New Memoir “Sonflower” Traces Author BreAnna Nikohl Wofford’s Path From Spiritual Emptiness to Faith
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
BreAnna Nikohl Wofford has published a new memoir, "Sonflower," tracing what she describes as her journey from spiritual emptiness to a sustained, tested faith, according to the publisher’s announcement. The book is available through Christian Faith Publishing, in stores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
The memoir centers on Wofford’s personal accounts of prayer, what she describes as encounters with both divine and demonic forces, and her effort to hold to her faith through what the publisher frames as spiritual conflict. The memoir is presented as providing practical tools and approaches for addressing readers’ own spiritual challenges rather than just recounting Wofford’s own.
Wofford, 26, brings a background in psychology and her own experience with mental health challenges to the narrative, according to the announcement, which also describes her as an autistic woman writing from that vantage point. "I wrote this memoir to share how God transformed my life through spiritual awakening and to equip others with the understanding that spiritual warfare is real, tangible, and winnable," Wofford said in the announcement.
The publisher describes the memoir as blending humor with more unsettling passages, moving between what it calls moments of connection with the divine and disorienting encounters with darkness. It’s pitched as both a personal testimony and a practical resource for readers working through their own spiritual questions.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, memoirs built around lived mental health experience and faith are a crowded but persistent category in Christian publishing, and what will set this one apart is whether Wofford’s psychology background gives it more structure than the genre typically offers.

New Book Turns a Teenager’s 1980s Diary Into an Eight-Volume Chronicle
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Mark Forosisky and Charles Karson have published "The Journal: A Trip Through the 1980s," a book built from a diary Forosisky began keeping in 1980, when a move from Pennsylvania to Dallas upended his adolescence. The entry became a habit, and the habit grew into eight volumes covering late adolescence into adulthood, according to the authors.
The work maintains its original character without editorial refinement The published version retains the original handwritten entries, sketches, misspellings, and grammatical rough edges of a diary never intended for an audience, according to the announcement. The authors positioned their role as one of transcribing and preserving rather than revising, with added parody and satirical commentary layered on top of the source material.
The subject matter is ordinary by design: a young person’s day-to-day observations during a decade of significant cultural shift in the U.S. The authors say the appeal is in that ordinariness, arguing that the diary’s inconsistencies and randomness make it feel more genuine than a polished memoir would. "Resurrecting this compilation after nearly forty years has been extraordinarily rewarding," the authors said, adding that they hope readers recognize pieces of their own past in it.
The book is published through Newman Springs Publishing and is listed for sale in paperback, alongside digital editions through Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the format itself the more interesting story here: a journal that maintains its flaws rather than being edited for publication, is a different kind of bet on what readers actually want from a memoir.

New Memoir Traces a Nebraska Therapist’s Descent Into the Occult and Back
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Charlotte Stanton, a licensed mental health therapist based in Nebraska, has published a memoir describing her own experience with occult practices and what she describes as a return to Christian faith. The book, "The Battle for My Soul: A True Story of My Descent into the Occult and the Light That Broke Through Darkness," was published through Christian Faith Publishing.
According to the announcement, Stanton’s story begins with what she describes as an innocent curiosity about the unseen world, pursued through tools including Ouija boards, EVP recordings and spirit boxes. The publisher’s description says that curiosity gradually became something she could neither explain nor control, describing an escalating period of fear, disrupted sleep and intrusive thoughts that she characterizes as spiritual deception.
Stanton has worked as a licensed therapist and business owner for more than thirteen years, according to the announcement, which frames that professional background as part of what allows her to describe her experience with particular clarity. The material also notes her interest in painting and other creative work. Her turn toward Christianity, the announcement states, dates to 2020, which she describes as the point at which she says she surrendered her life to Christ after years of what she calls searching for answers in other spiritual practices.
"This book is my testimony that God’s mercy reaches into every corner of our despair, no matter how far we’ve wandered or how trapped we feel," Stanton said in the announcement. "My prayer is that readers will see both the reality of spiritual deception and the power of God’s redemptive love."
The publisher describes the book as an account of spiritual warfare and the process of surrender that follows it, aimed at readers who have grappled with similar doubt or fear. It is available through Christian Faith Publishing’s website, as well as Amazon, Apple, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.
Memoirs built around occult practice and religious conversion are a familiar shape in Christian publishing, but Stanton’s clinical background gives this one a distinct angle worth watching for readers interested in how she squares her professional training with the spiritual framework she now uses to explain her experience.
