Benjamin German’s New Collection, ‘The Pen of Ben,’ Explores Love Through Life’s Small Moments
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Benjamin German has released a new book, "The Pen of Ben," published through Christian Faith Publishing. The collection draws on scenes of romance and heartache, using what the publisher describes as a mix of real-life-inspired scenarios and imagined ones to look at moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
According to the announcement, the book’s throughline is that life brings setbacks as well as high points, but that love can hold up against both when approached with the right outlook. The publisher frames it as a meditation on perspective as much as a chronicle of relationships themselves.
German’s book joins a wave of titles released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors across genres to bring personal and faith-inflected projects to print.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the real interest here is in how a collection built on everyday emotional moments finds its audience, and whether German’s particular framing of love and perspective resonates beyond readers already drawn to faith-based publishing.

Benjamin German’s New Collection, “The Pen of Ben,” Blends Poetry and Prose on Love and Loss
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Benjamin German has published "The Pen of Ben," a 132-page collection of poetry and prose published through Christian Faith Publishing. The paperback, listed with the ISBN 9798903083459, became available earlier this year.
The book mixes verse and narrative to work through themes of romance, grief, and the small moments German’s publisher describes as easy to overlook. According to the announcement, the collection argues that difficulty and connection aren’t opposites so much as companions, and that a shift in perspective, toward intention and grace, is what allows love to hold up under strain.
German is described in the announcement as a private person who writes to encourage others, and who also talks about fitness and his own wellness transformation with fellow gym-goers outside of his writing. The collection represents his most authentic expression, using poetry and prose to confront loss and devotion directly without neat resolution.
"I wanted to create something that speaks to people where they are," German said in the announcement. "Whether through poetry or narrative, my goal is to show that our struggles don’t define us—our response to them does."
The book is available at bookstores and through Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees collections like this one as a reminder that small presses continue to give first-time and independent voices a path to print, even when the audience is modest and the marketing is thin.
