Wonderful Day

  A Lone Chair Sitting on a Hill at Sunset.


Wonderful Day


Excerpt:

The sky burned a fiery red, lighting the road back to the family farm. In my arms, I carried my dog, Chance, who had suffered a broken leg. I had contemplated eating him but quickly chose otherwise. I would instead return home to gather in prayer and die. I had but a mile to go when I saw her, standing perfectly still. Her small, lean frame resembled a crane, but they had perished long ago, succumbing to the ravenous drought.

“May I help you?” I asked.

She turned to me and smiled. “My name is Hope.”


GOODREADS REVIEWS:

Steve Akerson - "What a wonderful short story. It takes only minutes to read, but it carries a lot with it. I'm sure there is much, much more in the story that I did not catch the first time I read it, so I'll read it again. The book is full of Hope, full of peace, full of the truth about our loving Father. His love pours out of every page, meeting each person at the point of their need, and filling them with hope for tomorrow - even if they don't have a clue what tomorrow will bring. 

Turns out that the tomorrow's in this book bring Jesus and his new-every-day mercies to a growing crowd of needy folks. His love surrounds them as they are continually astounded by his works. 

I urge you to read this book, and think of Jesus and others around you as you do. Opportunities will come your way to bring Hope to those who desperately need it."

The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life. One of those is the discerning power of God. This book, The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God's Discer...

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.
