Katie Willis’s New Poetry Collection “Hidden Hallelujahs” Finds Faith in Ordinary Moments
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Katie Willis has released a new poetry collection, "Hidden Hallelujahs," a 72-page book that locates expressions of faith in the routines of daily life rather than in formal worship settings. The book, published through Christian Faith Publishing, came out earlier this year and runs 72 pages, according to publishing listings.
The collection centers on what the announcement describes as the "Monday-Saturday mundane" — parking lots, kitchen floors, lunch breaks, bedtime routines — as settings where the author locates moments of spiritual significance. Willis, who works as a poet, mother, teacher and artist, writes from that vantage point rather than from a position of settled certainty. The announcement describes her as someone "still learning" to notice grace amid the demands of family and working life.
"I write as someone still learning to notice God’s grace in everyday moments," Willis said in the announcement. "These poems emerged from the messy, beautiful reality of life as a wife, mother, and working artist. If my words help even one person feel truly seen by their Heavenly Father, then everything has been worth it."
The publisher describes the collection as addressing themes of divine presence, unseen struggle, and what it calls the redemptive power of recognizing God’s work in real time. It’s aimed, per the announcement, at readers who feel overwhelmed or unseen in their day-to-day circumstances.
The book joins a recognizable lane in contemporary Christian publishing: devotional writing that locates faith in ordinary routine rather than in church settings specifically. Other recent titles have taken a similar tack, treating daily tasks and waiting periods as material for spiritual reflection rather than obstacles to it. "Hidden Hallelujahs" is available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a broader current in faith-based publishing right now — poetry and devotional writing pitched less at doctrine and more at the exhausted, distracted reader looking for permission to call an ordinary Tuesday sacred.

Author Lisa Doucette has published "Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!", a children’s book drawn from a painful memory of her own childhood, through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows a young girl named Lisa who climbs onto a tire swing expecting an afternoon of fun. A fall and a cruel remark from another child instead leave her confused and hurt. With her sister’s help and her faith, she works through the experience and arrives at forgiveness.
Doucette is a wife, teacher, and mother of two sons who has said she experienced the incident firsthand as a child. "I experienced this hurtful event as a child, and rewriting this story with a redemptive ending has allowed me to truly forgive," she said in the announcement. "I believe that forgiveness is the way to heal, and I hope this book helps other children understand that truth."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of empathy, agency, and choosing one’s response to cruelty rather than controlling it. The publisher describes it as a tool for helping children navigate hurt and process it through kindness rather than retaliation.
"Fatty, You Broke My Tire Swing!" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees value in children’s books that work from a real, specific memory rather than an invented scenario — that specificity is often what makes a book like this land with young readers rather than read as a generic moral lesson.

Christian Faith Publishing Releases Pamela B. Craig’s “Tears and a Tiara,” a Family Memoir of Childhood Cancer and Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Pamela B. Craig has released "Tears and a Tiara: A Testimony of Faith, Hope, and Love," a memoir recounting her family’s experience after her child was diagnosed with cancer, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The announcement describes a family life upended by a diagnosis no parent expects to hear, and a narrative that follows the family through what the publisher calls heartache toward spiritual transformation. Craig frames the ordeal as a test of faith rather than only a medical crisis, according to the announcement, with the book positioned as both a personal testimony and an account meant to speak to readers facing their own hardship.
The title itself, pairing "tears" with "tiara," points to the book’s central tension: suffering alongside something the publisher’s description treats as a mark of grace or honor, a framing common in faith-based memoirs that cast a family’s hardest season as also a season of spiritual meaning.
Craig’s memoir joins a steady stream of personal narratives released through Christian Faith Publishing, which works with authors to bring faith-centered stories, often rooted in illness, loss, or caregiving, to print.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a durable category of faith-based memoir: narrow in audience, but consistently in demand among readers looking for first-person accounts of hardship read through a spiritual lens.
