If my underlying objective is to evoke emotion in my reader, then my ultimate goal should be to awaken a yearning for God in my reader’s heart.

There’s a difference between being a Christian Author and being an author who is a Christian. My books are an extension of who Christ is in me. Writing books isn’t a job I do; it’s a ministry in which I am privileged to participate.

I don’t want to give lip service to God so I can categorize my work as religious or Christian fiction. I can’t shy away from my beliefs and pray that a half attempt will lead others closer to a walk with Christ.

I desire to stand out.

To be a Christ follower...
