The Battle of Bible Heroes: Joseph vs. David

Let’s face it–when two heroes rumble, the whole earth shakes! Thankfully, I’m not writing about a real “battle” between our Bible heroes, Joseph and David. I’m not sure anyone would read that post or book or buy a movie ticket! The “battle” we’ll talk about today between biblical giants, Joseph and David, will measure the distance of their personal journeys. ...

Egypt – More Than Just Pyramids

When I wrote The Pharaoh’s Daughter, my first book set in Egypt, I thought there was a pyramid around every corner. Not so! Something similar happens with folks all around the world.

Dating Joseph In the Faiyum

Though I’ve never actually SEEN Joseph, son of Jacob, after hearing his description from the Bible’s Book of Genesis, I would have gladly dated him. In the Faiyum. In the desert. In the rain forest. (I sound like a Dr. Seuss book.) Okay wait! When I titled this post Dating Joseph In the Faiyum, I really meant dating–as in placing him on ...

Cover Design – In Feast Or Famine

I love a good hotdog, fresh off the grill or while watching a baseball game at a stadium with family. What I wouldn’t love is watching the process of making hotdogs. I’ve heard some pretty icky things go into those “tube steaks,” so sometimes ignorance-is-bliss, right? Well, NOT with cover design! Today, you and I get to dive into the ...

What Makes You Different?

What kind of different are we talking about today? In one of my favorite movies, the little boy, Forrest Gump, is forced to undergo some standardized testing before he enters school. The principal explains his less-than-favorable results to Forrest’s mother in the clip above by saying the famous words: “Your boy’s different, Mizzz Gump.” Is being different a bad thing or ...

The Fallout of Betrayal: Part I – Joseph’s Heritage

Betrayal—not a cheery topic, but at some point, we all meet it in a dark corner of our lives and need a light to shine on it. This month we’ll use Joseph’s journey to shine that light and continue the story we began last year in Potiphar’s Wife (Genesis 39). We built on the biblical foundation with historical research and added ...

God Is As Unique As He Made You

We know that each fingerprint is unique, right? We see that truth repeated in just about every cop show or suspense novel. But have you ever considered that we also have a unique spiritual fingerprint? That our God has not only created our fingers to be completely different than any other human that ever walked the earth (or ever will), but also ...
