Jesus’ Beatitudes were first spoken nearly two millennia ago, in these simple statements—when you really look at them with fresh eyes and grasp their depth of meaning—you will find the same pertinence, relevance, and challenge that his first-century audience felt. In them, you will find an invitation into the sacred (holy, set-apart) space of de(re)construction. I hope that, for you, this is not just another book on something Jesus said. Instead, I hope that you might feel seen by Jesus in his Beatitudes, as I have—that you might know that your questioning, confusion, and rethinking...

Wonder of Light is officially a Trilogy. The title Wonder of Light is book 1 in the series. It is recommended to read them in order, but each novel can be read as a standalone. I was inspired by true events to write this book; however, the story line and characters are fictional. It is a young adult romance, set in high school. It is a high school bully/adversaries-to-lovers style romance. There are depictions of violence, nothing too graphic, and profanity has been censored due to the spiritual nature of the book. Please, please, please, leave a review of what you think of my story. Honest...

But if you’ve ever sat in the dark with a dead phone, a melting freezer, and zero clue what to do next—you already know a little fear can be useful.

Storms hit harder, grids fail more often, and sometimes things just fall apart. One minute you’re reheating leftovers and scrolling social media, the next you’re using a headlamp to check if ...
