I have purposely put two posts in total opposite together today; I like themes, and these are extremes. Let me stop right there before I break out into my cover of a Billy Joel song. From the first words I have read of this series, “One”, I was pretty much sucked into it. Why? I love the genuineness of it, the feelings laid bare, the core and essence of it. I have come to understand the intent and the desire of the creator of this series, Mark Miller. He has no desire to bring anyone in that is preachy, that looks down from a pulpit, which is casting out lightning bolts to smite down the unbelievers.
To my understanding not only are different faiths going to be showcased in this series, but also forms of thought. This is not a religious series, but a series that is looking to tap into the mind, the soul, the core of your being. The lineup of future author’s is pretty diverse, spanning many different faiths, educational backgrounds and writing styles. “12 Steps” is the second installment of this series, get this on your radar and into your ereading device, the reads are well worth the $.99 investment, consider it a Do-It –Yourself improvement project expense that keeps giving back.
Before I go, here is the synopsis:
“Mark Miller’s “One” is a spiritual anthology examining True-Life experiences of Authors and their Faith. As the series evolves, expect to discover what it means to have faith, no matter what that faith is and no matter where the authors live. Remember that we are all part of this One World.

What can I say about the author? He’s my father. You have him to thank or blame, for the most part, for me being a writer. If not for him writing the screenplay for Daniel’s Lot, then I would not have started One (I’m leaving out a few steps in between, but trust me, it’s connected).

When Giovanni and I talked about One, it quickly developed into something fascinating. The idea was to explore faith through real life experiences. I had a very specific story to tell. Then I started thinking about other authors. Who did I know that could contribute to something like this?

It occurred to me that my father might have something to say on the subject. And guess what? He did. It turned out to be a personal story in which I learned a little too.

Be sure to read his bio to get a feel for him. He’s a newspaperman, editor, novelist, screenwriter, director and producer. That’s a whole lot of stuff rolled into one. You definitely get your money’s worth.
Then, there is this other side to him. He is a Christian. It’s something new to him. About two years ago, he was “born again”. I’ve seen some interesting things in his “new walk” and this story gave me some perspective.

We don’t always agree on everything, but we are good friends. He is showing a side of himself these past couple years, that I’ve never seen before, both strange and fascinating.

Before you, dear reader, get to the story, I would like to say one more thing, “I love you, Pop.”
