El Roi: God Who Sees Me by Jo Wanmer
Publisher: Armour Books (Released: 5 September 2025)
Desperate for the light …
Dan dreams of qualifying as an engineer. But his family is broken, with a violent father who opposes education. Good marks at school, university entrance funds, and impressing the beautiful girl on the train all seem equally out of reach for Dan. Other kids have good fathers who love them. Why can’t he?
There are ways to make money so he can get what he needs. He’s determined, quick and smart – but is this enough to keep him out of trouble?
This story is a battle between determination and despair, dark and light, life and death. Will Dan find his way through to his future? Is there such a thing as a good father?
A Heart to Treasure by Dienece Darling
Publisher: Independently Published (Released: 10 October 2025)
The vicar’s son and the draper’s daughter have fought against all odds to be together, but a storm is coming. One that will shatter everything.
Life hasn’t been easy for Obadiah Howard, especially after that misstep at Oxford which nearly obliterated his chances of joining the church. Added to that, he fell in love with the draper’s daughter. But a miracle revived his dreams of having a curacy and his strict father allowed his betrothal to Miss Hill. Only, what if there was no miracle? What if all of Obadiah’s bright future is built on a lie?
Eliza Hill never expected a gentleman to pay her court, let alone ask for her hand in marriage. With their wedding day less than a fortnight away, life is an impossible dream come true. Although, it would be nice if Obadiah called her Eliza instead of the more genteel Elisabeth, and she finds the rigors of acting like a perfect lady stifling. But, surely, being married to the man she loves will be worth wearing a mask for the rest of her life.
When the fierce storms of life break over their world, the cracks in their relationship don’t just show. They shatter. Can two hearts torn apart by pride find their way back to each other?
In this Broader Regency, reverse rags-to-riches, interclass romance novella, you’ll find faith, a clean and wholesome romance, and a happy ending. While this book doesn’t feature Jane Austen, it is set the year she turned 19. Ever wonder what England was like when Austen was a teen? Read a Heart to Treasure to find out!
Through The Chemo: A Memoir by Jennifer Phillips
Publisher: Wing To Wing (Released 17 September 2025)
“Prepare for death,” my doctor said.
It wasn’t my first time in the “shadow of death.” In this memoir, I share some of the things I’ve faced including cancer, chemotherapy and it’s aftermath. I’ve included photos and artworks in the hope my readers who haven’t walked this path, will better understand some of the journey. My story isn’t just about the difficult path, which it was, it’s also about wonders that made the difficult path not only bearable, but fruitful and miraculous. I walked through it, but not alone which is a wonder I’m so thankful for.
More Than Questions by Stephen Sureshkanna
Publisher: Independently published (Released: 9 September 2025)
At seventeen, I found myself encountering many of the same doubts and fears about Christianity that so many encounter. So many of my friends and peers wrestled with the great questions of Christianity. If God is so good, why is there evil in the world? Can we be sure that we will go to heaven? What about other religions?
In More than Questions, I engage with and answer twelve of these pressing questions about Christianity, proposed to me by real people wrestling with these real issues. This book is written for people who are wrestling with Christianity, for the people with burning questions about Jesus Christ and His teachings.
Dear Anxious Heart by Jennie Del Mastro
Publisher: Hazelton Independent (Released: 10 September 2025)
I went to church in person this morning. Hung onto Dom’s arm the whole time.
People came and talked to me and I thought of pushing them away and running. Didn’t. Burning waves went up and down my chest. And now back home nowhere seems safe.
How can I live with such fear? I don’t want to escape but what if it gets worse and one day I do? What if I let the misery beat me? It might happen. God You don’t give me a guarantee that it won’t.
Carly Lombardi’s nice, normal life is suddenly terrifying her. Desperate to understand her feelings and thoughts, she writes in her journal, hoping to find a way to fix herself.
But what if the task is beyond her?
Where do you go when the safe places don’t feel safe?
