In Hold the Faith, Benjamin grows from what I think of now, as an exuberant puppy, into a man who is being forced to question his faith.
Readers identified him as the 'hero' and have wanted to know what happens to him throughout the series. His parents, Naomi and Samuel are consistent figures - but I guess Benjamin has the most attention. From the beginning of the series, I have been working to bring about the 'result' for Benjamin.
Look for some surprises, and a lot of action, as many things begin to culminate in book 4 - Keep the Faith.
(I am making it ready for my editor now.)

Biblical Fiction or Biblical Fantasy

The truth about Biblical fiction is that those of us who write in this genre generally believe the Bible. I say generally, because over the years I have read books supposedly in this genre, but the writer has taken a person, or part of the Bible then write a version of their own.
