    Finding God’s Strength in the Space Between What Was and What Will Be  
    What if the place you fear the most — the uncertain, unfinished, in-between — is actually the place God forms you the deepest?  
    In Limbo Land, Phil Strong pulls back the curtain on the most misunderstood season of the Christian life: the stretch between promise and fulfilment, calling and commissioning, “almost” and “not yet.”This is where faith feels fragile, prayers feel unanswered, and control slips through your fingers. It’s where confusion, impatience, doubt, and insecurity stalk your every step.  
    But it’s also holy ground.  
    Through vivid metaphors — the Unfinished Bridge, the Thin Place, the Intercessor’s Lantern — and deeply personal stories, Phil shows that the in-between is not divine punishment; it’s divine preparation. It’s where God exposes dependence, reshapes identity, rewires trust, and calls you into a surrendered strength you didn’t know was possible.  
    Featuring:   
    The Helpless, Not Hopeless framework that redefines strength   
    Paul’s thorn — why God sometimes refuses relief to release grace   
    Rees Howells’ stunning surrender story that shifts everything   
    The unseen work God does in hidden seasons   
    How to recognise when formation is complete and the crossing is near    
    If you're stuck, stalled, or suspended between chapters of your life — this book will help you breathe again.It will show you how to trust the wait, walk with God in uncertainty, and emerge with a strength that was impossible without the in-between.  
    Limbo Land is not the end of your story.It’s the place where God writes the part that changes you forever.

    “That, dear reader, is what happens when you let your blind spots get the best of you.” 
    One day you’re on top of the world, the next you’re chained in a jail cell on Rikers Island. It turns out that actions have consequences. 
    Gregory Blotnick lived a life of excess, spending money as fast as he could make it. At age thirty, he had everything a man could ever want. It still wasn’t enough. Driven by unchecked ambition and vainglory, he risked it all on himself with no plan B. . . only to discover what happens when burning the boats goes horribly wrong. Each time he thought he'd hit rock bottom, an even rockier bottom laid in wait beneath it. But just when he thought that he’d lost everything a man can possibly lose, he found what really matters. 
    Written from two jails and a rehab clinic, Blind Spots is a shocking, dark and searingly honest memoir, a rollercoaster of decadent highs and soul-crushing lows, and a cautionary tale of how your greatest weakness is always your greatest strength taken too far.

    Some time ago at the Sheraton Hotel, Lagos I was with a group of people and we talked about the most memorable moments of our lives. One of us, the first to speak, talked about the day he secured his first job. Another spoke of the day he passed his University degree examination. For another group member, it was the day he retired from the Nigerian Army. The following person said that his most memorable day was the day he heard that his wife was off the danger list after a severe surgical operation. Then, the elderly man who had been listening intently to our discussion cut in and said, 'As far as I am concerned, the most memorable day of my life was when my autobiography, which showcased the story of my life from birth to date was publicly presented and launched'.He added that his autobiography contained his footprints on the sand of history which he wants to pass on to the present and future generations as a source of inspiration. According to him, his autobiography also contained the memorable relationships he had with his children. He was pleased that his autobiography had gone to various parts of the world for people who did not even know him to read about him. Listening to him speak, I shook my head and said, 'The words of elders are words of wisdom'

    This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the captivating journey through the life and mind of one of history's most intriguing figures—William of Ockham. In the pages that follow, we will delve into the remarkable story of a man whose ideas have left an indelible mark on philosophy, theology, and the way we understand the world. 
    Born in a time of shifting paradigms and profound intellectual exploration, William of Ockham emerged as a beacon of intellectual courage and curiosity. His life's journey takes us through the corridors of medieval thought, where he challenged conventions, questioned established norms, and dared to carve his own path through the complexities of the age. 
    As we embark on this exploration, we'll uncover the threads that wove the fabric of Ockham's life—the circumstances of his birth, the crucible of his upbringing, and the profound influences that shaped his worldview. We'll journey with him through the hallowed halls of academia, where he honed his formidable intellect and developed ground-breaking ideas that continue to resonate to this day. 
    Ockham's journey was not only one of academic pursuits but also a spiritual voyage. His entry into the Franciscan Order added a layer of complexity to his character, intertwining his devotion to religious life with his insatiable thirst for intellectual inquiry. These dual pursuits propelled him into the heart of philosophical and theological discourse, where he contributed to defining debates and daringly challenging established norms.
