Spanning from personal accounts of struggles and victories to stories of extraordinary love and expressions of gratitude, these literary reads promise to captivate readers and offer new insights and outlooks on the intricacies of the human experience.

Challenging the conventional notions of love and passion, Ettenig Sayam unveils an intriguing tale of love, transformation, and spiritual enlightenment in “Aren & Élise”. In this contemporary reinterpretation of the biblical tale of Abraham and Sarah, the novel introduces Aren Karajian, a widowed sixty-two-year-old solar technology engineer from Armenia as he crosses paths with Élise Douchet, a fifty-year-old French teacher at a Boston prep school with roots in Montreal, Canada, French Saint Martin, and Haiti. As Élise comes to terms with turning 50, she sets out on a hiking retreat in Vermont, where a sudden fall brings her face-to-face with Aren. As romance blooms between the two, the couple pushes societal expectations, defying the constraints of age and convention.

Ettenig Sayam’s thought-provoking narrative raises questions about the spiritual dimensions of intimacy, prompting reflection on the essence of love and commitment in the later years. “Aren & Elise” artfully captures the celebration of love’s enduring power, defying both age and social conventions. Sayam’s adept grasp of the intricate workings of passion takes the novel to new heights, leaving readers to ponder on the timeless and universal nature of love.

Delving into the depths of faith and resilience, Tommye W. Hayden shares the heart-wrenching journey of her family’s fight against a life-threatening illness in “Marcy’s Story”. While visiting Marcy’s house in November 1988, Tommye discovered a bump on her daughter’s upper left arm. Tommye acted quickly, organizing an X-ray and MRI that uncovered the harsh truth of likely cancer. After consulting with her trusted physician, Dr. Kearns, Marcy received confirmation through a biopsy that she was facing an extremely rare and deadly form of cancer usually found in the leg. Compounding their challenges, Tommye’s husband, Brian, has been fighting a rare blood disorder, TTP, which has necessitated extended hospital stays over the last four years.

Tommye W. Hayden’s memoir moves beyond merely recounting medical struggles; it shines a light on the steadfast faith that served as the family’s anchor during turbulent circumstances. Hayden’s narrative strives to be a powerful reminder that, even in the darkest moments, God stands as a pillar of strength and guidance, providing comfort and assurance through His divine plan. “Marcy’s Story” is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative impact of unwavering belief in overcoming life’s toughest obstacles.

Dispelling the prevalent notion of a stern God, Collins’ narrative reveals a loving Heavenly Father who wishes well-being and happiness for all His children, free from fear, sickness, and sorrow. Through a metamorphic journey of seeking, recognizing, and heeding God’s voice, Collins discovered the abundance that God eagerly offers to all who believe. In her riveting tell-all, Collins recounts the journey from a challenging past to a present filled with spiritual fulfillment, financial prosperity, vibrant health, and meaningful connections. Her story highlights that these blessings were not due to any extraordinary qualities she possessed but a reflection of God’s inherent goodness.

“God is Good: Revised Second Edition (Hindi Version)” inspires readers to embrace a life led by faith and encourages them to delve further into their connection with God.
