The Hunter Is Coming . . .
The Psalm Series is almost here! I’m so honored and excited to be part of this amazing series. It’s the brainchild of Brennan McPherson, author of Cain and Flood from his “The Fall of Man“ series. Each of us was to choose a psalm—any of the 150—and write a story inspired by that psalm. The first book, by Brennan, releases …
If the Foundations Be Destroyed
Prize of War takes place mainly in Debir, which before Othniel’s conquest had been called Kiriath-Sepher. There are a few cities that Joshua conquered but were re-inhabited a little later, and then had to be re-conquered by the various tribes. Debir was one of those. Where exactly that is in Israel now is a matter of some debate. I have …

Real-Life Fairy Tales
Othniel … “Lion of God.” The man who conquered a city to win his bride. The stuff fairy tales are made of. We don’t know that they lived happily ever after, but we do know a bit more about Othniel than Acsah. He was Caleb’s nephew, the son of his brother Kenaz. He had a brother named Seraiah. He conquered …
Spoiled Brat or Strong-Minded Woman?
The story of Acsah, daughter of Caleb, is told word-for-word in Scripture twice, once in Joshua 15, and again in Judges 1. And Caleb said, ‘I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.’ Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.One day …
It Has to be Important
If you’ve been waiting, you’re about to be rewarded. My next book, Prize of War, is set to be released October 20. Prize of War takes place just a few years after the end of the “Journey to Canaan” trilogy. We leave behind the family of Bezalel and Kamose, and this time Caleb’s family takes over. The story of Acsah …
