Childhood Memories at Twilight

Childhood Memories at Twilight shows the turbulent relationship between the author and her mother where her siblings were favoured and her emotional journey to become who she is today.

This is a story of a feisty young girl trying to overcome being belittled and bullied, struggling to get out of her mother’s clutches and be independent through education.

She managed to get a degree in Economic Sciences and met her boyfriend who is now her husband of 34 years. She then took a risk and left her country to be with her boyfriend in Antigua where she learnt to sail. Coming from a landlocked country this was very frightening for her because she can’t swim! She got married 18 months later and they moved to England. Sailing became part of her life as her husband was a sailor. She managed to win 3 cups from her Royal Yacht Club Logs. 

The book is about her childhood and sailing to new places and discovering new ways of anchoring on rocks to get privacy, especially in Sweden.

She feels believing in yourself is the way forward to achieving your goals.

Children's Christmas Rhymes

Mince pies and carrots on the plate

Glass of milk in pride of place

Under the tree is the perfect place

Waiting for Santa with his jolly face

Santa plays the perfect role

Sack in hand, presents placed

Off he goes to another place

Riding high in the sky

I caught a glimpse as reindeer galloped by

Merry Christmas everyone

Chill, Sandman. I'm still busy

Rules are rules but not fun. Sometimes it is more fun to break a rule. Especially if it means that you can stay awake a little longer to do what you really want to do. Who can fall asleep anyway, with a gaming tablet calling you to come and play?

Once more, courage and determination is needed.

Can the new team perform this dangerous rescue mission?

Chloe’s Extraordinary Telescope

Chloe Blackthorne is an only child of parents who are rather older than many parents and who are quite strict. One day, she sneaks into the loft which her parents have forbidden her from entering, and discovers a strange telescope hidden away! Chloe quickly discovers that it has extraordinary powers to both see into the future and into the past, becoming her favourite possession as she explores time. One day while using the telescope in her garden, a happy-go-lucky boy named Jack sees her using it and asks to have a look through the telescope himself. Much to her amazement, she discovers that Jack can see exactly the same through it as she does! So begins a series of adventures which get steadily scarier as the two of them look further and further into the future. What exciting and terrifying adventures await Chloe and Jack with their extraordinary magical telescope?

Choices

Genesis 3 in the Bible describes the events that led to man’s fall from grace and into a broken world. This scripture describes how the devil (the serpent) influenced the first instance in which man chose to disobey God. In doing so, man fell from grace and effectively gave his dominion of this Earth away to the devil.

We make many choices daily; we do not, however, consider the implications of these choices. Just as the devil influenced man’s first wrong choice in Eden, he continues today to orchestrate events in each of our lives intending to push us further away from God and closer to eternal damnation.

This is a tale of an individual who learnt through grace the implications of his choices and received an opportunity to turn away from certain death.

“The good shepherd will always seek after a lost sheep.”

Choose Life

Choose Life is a remarkable book about God’s glory and grace that culminates to a crescendo that is vividly expressed in Ephesians 3:

Are you ready to make a choice?

• Whom do you choose?
• What is your purpose in life?
• What is your vision concerning others?

Wendy Govender provides you these stimulating, motivating and astounding messages to progress and sustain your walk and talk with Jesus. The question is: do you want to change?

Choosing Life

Have you ever wondered how to escape from depression? Or indeed, how to help someone escape from such a prison? This book finally opens up the doors to a mysterious world that an outsider cannot normally experience. Up until now, there existed an almost unbridgeable gap between the ‘normal’ world and the ‘depressed person’s’ world. Using a personable and honest narrative, the text provides a unique window of experiential understanding, whereby the sufferer can feel truly helped, and no longer alone; by accompanying someone who has really been there too.

Using a unique approach, interweaving three different strategies comprising hard-won personal experience, a practical cognitive tool-kit that works and God’s living word full of wisdom and truth, the author sign-posts for the reader the pathway towards a real and lasting freedom; a freedom which sometimes challenges our worldly notions of life and success that tend to keep us imprisoned and enslaved.

The book is a powerful and inspiring portrayal of upheaval and renewal, demonstrating to the reader that a strong backbone for life can come from an often overlooked source.

Christian Experiences & Spiritual Growth

Christian Experiences & Spiritual Growth addresses the search for satisfaction with heart and soul happiness. God and being a Christian are seen as its sources. The book defines who is a Christian and how to become one. It dodges none of the trials and temptations in the Christian life but explains how that God as Father, Jesus as Saviour and the Holy Spirit as Guide, Teacher and Comforter, constantly help towards victory, growth, and maturity. Prayer, reading and obeying God’s Word have a pivotal role in the experiences of satisfaction and happiness and the truth that every Christian has a home in heaven is cheering.  

Readers will gain spiritual knowledge and be able to correct erroneous practice as they read through the book with the Bible alongside, paying attention to the scriptural references on subject areas, put suggestions into practice appropriately and grow spiritually. Reading the book over many sittings will be more profitable than attempting to rush through it. I have employed an explanatory strategy for ease of understanding. For example, I have explained the meaning of some words, phrases, and terms in the body of the book and set out comparative tables to illustrate narratives in the text. These can be used for quick references and reminders.
