As with everyone else this week, our hearts are broken over the horrific tragedy that has befallen Charleston, SC. But in the aftermath, I have to say I’m not all that surprised this has NOT gone the way of Baltimore or Ferguson (which it certainly could have). Instead, the citizens of this fine town have demonstrated an amazing measure of restraint …

What Follows After Wins Selah Award
Last night I learned some wonderful news. My novel, What Follows After–borrowing a phrase from one of my favorite Christmas movies–won a “major award.” I had posted a few weeks ago that it had been named a finalist for the Selah Award in the historical fiction category.

The Kindle version released last week; the print edition just became available over the weekend. A lot of readers have told me they prefer to read devotional books in print form (even if …
Constant Change is Here to Stay
I don’t know who said this: “Constant change is here to stay.” I first heard it many years ago at a pastor’s conference. It was shared by a seasoned pastor speaking to other pastors and, as I recall, he didn’t know who first coined the phrase, either. I don’t even recall the topic he was speaking on.

A Taste of Perfect Peace
I’m working on something a little different in my writing life these days. I’m still writing my next novel (a love triangle of sorts between a female inmate, an Afghan war amputee, and a shelter dog named Finley), but I’ve also been working on something else. I’m finishing up a 31-Day devotional book that I hope to release about a month from now. Here’s the cover …
