Becoming an author, even having the courage to say that I’m an author, has been a wonderful journey in my recent life! It was not a lifelong aspiration, but a sudden prod from my Lord! Now, I happily spend what time I can writing inspirational novels and devotionals which I hope will be a blessing to my readers.
Bond Brothers was probably the most difficult book for me to write. It took a lot of research and I didn’t want to seem to be “adding to scripture.” However, that said, it is one of my favorite books, and Philemon’s conversion story is also one of my favorites! Here’s just a little bit of … More Salvation Silhouettes #2: Philemon

Philemon 1-2 Allow me to introduce you to Philemon, the primary recipient of this letter. W. Graham Scroggie makes note of the fact that “all we know of this man is contained within this epistle and one or two sentences in the Colossian letter.” He then produces a list of facts that emerge from those … More Unto Philemon Our Dearly Beloved: Part 5
