God's Light Shining in Darkness

Biblical Fasting: When Hunger Becomes Prayer invites believers to rediscover fasting as more than simply going without food. Rooted deeply in Scripture, this book explores fasting as a posture of humility, longing, repentance, dependence, and wholehearted pursuit of God.

With biblical teaching, practical guidance, pastoral safeguards, reflection questions, and guided fasting plans, it equips individuals and churches to fast with wisdom, sincerity, and faith—allowing physical hunger to become a deeper prayer for the presence and purposes of God.

The Evil of Gossip and Accusation is a deeply biblical and pastorally practical examination of one of the most destructive forces in human relationships and church communities. This book explores the spiritual origins of accusation, the hidden roots that fuel gossip, and the devastating consequences of careless, malicious, or unverified speech.

With clarity and compassion, Lionel van der Merwe shows how believers can recognise destructive patterns, respond to accusations with wisdom, pursue repentance and reconciliation, and cultivate speech that is truthful, gracious, and life-giving. The book also carefully distinguishes sinful gossip from responsible disclosure, safeguarding, accountability, and biblical testimony.

This is an essential resource for individuals, families, leaders, and churches seeking to protect unity, restore trust, and honour Christ in the way they speak about others.
