Suitable for all ages, Bellator’s quest to restore the
world shows how anyone of any age and from anywhere can influence their
world if they have hope, work together, and celebrate the beauty—and
humour—amid the shadows. This book is for all those who, with ageless joy and
daring, notice and celebrate all that is beautiful, pure, and good. It is for
those needing a fresh perspective to navigate life’s shadows—light wins, hope
wins, love wins.
When the redhead Bellator visits the Ancient Ruin in Heart, a site out of bounds since the Great Betrayal, he sees the Elders open The Way to Anveeh. Of course, he remembers these words and simply must try them… And thus begins an adventure that will change the fate of Heart.
Bellator gets an unexpected audience with Ahava, the King of Anveeh, who commissions him to restore the three Oracles of Heartean society: Liberty, Plenty, and Glory. Their restoration is necessary if the two worlds, Heart and Anveeh, are to be joined again. The Restoration sets out to thwart the plans of the Rebellion; a growing group of power-hungry and self-seeking creatures making use of the shadow tools to overthrow Heart and dethrone Ahava. The Restoration gets help from unexpected places; learns that challenges can be solved by many creative means; faces their doubts about their own abilities, and doubts about Ahava’s character. They experience the power of hope as well as sacrifice, forgiveness, and gratitude. (Published 2025)

When the righteous are in authority and become great, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh. (Proverbs 29:2)
Leadership, no matter how insignificant in scope, will always be a challenge as its main tenet is responsibility for other human beings.
We are told to pray for
those in authority so that we can have peace (1 Timothy 2:1-4). But praying for our leaders can be tricky – because we often get
in the way! Our fears, opinions and heart motives result in prayers that cannot
be honoured by God.
How can we bring those who
have been appointed to rule over us before God in a manner that honours them
and God – where righteous transformation is the focus instead of judgment?
We have the opportunity to
sow powerful seeds of blessing over the individuals who shape our lives. In
faith we can expect that these seeds will germinate and mature our leaders to
excel in the godly fulfilment of their catalytic roles in our society.
Blessing Leaders is a tool to pray for and bless leaders from Scripture.
Our opinions will never accomplish the change our communities need.
However, voicing the truths
of the Father over countless influential people, will.
His Word will never return
void, but will accomplish and prosper in the thing for which He sent it (Is
55:11). (Published 2019)

Word journeys is exactly that – using words, in poetic form, to give expression to thoughts and feelings about everyday issues that most of us face; the journeys we all take in accepting our worth, in loving and hurting, in experiencing joy and wonder. In short, when trying to make sense of it all while en route to a destination, seeking an answer, and at other times, taking the journey for the scenery alone. These poems aim to inspire and comfort. Many of the word journeys in this book take the form of conversations with or questions to God. Whether the responses and conclusions – or silences – are true is for the reader to decide.
