Series Description: Great evils are beginning to sweep the earth. Amidst the ever-growing persecution against Christians, a group of God's children embark on a journey spanning over fifty years in order to secure a future for the human race free from enslavement to evil sorcerers working for Satan, as well as many other horrors such as human breeding programs and the takeover of governments worldwide by specialized demons known as mimics and print doubles. While many Christians are learning to roar, God provides extra help for His children in the form of protectors such as gryphons, wind horses, and thunderbirds. Even smaller creatures such as gnomes and puck trolls play their parts, as do magical topiaries and statues that come to life to thwart the likes of megahobs (giant hobgoblins) and Unicorn Hunters. Also provided are places of refuge such as houses that hold doorways to other realms and vast underground libraries. Though on a certain path, we discover that certain things are not what we might expect, such as that dragons are hiding right under our very noses, and unicorns are connected to our souls. Unicorns are also the key to time travel and can help cure depression. Magical rainbows and peacocks abound, and are as close (often just down the street) as the enormouse (a supersized magical mouse) using his gifts to expose gremlins hiding in our backyard sheds. With God, anything is possible, so we shouldn't be surprised when He guides us to use art and music as weapons; or when He helps magicians create objects such as thimbles to measure dragon tears for healing, and bagicals (magical bags) that can produce even more tools to use in the fight against evil. With the rise of the Supercities (under control of the sorcerers), comes the rise of the Gifted, individuals such as those whose bodies can produce jewels that can either heal or kill, and others whose architecture (based on magical triangles) helps provide hiding places for the persecuted. As the years progress, we learn we can always trust in God to help us overcome struggles, such as keeping enough human goodness in supply, since this is what magical creatures like firebirds, grimmpts, and unicorns feed on. God's light is still shining, brighter than ever, to help the human race survive as we draw closer to the Endtimes. While Satan and his followers might seem to be gaining ground, we must never forget that God is still in control. In fact, His children wind the Clock of the Universe.    Christian/Fantasy Ages 11+  Part II can be read before Part I. This might appeal to younger readers because the Part II adventures are somewhat shorter and quicker reads.    Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle

The White Sparrow

"When we focus too much on the things of the earth, we tend to miss the blessings from above..."

In order to spread the magic of the world, God employs many helpers, including white sparrows, who are tasked with bestowing gifts such as mercy, healing, working of miracles, and prophecy upon certain individuals. One might imagine handing out gifts from God would be hard work for the sparrows; but they get to have a little fun along the way, playing Connect-the-Dots to make the lives of certain people intersect. Jacob Woodbury, Chime Stouffer, and Shannon McNay are three such individuals, not only recipients of special gifts, but also destined to have great impact on one another and, quite possibly, the whole world. All human beings have gifts; and when we first discover them, like anything new, they take some getting used to, especially when the gifts involve challenges. In working through some of these challenges, and in deciding which paths to take, we might well find ourselves wanting to give the gifts back, or at least wishing they came with instruction manuals so that we could know exactly what we are supposed to do with them. We all go through times of change in our lives, and the changes can sometimes be quite troubling. But if given a chance to change things, how many of us really would?   Author Note: The White Sparrow is about making good use of the gifts and skills God has given us, and about making wise choices as we grow in our understanding and use of them. The story leaves several things to mystery, so that readers can find some of their own answers and imagine themselves within the characters. The book also contains Questions for Discussion at the end for use in classroom and youth group settings.   Christian/Supernatural Ages 12+  Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle   Free E-Book

The Wishbone Miracle

"A miracle waits around every corner..."

Sometimes the proof of God's existence is right under our very noses, if we simply slow down and pay attention to our surroundings. And if we ask Him to reveal His presence, we shouldn't be surprised when He not only shows Himself, but also blesses us with the gift of a miracle. Of all of the milestones in our lives, graduation from high school can be one of the most difficult and confusing times to go through. Entering her final year of high school, Ricky Halo struggles with making the right decisions as far as her future. Busy with school, family, and church activities, she also takes on a film project as a way of proving to skeptics that God really does exist. As the events of her journey unfold, Ricky, a steadfast believer, somehow manages to surprise even herself. But in addition to guiding others, can she find the answers to her own questions within the project?   Author Note: The Wishbone Miracle is about finding God in our surroundings, and finding our Guide when making important decisions. The story leaves several things to mystery, so that readers can find some of their own answers and imagine themselves within the characters. The book also contains Questions for Discussion at the end for use in classroom and youth group settings.   Christian/Supernatural Ages 12+  Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle   Free E-Book
