Publishing and Blog Update. New Short Story!

 

"The Shepherd's Love"

New!



"The Shepherd's Love" is a brand new inspirational short story. It is based on Jesus' parable of the lost sheep.

Alef is a dedicated shepherd. Although he loves his young wife and each of the sheep in his care, he embarks on a potentially dangerous journey to rescue his missing ewe.

If you would like a brand new story and a chance to support the blog, you can buy it Here for just $0.99, or you can read it on Kindle.


Two E-Books



Cynthia's Confessions

A story of young love and lessons learned. Set in South Africa. Available as a profesional looking e-book once more. (No longer on the blog.)






Whispers of Wales

An historical romance with a touch of mystery. Set in Cape Town and Wales, it is loosely based on the author's own family research.

Also available once more as an e- book, and no longer on the blog.



About the Blog


Although I do have some books for sale, including poetry, short stories, as well as longer stories, I will always publish free to read short stories, thoughts, and poems on the blog as the Spirit leads.

Aside from these, God willing, I will also post gardening updates (on Basket of Hope, my new gardening blog,). 

As a writer, I have always dreamed of being a published author. Self-publishing has enabled me to achieve this. It is a wonderful feeling to see your books out there. :)

If you feel so led, you may help support the blog by purchasing a book. All books are available in e-book format. Longer stories and poetry volumes are also available in paperback.

Well, that's all for today.

If you are new here, a very big welcome. Please make yourself at home.

Whether you are new here or not, you will find many free encouraging reads to enjoy on your coffee or tea break. :)

Love and prayers,

Alison

The Conversation. A Free Short Story

  The Conversation  Gavin was so absorbed in his book, that he barely noticed that the train had stopped at a station. "Mind if I sit here?" He looked up. A young woman with friendly freckles across her nose and wide brown eyes stood in the aisle. He nodded, then smiled faintly and she quickly stowed her large backpack. "I'm Sybil." The young woman offered. "Thanks." "No problem. Travelling to Barton?"  "Nope. It's Dunmore I'm headed for. You?" "Same." Gavin was cautious. He wasn't sure he felt like a chatty companion. He'd been looking forward to finishing his book. It had hooked him from the first chapter. But thankfully, Sybil didn't bubble on. She just smiled before taking her own book out.  Gavin went back to his reading, not without noticing that it was a Bible that Sybil had opened. Unusual.   Sybil glanced towards him. She liked to study people, and would often strike up a conversation in the ho...

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

Poems, Photos, and a Glimpse of my Garden.

  Poems, Photos and a Glimpse of my Garden Rest of soul and peace of mind are hard for you  and me to find: Until we rest our  hearts in God; strength will falter, days grow hard A new day to pray, to love and give, A new day to serve, to work and praise, A new day to soak in Your precious peace I wish I could go back to all the happy days: to hold on to those moments, and sing a song of praise. Love and kindness I would bring, and serve the Lord much more. I truly wish it could be done through an old and hidden door. But since I cannot go back, to those sweet and bygone days, I'll give to Jesus all my heart so He can change my un-nice ways *** Copyright: pencil in His Hand *** St John's creeper New growth. (Not sure whether they are flowers or veg.) Protecting my carrots Paprika Looks like a chilli A good showing of coriander and some other herb. Swiss chard doing nicely My books
