What Book Showed Me the Great Author I’ve Been Missing Out On?

One of the best ways to temper the heaviness of a book dealing with hard subjects is the judicious use of humor.  Cynthia Ruchti is a new author to me (forgive my stupidity, won't you?) but the brilliant use of humor to open Facing the Dawn set up a beautiful way to see the personality of a Continue Reading

Weddings Can Be Great Fun or Utterly Boring. It’s All about Perspective

I felt sorry for them. My daughters stood at the front of the building in "heels" (for them anyway) and cradling branches (yes BRANCHES) of lilacs in their arms. And the wedding sermon droned on.  For over an hour.  No joke. No exaggeration. Some of the girls shifted. Fidgeted.  I didn't blame Continue Reading

Dead Man's Watch Review

Dead Man’s Watch Did It. It Made Me Believe the Lie.

Strange.  This week I read two books that had watches as a key element of the plot. Of course, the books took place a hundred fifty years apart, and the first book's main character would have been astonished at the concept of a digital watch without moving cogs and such. Still, I found the use of Continue Reading

When Does a Great Idea Override a Mediocre Execution?

Fairy tale retellings are a dime a dozen.  No, really. They are. It's not always deliberate, but a few in particular, occur frequently. Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and The Princess and the Frog are notable examples. Because of this, sometimes even a mediocre story can come off as amazing Continue Reading

The Lady in Residence Review

This Split-Time Book Has Me Eager to Read More

This split-time novel has the unique distinction of keeping me completely riveted even while I battle lack of sleep.  No, really.  It does.  I don't know if you can get "jet lag" coming home after a short flight from South Carolina to Ontario, California, but if you can, I've got it. After spending Continue Reading

This is one of my favorite books I've ever written This is one of my favorite books I've ever written.  I spent a lot of time watching, processing, studying, and then using fiction to show the damage we as the church do when we elevate our method of serving the Lord over the PRINCIPLE of service in general.  After seeing family after family slaughtered by unrealistic expectations that weren't Biblically mandated, the Argosy family was born.  They just never knew what was coming when Matt appeared, ready to embrace their world and shake it up at the same time.
