Books
Joanna’s latest book, It’s All About the Light: How to Find God in Tough Times, contains six tried and tested principles for finding God in challenging situations.
Packed with Biblical wisdom, practical guidance, real life illustrations, and questions for reflection or discussion, it can be enjoyed by individuals, small groups, and people who want to read it in twos or threes.
As you consider how to listen, lean in, let go, solidify, glorify and testify, you will be challenged, inspired and encouraged to make wise choices when you face tough times.
Available for pre-order now, this book will be shipped when it’s published in April 2026.
Joanna’s first book, Light through the Cracks: How God breaks in when life turns tough, contains ten true stories, united by a common theme. In all of them, ordinary people encounter God, in extraordinary ways, in the midst of challenging situations – sometimes in the miraculous, other times in the seemingly mundane. (Even in the stories that don’t have happy endings.)
Amongst others, the stories include: cancer disappearing without trace; a man defying death, multiple times, following a head-on road collision; cash appearing out of nowhere to keep a church from closing; and a teenager seeing her debilitating illness vanish in an instant.
As you read these stories, you will feel your faith rising for the seemingly impossible
Joanna explores each theme like facets of a diamond, the light catching and revealing God’s presence with us in life’s toughest moments. Drawing from her own journey and weaving in authentic, inspiring stories from others, she reminds us that prayer is not formulaic but a relationship. So often it can feel as if we have no choice or agency when challenges come, but Joanna brings us hope and practical wisdom. She helps us to encounter God and discover ourselves within the narratives of Scripture … May His light sweep into any darkness and His loving presence shine through you and to those around you.
