 The latest release:

After a difficult childhood, Kim has built a successful life for herself, but she'd leave it all if it meant being rid of the guilt she harbors over a tragic mistake she made years ago. When she meets Rick, she finds everything she needs—including a way to pay for her sins every time he hits her. Kim and Rick’s new neighbor, Joshua, knows more than Kim realizes about Rick’s abusive behavior, but Joshua has battles of his own to fight. Soon to intersect Kim’s and Rick’s lives is Debbie, who has saved countless women from abuse through the shelter she runs but might be as desperate for love as the women she serves. Meanwhile, as Rick’s wrath extends to their baby, Kim must decide if her penance is more important than protecting that innocent life—and if she should dare leave Rick when he has the power to bring her hidden crime to light. A gripping, gritty novel, The Weight of Shadows explores how the risks we take for those we love can touch the lives of others forever.

Available on Amazon.com, Christianbook.com, and Barnes & Noble.com.)

A boy's simple question sparks a search for God. Prompted by his grandfather, he discovers God's presence everywhere: in a powerful storm, in a friend's help, and in his sister's kindness. Then his grandfather shares another truth: God also can be found in our hearts, if we inviite him in. Filled with wonder, That's Where God Is! teaches children ages 4 - 8 that God is always with them. Moving beyond simply telling about God, it gently guides children's spiritual growth, showing them how to recognize God's presence for themselves. With an introduction by Lee Strobel, it's ideal for parents, grandparents, and teachers who want to deepen a young child's walk with God.

God let Rachel Westing down. For twenty-six years she’s done everything by the book; she figures He should have her back. But then she learns her fiancé is cheating on her. Her parents are getting a divorce. And her Christian mentor has a pill addiction. Where is God in all this? Nowhere, as far as Rachel can see. Wounded, bitter, and with a shattered faith, she quits her job and goes across the country to live with Daphne—her childhood best friend whose soul Rachel once thought she was meant to save.


Confident, successful, fun-loving Daphne sets about helping Rachel reinvent herself, and for a while it’s exciting. But when another tragedy shakes Rachel to the core, what little bit of self-possession she has left begins to unravel. A true-to-life story that will draw you in and keep you biting your nails until the end.
