No life is messier than one in ministry

I don't see success as the goal. Obedience is the goal.

I've written enough books with real celebrities, such as Walter Payton and Hank Aaron and Billy Graham, to know that fame looks good only to people who don't have it.

The most comforting feeling ever is knowing that someone truly likes your entire existence. I feel that way right now. Thank you.

SOON was the first novel where I used a rough outline. Usually I have characters and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net.

The uninitiated have real questions and valid concerns over how the things of God appear to them.

I was raised as a Christian but the transaction has to be made by yourself - you and God - at some point.
