Congratulations, 🎉🎉on the launch of your beautiful new book!!

I love every word of this book, starting with the title . . .(Ir)responsible: Living true to the call but free from the burden.

It speaks to the questions so many of us grapple with. How can we maximally steward God’s calling on our lives without dropping the ball on the rest of our responsibilities? Is it possible to step into the ‘more’ God is inviting us into without going under?

By sharing her story and deep-diving into scripture, Becs leaves us with a grace-filled, heartfelt response …

You are loved.
You are enough.
and…
You are not responsible for everything!

Practical, biblical, pastoral… there’s not enough words to say how much we love this book. Copies available at Replenish Conference venues across NZ this weekend or jump online and order your copy at:
www.BecsGreen.com

Amazon worldwide, Kindle, Barnes & Noble or your preferred online bookstore. ✨📖✨

Mother’s Day is coming and what better way to honour mothers and daughters on every side of the adoption story, than with a real-life testimony of hope, healing and wholeness. Highly recommended. Order today from the author, Lynne.Leppard or check out our online bookstore at www.torncurtainpublishing.com/tcpbookstore

Appreciation Post: 📘 My first writing coach Sally Mazak has offered her book review (and photo) of Road to Belonging, which I've added below. With Sally's guidance, my writing began to take form and with her creativity and patience, the words began to flow onto the paper. Thank you Sally for your encouragement, and for sharing this with us. Here's what she has written:

Book review 📘 A few years ago, I was coaching online for the NZ Writers College when I met Lynne Leppard, a dedicated student and beautiful spirit with whom I still keep in touch. During our 8 weeks of walking through my course, ‘Breaking through your writing barriers,’ we gently cleared a path for her to author her incredible adoption story. ‘Road to Belonging—Establishing a legacy of love after closed adoption’.

Lynne’s new book is a deeply affecting memoir that unearths a layered personal history with remarkable emotional tenacity. Lynne’s ability to revisit painful memories—digging beneath the surface to access silent grief and primal wounds—is both courageous and profound. Lynne explores the impact of early separation, the complexity of adoption, and the ripple effects of moral and cultural dogma. While the religious lens may not resonate with all, the story’s universal themes—identity, truth-telling and healing—shine through. A powerful reunion twist adds hope to a difficult journey. Honest, insightful, and brave, this book offers vital perspective and validation for anyone shaped by adoption or for friends wanting to understand the experience.

‘Lest They Have Eyes’ is our most ambitious book yet … and with more than 20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on Goodreads, readers all agree, Bonivon Dyer has absolutely crushed it!

“For six centuries, the utopia of Elusis has thrived—a society of supernatural Gifts, peace, and prosperity. But beneath the surface, secrets stir. Arkarian Story, a long-lost warlord, lies frozen in a hidden cryo tank, his name a whisper of fear and rebellion. His awakening could destroy everything…”

“A huge breakthrough for Christian fantasy/sci-fi.”

🌟 New Release from Torn Curtain Publishing! 🌟

We are thrilled to announce the launch of KNOWN: Poems of Perspective and Growth by Heather Pound! 📚✨

It has been an absolute privilege to work with Heather on this stunning collection of poetry - and to celebrate with her this past weekend!

Heather Pound is a practicing counsellor, a compassionate observer of life and nature and beauty, and a truly masterful weaver of words.

Having crossed many cultures and experienced her own fair share of the ups and downs of life, Heather writes in a way that is highly relatable yet emotionally intelligent. For anyone who struggles to articulate their feelings or to process either the wonders or the difficulties of life, Heather’s poetry helps fill the gap. 🌿💫

For those in need of a gentle reminder that we are all seen, valued, and ultimately, known, this is the book for you. As one reader shares: “Heather writes with a comforting wisdom that holds up the ordinary experiences that each of us encounter as part of this thing called ‘being alive.’ Each poem calls us to pay attention, whether to the natural world around us, or to the rich inner world that we are shaped from.”

‘Known’ is now available worldwide! To order a copy for yourself or a friend, please visit www.heatherpound.com or www.torncurtainpublishing.com/bookstore (NZ buyers) or visit Amazon in your region. Also available on Nook, Kindle and Barnes & Noble🌻

This weekend we are celebrating the launch of a TCP book that we believe will be of immense blessing to the church at large, to pastors, carers and mental health practitioners, and to all those who struggle to reconcile their mental health struggles with their Christian faith.

Endorsed by some of today’s leading theologians, medical practitioners and ministry leaders, this book is a resource that every pastor should have on their shelf.

The beauty of this book is that while it draws together a wealth of accepted psychiatric knowledge and biblical understanding, it is written in a gentle, fatherly style, making it a wonderful gift and a highly-readable book for people of all backgrounds.

To purchase your copy, head to links in bio in or visit Amazon.com in your region.

Also available via Kindle, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, or your preferred online retailer. For bookstore enquires or speaking requests, please DM or email [email protected].

We are also excited that in addition to offering professional psychiatric treatment from his clinic in Sydney, Australia, Kam will also be expanding his online ministry, www.healthymindconcepts.com

Follow Kam on YouTube or reach out on socials

Finally, congratulations Dr. Kam from all of us here at Torn Curtain Publishing! We are celebrating with you today and believing with you that your book will bring fresh understanding and much-needed relief to readers far and wide. 🙏🙌

Kicking us off this week is this superb new book by Ps. Bruce Monk . . .

In these pages, Bruce Monk helps ministry leaders understand how to steward God-given vision in the context of today’s leadership challenges and how courageous grassroots reforms can set in motion an unstoppable move of God.
