by A. Anato Swu · India

Biography and memoir

A DIAMOND OF DUST’ will take you on a journey of how a promising medical student, aspiring to become a top surgeon, ironically became a drug addict himself. From being a studious and responsible son, he went into a life of an obscure and lonely youth with shattered dreams, unconcerned about his family life, shackled by the ‘chains of addiction’, forsaken by friends and forgotten by society but God had another plan and in the midst of the author’s darkest valley eternity crossed paths with him and his life was never the same. This book records, through experience, lucid accounts of not only what drugs and alcohol does to a person, but how to prevent you and your own children from becoming another statistic as its victim.

Breaking the Silence

Anxiety Depression Trauma

by Bokali Chishi Mughavi · India

Mental health and healing

Breaking the Silence is a story of struggle, faith, learning and hope. Bokali invites readers to replace fear with understanding, judgment with compassion, and isolation with connection. She hopes people living with mental health challenges will be heard, families will find support, and faith communities will become safer places for honest conversations. The journey through darkness can be difficult, but care, courage, appropriate help and hope can open a way forward. The book also honours the people whose presence, prayers and kindness helped her continue. Their support did not erase every difficulty, but it reminded her that healing can begin through small acts of care. By sharing experiences that once felt too painful to speak about, Bokali hopes to make room for others to tell their stories, ask questions and find support without fear of being misunderstood or judged. Her testimony invites readers to speak with greater courage.

Finding Light Again

A Journey Out of Depression — and How You Can Find Your Light Too

by David Cheong · Singapore

Mental health and healing

What do you do when the darkness refuses to lift? For years I battled severe depression in silence: the sleepless nights, the relentless thoughts, a hospital admission I never expected, and the terrifying belief that I would never be myself again. Finding Light Again is my honest memoir of the journey out of depression, a crisis of faith, hospitalisation and years of recovery. I wrote it from inside the storm, and from the other side of it. In these pages I share: - What it really feels like to be trapped in depression - How faith, community and medical help all played a part - The three things that finally broke through the darkness - How to take your very first step, even when you have nothing left - Why a man of faith can still need medication, and why there is no shame in it - The one conversation in February 2024 that broke through two years of darkness - The three lies depression told me, and the Scripture that silenced each one If you are struggling, please also speak to a doctor, counsellor or trusted pastor. You do not have to walk this road alone.

Is This All There Is to Life?

Finding Meaning Beyond the Daily Routine and Discovering Why Jesus Still Matters

by Sam Choo · Singapore

Christian living and discipleship

You wake up, go to work, pay the bills, take care of your responsibilities, and do it all again tomorrow. Years pass. You grow older. Life goes on. But have you ever stopped to ask: Is this really all there is to life? Why are we here? Does life have a greater purpose? Is there a God? And if there is, what does He have to do with your everyday life? Is This All There Is to Life? is written for ordinary people who have never seriously explored Christianity but are beginning to wonder about life's deeper questions. In clear, everyday language, this book explores: Why success, money, and comfort cannot answer every question about life. Whether there is good reason to believe in God. Why suffering and evil exist if God is good. Who Jesus really was and what made Him different. Why Jesus died on the cross and why His resurrection matters. What Christians mean by sin, forgiveness, grace, and salvation. What it means to believe in Jesus and begin following Him. You don't need to know the Bible, attend church, or have a religious background to read this book. There is no pressure to make a decision before you are ready. You are invited to examine the Christian message, consider your questions, and discover why Jesus still matters today. Because life may be about more than earning a living, growing old, and eventually leaving everything behind. And the answer may begin with a person named Jesus.

The Debt Trap Myth

How Forced Payments Build More Wealth Than Optional Investing

by David Cheong · Singapore

Money and finance

💸 You are not failing at money. You were given a map that did not match the ground. Most money books ask you to become a different person. This one does not. The Debt Trap Myth is a quiet, premium, practitioner-led book for readers who have tried the apps, read the bestsellers, and still feel like their wealth plan is running on willpower they do not have. The argument is simple: what is optional gets skipped.  Most wealth plans are built on optional actions. No wonder they fail. Structural debt — the kind you never see and never decide — is different. A well-chosen mortgage is one of the most disciplined savings plans a working person will ever access. Every monthly payment is two payments: interest (rent to the bank, gone) and principal (forced transfer into your own equity). Most people only see the first. Your wealth lives in the second. 📘 What you will learn 🔍 The Two Faces of Debt and a four-question test that sorts any loan in under a minute. 🏠 The Principal-Interest Wealth Switch — why your mortgage is actually two payments. ⚙️ Six Rules That Make Wealth the Default — automation, friction, segregation, defaults, lock-ins, and mortgage alignment. 🧭 The Before You Buy diagnostic — ten universal questions plus four Singapore-specific ones, organized into a three-zone readiness dial. 📝 The full 30-Day Implementation Journal — ten minutes a day to move from reading to results.

Why Is This Happening to Me, God?

Making Sense of Suffering and Stress, Finding Joy and Discovering Purpose in Life

by Sam Choo · Singapore

Faith and devotion

Why is this happening to me, God? You had an idea of how your life would turn out. Then reality gave you something different. A broken relationship. Financial stress. Illness. Loss. Disappointment. Failure. An uncertain future. You try harder. You take control. You tell yourself to stay strong. But eventually you discover an uncomfortable truth: some things in life cannot be controlled, fixed or explained. Why Is This Happening to Me, God? is about what happens next. This book explores how to face the gap between the life you expected and the life you actually have, take responsibility for what you can change, let go of what you cannot control, and learn to trust God when your own strength reaches its limits. It does not tell you that everything happens for a reason or that painful experiences are secretly good. Instead, it offers a Christian hope: what happened may not be good, but God can still work through it for good. Through practical reflection and biblical examples, you will discover how suffering can deepen compassion, how joy can exist even when life remains difficult, how your pain can become part of your purpose, and how God uses ordinary, imperfect people. You may never receive a complete answer to the question, “Why me?” But perhaps, with time, a different question can emerge: “God, what can You do with this?” And eventually: “God, what can You do through me?”
