MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“You Are…: Reclaiming Your Identity in Christ”: a potent exploration of one’s well-being. “You Are…: Reclaiming Your Identity in Christ” is the creation of published author Linda Hoffman, a loving wife who, along with husband, Fred, is passionate about preaching the word of God. Together they have completed many short-term mission trips around the world to help repair homes.

Hoffman shares, “Through some emotional trauma experienced several years ago, Linda felt as if she had lost her identity in Christ. For a while, she thought she did not know who she was in God’s sight. During the process of healing from the hurts of the past, Linda wrote her first book, Let It Go. Now, as she continues her journey of inner healing, God impressed upon her to write a book about regaining one’s identity in Christ, primarily intended for women yet men can gain encouragement as well.

“Has anyone ever asked you who you are in Christ, and you could not give an answer? Linda’s newest book, You Are… will help those who are searching to discover their identity in Christ. Those who may have suffered emotional trauma at the hands of others in their life, as was Linda’s experience, will soon find the answers they are seeking. After reading this book, you will be able to know who Christ has made you to be, valuable, beautiful, chosen, forgiven, a child of the Most High God. If you are questioning who you are in Christ, this is a needed read. You Are… is filled with encouragement, help, and hope just for you.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Linda Hoffman’s new book is a considerate look into difficult times and how one can overcome through faith.

This intriguing devotional is an inspiring collection of personal reflections intended to help readers discover who God intends them to be.

New autobiography narrates how one woman fought the system to rebuild her family

BARRY, Wales (PRWEB)

Holly Hail marks her first publishing venture with the release of “The Day Holly Took on the Government” (published by Xlibris UK). In this autobiography, she shares her experiences of fighting the system to rebuild her family.

“The Day Holly Took on the Government” recounts the author’s life story, the mistakes she made with her daughter, and her encounters with the social services who tore her grandson away from his family.

“It’s a sad story, but worth (the) read,” Hail states. “When my grandson is of age and able to read this book, he will know how much I love him and how I fought for his freedom to be with his mum. I am deeply saddened that my grandson never had the chance to know his great-grandmother like I have. If social services had allowed my mother to have seen her very first great-grandchild, then I am sure she would not have died, and my grandson, Gordon-Leigh, would have had many great memories of his great-grandmother.”

“The Day Holly Took on the Government” tells a relatable, cautionary tale with a happy ending. Despite being unable to win against the government, Hail finally finds her conscience cleared as she fought a good fight until the end.

Thrive! Host Home Network Seeks Volunteers in Frederick County

Leave a comment



FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)

The Student Homelessness Initiative Partnership (SHIP) of Frederick County is seeking volunteer hosts for its program, the Thrive! Host Home Network. As the school year begins, SHIP has begun to see an increased need for hosts to participate in this program. Since its inception in 2019, the program has paired more than 20 homeless youth with hosts who provided safe and secure temporary housing.

Hosts are asked to provide a private room for a young person, which could be part of their home or a separate space. They are asked to assist in providing groceries and occasional transportation. Hosts are not asked to parent, but to provide stable shelter for an independent young adult. During a young person’s 3-6 month stay, they work directly with a Thrive case manager to create a plan to exit the host home and enter a more permanent housing solution. Both the host and the young person have full access to SHIP’s many support services during this time. Hosts also receive a stipend to assist with the cost of participation.

While many hosts have no previous connection to homeless youth, many have an existing relationship with a young person in need of services. Adults who are already acting as an informal host for a young person without stable housing are encouraged to contact SHIP and start accessing its services. A background check will be required.

For more information, visit thrive.shipfrederick.com or contact Maureen at maureen@shipfrederick.com.

According to the US Department of Education, there are over 1.5 million public school students nationwide who experience homelessness each year. In June 2019, there were 158 unaccompanied homeless youth enrolled in Frederick County Public Schools. SHIP works to improve the lives of Frederick County’s most vulnerable youth who are experiencing homelessness.

God can take what is broken and fix it, God can take what is hopeless and make it hopeful.


TYLER, Texas (PRWEB)

Author Lawrence E. Hodges shares his personal story of deliverance in When Miracles Began: Psalms 25 ($14.49, paperback, 9781545657232; $6.99, e-book, 9781545657249).

After being molested as a young boy, Lawrence looked for love in all the wrong places. He ended up in prison, pleading with God to deliver him from his bi-sexual desires and lifestyle. Only through God’s grace was he finally able to forgive his childhood abuser and, eventually, to also forgive himself.

“God can take what is broken and fix it, God can take what is hopeless and make it hopeful. Choose to trust God will work out everything in your life for his glory,” said Lawrence.

Lawrence E. Hodges follows his passion of serving in the Kingdom of God through prison ministry and park ministry.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date. When Miracles Began: Psalms 25 is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
