Illuminating the darkness one book at a time

How is it possible to illuminate darkness through fiction?

By packing it with scripture.

The pages of my Christian fiction novels are saturated with the gospel. The characters and stories are fiction, it’s true. But the word of God can still speak through these stories—God’s word will not return to him empty, but will accomplish that which he purposes. (Isaiah 55:11).

Perhaps you find yourself walking through a darkness similar to one of the characters. Maybe you’re wrestling with some of the same questions they are: is God good? Can I trust the plan he has for my life? Why does he allow tragedy to fall upon those he loves? Or maybe you’re desperate for hope and searching for something—anything—to put yourself back together again.

I don’t claim to hold all the answers to these questions, but I know who does. And he has revealed all things to us through his word, the Bible. That is where I go when researching the answers to the hard questions woven into my books. It is where my characters find hope and the strength to face their darkness.

It’s my prayer that readers who are wrestling, searching, or hurting will find the hope of the gospel through the pages of my written words—that the words of God I’ve included encourage readers to open up the Bible and encounter Christ for themselves.

These books are more than works of fiction. They are tools to spread the good news of the gospel. Open them up to find hope for yourself, or pass them on to a friend who needs hope.

Help me illuminate the darkness one book at a time.
