Young Solheim author Nico Smit is thrilled to have recently had his fourth youth novel published.<\/p>\n
\u201cKruis voor my uit\u201d is also Smit\u2019s first academic publication and is about sexual molestation.<\/p>
This book is already in its fourth edition and is doing very well.<\/p>\n
Smit is a full-time qualified counsellor and has a degree in theology (BTh).<\/p>
He is currently busy with his master\u2019s degree in theology at the University of Pretoria and will complete it this year.<\/p>\n
He wrote “Kruis voor my uit” as he mainly works with children who have been sexually molested and, through his book, he wanted to give each person who has experienced this a voice.<\/p>\n
He first only wrote it as a youth novel, but then Genadendal Education approached him and requested him to give the book an academic side, which he did.<\/p>\n
Dr Chris Malan (PhD-registered therapist) helped him with the academic voice of the book and he is most grateful for all of his help.<\/p>\n
Smit is currently touring with “Kruis voor my uit” and gives motivational speeches at schools, churches and events.<\/p>\n
“Kruis voor my uit” is available at all major bookstores nationwide and libraries.<\/p>\n
Smit can be contacted via e-mail for motivational speeches at nico@nicactive.co.za.<\/p>\n
