A Love for Words

I have been writing most of my life, but I never wanted to “be” a “writer.”  I definitely never planned to be a Christian author.  It just kinda happened.  I wrote blogs before they were called blogs - We called them diaries and journals back then.

I think my love of writing began with my love of words.  As a small child, I could not wait to start going to school because I wanted to learn to read.  I was fascinated by the stories adults could tell me simply by looking at those black symbols on the page.  A wise and loving grandparent gifted me with a child’s picture dictionary in kindergarten and my passion began.

A Love for God’s Word

I have read many books, but the Bible is my favorite.  It has it all – history, mystery, romance, murder, action, and intrigue – and it is all true.  Much more than the fiction of “The Greatest Story Ever Told”, the personal development and spiritual growth it imparts has transformed me into the person I am today.  I needed an instruction manual for life, and the Bible is mine.

I think the Bible is a marvel, and the most important book ever given to mankind.  From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God has revealed Himself through words on a page.  I have spent thousands of hours reading and studying God’s word, and I have learned many exciting things that I try to share in my writing.

A Passion for Healing

My passion for healing happened completely by accident – literally.  Following an accident, a loved one was in severe pain physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  Modern medicine could only do so much to help, and my feelings of powerlessness fueled a quest for an effective alternative.  At that time my desire was only to help that one person get well.  I had no idea it would begin a long, jumbled journey to heal myself and help everyone learn what God says about healing.

My book The Healing King was born from my journey of healing.  In it I share the scriptures that formed the basis of my faith for healing, discuss the limiting beliefs I have encountered, and explain how my life has been impacted by divine healing.  I pray that your faith for healing will be ignited as you learn that healing is God's will for you.
