I'm Awake!

Whether you are a current Jehovah’s Witness or used to be one in the past, or even if you are one of the millions on the verge of leaving the organisation, this book is purpose made for you. This guide is full of tips, knowledge and heartfelt support for anyone that wants to know the answer to the question, “are the Jehovah’s Witnesses who they say they are?”.

This is not another magazine telling you how to live your life or telling you what choices to make or even what Truth and reality is. Rather it is a collection of experiences from those that have made choices in the past and are letting you know what has worked for them and what hasn’t.

If you are ready to do any research, here would be a good place to start. If you are thinking of leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses, here are the choices. If you think you know the world outside, read the experiences of those who have seen the outside world. If you still haven’t come to terms with your Jehovah’s Witness past, then here is wisdom and support.

This is Jonny Halfhead’s first move to non-fiction. A full colour, magazine like experience which is easy to digest and full of gentle advice and support.

The Truth

David, a police detective, struggling with his own truth and the reality of the law he upholds, is called to an attempted murder of an elderly man at the hands of a teenager. It should be a straight forward open and shut case, until he encounters the ‘Truth’ and all is not what it appears.

From God to Goth

What do you do when you leave a highly controlling religious group? When all your friends and family treat you as an apostate? Jonny must move on and find his way in the evil outside world, face his fears of the unknown and find kindred spirits. Follow Jonny’s journey as he explores his creativity and the demons that fight against him, both physical and mental.

The Offence of Grace

Grace is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She has been assaulted by one of her peers in the congregation. Grace’s hope lies in the Elders, three men who preside over the welfare of the congregation. Grace tries bravely to bring justice to her assailant and in the process goes on a journey from isolation into a bigger world.

The 1975 Apocalypse

Anna and Steven Mcphearson are coping with being a newly married couple and spending their time as Jehovah’s Witnesses preparing themselves for the oncoming apocalypse in which they hope to survive the mass slaughter of four billion human beings.

History asks civilisations repeatedly, how far do we need to go before we see the real truth around us? Anna has to take that journey to its extreme end before she can see “the Truth”.

Nine Pills

A young man, alone and shunned by his friends and family for not following his strict religious upbringing, finds himself at a crossroads and has to make the greatest decision of his life. Emotionally beaten into a lonely and miserable existence, he reflects on the steps that have brought him to that place and time.
