The Truth Series
The Truth Series came about from heartache: the loss of a loved one, the narrative and trial treatments given, and a grief so real it permeates every fibre of your being. The Truth Series began simply to tell the truth about cancer and modern medicine, and provide a lens to approach healing which does not bow to popular discourse and the new trial medications; instead to be empowered by choice and, most importantly, learning to stand in faith and truth.
The Truth Series is about unwavering hope. Yes, the topics may be controversial (the lens through which it is written even more so) but each book provides a context to challenge the current narrative and provide real life examples and research that helps create practical tools and exercises to enable readers connect with a greater truth that can change your life.
Book One:
The Truth About High School
The first book in the Series, is an Applied Philosophy for Life. The Truth about High School is written for teenagers and those who interact with them, including parents, carers and educators to read through and reflect on their own (or another’s) experience and how this may shape an understanding of themselves and the world around them. Indeed, this book is not just relevant to a high school environment, but is particularly applicable to teenage experience and adolescent years.
The book discusses some of the following topics: the ‘cyber playground’, phone and device use and social media, the changing reality of relationships and the body (i.e. pornography, gender fluidity) and provides various tools to support teenagers in this ever-changing secular society.
I can’t explain what your book did to me. I found myself crying without really knowing why. It’s like you were reading my thoughts, like you wrote it for me. Thank you. (Teenage girl, aged 16)
This is the book I didn’t even realise I needed to read. I got it for my teenage daughters and read it first. This was just the inspiration I needed to put back in place the things that have been lost and broken in our home for a long time. (Mother, aged 46)
One of the chapters in Diana’s book has changed my life. I was being bullied about a really personal issue and that chapter prompted me to reach out directly to her. Her wisdom and experience have changed everything. I’m no longer anxious about this issue and I am ready to face Year 12. (Teenage boy, 17).
