Award-winning Christian author and international prophetic apostolic voice Nico Smit announces the release of his new book, Aimed & Ready, a spiritually focused and deeply encouraging work for readers who feel delayed, discouraged, or pulled back by life’s trials.
Recently receiving the Literary Titan Gold Book Award and given The Golden Quill Read recommendation, nominated for The World’s Best Book Award 2026 by World’s Best Magazine, Aimed & Ready is already gaining attention as a powerful resource for Christians navigating disappointment, transition, spiritual fatigue, and long seasons of waiting. The book is available in paperback, audiobook, and ebook formats, with a devotional workbook also available to order alongside it.
At the heart of Aimed & Ready is the compelling image of the bow and arrow. Smit invites readers to see the seasons that feel like setbacks, silence, pressure, or loss not as abandonment, but as divine preparation. A life that feels pulled back may, in fact, be aimed by God for a greater release.
A recent review from Literary Titan describes Aimed & Ready as “earnest, vivid, and often moving,” noting that the book “wants to steady the heart, reframe suffering, and call the reader back into trust.” The review highlights Smit’s pastoral tenderness, devotional rhythm, and ability to give discouragement “a shape people can actually work with.”
Through themes such as surrender, waiting, spiritual alignment, the “holy hush,” the reset that becomes a re-aim, and David’s devastation at Ziklag, Smit offers readers a message of resilient hope. Rather than minimizing pain, Aimed & Ready helps readers understand what holding on feels like from the inside and reminds them that what looks like burial may be the first stage of resurrection.
Written with the urgency of a preacher and the compassion of a pastor, Aimed & Ready speaks to Christians who are seeking clarity, strength, and renewed faith in difficult seasons. Smit’s approachable writing style, practical insight, and deeply personal foundation make this book both spiritually rich and relevant for everyday life.
Aimed & Ready is available now in paperback, audiobook, and ebook formats. Readers can order the book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and can also purchase the accompanying devotional workbook for deeper reflection, prayer, and personal application.
