Light</a></strong></em> is first in a fantasy series called The Stronghold of Enjanan. My heart for this series is to create a space where relationship with Jesus is accessible (hence writing in allegory) but also very real. My characters live in a different world but they go through stuff we go through, and must learn how to step into relationship with their Creator and draw on God&#8217;s strength to face the battle. The entire world spins around the light and is a light vs darkness metaphor for our times.

impossible things, but doesn&#8217;t want to do them in our life &#8211; as if the requests we have are too much or not enough; that the boldest prayers are reserved for specific categories or people. The challenge we face is believing that bold prayers are determined by what we ask for or the answer we anticipate.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4eE846D">Audacious</a></strong></em> offers an invitation to redefine what it means to pray boldly by centering our conversations with God on vulnerability and trust. Through honest stories, practical encouragement, and thoughtful questions, Heidi empowers readers to:</p><p>- Confidently identify where you feel stuck and how you want God to move</p><p>- Surrender your expectations and leave room for surprise</p><p>- Trust God&#8217;s presence in the abundant joy, lonely silence, and winding trail between</p><p>Come along to explore the space between a bold request and unimaginable answer. We are all invited to an audacious prayer life&#8230; and it might not be what you think.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>For those feeling like their prayers are too big or not enough. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>I found myself believing that God could do impossible things, but just didn&#8217;t want to do them in my life. It was a wake-up call for what I believed about prayer and God&#8217;s faithfulness. This put me on a path toward praying boldly and a journey for redefining what that even means. As I worked a few things out and found helpful prayer practices, I felt called to put it into writing and share it with others. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4wxHCSL&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4wxHCSL"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/@heidivanderpan&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/@heidivanderpan"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p>Hi!

of historical fiction set in medieval Wales. Driven by ambition and family expectation, young Henry de Brampton is determined to make his mark. Destined for a prestigious career in the Church, he readily embraces the chance to experience the world before taking his vows. But fuelled by selfish desire, he recklessly betrays those he loves, with devastating consequences.</p><p>Overwhelmed with guilt, he seeks redemption among the Cistercians of Abbey Cwmhir and finds a new identity as Brother Hywel. Yet a further thoughtless betrayal will prove he cannot escape himself, and he is forced on pilgrimage to save his vocation.</p><p>A reluctant pilgrim, can the unlikely company help him discover what it truly means to be great in God&#8217;s eyes, and will Hywel ever be willing not just to receive forgiveness but also to forgive himself?</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Adults, young adults, older teens</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>I wanted to explore the power of forgiveness, most especially forgiving oneself, to bring healing and transformation.

transformed the highs, lows and the every-day stuff of her life.</p><p>Readers will be encouraged and inspired as they follow this account showing how God is ready and willing to be involved in all the areas of our life, how we do not have to be anyone &#8216;special&#8217; to be able to hear His voice, and how even our worst failures cannot stop Him from loving us and making something beautiful out of our lives.</p><p>In these pages Christians and non-Christians alike will discover a God of relationship rather than religion &#8211; and will hopefully get to know Him better for themselves too.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe

of historical fiction, set in medieval Wales, it tells the story of nobleman Philip de Braose. Driven to despair by heart-breaking betrayal, he has lost faith in God and man. Working as a soldier for hire, he recklessly seeks death and is brutally injured, only for rescue to come in the unlikely form of a Cistercian monk. </p><p>This joy-filled, kind and compassionate man walks alongside Philip as his body slowly recovers and he is forced to confront the more painful wounds within. As they travel from France to an Abbey deep in his Welsh homeland, Philip disguises himself as a Cistercian and begins to rediscover the man God always intended him to be. </p><p>But when his past invades the present, his newly awakened faith is challenged by long-buried dreams and he must decide if he can live a life devoted to God outside the Abbey&#8217;s walls.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Adults, young adults, older teens</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>The Healing came directly out of my experience of God&#8217;s gentle and compassionate healing of a heart and body ravaged by a sudden illness. Through one of the darkest periods of my life, God brought people alongside me who spoke truth from scripture, encouraged me to hope again, and showed me Jesus. I wanted to tell my story, and chose to do so through fiction, including all the revelations and promises that God gave me during that season.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4wbq6DF&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4wbq6DF"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/@joymargetts&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/@joymargetts"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Joy Margetts&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:105950373,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/78f07e22-3028-4160-8f0c-f5b76c2af3d3_1080x1440.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;0b17df48-72e4-425f-b2a5-f8c0c26c6915&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> loves writing and loves the Word of God.

Crossing</a></strong></em> is the first novella in a three-part easy-to-read fictional mystery series by Christian devotional author John Dobbs. </p><p>The quintessential small southern town of Stillwell Crossing rattles to life along the tracks through rural Mississippi. Enveloped in nostalgic fragrances of peach cobbler and sweet magnolias, the town square is the hub of business and leisure activity among the friendly longtime residents as well as a few mysterious newcomers. However, something sinister is about to disrupt this peaceful place, where quiet routine prevails. It&#8217;s up to local reporter, Mason McClain, to uncover the minute details surrounding this heinous crime. With the help of his city slicker friend, Jeremy Clanton, McClain gravely discovers there is more going on under the surface than the vibration of a passing train in the Crossing.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Anyone who enjoys mysteries.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>I love to read mysteries and wanted to write something that was clean and profanity free for Christian readers.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4tGhjHX&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4tGhjHX"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://johndobbs.substack.com/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://johndobbs.substack.com/"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;John E.

