From the quiet town of Southside, Alabama, Darlene M. Link shares an extraordinary story of faith, healing, and divine purpose. A retired legal assistant, devoted wife, mother of seven, and grandmother of twelve, Darlene’s life took a miraculous turn after years of pain and suffering. Through an angelic message, she was inspired to write I Give This to You Lord — a powerful testimony of God’s healing grace and enduring love. Join the Tell Your Story Team to learn more about Darlene and her story.

“The Lord is real—He never leaves us and is here for us when we call upon Him. Healing of the mind, body, and spirit is possible through faith in Christ.” – Darlene M. Link

What is your name, and where are you from?
My name is Darlene M. Link, I live in the United States, Southside, Alabama.

What do you do for a living?
Although I love the study of law, I am happy to be a retired legal assistant. Now I can enjoy my husband and our growing family.

What are your hobbies and interests?
I enjoy reading, camping and traveling. I love working with wood and donate hand-made gifts at my church and local benefits. As an artist, I restore concrete statues, build projects using wood, painting murals and canvas. I also enjoy face painting children’s faces at local festivals. Their smiles make me smile.

What are two special or unique things about you that are probably not known by your co-workers and acquaintances?
In my youth, I desired to be a nun, but after falling in love with children, I decided I wanted a large family. If it weren’t for my seven children, and twelve grandchildren I would move to Sicily. My husband and I travel there every two years, and I have fallen in love with the culture, food, and its majestic views on the Mediterranean Sea. But my love for my family is greater than my desires to live afar.

Are there causes or issues that you truly care about?
I passionately pray families would be more like a family. Where both parents and single parents can be present more than physically, without the distraction of electronic devices. Sharing the importance of going to church together. Without God in their life and the knowledge of Jesus as their Savior while they are young, could lead to never exploring and learn this as adults. Preserving the family and learning about our creator is momentous to our salvation. God created the Ten Commandments for humankind to follow. These laws are greater than secular laws in this world. God created them as guidelines for us to follow. This will allow us to absorb these good morals and ethical values. In doing so, we can love one another and emulate what Jesus taught us.

In three to five sentences, what is your story as a person?
I do my best to live the life of a shepherd that I’ve learned through Jesus Christ’s teachings. Helping and loving others is a passion of mine. Although I do not profess to be perfect, because I am human and have many faults, but I do pray I am living a life in this temporary home that is pleasing to the Lord. I strive consciously to learn through my shortcomings. I ask for forgiveness, and with His grace, pray He will raise me up to live an eternal life with my Heavenly Father, as promised multiple times in the Holy Bible.

What is the main story you want to share with the world through your book?
The most important thing I hope people will take away from reading my book is that the Lord is real, He never leaves us and is here for us when we call upon Him. I heard an angelic message saying, “Write a book, it will help people.” For this reason, I believe this message is meant for those reading this now or someone they know who needs a healing or a reunion with Christ. My family lives by Romans 8:28, “we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love and serve Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Being healed mentally, physically, or emotionally is possible through Christ and faith in Him. Trust God and allow Him to orchestrate the events of your healing.

If you had an opportunity to share just ONE message with the WHOLE WORLD right now, what would it be?
Bring God back in your family’s life, if you haven’t already. Through your love and devotion of our Lord, help bring people to Christ so they too can live an eternal life with our Heavenly Father.

What does family mean to you?
Family is the heart of my life, other than my love for our Lord. No matter how old our children are, they will always need us and our wisdom through our own experiences in life. To me, all families should live by the teachings of the Ten Commandments. If we print out and hang up the Ten Commandments in our homes, we are teaching our children the morals and values God intended for all of us.

Tell us about your book
In a moment of desperation, she received an angelic message that changed the direction of this author's life. While enjoying her perfect world and perfect family came two unexpected debilitating diseases. After suffering three and a half years of 24/7 pain and relying on a walker and wheelchair she knew it was time to ask God for a healing. His promise in the Bible became a reality. After her miraculous healing, she received another angelic message, "Write a book, it will help people." She wrote this book, explaining His marvelous healing message. She believes anyone picking up this book, isn't picking it up by chance, it's a message from God for them or someone they know needing a healing.

