Welcome, Conor. I really appreciate your comments. Jump in any time and comment on what God is doing, or teaching you. It will help others who are going through the same thing. We’re here for each other : )
just finished Crucible Heart, loaned by a friend, enjoyed it very much–good messages throughout and appreciated all of that. Thanks, God Bless. Ginny
Thank you, Ginny. How kind of you to hunt down my site to tell me.
Dear Diana,
You know what, am visiting your website for the first time.
Am encouraged by the article of David – that God blessed what was already in David after he had been anointed by Prophet Samuel. For me this is a revelation! Be blessed
Beatrice,
Thank you for taking time to comment. There is always more revelation. Ask God to take that message and open it up even more for you. If it speaks to you, it belongs to you.
I’m glad I found this site. I find it helpful. God tends to speak to me through things I read. Am glad I found it

Diana, continue evangelizing the global village through your website. May the Glory of God continue shining upon you
Dear Diana,I hope this note finds you well. I recently came across your Jenna Series, and I wanted to reach out ;the way Crucible Heart is resonating with Christian fiction readers who are drawn to stories of real struggle and hard-won redemption really stood out to me. It’s clear you’ve built something that speaks directly to readers looking for faith woven into flawed, human lives rather than tidy answers.Crucible Heart introduces us to Jenna Johnson, who has just served two years in prison after killing a child while texting and driving. Crushed by guilt to the point of suicidal despair, Jenna’s life begins to shift when she meets Jess, whose quiet insistence that God can fix anything slowly wears down the walls Jenna has built around herself. But the path to redemption isn’t simple or linear just as Jenna begins to grasp the truth of what she’s learning, her hard-won progress is shattered by a devastating turn of events, leaving her newfound faith as the only thing that can pull her back from self-destruction. It’s a raw, emotionally honest entry into Christian romance, one that doesn’t shy away from guilt, grief, and the slow work of grace.Right now, the book holds a 4.8-star average with reviews reflecting deep, positive engagement; a strong signal that the readers who find it aren’t just buying it, they’re connecting with it. That kind of rating, paired with the specificity of its Christian romance/redemption arc, tells me this book has found a genuinely devoted audience rather than a broad, casual one. Readers in this space tend to be loyal and vocal: they follow Christian fiction blogs and review sites closely, participate in Goodreads groups built around faith-based and inspirational romance, and increasingly discover new titles through BookTok and BookTube creators who specialize in Christian and inspirational fiction. Word of mouth carries real weight here too, often moving through church reading groups, devotional communities, and faith-based Facebook and TikTok circles, spaces where your own presence on TikTok and Facebook already gives you a natural foothold.This is where I see real opportunity for Crucible Heart. I’d love to help build out the kind of visibility this book deserves by deepening engagement around it on both Amazon and Goodreads, so readers landing on the page see the same warmth and connection the story itself creates. There’s also meaningful room to sharpen how the book is positioned across its relevant categories and keywords within Christian fiction and Christian romance, making sure it surfaces in front of readers actively searching for stories like Jenna’s rather than getting buried under broader inspirational titles. And because so much of this audience discovers books through trusted recommendations, I’d want to build thoughtful outreach to bloggers, BookTokers, BookTubers, and podcasters who already speak to Christian fiction readers; creators whose endorsement carries real weight with the exact community this book was written for.At its core, Crucible Heart is a story about the long, uneven road between guilt and grace, and that authenticity is exactly why it’s resonating so deeply with the readers who’ve already found it. The audience is there, engaged, and clearly hungry for more of Jenna’s journey;the opportunity now is simply making sure the book keeps finding its way into their hands.If you’re ever open to discussing ways to grow that visibility further, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
