Books


I love to write about the little-known stories and people of the Bible—the ones we tend to skip right over because they are overshadowed by the bigger stories around them. But every tale and every person has a message for us. And that’s my goal—to reveal God’s character through His characters.

 

Journey to Canaan Trilogy

Book 1 – In the Shadow of Sinai

In the Shadow of Sinai

An artisan’s world has been destroyed one too many times. Can he conquer his anger to see his ability for what is—a gift from El Shaddai? Or will he let his resentment rob him of his chance to build a masterpiece?

Blood, frogs, flies, darkness … death. Experience the Exodus through the eyes of Bezalel, a Hebrew slave to Ramses II.

An extraordinarily gifted artisan, Bezalel has been kept in the palace even when Ramses has banned all other Israelites. Bezalel blames El Shaddai for isolating him from his people. When Moses and Aaron appear one summer, and El Shaddai shakes Egypt to its core, Bezalel must reexamine that anger. Over the course of the next year, Bezalel’s life becomes intertwined with those of an Egyptian child-slave, the captain of the guard, and especially a beautiful, young concubine.

When spring arrives, all of them escape with the young nation of Israel. But that’s only the beginning…

Book 2 – By the Waters of Kadesh

By the Waters of Kadehs

A displaced soldier anticipates only empty tomorrows. A young widow knows nothing but yesterdays filled with abuse and neglect. A spy sees only a today he can manipulate to gain the power he craves. Will they allow Yahweh to give them what they need?

Kamose, once Egypt’s most trusted soldier, no longer has a country to serve or king to protect. Moses insists God has a plan for him, but Kamose is not so sure. Tirzah’s cruel husband died shortly after they left Egypt. She escaped his brutality, but now she’s alone, and once they reach their new land, how will she survive? Gaddiel, Tirzah’s brother-in-law, is chosen as one of the twelve spies sent to scout out Canaan. He’s supposed to go in, get information and come back, but all he really wants is to bring down Joshua.

Book 3 – The Walls of Arad

A promise made over four hundred years ago is about to be fulfilled. A vengeful king tries to stand in God’s way. Now Yahweh’s people have a promise of their own to keep. Forty years have passed since Israel crossed the Yam Suph. Their punishment is over, and the time to take the land is finally here.

The Canaanite king of Arad has heard about the mighty deeds of Israel’s God, and fears he will be destroyed as Egypt was. He waits until Israel is on the move, and as they march north he launches a sneak attack and takes hostages. Zadok, grandson of Bezalel and great-nephew of Kamose, is one of those captured.

Arad has no idea who they are dealing with …
