I love happily-ever-afters, pointing others toward God, and encouraging others to flex their creative muscles. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, so I write in three genres: Christian romance, Christian living, and children's books with a twist.

My Christian living book, "Enoch Walked with God: And you can too" was a Kindle best-seller (top 100) in all three of its categories for at least time for the first 2.5 months it was out.

The Heart of the Gospel

I have always enjoyed reading the book of Romans in the Bible. I knew it was the book that has inspired numerous revivals through the centuries.

Months ago, I started doing the Daily Grace Company’s Romans Bible study. (Have I ever told you how much I love the Daily Grace Company’s Bible studies? I highly recommend them!)

Romans is a book that is full of rich theology, but also includes practical st
