Why Babies Need Love

 

Why Love Matters and How to Know if You’re Getting it Right

WHY BABIES NEED LOVE is a must-read for first-time parents and caregivers of babies aged 0-3. Parenting is one of the hardest yet most rewarding journeys, and the early years play a crucial role in shaping a child’s emotional and mental well-being.

Written by a psychologist and parent, this book explains how a baby’s brain is still developing at birth and how early experiences—especially the bond with caregivers—affect future behavior, relationships, and resilience. It provides insight into how your own emotional struggles can influence your parenting and offers practical guidance to help you build a strong, loving connection with your baby.

With mental health concerns on the rise, this book empowers parents to create a secure foundation for their child’s future. If you want to raise a confident, emotionally healthy child while navigating the challenges of early parenthood, WHY BABIES NEED LOVE is the guide you need.

Invisible Scars Somalia

 

A true story of an Australian soldier living with the effects of PTSD

Africa, 1984: Al-Shabaab militants succeeded in smuggling weapons and equipment into Somalia from Ethiopia, unimpeded. The US President Ronald Reagan authorised a shadow team of international soldiers to spy on the movement of rebels and arms fl owing into Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital.

An Australian Regular Army soldier, together with two British military personnel, seconded by the US to join a CIA special agent and an Ethiopian female warrior to infi ltrate to Luuq, a rural town and staging area for Al-Shabaab rebels in Central Somalia, on a clandestine mission. Their call sign was ‘Delta One.’ Their secret and urgent mission was to observe the movement of rebel forces, their equipment, and ammunition, then report back directly to Langley. During the mission, the team needed to cover their own tracks in case the proverbial hit the fan.

Staying one step ahead of the rebels was easy, whilst racing against the clock, until the team wound up in a horrendous ambush against superior rebel forces.

For a nation, unaware of the effects combat has on its soldiers, life for the Australian soldier returning from Somalia became harder after discharge, as he battled the complexities of PTSD and alcoholism in civvy street. Haunted by the nightmares of his time in Africa and racked by guilt from driving his wife and family away. He discovers help at the Repatriation General Hospital, Psychiatric Ward 17, in Adelaide, South Australia.

However, there was another enemy at play. The lure of Soldier of Fortune work would set him in action again

Life Through Art

Revive creative freedom, heal from trauma and embody spiritual wisdom

You don’t need to be a technically good artist to use art as a vehicle for healing or self-realisation. All you need is your preferred art medium and a willingness to move across the page in whatever way you’re called.

In Life Through Art, Abigail shares the personal experiences that guided her to embody an art healing modality. That is, a method of visual art where the individual relinquishes the urge to control the outcome on the page in lieu of liberating what their intuition seeks to express. It is a stream of consciousness approach to artmaking which promotes healing benefits beyond the satisfaction of executing a particular image.

Through original art, poetry and incisive self-reflection, the author explores the connection between being creative, healing from trauma, and becoming more aware of the spiritual world. This is offered as a guide for how we can use art healing to flow into a more fulfilling path.

About the Author

 

RHEMA GORUCK, A PROPHETIC EVANGELIST writer, and spiritual guide with a deep commitment to exploring the transformative power of the Word. Born in a Hindu background, in Mauritius, a developing country in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Rhema began hearing the voice of the Lord at a very young age. She understood this divine presence as a close friend who guided her in prayer, particularly in interceding for others. She came to know the Lord personally at the age of 32, deepening her spiritual journey as she studied the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In 2009, following a divine calling inspired by Genesis 12, Rhema moved to Melbourne, Australia. There, she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry at Harvest Bible College and furthered her studies at Bethel School of Faith and Spiritual Ministry, where she cultivated her prophetic and spiritual gifts.

Her faith journey continued at Upper Room Church in Lara Vic, where she participated in prophetic workshops that deepened her understanding and practice ministry. In 2022, Rhema was commissioned and ordained as a prophetic evangelist by
the Lord God in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Rhema writes in the prophetic as the Lord guides her, with each word divinely inspired and directed by God. In “Spoken Word” she explores the power of words in shaping lives, offering readers a guide to harnessing this power in their daily lives. Whether addressing the significance of naming, the dynamics of blessing and cursing, or the role of worship as a lifestyle, her approach is accessible and deeply insightful.

Rhema resides in Melbourne, Australia, where she continues to write, teach, counsel and minister to those seeking deeper spiritual understanding and personal transformation.

Turning Pain Into Purpose

 

If you aren’t where you want to be, you haven’t become who you need to be

USE YOUR PAIN AS A CATALYST FOR SUCCESS.

Just as Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art, celebrates the beauty of mending broken pottery with gold, this book serves as a metaphor for life. It encourages us and illustrates how we can perceive the broken and fractured parts of ourselves – and others – as opportunities to infuse resilience, beauty, and character into our life’s journey.

Be empowered to overcome your challenges and uncover your true potential with the powerful 777 Pathway. Within these beautiful
pages, explore a guide that will assist you in dismantling the cycle of setbacks rooted in self-doubt and ingrained habits.

We are always just one decision away from a transformation, one decision away from forging a new path. Take action and choose to be the creator of your life rather than a victim of your circumstances. It’s time to decide what kind of life you want – and say no to everything that isn’t that.
