I published an ebook last month called When Fear Comes Knocking: A Journey through Psalm 23. I was working on a different book last year which i planned to publish April this year (last month). However, in November, the Holy Spirit laid it on my heart to write a devotional to help believers combat fear. I sensed in my spirit the need to make this an easy read so young people and young believers can understand it. Oftentimes we tell our kids to study the bible but we forget that the bible can be overwhelming for them at times.
I paused my initial book and started on this. However when the heat of the coronavirus pandemic started, i was overwhelmed with working from home, homeschooling my 2 kids and looking after my preschooler that i forgot about the book. Thankfully the Holy Spirit reminded me again and this time i had to do it urgently because i now saw why He told me to write it in the first place.
This short devotional acknowledges the reality of fear and highlights how we can overcome being crippled with it using Psalm 23 as a guide.
You can get a copy of the ebook here.
Get a copy for yourself, for that new believer who needs help in this season, for someone who coronavirus has affected, for that person who is scared of tomorrow and also for your child. I will be glad to see your reviews after reading.
I wish to nominate the following Bloggers
Robert – Watching Daily at Kingdom’s Gate
Dawn – Drawing Closer to Christ
Kim Petitt – Beyond Limitations
Congratulations!
Thanks Efua, and well done! 🙂

Congratulations, Efua. You deserve this award. As I said before your book is inspiring and easy to read. I believe that the youths will enjoy reading it.
When I reached the end of the book I tried to post a review but it is not allowing me to do so. I am not sure why but I am working on it. In the meantime, I posted the link to your book on my Facebook and church Whatsapp chat group. God has given you a special gift to write and expound the scriptures. I wish you all the best and keep up the good work.
