Last but hoping not least are my novels presented from the most recent to the first. As I prepared to do this, I wondered what to say about my novels. I decided to say more than I probably need to just because they are different from the "mainstream" Christian romance novels or "love stories"…

           Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.    Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV)

  Joseph Courtemanche deserves to be part of my random selections for the readers on your Christmas shopping list. His voice is unique and entertaining while giving the reader thoughtful and well-researched (both "physically" and "spiritually") stories. I loved his novels.                             …

However, the past and now present leader of Group 15 have been…

       "Behold, I am coming soon. My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.      "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the…

  As those of us who read and write know, there are all kinds of readers. So for those readers on your list who love snark, wit, and complex characters and plots, I recommend James Scott Bell. James is truly the wittiest author I've ever had the pleasure to read. Although there are many of…

  Few novels – if any – have touched me like this one by Francine Rivers. The Masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece for me.