Bride</a></strong></em> is a historical fiction set among the Cistercian abbeys of medieval Wales. This is the story of Lady Efa, a woman who knows the pain of heartbreak and betrayal. Thrust into a marriage she did not choose, and made mother to three neglected children, she is deserted by the man she loved and forced to leave all she knows behind. </p><p>Yet amid bitterness and despair, unexpected friendships introduce Efa to a different kind of love, to a God who promises to turn her painful betrayal into joy-filled belonging. If only she will open her heart to Him, wounds could be healed, relationships restored and more lives than her own transformed.</p><p>When changing circumstances leave her adrift and without purpose, can Efa trust God for another place of belonging?

href="https://amzn.to/42CJQSM">Bethan&#8217;s Identity</a></strong></em> is a grounded Christian fantasy set in a fractured world where survival often demands compromise&#8212;and names can be lost long before chains are broken.</p><p>When Bethan is taken from her home, she makes a choice to enter a system that offers survival at the cost of herself. Language, loyalty, even her name begin to shift as she learns to navigate a world built on power and control. What begins as strategy slowly becomes transformation.</p><p>But freedom is not the end of her captivity.</p><p>When the chains fall away, Bethan faces a deeper crisis: she no longer knows who she is&#8212;or who Yah-Roi is. The God she once trusted feels distant, unfamiliar, and silent.</p><p>For readers who want Christian fiction that tells the truth about darkness without surrendering redemption, Bethan&#8217;s Identity is a story of identity, consequence, and the long road back to understanding that who she is can only be seen clearly through who Yah-Roi is.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>This book is for anyone who has looked at their own life and wondered, Is this who I am now?&#8212;for those marked by sin, worn by shame, and far enough in the dark that even God feels unfamiliar.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>It started as a dream, but it took years of growth to write it honestly. I had to face my own wounds, my own questions about identity, and let the Lord reshape what I believed about Him. Alongside that, I&#8217;ve walked with others through their own stories of trauma and shame&#8212;and the same lie keeps surfacing: This is who you are now. This book was born out of pushing back against that lie and holding onto the truth that God is bigger than both our sin and our suffering.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/42CJQSM&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/42CJQSM"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.substack.com/pub/whiteharvestmedia?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=android&amp;r=7pobmj&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/whiteharvestmedia?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=android&amp;r=7pobmj"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p>Jessica Hopson writes stories for readers who want more than surface-level faith. Her work confronts sin, identity, and redemption without softening the cost. She is the writer behind White Harvest Media on Substack, where she challenges cultural narratives and calls readers back to truth, stewardship, and surrender to Christ. Shaped by her own journey and the lives of those she has walked alongside, her stories carry weight because they are lived, not imagined. She writes from her homestead, where she raises her children and builds a life that reflects the same convictions found in her work.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#129293; Closing</h2><p>At the Christian Substack Bookstore, we highlight Christ-centered books that nourish faith and strengthen the soul.</p><p>If you are an author with a faith-centered book, we&#8217;d love to hear from you. &#128218;</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/bethans-identity-songs-of-redemption?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/bethans-identity-songs-of-redemption?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>Affiliate Disclosure</h2><p>Some links in this article may be affiliate links.

It was about a turtle. His name was not Tadeo at that point. I was a new writer and belonged to The Word Guild (a Canadian Christian writers group). I received help in doing my own watercolour illustrations from my art teacher. She encouraged me. I first published 5 copies using Shutterfly. I took those copies to Write!Canada to show to editors and friends. I said to myself and God, if I sell at least 3 of them, I will publish this book. I did sell three (very expensive, too, at $25.00 each). I first published with a vanity publisher, but have since redone the book and published through Amazon.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/3P9fTqt&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/3P9fTqt"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://authorjaniscox.substack.com/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://authorjaniscox.substack.com/"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Janis Cox&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:36127641,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/289742eb-9dd3-4a08-ac65-b93fb977f6cb_600x602.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;743c0146-ad00-4073-a029-b30372588e74&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> is a writer, artist, and grandmother who loves sharing God&#8217;s Word through stories and watercolour.

Worthy</a></strong></em> is a personal memoir describing the hopefulness I lived with before Salvation, and the complete transformation after receiving Christ as Savior. It takes you, the reader, through an interesting memory lane where you get a picture of how difficult life is for an introvert who does not know Christ, especially because they aren&#8217;t vocal, so there&#8217;s a lot of warfare they deal with on their own. And most of the time, it&#8217;s only through a unique encounter that God will intervene, such as in the author&#8217;s situation. In the book, she outlines every experience leading to her Salvation as well as the fruits it bore after it. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>For Believers who are discouraged and need to find their way back to the Shepherd. For the unbelievers, too. This book will let them know that Jesus exists and He is not silent. He can and will meet them at their point of need, and they don&#8217;t have to do life on their own. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>I knew that I had to pen my testimony, but I just didn&#8217;t know where to start. Everything changed when I had a dream about someone handing me a set of keys, and as I enquired with the Lord, He confirmed that I should start writing, and the rest is history!</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4mRzmZ5&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4mRzmZ5"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/@lerato805363?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=android&amp;r=5otcbv&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/@lerato805363?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=android&amp;r=5otcbv"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p>My name is Lerato, author of <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Faith Chronicles by Lerato&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:344010667,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b998ded0-d968-48e4-bce6-896f688fea1c_1408x768.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;762bd2ba-952a-4dd3-9d7d-a642d9a0a01c&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span>, but you can call me Lee.
