Dear Dernier Friends,
There’s so much to tell you about this month!
Joy 1 – Fan Mail!
How heart-warming is this? We love it when readers take the time to write to us – in this case, all the way from the US! Thank you Sarah, for taking the time to write. We’re so glad you enjoyed the story!
Joy 2 – Translation Rights
We have teemed up with a wonderful organisation, Riggins Rights, who will now be offering the rights of our books in other languages/regions of the world. We are so grateful to the team for taking Dernier on to their books. Please pray that this will mean more children, for whom English may not be their first language, will have access to these life-changing books. Thank you!
Joy 3 – 3 for 2 on Year 0033
Isn’t it so exciting to see what the Lord is doing among our young people right now? There seems to be a genuine search for God among Gen Z. The Lord is drawing them to himself! With this in mind, we decided to put Year 0033 on offer (3 for 2), so you can be a blessing to 3 girls you know (and we include free bookmarks!). Click here to order.
Here’s the blurb from the back of the book:
Chella has lived the whole of her life in Area IF208, one of many Areas set up by a new World Council after war, famine and plague cause global devastation.
Religion is banned, supposedly for the sake of world peace, so Chella has to keep her Christian faith a secret.
But when her best friend disappears, her fiancé is arrested, and astonishing rumours of people living Outside surface, a new chapter in her life begins.
Chella is an unlikely heroine, battling a troubled past, a dangerous present and an uncertain future.
“Shine your light into our darkness, Lord, and by your graceprotect and deliver us from all evil this night; in the name of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, we pray.”
Never has Chella needed to pray this prayer as much as she needs to pray it now.
She has no idea how much is at stake.
“A breathlessly good read!” – Daisy
“I read this book in just a few sittings because my heart was in my mouth.” – Catherine
“I enjoyed it so much that the only time I stopped reading was to eat.” – Elissa
——
The offer runs for the whole of May. It’s the perfect book for post-exam relaxation, so a good excuse for a gift. 🙂
N. B. If you are buying for end of year gifts and prizes, check out the Churches tab on our website.
Joy 4 – Children’s Writing Competition
What a joy it has been to read the entries for our first ever children’s writing competition! So much imagination and fun exuded from the pages. The judges sat down together this week, to make the final decision on the winners… watch this space!
Joy 5 – Serving YOU
I can not tell you how much we love serving you and the children/young people on your heart. Most of the books we will never know where they go, or how much impact they have, but we pray for every single reader, of every book, whether they are in your family, your church or your community.
We are all concerned for the spiritual wellbeing of our precious children. They are the church of today and the church of tomorrow – and we know your gifts will sow seeds in those you love. It is truly a joy to serve you.
