About the Author

Born in Queensland, Australia, Talaylin developed a love of the performing arts at an early age. She learnt piano, violin and classical singing from the age of 5. Talaylin has enjoyed playing in orchestras and bands, singing in and conducting choirs, and performing in musical theatre and drama productions throughout Australia and overseas. Her passion for music and her belief in its important role in a child’s development drew her to the teaching profession.

A humanitarian at heart, Talaylin has combined her love of music and literature to write and illustrate several children’s picture books to raise funds for children living in extreme poverty. She also participates in events that increase awareness of and support anti-slavery projects in Cambodia, Nepal and Australia.

Talaylin enjoys the challenges of long distance running including half-marathons, marathons and trail runs. She has walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain, as well as hiking the Kokoda track in Papua New Guinea.

Talaylin loves spending time with her partner Leo and their dogs, reading, composing, teaching music and hanging out with friends and family.

Child In A Manger was inspired by some of Talaylin’s fondest childhood memories of being involved in Christmas Nativity plays. Talaylin and her sisters, Kiana and Courtney loved dressing up as angels and playing Twinkle Twinkle on their violins.

The sheet music for Child In A Manger can be found at the back of this book and the song is available at Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music and YouTube Music.

Dog Backwards Spells God

This small book proposes a charming way in which we might better understand and appreciate God, thereby improving our relationship with Him.

It is perhaps more than coincidence that DOG backwards spells GOD. Valid comparisons can be made between our relationship with dogs and our relationship with God. Occasionally we see that dogs reflect the nature of God. Sometimes
we discern dogs point the way to a better relationship with God. And at still other times we recognise that our relationship with dogs is strikingly similar to our relationship with God. In a real sense, dogs truly are messengers of God.

Described as a picture book for adults, this work presents twenty comparisons between our relationship with dogs and our relationship with God. And as we think about each of the twenty comparisons, we start to realise that interacting with dogs enables us to catch tiny glimpses of God Himself

About the Author

Hi, I’m John.

I am a retired university academic, and spent my entire career as a teacher. A lifelong dog-lover, I cannot remember a time when I was not blessed with the companionship of a dog. I regard dog ownership as an honour, a privilege and a profound educational experience. I firmly believe that if we are willing to take advantage of the delightful learning opportunities provided, canine companionship can teach us a great deal about God and our relationship with Him.

In my view, it is quite possible that after reading this small book, and after reflecting on its big message, you will no longer look at the canine companions in your life in quite the same light as you do now.

A practising Christian, I am active in my local church community. I live in Melbourne, Australia with my wife, Molly, and our two canine companions and messengers of God, Dior and Sammy. I hope you enjoy reading my book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

The Spirit of the Antichrist is in the Church

The Word of God is the light to see and discern between the wolves and the sheep.

The Bible warns in second Thessalonians chapter 2:1-11 about the events surrounding the second coming of Christ that we are not to be shaken in mind or troubled in spirit but to be careful of deception. It details the deceit, the falling away, and the revelation of the lawless one.

It also mentions that the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. This mystery is the spirit of the antichrist cited in first John 4:1-6, manifested in opposing ideologies to the biblical worldview introduced into the church by persons, i.e., wolves in sheep’s clothing, who personify this spirit.
This book is meant to edify the body of Christ on how to discern the spirit of error and her schemes by emphasising the importance of the Word of God and His glory.

About the Author

Adeolu Obatayo is a reformed Christian and member of the Westminister Presbyterian Church Bull Creek, though a Nigeria born Australian, married with three children, and working as a General Practitioner in Western Australia. His most important qualification is being a Christ redeemed child of the most high God, who desires above all to love God with his whole heart, soul, mind and strength.
