Bio
I love my family, I love my church, and most of all I love my God.
The family part is made up of myself, five kids, and one wife. We are pretty weird. We don’t own a TV, spent ten years overseas, get up on the roof to watch the stars and look for the monkeys in the trees, and love reading books together.
My church is one of those Bible-believing kinds. More than that, we love the Bible and seek to squeeze out all we can from every page. And we don’t blush about anything we find there.
As for my God, he would be the real One—the Father of Jesus Christ. And He is my inspiration for writing. See, I believe that godly writing mimics God because he wrote the best of all books, and because he created all that is…by words.
Work In-Progress
“The Slaves’ Law” is a middle-grade fantasy adventure with imagery, truths, and phraseology drawn from in the biblical book of James.
The Pitch: James Edward Jameson’s family has owned thirty acres of vine-covered forest in the small, gem-rich town of Hiddenite, NC for over 100 years. But unlike their neighbors, they never dug up the ground looking to strike it rich, though they certainly would have liked to. The forest would not allow it. Every attempt to enter turns the trespasser around and spits you out before you can get a hundred feet in. That is, until the most frustrating day of James’ life leaves him in a blind sprint of rage…
Other Things to Know (If You Want to)
Non-Author Work
I am the creator and manager of Biblearc, an outreach ministry of Bethlehem College and Seminary.
My Favorite Fantasy Books
The Drowned Vault (Ashtown Burials), The Horse and His Boy (The Chronicles of Narnia), The Monster in the Hollows (The Wingfeather Saga), The Chestnut King (100 Cupboards), The Book of the Dun Cow.
C.S. Lewis taught that knowing God by analysis and knowing him by experience are different things, and myth uniquely facilitates both. I think he was right.
While speaking of preaching, Jonathan Edwards talked of seeking to raise the affections of his hearers as high as possible so long as they were being affected by the truth being preached and in right proportion to it. It seems to me that the same ought to go for writing Christian fiction. So that is what I am after.
