The Unexpected. An ideal Christmas present for the believers in your life

It's always nice to be able to seek out a perfect Christmas present for the believing Christians in your life.

Now you don't have to continue your the search because The Unexpected is here.

It's a new book by former top sports champion Iona Rossely and it draws on forty real-life experiences to empower and strengthen faith.

The Unexpected: A 40-day devotional for living with unexpected times is a practical guide on how to live in unexpected and changing, challenging times, written by former international sporting champion, Iona Rossely.  

This new publication is a continuation of her compelling story from artist, to speed skier, to endurance horse racer to author, as outlined in her previous autobiographical book, Racing on Empty (2020).

Walking us through a series of her personal experiences as Covid-19 hit worldwide, Iona’s devotional offers a roadmap for how to live with uncertainty by handing our tomorrows to God. 

Finding herself separated from her husband by lockdown regulations for the best part of a year, Iona remained living on their farm in Northern New South Wales, Australia, an experience that inspired her to write The Unexpected. 

Their home is also host to a unique gathering called Prayer, Praise and Pecan, a one-of-a-kind outdoor farm church, where she has witnessed many incredible stories which she weaves into The Unexpected.

In Racing on Empty, Iona shares her story which began in the high-octane world of competitive skiing. Iona excelled first as a ski instructor and then as a representative for Great Britain in speed skiing, securing the titles of 1986 Ladies British Overseas Champion and New Zealand Ladies Champion. 

A remarkable recovery from a life-threatening fall at 160kmph while speed skiing led Iona into a brief encounter with Jesus, but it was only when she hit rock bottom some years later as a member of the Irish equestrian team that she truly surrendered her life to God. 

Reflecting on her new devotional, Iona says, “My aim with this devotional guide is to help readers know that whatever the world throws at them, God has them firmly under His protection. Walking a supernatural life during turmoil is possible, when we trust in God, a path I am always learning. 

"When you hand Him control of your life, your journey takes on a new and exciting turn – don’t miss out on what God has planned for you. I hope this book will relate to many who may be asking the same questions.”

The Unexpected is available now in the UK to order from all good bookshops and online stores including Amazon UK, Eden, Waterstones, WH Smith and Blackwell’s.
