Erin Healy’s latest novel, “Motherless”, was released a few weeks ago. Being a keen supporter of Erin and her work I was delighted she was willing to respond to a few questions I posed her. There is also the opportunity for two readers to win a copy of Motherless. More on that at the end […]
“This is truth: we all tell the stories that we want to believe. We tell them for so long that we forget what we really know. Occasionally we convince others to believe them too.” Motherless is the story of brother and sister, Marina and Dylan, who are coming to terms with the anticipated death of […]
We’re all familiar with the spiritual armour passage in Ephesians 6 where Paul’s exhorts us to put on the armour and stand against the enemy’s schemes. As you might expect, as an author of speculative fiction, it is a passage I reflect on often, as I create my stories. Putting the armour on is a […]
There is little mention of the Queen of Sheba in the Bible other than that she paid King Solomon a visit having heard of his great wisdom and he worshipped an unseen God. (1 Kings 10:1-13) This novel greatly expands on the little we know and introduces us to an enchanting, complex Queen who is […]
It was very special to be able to ‘participate’ in a conversation between a son and a father as they chatted about the key matters that impact a man’s heart.

This was a delightful read of a very humble man who is able to look back at his 80+ years and see how God has His hand on so many small and large happenings during those years. I haven’t read any of Jerry’s books and felt led to read this for some reason and am […]
My pastor said recently: “the Kingdom of God only prospers through an atmosphere of warfare and violence.” It reminded me of this book that I’ve just finished for the second time in quick succession. This is an excellent practical and Scripture-based guide on how to ‘take up our cross everyday.’ Malarkey starts out exploring why […]
Sowers explores his sense of manhood through sharing his journey from growing up fatherless whilst examining Jesus’ own journey from being the son of Mary to his coming out as the Son of God. Throughout this marvellous book, I thought Sowers was in my head. Many of the scenes, feelings and thoughts he described I […]
Spirit Bridge is the third and final episode in the Well Spring series. And wow, it sure finishes in a mighty way, so much so I’m very sad that it has now ended. I’d suggest all readers read the first two in the series: Soul’s Gate and Memory’s Door, not just because they are fabulous […]
This short book took a different approach to a lot of prayer books I’ve read. It focuses on the “whatever you ask” passages in the Bible that Jesus promises to answer.
