Christian Mystery and Adventure for the Whole Family
I’ve written contemporary mysteries for adults and teens, medieval novels for all, and two excellent Bible studies, one on the book of Revelation, and one on I John, II John III John and Jude.
My books are fast-paced and fun.
You are at the pool while your child is taking swimming lessons. You just happen to have a book in your bag. At home, you have a few minutes and brew yourself some chai tea and sit on the back patio while the birds sing and the flowers bloom. Again, you find that book you've been reading. That evening, you are waiting for your husband while he plays a baseball game. Ah! That book comes out again. But what book? A good book. Here are my all-time five favorite Christian mystery and detective ... View the Post
Part Two How can we find joy in the midst of a dreary, troublesome, difficult world? On those days when nothing seems to go right, when the car breaks down, and the rain won’t stop, and the kids are driving you crazy. God’s joy is different that the world’s joy. God’s joy is a deep-seated sense of peace and confidence that comes from believing that God is in control, that He loves me, and that He is working for my good even if I can’t feel it. Rom. 8:28 Yet the busier we get, the more ... View the Post
Part One “He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon.” John Milton The old man shifted, hearing in his half-sleep the clink of chains.

Hood to play in the snow, but that just wasn't the same as having it available right out your door. When we moved to Ekalaka, Montana, we arrived between two storm systems. They already had two ...

Fear demoralizes, immobilizes and defeats a person. Many people live in fear these days. Yet there is a way to face the future with courage, peace and hope. When Lucy Pevensie journeyed with her brother, cousin, and Prince Caspian aboard the ship the Dawn Treader, she became frightened when the ship got stuck at the Dark Island where their worst fears were realized. As the darkness increased, and the men pulled at the oars frantically to leave the island, ... View the Post
A man God calls the Beast will appear on the world scene soon. Who is the Beast? Why is he called such a name? What will he look like? What will he do? Why is it that we do not need to fear the Beast? When we look to the pages of sacred Scripture, we find the answers to our questions about what the future holds and Who holds the future. Read Daniel. Read Revelation. Better yet, study it. This is what we are told: A man will arise out of the masses who are living on the earth in the last ... View the Post