What happens when your perfect world collapses under the weight of pain, disease, and hopelessness? For Darlene M. Link, a devoted wife, mother of seven, and first-time author, it was in that moment of desperation that heaven broke through. An angel’s message set her on a path of faith, surrender, and miraculous healing—one she now shares in her debut book, I Give This to You Lord: An Angelic Message of His Healing.

This deeply personal memoir-testimony invites readers into Darlene’s extraordinary journey. After being struck with two debilitating diseases that left her relying on a walker and wheelchair for more than three years, she turned to God in faith. His promises in Scripture became her lifeline. What followed was nothing short of miraculous: a supernatural healing and a new calling—“Write a book, it will help people.”

Darlene’s story is raw, real, and radiant with hope. It is not simply her testimony—it is an invitation to every reader. She believes that no one picks up this book by accident. If you or someone you love is suffering physically, emotionally, or spiritually, I Give This to You Lord is a reminder that God still heals, still restores, and still answers prayer.

09/29/2025

Can modern science and philosophy truly point us toward God? In a culture that often claims faith and reason cannot coexist, retired physician and bioethics expert Antony Latham presents a compelling case that the very disciplines often used to deny God’s existence actually provide some of the strongest evidence for Him. His new book, When I Consider Your Heavens: How Science and Philosophy Lead Us to God (Kharis Publishing, 2025), is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the big questions of life.

Drawing on cosmology, biology, paleontology, consciousness studies, moral philosophy, and aesthetics, Latham argues that the universe bears unmistakable marks of intelligent design and divine purpose. He carefully dismantles the myth of a purely material universe and shows that science and philosophy, far from being enemies of faith, can lead us directly to belief in God.

A Journey Through Science, Philosophy, and Faith
The beginning of the universe demands an explanation beyond itself.

The fine-tuning of physical laws necessary for life points unmistakably to design.

Paleontology and biology reveal signs of intelligence behind the development of life.

Consciousness, morality, free will, and beauty defy materialistic explanations.

History itself bears witness through the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus.

This book not only challenges the assumptions of atheism and materialism but also offers hope and meaning in a world that often insists on purposelessness. It invites skeptics, seekers, and believers alike to reconsider the heavens—and the God who made them.

Endorsements from Leading Thinkers
“Drawing on contemporary philosophy and science, Dr. Latham has written an accessible and lively introduction to a wide range of reasons for diagnosing the Universe as God’s creation.” —Peter S. Williams, author of A Universe from Someone

“In succinct prose, Dr. Antony Latham summarizes the compelling reasons given by science and philosophy for the existence of God. I heartily recommend it to anyone who is wondering about this most important question of our lives.” —Michael J. Behe, author of Darwin’s Black Box

“An excellent primer on the many reasons why advances in science and our human experience of moral feelings and beauty point us to the existence of God.” —Dr. Trevor Stammers, ethicist and author

09/24/2025

In a world where brokenness often overshadows hope, some voices rise to remind us that healing and transformation are still possible. One such voice is Caprice Scott—an author, teacher, and minister whose journey from trauma to restoration has fueled her passion for helping others find purpose, wholeness, and joy. From the high desert of Colorado, she not only writes and teaches but also lives as a “hope dealer,” guiding people toward renewal through discipleship, community, and the boundless love of God.

“The restoration of people who feel helpless and broken is the greatest need in our world today.” – Caprice Scott

What is your name, and where are you from?
My name is Caprice Scott, I live in the high desert of Colorado state, USA.

What do you do for a living?
I'm an author, teacher, and minister. I teach people how to heal through mind renewal, discipleship, and community. I am also a cat food can opener for 3 felines.

What are your hobbies and interests?
Living in Colorado, I have the incredible opportunity to be in the mountains within 45 minutes of home. My husband and I enjoy camping, hiking, canoeing, and cross-country skiing. I'm always up for a new travel adventure and am fascinated by history and the American Southwest. I'm happiest in the mountains or Southern Utah. Also, cats.

What are two special or unique things about you that are probably not known by your co-workers and acquaintances?
I have climbed 15 of Colorado's 14,000 ft. mountains. (Uphill, both ways!)Most of the clothing in my closet came from a thrift store.

