Author's Corner: Interviews about the Latest Christian Books

Strong to the End - with Alicia Lloyd

In an interview that hits close to home this week, Roberta talks to Alicia Lloyd about the new book Strong to the End: The Simple Service and Sudden Sacrifice of the Martyrs in Haiti, available from Moody publishers. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 The world reeled. And wept. Our hearts tried to absorb the shockwaves. To make sense of the madness. The peace of a Haitian children’s home and school shattered with cries and fire. And blood. Three beautiful servant hearts murdered . . . brutally. Judes, Davy, and Natalie joined the ranks of that grand company of martyrs in May 2024. When David and Alicia Lloyd opened a children’s home in Haiti, they had no idea how their hearts would soar, humbled by the way God was expanding and blessing the ministry. And they had no idea how much it would cost—their son, his young wife, and their dear friend. Strong to the End tells the story of Davy, Natalie, and Judes—their lives, dreams, love, faith, and deaths. It tells the story of Haiti, a beautiful land besieged by natural disasters, poverty, and gang violence. And it asks the hard questions of the Christian life. * What does it mean to count the cost before you know the price? * What are moral, ethical, and spiritual dynamics in modern missions? * When should you protect yourself and your family? * How do you love those bent on persecuting you? * Is Jesus really worth living—and dying—for? With the bodies of their loved ones in the ground, these questions were raised in their hearts. This book invites readers to weep, wrestle, rejoice . . . and draw courage from the faithful.

Stronger than the Storm, by Deena Adams

A family’s reckoning. Beth Holbrook has spent years building a life centered on faith and family. As a pastor’s wife, mother of three, and respected parenting coach, she’s devoted herself to helping families raise godly children. Now, with a publishing contract within reach, Beth stands on the verge of realizing a lifelong dream. Then her daughter runs away. Eighteen-year-old Leesa is tired of living under expectations she feels she can never meet. One impulsive decision sends her fleeing to Myrtle Beach, determined to take control of her life. But when she returns home weeks later with shocking news, the fragile peace inside the Holbrook family fractures. As tensions rise, Beth struggles with growing conflict in her marriage, painful criticism from her mother, and the crushing realization that the advice she’s given other parents may not save her own family.

For Those Who Doubt: Is It Because of Jesus? by Pedro Garcia

Today, Roberta talks to Pedro Garcia about his new book For Those Who Doubt: Is It Because of Jesus?, available from D6 Family Ministry publishers. Are you doubting or deconstructing your Christian faith? Is it making you feel alone, lost, and isolated? Would you like to reignite your faith in Jesus but don't know how? Doubt touches every believer, yet for many today, these honest questions grow into a season of deconstruction. What starts as uncertainty often evolves into a crisis of belief, leaving many feeling stranded, without answers, and separated from the community they once knew. If you—or someone you love—are wrestling with fragile faith, For Those Who Doubt: Is It Because of Jesus? is written for you.  This book offers a lifeline of hope and clarity, walking with you through your questions like a trusted friend. Author Pedro R. García combines the heart of a pastor with the clarity of a teacher to address the confusion of doubt.
