Hard Truth: Growing out of Adversity, tells the remarkable story of
the author's journey towards healing and resilience. Having lost
her father during her childhood the author retraces her earliest
memories of growing up in the idyllic setting of Barbados. While
happy and securely attached to her parents she experienced poverty.
Her mother's decision to emigrate to England to find a new life for
her family increased the sense of loss she suffered during her most
formative years. Ince-Greenaway's explanation of her experiences of
arriving in England during the Windrush years demonstrates the
enduring impact of discrimination and racism she faced in the
community where she lived and during her education. The Christian
values she was taught by her mother during her childhood became the
backdrop for her resilience as she faced the death of her husband
who was the second Black police officer in the Metropolitan Police.
She tells of the trauma that resulted from his death. As she
grieved the loss of her husband, she had the bitter-sweet
experience of accepting the gift of his son one week after his
death. As the author transitioned to becoming a single parent, she
fought against the odds to hold onto life in the middle of a
frightening, devastating and life-threatening experience. Told
through Christian lenses, the author describes the moments that
drastically changed and shaped her life as well as the values that
sustained her through a bitter experience. Hard Truth is a dynamic
and compelling story that will inspire readers. It is a story that
is personalised, educational and inspirational no matter where
people are on their journey. It is empowering and a relatable story
of triumph over adversity, progress over brokenness and success
over misfortune. Hard Truth intensifies the importance of
self-refection and personal empowerment. It is written for
audiences everywhere and for people of all ages.

The God of All Comfort is an inspiring manual of faith by Hannah
Whitall Smith, who was one of the leading authors of Christian
advice in the late nineteenth century. Smith, having lived and
witnessed a life of supreme faith to God, writes her account of the
principles of the Lord and Jesus Christ. Her aim is to inspire
Christians who may be doubting their faith, as well as those who
need guidance through crises or struggles in life. With a close
reading of the Bible, Whitall Smith is able to demonstrate the
sublime comfort and serenity which the Lord God can dispense
through His love. Blessed with a gift for words and eloquent turns
of phrase, Hannah Whitall Smith places both her faith and her
affinity for language front and center in this book. For many years
this book has been consulted as a sublime manual of true Christian
advice, notable for the greathearted way in which lessons on how to
live and take joy as a follower of God are dispensed.