Are there causes or issues that you truly care about?
I am a passionate hope dealer, looking for the gold in others and encouraging them to become their true, authentic selves. The restoration of people who feel helpless and broken is the greatest need in our world today and it's my desire to lead others to find and embrace their potential, experience healing, and to embrace life with JOY!

In three to five sentences, what is your story as a person?
I experienced a great deal of childhood and young adult trauma into my mid 30s and became extremely ill and bedridden in 2019, to the point I didn't expect to survive. Through a series of miraculous experiences, I learned how to heal, not only physically, but emotionally, and spiritually. Today, I live to make the world a better place - facilitating healing through messages of love, encouragement, helping people find their purpose and potential, and genuine connection with others.

What is the main story you want to share with the world through your book?
As One is about hope. Most of us at some point wonder - "Why am I here?" "What is my purpose?" "How can I be whole?" As One takes the reader through spiritual topics such as who God is, who we are, and how we can navigate life with His help. It's through these things that we begin to experience healing in every part of our being.

Caprice Scott is the author of As One: The Biblically Based Discipleship & Mind Renewal Program. From September 20–26, 2025, the Kindle edition of As One will be available for only $0.99 on all major platforms:

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/241774629

Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/1148043017

If you had an opportunity to share just ONE message with the WHOLE WORLD right now, what would it be?
Agape love is the answer to everything. While it sounds like platitude, the truth is, anything that is wrong in the world can be healed through this kind of love... we just need to learn how to receive it, experience it, and give it.

What does family mean to you?
Family - my people - whether connected by genetics, households, or other means of relationship. Family may mean sitting around the table sharing meals and stories, around the Christmas tree exchanging gifts, meeting friends online to share encouragement, or joining with members of a local church congregation for worship and prayer. True family is community - a place we can be our true selves, loved, accepted, experienced. The entire human race is a family - each individually part of the whole (like a puzzle), and it's the need of every soul to find and experience their place that we all may be complete. Also, cats.

Isaiah 12:3 – “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.”

Salvation brings unshakable joy. No matter what we face, the assurance of being redeemed secures our gladness.

09/22/2025

For years, Caprice Scott lived in pain—crippled by the weight of childhood trauma, emotional scars, and physical illness so severe that by 2019 she was bedridden and told there was no way forward. But God had other plans.

Through a journey of mind renewal and discipleship in Christ, Caprice discovered not only her healing, but also her true identity as a new creation in Him. Now, she is sharing that same pathway with the world in her powerful new book, As One: The Biblically Based Discipleship & Mind Renewal Program.

Unlike traditional devotionals, As One is a structured program designed to help believers go beyond surface-level faith and experience the fullness of life promised in Scripture. It equips readers to:

Understand who they are in Christ and walk in that identity.

Recognize the impact of their thoughts and words—and align them with God’s Word for healing.

Replace fear and doubt with peace, authority, and confidence.

Encounter God’s love in a deeply personal way.

Pastors and leaders are calling As One “life-changing,” “divinely inspired,” and “a resource for every believer.” One reviewer shared, “This program helped me reinforce the truth of who I am in Jesus… Caprice’s teaching style connected me with God tangibly as my loving Father.”

Caprice’s story is proof that God still heals, restores, and transforms. As One invites readers to embrace that same reality—discovering the power of living reconciled to God, whole in spirit, soul, and body.

09/08/2025

Justice is a topic that is discussed in a myriad of ways. You could be talking about a court room, an occupation or simply an interaction that you have with another human. An innate sense of justice rises within humanity from a young age. Toddlers taking vengeance into their own hands after a toy is stolen from them with a quick punch to the thief’s arm tells us everything we need to know: We desire justice.

The main problem that we find within the context of justice primarily falls to “who” gets to carry it out and “what” do they get to do. As with the toddler referenced above, we all have our own ideas of what that should look like, which means we also believe we should be the arbiter. However, especially in the grip of emotion, humans have proven throughout history that in most cases, justice should be left to a higher power. One with wisdom, foresight, compassion, empathy and context.

When taken into our own hands, self-absorbed justice meant to inflict harm tends to do just that. Harm others. And generally, those who are harmed the most are the most innocent among us. The poor, alien, marginalized, unborn, widows and orphans are typically the people misguided attempts at justice impact the most. Unironically, each of those people groups are specifically mentioned within the sacred texts as those Christians must advocate for.

