Macon Author Christa Bell Releases Memoir on Faith, “Fingerprints of Jesus Throughout My Life”
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Christa Bell, an ordained minister and evangelist from Macon, Georgia, has published a new memoir, "Fingerprints of Jesus Throughout My Life," through Christian Faith Publishing.
The book recounts moments across Bell’s life when she says she recognized God’s presence alongside her, in what the author describes as both difficult and joyful periods. According to the book’s own description, the work is framed as a brief testimony rather than a full autobiography, built around the premise that believers are never alone in their struggles.
Bell’s path to ministry began in Dublin, Georgia, where she sang in church as a child before going on to serve as a preacher and evangelist. She spent years with the Spiritual Warriors of Macon and has remained active in prayer ministry, Bible study, and pastoral care, according to the announcement.
The book’s central argument, as described in its own synopsis, is that human sinfulness does not put a person beyond forgiveness, and that nothing separates a believer from what the author calls God’s unconditional love. The text also frames the afterlife as a choice between two destinations, heaven or hell, and urges readers toward what Bell describes as renewed hope.
"Through sharing my personal encounters with Jesus," Bell said in the announcement, "I pray readers will recognize His fingerprints in their own lives and find renewed courage to embrace His unwavering faithfulness, knowing they are loved beyond measure and never abandoned."
Readers can obtain the book from Christian Faith Publishing directly or through major bookselling platforms such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Apple iTunes.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, books like this one are a reminder that religious memoir remains a steady, if quiet, corner of independent publishing, built less on sales charts than on readers seeking their own experience reflected back at them.

Educator Brian Givens Publishes Parenting Guide Built Around Four Biblical Principles
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
With nearly two decades of experience in education—as a teacher, coach, and principal—Brian Givens brings firsthand knowledge to his new parenting book, has published a new book aimed at Christian parents, "Following Christ in the Chaos: 4 Biblical Principles for Parents," through Christian Faith Publishing.
At the heart of the work are four foundational principles abbreviated as TILT: Train with Trust, Imitate our King, Lead with Love, and Teach with Grace According to the publisher’s description, the book argues that raising children spiritually requires more than parenting techniques or quick fixes, and instead frames the work as a call for parents to deepen their own relationship with God first. Each of the four principles gets its own chapters addressing both personal spiritual practice and day-to-day parenting decisions, covering topics including how to read Scripture in context, how to approach prayer, how to handle discipline, and how to manage parental anxiety.
Structurally, the book includes what the publisher describes as "training mode" sections at the end of each chapter, pairing referenced Bible verses with reflection questions and a prayer response, plus an appendix of additional spiritual formation resources.
Givens draws on his own background for the book’s perspective: he’s married to Jana and is the father of two sons, Owen and Mitchell, and describes his years in school leadership as giving him a vantage point on how Christian families are navigating what the book characterizes as an increasingly overstimulating culture. "Your intimacy with God can impact not only your children but also generations of Christ followers to come," Givens said in a statement accompanying the release, adding that he wants the book to "awaken Christian moms and dads to pursue his presence personally."
The book is available through major booksellers and online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether Givens’s dual background in education and parenting gives this entry more staying power than the steady stream of faith-based parenting guides competing for the same readers.

Brian Givens’s New Book Offers Parents Four Biblical Principles for Raising Children Amid ‘Chaos’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Brian Givens, an educator with eighteen years of experience as a teacher, coach, and school principal, has published "Following Christ in the Chaos: 4 Biblical Principles for Parents," a book aimed at Christian parents navigating what the book describes as the overstimulation and competing demands of modern family life. It was published by Christian Faith Publishing in August 2026.
The publication structures its guidance using TILT—Train with Trust, Imitate our King, Lead with Love, and Teach with Grace—as its four core principles. According to the publisher’s description, the book is structured to address different parenting stages, from newborns to teenagers, and covers topics including reading Scripture in context, approaching prayer, disciplining children, and managing parental anxiety.
Each chapter reportedly pairs personal spiritual reflection with parenting application, closing with what the publisher calls a "training mode" section built around Bible verses, reflection questions, and a prayer response. An appendix adds further resources for spiritual formation, the publisher states.
Givens draws on his own family life as well as his career in education. He is married to Jana and has two sons, Owen and Mitchell. In the announcement, Givens said intimacy with God "can impact not only your children but also generations of Christ followers to come," and described the book as an attempt to push parents past surface-level techniques toward deeper discipleship.
"Following Christ in the Chaos" is available through major booksellers, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, and Google Play.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, books like this one speak to a steady market: parents looking for faith-based frameworks to counter what they see as the pressures of digital culture, rather than a single quick fix.
