Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

  • I find it mildly amusing that the novel which was the most difficult for me to write has the most reviews (even though there's not very many). I struggled mightily writing this one. Extremely grateful to the detective (at the time) who answered all my questions and made writing the police procedural/mystery possible. I was…

  •   Great question. One of the best from The Doobie Brothers.    Father, thank you for all that you give to us. People living their callings – always the best when they honor you in the process. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  • There is much to be "musing" about this Monday unrelated to reading and writing, but I'm going to keep it book-related for now. I wouldn't say I'm a picky or finicky reader, but I would say I have a "type" of novel I prefer in each genre. And, like most serious readers, I have my…

  •   Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,    the people he chose for His inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from His dwelling place He watches    all who live on earth — He who forms the hearts of all,    who considers everything they do. No…

  •     Five things I don't like that most people – not all – do like.          1. Coffee – I come from a long line of coffee drinkers, and I've never been able to acquire a taste for it.        2. The movie Dances with Wolves.       …

  •       The Opposite of Art by Athol Dickson was reviewed under the post "Finding . . . The Opposite of Art" back on 09/15/2011.  One thing is for sure when you read an Athol Dickson novel: you won't be reading anything "ordinary". The Opposite of Art by Athol Dickson published by Howard Books, a division of Simon and Schuster, is no…

  •   Red Sky Mourning by Jack Carr is Book 7 in The James Reece Thriller Series. James Reece is done with all the assignments from Vic Rodriguez and the CIA. He wants a life with his fiancée, journalist Katie Buranek, and the comfort that comes from the Hastings family at their Kumba Ranch on their…

  •   One of Donovan's greatest hits. I loved this one.    Father, you're all that matters. You are Love. Apart from you, we only get a brief glimpse of what real love is – and we're simply not capable of it in these sin-stained bodies. Thank you is never enough for your rescue. In the…

  • Reading Jack Carr's Red Sky Mourning and will have a review up by next week. So looking forward to Don Bentley's new entry to the Mitch Rapp Saga in September: Capture or Kill. In between those Brad Thor will have a new release in August Shadow of Doubt.  What novels are you looking forward to…

  •        Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own, but He sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong…
