quote
“The day will come … when people will once more be called to speak the word of God in such a way that the world is changed and renewed. It will be in a new language, perhaps quite nonreligious language, but liberating and redeeming like Jesus’s language, so that people will be alarmed, and yet overcome by its power—the language of a new righteousness and truth, a language proclaiming that God makes peace with humankind and that God’s kingdom is drawing near.”[56]”

"Gideon's Dawn is a fast-paced action/adventure fantasy novel, one that transports the reader along with Gideon Dawning to another world, a world in turmoil between good and evil forces clashing with Words of Power that resonate off the pages. There a"

The Word That Prevails: The Pearlsong Refounding Book Four:
"Power Word Thrill! From wizard battles to stirring swordfights, betrayal to redemption, internal conflict to divine intervention, the epic conclusion to a journey I began a good two decades ago with the first edition of Gideon's Dawn is everything I "

“You see, I want a lot.
Maybe I want it all:
the darkness of each endless fall,
the shimmering light of each ascent.
So many are alive who don't seem to care.
Casual, easy, they move in the world
as though untouched.
But you take pleasure in the faces
of those who know they thirst.
You cherish those
who grip you for survival.
You are not dead yet, it's not too late
to open your depths by plunging into them
and drink in the life
that reveals itself quietly there.”
