-- Inspired by a growing appetite for contemporary Christian fiction, particularly among young adults, author Betty Johansen is announcing that "Darkness Under His Feet", her debut novel, is now available as a free download.

The novel's title, Johansen explains, draws from Psalm 18:9, where David describes calling upon God during distress and witnessing divine intervention marked by earthquakes and fire. By weaving Biblical wisdom into contemporary storytelling, the book provides an accessible entry point for unchurched teenagers to engage with Christian values through compelling fiction, offering young readers both relatable struggles and inspirational spiritual guidance.
Set in the fictional town of Deepwater, Texas—a location distinct from the real Deepwater, TX—the novel follows Tobi Kirkland, a city editor grappling with personal trials and suspicion of murder after a former employer relocates to her community. As she finds comfort in Psalm 18, witnessing God's fury unleashed on David's enemies, Tobi learns to trust that divine care extends tenderly to her own circumstances, demonstrating how timeless Biblical wisdom speaks directly to contemporary struggles faced by young adults.
Johansen's work exemplifies successful young adult Christian mystery literature by weaving suspense, humor, and Biblical insights into stories that follow a teenage investigator confronting mysterious deaths linked to supernatural rumors. Such works balance entertainment with spiritual depth, establishing a proven model for faith-based mysteries that engage younger readers while prioritizing both narrative quality and theological substance.
Wordsmith World releases Christian-inspired narratives that nurture both faith and critical thinking among younger readers, responding to a broader renewal in spiritual curiosity among younger people. As a former teacher, Johansen has stated that she is proud to support the development of the next generation of Christians through her work, and excited to continue her journey as an author.
"Darkness Under His Feet" is available as a PDF download through the author's website. Johansen's other works, which include biblical study guides as well as other all-ages mystery novels, can be found on her website.
