Authors need gushing five-star reviews of their hard work to��validate them. Does this come as a surprise to anybody? I didn't think so. Receiving that sort of praise feels great - but is expecting it realistic? Okay, folks, buckle in because this one might sting. A good friend, SWAT teammate and fellow LEO was once instructing our team on tactics and our ability to get the mission done. He sai...

"„It takes death to reach a star“ was one hell of a good read for me. The writing is quick and rich at the same time- didn‘t feel for one second as if I was reading through some pages too fast, as I usually do.
The way the book is written, in first..." Read more of this review » |

“I think it's important for each of us to examine the reasons why we have survived our individual challenges, obstacles, and trials. It's not always easy to come to terms with the fact that God always has a greater purpose for us than we can have for ourselves.”

“It's very difficult to strike that balance - and I'm not convinced that many Christian filmmakers, writers, ect, are willing to take the risks necessary to even try. It's much safer and more profitable to tell a wholesome, feel good story (not that there's anything wrong with wholesome stories). But doing the opposite could mean offending potentially large swaths of your target audience by forcing them to confront the ugly truth that's present in each of our lives. I hate to say it, but a good number of Christians would rather feel safe, and good about themselves, than truly examine humanity's desperation and our need for the cross.”

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”
