Weโve been working on a BIG revampโฆ
Itโs our new and improved website! ๐ Book searches are 2x quicker now, and thereโs a one-stop place to submit manuscripts and enquiries.
If you think we have missed something, drop us a message! All feedback is welcome ๐
What makes a book cover?
We focused on the idea that true positivity shines out of the Cross - what Jesus did for us.
Then, we reinstated that shine on the spine and back coverย for a more integrated look!
Truly Positive is available on multiple platforms, including our website and Amazon.

GOOD FRIDAY
We pause to contemplate an infinitely gracious sacrifice:
Jesus Christ, fully human and fully God.
The man who walked on water.
For loveโs sake, he took on our sin and shame,
and was put to death on the Cross.
May you have a blessed weekend of remembrance ๐๐
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. โ Isaiah 53:5
