John Keck’s New Book, “The Sum of My Works,” Follows Two Brothers Who Drift Apart While Navigating the Shifting Landscape of the Late 20th Century in America
Keck writes, “‘Things roll downhill, energy dissipates, disorder increases. Things wear out, break, fall apart.’ Jimmy Doyle describes his life as a mechanic in these terms, but these hard truths better describe the thirty-year story of the Doyle brothers as told in ‘The Sum of My Works.’ On the eve of the Cuban Missile crisis, the lives of Jimmy and Patrick Doyle are shattered as surely as if the button had been pushed. Together and apart, the brothers experience the fear and uncertainty of intergenerational trauma, the justice system, incarceration, and the Vietnam War as well as the heady 1960s counterculture, the anti-war movement, exile, wilderness, and survival against overwhelming odds. Through it all, the brothers search for the human connections they’ve lost, as they struggle against the inexorable forces arrayed against them until they must face yet another personal apocalypse—and betrayal of their brotherhood.”
Published by Fulton Books, John Keck’s book is a poignant and character-driven tale that will take readers on an unforgettable journey, as they witness the way in which life tears brothers Jimmy and Patrick apart, setting them on different courses as they work to overcome their struggles and endure their personal trials. Thought-provoking and expertly paced, Keck weaves a compelling novel that is sure to leave readers spellbound and remain with them long after its conclusion.
Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase “The Sum of My Works” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Torika Adikubou has published a new book, "Be My Witness: Chosen Faithful," a 266-page work that positions the reader’s life as a musical composition ready to resonate. The book, released through Christian Faith Publishing on February 4, 2026, is available in paperback and digital editions at major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play and the Apple iTunes Store.
Adikubou grew up in Fiji, raised alongside three brothers whose influence, she has said, shaped the boldness that runs through her writing. According to the announcement, that upbringing — split between the country’s beaches, an interest in baking, and time spent outdoors — informs the book’s central claim: that an individual’s lived experience serves as a witness to those in their community, whether they intend it to or not.
The book argues that people possess an innate identity and power they have yet to fully embrace, and walks through reflective passages meant to help them recognize dormant ambitions and move past fear toward what the author calls their "predetermined destiny." It falls within the inspirational nonfiction category, aimed at readers looking to close the distance between what they believe they’re called to do and how they’re actually living.
"I believe every individual holds within them a symphony prepared to be performed," Adikubou said in the announcement. "I wrote ‘Be My Witness’ to awaken that recognition in others — to help them see their life as both a personal masterpiece and a radiant testimony to those around them."
The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing. Readers can find purchasing details through the publisher’s website or at bookstores carrying the title.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Adikubou’s central premise — that our lives operate as unwitting testimony regardless of intention — arrives at a crucial moment in inspirational publishing. The genre has long emphasized personal transformation and individual potential, but rarely does it lean as deliberately into the communal dimension: the idea that self-actualization isn’t merely personal gain but a witnessed act with ripple effects. This reframing matters because it repositions the reader’s stakes. You’re not just claiming your power for yourself; you’re acknowledging that your choices cascade into others’ perceptions of what’s possible. In a landscape saturated with books promising self-discovery, Adikubou’s insistence that authenticity functions as public witness offers something fresh — a moral weight to the familiar call toward wholeness, reminding readers that becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t solitary work.

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
John M. Killion, holds ministerial credentials from the Assemblies of God, has published a memoir detailing his descent into drug addiction and what he describes as encounters with demonic influence, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book, "Demons, Drugs, Darkness, and Deliverance: The True Story of One Man’s Journey Through the Darkness and the Power of a Mother’s Prayers," is out now through Christian Faith Publishing.
The memoir details experiences including substance trafficking, violent incidents, and death threats from his addiction period, per the announcement, before tracing his journey toward healing via spiritual intervention and maternal intercession. Killion holds degrees from Purdue University Calumet and has worked as a worship leader, lay pastor, youth pastor and evangelist, according to the publisher.
"My prayer is that readers will understand that regardless of how deep into darkness someone has fallen, there is always hope, healing, and a way out," Killion said in the announcement. "God’s love and power to deliver are greater than any addiction or demonic stronghold, and I want everyone struggling in darkness to know that freedom is possible."
The book is targets those personally battling addiction as well as family members of those affected, the publisher states. It’s available through bookstores and major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Christian Faith Publishing’s website.
Christian Faith Publishing is a faith-based self-publishing imprint that releases author memoirs and inspirational titles on a regular basis; how this particular book performs relative to the imprint’s broader catalog isn’t addressed in the announcement.
Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective
At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize this memoir’s value extends beyond the typical publishing announcement—it’s positioned as a tangible lifeline for a vulnerable audience. For those in active addiction or supporting someone through recovery, Killion’s specific account of substance trafficking, violence, and the role of maternal prayer offers a roadmap from personal experience rather than clinical abstraction. The accessibility of his story across multiple platforms matters because someone struggling with addiction may encounter this book at their moment of readiness—whether through a recommendation from a recovery group, a family member’s desperate search for hope, or a solo late-night browse. What makes this resource distinct is its dual focus: it validates the spiritual dimensions some people experience in their darkest moments while simultaneously offering concrete evidence that someone who lived through trafficking and death threats found a way forward. For families watching loved ones spiral, the emphasis on intercessory prayer provides a specific action they can take when traditional interventions feel exhausted.
