✨ “I couldn’t go back to the madness that was my life…”
Ian’s story in Lifting in the Darkness is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we’ve fallen, grace is never out of reach. After years of violence and chaos, Ian chose a different path—a path lit by God’s love, forgiveness, and freedom. 🙏

He prayed.
He repented.
He turned from darkness to light.

➡️ “I’d had a taste of God’s love and forgiveness, and it was all I wanted. I was free.”
Freedom isn’t found in running—it’s found in surrender.

🕊 If you’re struggling, know that transformation is possible. Ian’s story is proof.

📖 Read more in Lifting in the Darkness and be inspired by the hope that can rise from even the darkest places.

Today is International Self-Care Day — and if things feel like a little too much, here’s something to hold onto:

“There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” (Prov. 18:24)
One who will never leave you.
Never forsake you.
One who holds the entire world in His hands — and still has time for you.

Take a deep breath.
Relax your shoulders.
You don’t have to carry it all.

‘“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty.’ (Zech. 4:6)

Loving this review 🥰

Thank you for this review of Izzy’s Unexpected Week.
A lovely start to my weekend!

This was a great read for my 10yo boys. Izzy spends a week with an estranged Aunty - and, through a series of letters left for her by her Gran, comes to know Jesus as her friend. The plot does work out a little too ‘perfectly’ throughout the book - but actually for kids who see things in black and white, this can be a helpful approach for showing them how Jesus can help them with their daily lives and challenges. I appreciated the huge variety of teaching points demonstrated through Izzy’s story - that Jesus can make us brave, give us words to say in difficult situations, help us forgive and give people a second chance. It shows the impact Jesus makes on an individual, a family and a community of friends. There is so much in this book to make kids think about who Jesus is and what role he is playing in their lives. We loved it!
