  •      Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. Just then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.      As Jesus was…

  •                           Here is the 5th chapter in my unfinished novel titled . . . in a love song.   Five How the only woman who could give him a hitch in his normal attitude and response to her could appear almost bashful in thanking him for putting up her new screen doors baffled him. But…

  •                    Reflecting on how much I loved Order to Kill, at some point I suppose the Mitch Rapp Legacy must come to an end. I can't stand that thought. I love this character. He's the most epic personality in print and it's a true tribute to Kyle Mills that he's been able to pick…

  •                     Did you ever wonder why there was this desperation for "separation of church and state" which cannot be found in the Constitution? Christianity brings conviction for sins and plagues the conscience with a demand for separation of good and evil.

  •      For Vince Flynn fans, The Survivor couldn't get here soon enough – but then there was also that underlying sense of dread. No one could be Vince Flynn. Would Mitch be Mitch? Irene, Irene? Stan Hurley? You get the idea. So it is with both some reservation and glee that I admit Kyle Mills took…

  •                   Still good after all these years . . .   Father, you're the only One who knows our hearts. May those who use your gifts so well know the author and dispenser of those gifts. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  •   I once wrote a final episode for the Magnum P.I. series. It wasn't anything like the real final episode. Mine was better. At least I liked it better. I know many have written stories for the Star Trek series. I confess it's a lot of fun making scenes and putting together stories for ready-made characters…

  •                                      In Christian fiction a few years ago it was trending to write stories which alternated between the past and present. Susan Meissner did several novels in this style. I can't speak for general market fiction or which authors participated in this style or if it remained a solid trend. In The Girl in the Glass …
