It's not just what Christian fiction lacks I appreciate - it's what it offers. The variety is vast: contemporary, historical, suspense, mysteries, adventure, young adult, romance, fantasy, science fiction.

My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.

Give more as you make more. Remember: God prospers us not to raise our standard of living, but to raise our standard of giving.

In the midst of prosperity, the challenge for believers is to handle wealth in such a way that it acts as a blessing, not a curse.

A disciple does not ask, "How much can I keep?" but, "How much more can I give?" Whenever we start to get comfortable with our level of giving, it's time to raise it again.

God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously.

What we love about this life are the things that resonate with the life we were made for. The things we love are not merely the best this life has to offer—they are previews of the greater life to come.
