Written Off by Lisa Phillips

In Written Off: The Journey Begins, Lisa Phillips shares her raw and redemptive story of parental rejection, identity loss, and spiritual healing. From her parents’ divorce in childhood to the heartbreaking emotional invalidation and gaslighting by her mother, Lisa navigates through layers of trauma that steal autonomy, joy, and self-worth. Yet amid the pain, something stirs within her spirit — a whisper of hope rooted in faith. The book traces three generations of mothers and daughters and explores what it means to be “written off” by those who were meant to bless you. With biblical reflection, courageous vulnerability, and soul-deep insight, Lisa offers readers more than a memoir — she offers a mirror. This is a story for anyone who’s experienced rejection or neglect and longs to be seen, known, and restored.

The Door to Time: The Time Machine Is Within You

About The Door to Time: The Time Machine Is Within You:

What if time were not just hours ticking away, but a living map—layers of memory and experience you can step into and reshape?

The Door to Time is an invitation to rediscover those hidden doors you already carry within you: a melody that won’t let go, a scent that suddenly brings you back, a gesture, a place that feels charged with meaning. These everyday details can open into new ways of seeing yourself and your past. Through music, fragrances, light, places and dreams, time stops being a straight line. It becomes a landscape where healing, resilience, and change are possible.

This book speaks to anyone who has felt lost after life’s hardest blows—those living with grief, anxiety, or the weight of old memories. It shows how to use memory not as a burden, but as a resource to face the present with greater calm and strength.

Clear, poetic, and deeply human, The Door to Time offers readers a quiet companion for transformation.

Regular price: $4.99 – occasionally available for free promotions.

Life at Daniel’s Place

About Life at Daniel’s Place:

After years of living with guilt and shame, a young mother discovers hope, serenity, and even laughter in the cemetery where her son is buried.

Finding a quiet place to walk, think, write, and pray invigorates the soul, and in this memoir, author Alice J. Wisler navigates her relationship with the cemetery where her son Daniel is buried. At first, Alice hates the cemetery because it symbolizes her son’s death. Over the years, the location, fondly called Daniel’s Place, becomes one of beauty and hope, her simple quiet place where she learns from geese, epitaphs, and flowers. These reflections remind us that as we draw near to God, we can adapt and adjust to the traumas of life, and even find the gift of gratitude.

Life at Daniel’s Place is only 99 cents from August 31 to September 7, 2025 at Amazon!

वक़्त की लहरें: एक भावनात्मक काव्य यात्रा…

About वक़्त की लहरें: एक भावनात्मक काव्य यात्रा…:

“वक़्त की लहरें” केवल कविताओं का संग्रह नहीं, बल्कि मेरे जीवन की उन अनकही भावनाओं की मौन अभिव्यक्ति है, जो कभी समय की धारा में बह गईं, तो कभी दिल के किसी कोने में स्थायी रूप से बस गईं। यह संग्रह उन लम्हों का दस्तावेज़ है, जो कभी शब्दों में ढल न सके, पर आत्मा ने उन्हें पूरी शिद्दत से जिया।
हर कविता, हर पंक्ति, किसी न किसी एहसास की लहर से जन्मी है, जैसे जीवन के किसी मोड़ पर कोई भाव अचानक दिल से टकरा गया हो। यह संग्रह उन लहरों की गूंज है, जो समय, स्मृति, प्रेम, विरह और आशा के बीच बहती रही हैं।
इससे पूर्व मेरी दो पुस्तकें प्रकाशित हो चुकी हैं:
• “गाँव की मिट्टी से कैलिफ़ोर्निया तक: एक किसान पुत्र की प्रेरणादायक आत्मकथा” – जो मेरे जीवन की संघर्षपूर्ण यात्रा और उपलब्धियों की सच्ची कहानी है।
• “विंग्स इन द स्काई: अ जर्नी टू सिलिकॉन ड्रीम्स” – इसका अंग्रेज़ी संस्करण, जिसे अंतर्राष्ट्रीय पाठकों का भरपूर स्नेह मिला।
उन पुस्तकों में जहाँ मैंने अपने अनुभवों को तथ्यों और स्मृतियों के रूप में साझा किया, वहीं “वक़्त की लहरें” में वे भावनाएँ हैं जो शब्दों से पहले मन में आईं, जो खामोशी में कही गईं, और जो कभी लिखी नहीं गईं – बस महसूस की गईं।
यह काव्य संग्रह उन सभी पाठकों के लिए है, जो कभी अकेले बैठे वक़्त को निहारते हैं, जो बीते पलों को अपनी पलकों में संजोए हुए हैं, या जो आज भी किसी अधूरी बात को महसूस कर सकते हैं।