Whether someone is reading the Old or the New Testament, the Bible is clear: Christians are meant to leave justice in the hands of the God they claim to follow. Any actions taken to clear our own name, pay someone back, make them feel what we felt, are instinctively fueled by self-righteousness that is seldom deemed as godly. God may use us as an instrument of justice, but the initiation of that justice must always be led by Him.

That feeling of wanting wrongs to be righted and for good to overcome evil isn’t inherently a bad thing. It shows what Scripture tells us, is true: We are made in the image of God. His heart is to make all things right, to restore what was broken and to redeem what seems impossibly lost. It makes sense that we would also feel those things, consciously or not. So, should humanity give up on seeking justice at all? No. But we are called to seek that justice alongside and in partnership with God, not on our own.

The world has plenty of ideas of what justice should look like. From the electric chair on one side of the extreme to no consequences for evil on the other. People land anywhere on the spectrum that is dictated by their personal experiences. But what catches the attention of Christians and Non-Christians alike is when people emulate the Savior they claim to follow by forgiving those who trespass against them and turn the other cheek.

Meekness, which is having the disposition of humility and gentleness despite having power is an attribute lost in modern Christianity. Mired in political tribalism, the pursuit of justice is typically only reserved for those who hold your positions or are beneficial to your cause. Having the power to carry out your own selfish version of justice and having the self-control not to carry it out is what followers of Christ are called to. It doesn’t satiate our fleshly desire, but it is godly.

Justice is a hot topic button in both a local and international context. It is discussed daily and within the context of many conversations. We may not call it that but having opinions about what should happen to a criminal that was caught, what a response should be in war time, how much money a single individual should have or any other topic that may arise on the news that evening, humans have a vested interest in seeing justice.

We start pursuing biblical justice by advocating for those who can’t for themselves. Look for those that don’t have the savings accounts to fall back on or the people who don’t have a voice to speak. You can name which political party is using which vulnerable group as a pawn right now as it stands in this current moment, but you will be surprised when you go research what political party carried their torch two decades ago. It is never actually about helping those people. It is only about power. Being a Christian means loving God and loving others justly even when there is nothing to gain from it.

There can be many discussions and viewpoints about what justice should look like, when we should depend on God to take care of it or when Christians should intervene with actions of their own. But one thing is for sure, if you claim to follow God, you should be known as someone who treats others justly and seeking for others to do the same.

This is the heart behind Is it just? – A Thematic Study of the Book of Jeremiah By Trevor Whitman
The book of Jeremiah is a sobering read. As a prophet, he was tasked with calling the people of Israel to repent. To turn from their wicked ways of worshipping false gods and entertaining fruitless prophecies. Abandon their cruel ways of treating the most vulnerable among them with injustice and scorn. He points out that their self-sufficient lives were a form of disobedience and calls them to a life of radical repentance. These woes are not reserved only for the Israelites of old. Anyone who claims to be a follower of God needs to take an inventory of the themes littered throughout the book and evaluate if God is asking them to repent of the same offenses.

Our Story

Kharis Publishing Company is an independent book publisher which was founded in NW Arkansas in 2015, and now headquartered in greater Chicago metro. From acquisition, editorial review, production, to marketing and distribution, it's absolutely free. But we go beyond current traditional publishing model which barely rewards authors for their creative work. We pay some of the highest royalty rates in the entire industry. Why? Because we get a kick out of sharing amazing stories of grace and redemption. Plain and simple. We publish non-fiction (including health/wellness). Kharis Publishing is currently accepting manuscripts. Send your query or book proposal to [email protected]. Before sending a query though, we recommend learning a bit more about us to get a feel about our publishing model: https://www.kharispublishing.com For every book sold, we donate a portion of proceeds to establish resource centers for orphanages to help prepare these amazing kids for a brighter tomorrow. Just because they are orphans today doesn't mean their future has to be limited. Books have the power to inspire and challenge these kids to dream and aspire towards greatness. Join this change movement. Be part of something that really matters. Get in touch either as an author, reader, or supporter: https://www.kharispublishing.com/send-query
