Snow, Deadlines, and Christmas…Oh My!
Greetings, y’all! In today’s newsletter, I’d like to share a little glimpse of life from our little log cabin during this Christmas season. As you might have heard, winter storm Diego brought a little snow to our neck-o-the-woods. At our house, we saw 19” in 36 hours of the most beautiful, fluffy, white powder all over our mountaintop. Fantastic for keeping me ...

Is God Enough?
We recently experienced our first winter storm here in the mountains (if you didn’t know, I live in the Appalachian range near Boone, NC). This time, we had ice, not snow. Snow, you can plow. You can even drive over or through it—with the right vehicle. But ice? I hate ice. It breaks trees. And power lines. We were without power ...

Thankful To Be A Child of Abraham
Yep, the ornery-looking girl in the too-tight jeans with a mischievous grin—that’s me, back in my BC days. At that stage of life, I wanted nothing to do with Jesus and I hated history. Couldn’t stand to be in the same room with my parents and refused to crack open a Bible. Typical rebellious teen. I remember spouting off to my U.S. History teacher—face-to-face, ...

The Power of the Prodigal
Children have a strange power over us, don’t they? A newborn hand gripping a new dad’s thumb can drive a hulking man to his knees in tears of thanks. A baby’s giggle can turn tears of grief into a hopeful smile. But a child’s rebellion can affect the whole family. How do I know? Well, we’ll save my personal story for future posts. Suffice it to say, prodigals wield a power to destroy, but when their ...

2 Types of Damages In God’s Justice
You can look at America’s TV dramas and know that people are fascinated with justice. Or you can read God’s Word and discover what TRUE justice really is. Both in real life and in Hollywood, we’re reminded that injustice too often robs the innocent of the justice God longs to give His children. Throughout Scripture we read His commands to ...

Blessed In the Storm
When Yahweh sent judgment on His sinful people, it often came in the form of drought. Cracked, dry ground refused to embrace the seed and produce a crop. People perished from dehydration and famine. But what about too much rain? What about floods? What about storms? While much of America’s East Coast still reels from the effects of Hurricane Florence, I feel the need to share about storms—life storms—and find some sort of ...

Wanna Be My BFF?
I believe it was with my fourth book that I realized I couldn’t do this writing thing alone. I began searching for a group of folks who were as passionate about biblical fiction as I was–and the Biblical Fiction Fans (BFFs) were born. These dear ones help get the word out about biblical novels—mine and others—that are well-researched, heart-pounding, and true-to-Scripture. What Is A ...
