Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Strange Inspirations

by Chautona Havig · 9 Comments

Confession: About 10 years ago, I heard the Brothers Four singing “Night Before Boy with quote from Night Before ChristmasChristmas” and it sparked an idea I’d never heard before. For fun, this silly mom, who never “did” Santa with her kids, began writing a “Santa story.” So… because it is pure fantasy–with no Christian basis other than you can trace the modern idea of Santa back to St. Nicholas who was a different person altogether, I’ve started a separate page for it. I just wanted to share for those who enjoy a fun Santa story now and then.

This fun little story is called Moore’s Code, and you can learn more HERE. I’ve also set up a website for it but haven’t added a lot to it yet. Be sure to book mark it as I’ll be adding to it from time to time.

      Not yet! When we finished 6, we thought we should do the whole volume so people just starting could get caught up! 🙂

    Can’t wait for seven, downloaded Volume one to have it all in one place. I tend to reread your books. The character I’m really interested in is Harlan, he’s so devoted to his uncle but is conflicted.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 558: A Chat with Felicia Hurd
byChautona Havig

Because Fiction is a celebration of fiction, but when I had the chance to chat with Felicia Hurd, I couldn’t resist. Listen in and see why Count It All Joy is the first (and possibly only) nonfiction book we’ll feature here.

People often ask why we go through hard things, but hearing others’ stories often helps us learn and grow.

Count It All Joy by Felicia Hurd

Count it all joy! Have you heard these words before? Is that even possible? How can you count it all joy when life’s challenges are coming at you, often one right after another, before you have time to recover from the challenge before? You may have heard the saying, “count it all joy,” in church for many years. While the phrase can be difficult to grasp the concept, it is possible in God’s timing and strength. In Count It All Joy, you will see how first-time author Felicia A. Hurd reveals her account of trials and challenges that shook and eventually strengthened Felicia’s faith. On this faith journey, from not trusting God to trusting God and studying His Word, Felicia has learned to count it all joy, even during trials, while learning to thank God in advance of the outcome, even if Felicia disagree with the outcome. God is a good Father, and Felicia has come to trust and believe that God knows what is needed and when. Welcome to the journey of Count It All Joy ~ Including the Broken Pieces

Learn more on Felicia’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads.
