Broken Dreams, and Hope! Now available on Amazon!!
A few reviews of the book we launched yesterday. So thrilled it is encouraging people!
“Small confession to make… I just finished reading your book! Finished in a day which is very unusual for me. A real page turner!”
“I read your book last night, it took a little over an hour. It was so good! Each chapter flowed into the next making it hard to put down.”
“Very good, Andy, I’m so very proud and honoured that I can hand this book out knowing I know this family.”
“Letting a person who doesn’t realize that pain and suffering is apart of this life and not something uncommon makes it easier knowing your not alone – life is indeed messy. “
“I love the way you spoke of hurt and abuse but never going into details that would have robbed the reader of their own inward pains and ability to take hold of the Lord’s extended hand – the hand that will never let go.“

Got my first direct message review of my book released today. Somebody bought it and read it in a day, which is something they said they didn't usually do. So that's made my evening 🙂 They said it is a real page turner and encouraging. Awesome!
After a day when nothing felt like it was going smoothly, that has warmed my heart quite a bit

Managed to publish my book today, Broken Dreams, and Hope!
1 minor error on the rear cover was picked up, so I'm still waiting for it to be published, but the eBook version is now available and I was super encouraged to see that selling already which made my day!
I've also had some lovely compliments from people who have already started reading it, and are loving it.
One good friend in the US has thought that they'd like to hold a number of the paperback versions with them - of my book (not something I thought I'd ever say) - to hand out to the homeless people she meets, with a bag of nuts, or raisins or similar.
And I've just finished the first edit of my next book, due out in May. 35,000 words, nearly 200 pages, of properly formatted and adapted writing, and made ready for a detailed edit from @TakeN who's proof reading skills are second to none!

It doesn't matter how humbly you receive advice if with all your pride you will do your own will. Stay still and trust what He is saying ❤️

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Be Led, Not Driven! S04 E053
While chatting with a friend this morning, I was struck by the ease with which we can be driven along by life, when we really should be resisting that pressure, and being led instead.
Sure, there can be life issues which pop up in front of us, which we quickly need to deal with, dropping everything in order to do so. There is a rush or life that we need to pay attention to.
However, we should be led not driven, most of the time.
Not one person on the planet enjoys being forced to do something they don’t want to do. If we’re driven to something, then it is not something that tends to be a positive experience.
But, if we can be led somewhere, we are far more likely to enjoy the journey, the experience, and the outcome. [READ MORE]

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Tuck and Roll, Season 4, Episode 52
With life it often seems like we have just two choices to make - wrap ourselves in plastic bubble wrap to protect us from falls and pain. Or we can wear a crash helmet and keep charging on!
Actually, I think there is a third option – a little bit of bubble wrap, a crash helmet, and some time planning out what is in front of us.
There’s always gonna be stuff that knocks us for six! However, more frequently if we’d simply taken a pause before charging along, we could have spotted the issues, or busyness, and figured out a better plan or route!

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Look Back, But Don't Fall Over!, Season 4, Episode 51
It’s really healthy to look back at what we’ve accomplished. It’s good to remember what we’ve done, or how we tried to do something last time.
It’s great to reflect on where we’ve done amazing things, and even not so amazing things. It can even be healthy to remember the foolish things we did and managed to escape serious injury.
However, if we look back too long, we end up risking falling over. Because we’re still walking forwards at the time!
Just a thought…

Andy B’s first book, Broken Dreams, and Hope!
Broken dreams happen to all of us.
It can be as simple as looking forward to a cup of tea when we get home from work, only to find you forgot to buy some milk.
It can be waking up to a letter that has been pushed through your door over night telling you that you have just 2 months to find a new house to live in, when you know there is no way you can afford to move (we’ve had that happen, more than once).
Broken dreams can be a spouse filing for divorce or losing your job through redundancy when you’ve just taken on a mortgage.
“I want you to know that no matter what you are going through, whoever you are, irrespective of what you have done, there is a Hope that can overcome all of those things.” - Andy B
We all have dreams, and they vary from person to person, and with the different seasons of our lives.

A quote from S. Wigglesworth
"We should be able under all circumstances to triumph.
Not that we have any help in ourselves, but our help comes only from God, and if our help is only in God then we are always strong and never weak.
It is always those people who are full of faith who have a “good report,” who never murmur, who are in the place of victory, who are not in the place of human order, but of divine order in God.
He is the Author of our faith, and our faith is always based on “thus saith the Lord.”

Lord Jesus,
How faithful you are! You are good even when we are not!
In these days of instability, help us remember that You are the God who "makes a way through the sea, and a path through the mighty waters." (Isaiah 43:1). You are the God who delivered Israel from tyrants when they were unarmed and enslaved. You fed them in the desert when there was no supply chain. You gave them water from a rock when their resources dried up. You are the God who "makes wars to cease to the end of the earth." (Psalm 46:9). And You command us to "Cease striving and know that I am God;" (Psalm 46:10).
Today, Jesus, we give You our worries and fears. We give You our anger. We give you our future. We rest in Your promises, especially that You will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6). We claim the attitude of the righteous man in Psalm 112 who "does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD."
Command victories for Jacob (Your children), O Lord! (Psalm 44:4).

I got a prayer request today originally from a Finnish brother (Risto) about the war in Ukraine. The following is my translation (and I've added those in parentheses):
"The Russian troops have started to deport Ukrainians to Russia from the areas they have conquered. This same thing happened also during the Finnish Winter War (against Sovietunion), when the Finnish warprisoners were deported to Siberia (into labour/concentration camps).
Only God can stop this. Let us pray that God will intervene and stop this, and also that only God's will will happen in the Ukranian war and not the will of the rulers of this world."
I found a link about how Ukrainians are being deported to Russia:

Hello Andy, Once again, praising the Lord for bringing this book to completion and for His Glory!!! It is no coincidence that you have written this book for the hour in which we live! In response to your message, may I remind you of what you already know well, that the Lord gave you the rich life experience as well as the words and the vision for this book to reach, encourage, strengthen and transform many hearts and souls with the Hope of Glory that is found only in Christ Jesus our Lord! And so, I pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare the minds and hearts of those whom He will reach through this book. I pray that it will have exponential outreach in transforming souls for the Kingdom of God. We don't need large selling numbers (I hope you agree) we need transformed hearts and lives, one by one, beginning with us.
Congratulations once again on the book's completion! I am excited for how the Lord will use it to transform many hearts and bring glory to His name!!!
These are wise words on the reason why we pray - from my good friend Andy Brown, and his brilliant book "A Journey With Jesus - 40 Day Devotional".
A great way to make sure I don't jump too fast into a busy day is to take some time out, first! Wisdom I learned a long time ago - because the busiest days need gaps for air!!!
