s asking Natalia to break the law to bring him back.
Meanwhile, a group of rebel Miscreations called the Progeny start pressuring Natalia to steal this gene therapy for their own purposes.
Natalia is torn between participating in an illegal gene procedure, helping the Progeny and bringing back the father she loves. And just what do you do with the Miscreations… when they have powers you don’t understand.
Miscreation? is a young adult science fiction novel. It explores a genetically engineered world where technology creates as many problems as it solves and cannot deal with the pain and prejudice in the human heart. For lovers of future worlds and people interested in the relationship between science and people.
Dancing to her Own Tune by Sheila Hunter and Sara Powter
Annie White, freed after serving her seven years as a convict in Sydney, gets a visitor who will change her life. She starts a baking business, and just as it’s making a profit, she’s then asked to assist another freed convict, named Sam Corbett. Annie nurses him back to health, and they settle into a life together, barely making ends meet; she realises she’s pregnant.
Sam has his own past laid bare, and he must adjust to the revelations. They both must face their accusers, and they find that the answers to their questions are not what they thought.
Their life experiences seem to cling tightly to them both, unable to shake it; finally, they end up back in England, facing their ghosts and discover they are not whom they think they are.
How can they turn their anger and spite into love and forgiveness?
The Dance of Life goes on.
