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.

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.

Yvonne Joy’s New Novel Follows a Retired Headmaster’s Crisis of Faith and a Community’s Path to Renewal
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Author Yvonne Joy has released "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord," a Christian novel centered on a retired headmaster confronting a serious illness and the people who help him rebuild his sense of purpose. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows Bill, characterized as a respected retired headmaster and community leader who starts doubting his life’s significance as his health deteriorates. Jill Evans, a preacher in the story, enters his life aiming to offer him a renewed sense of faith and hope. A third central figure, a neighbor referred to as Prissy Miss, carries unresolved pain tied to Bill’s past actions and is caught between resentment and a desire to move past it.
per the source material, the three protagonists’ stories intertwine as they establish the Dense Forest Nature Interfaith Retreat, a community sanctuary that grows out of Bill’s effort, aided by municipal funding, to turn a neglected plot of land into a space for healing open to people of different faiths. Prissy Miss and Jill join him in the project, and the publisher describes their combined efforts as reshaping both their own lives and the wider community.
The publisher positions the novel as inspirational fiction built around themes of friendship, faith and forgiveness, intended to prompt readers to reflect on their own spiritual paths. "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord" is available through Amazon, Apple’s iTunes store, Barnes & Noble, and in traditional bookstores.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether the book’s interfaith retreat setting gives it a wider reach than typical genre fiction aimed at a strictly Christian readership.
