Curious about God?

When Jesus was here, He used simple stories to help His audience understand God, faith and being human. However, the world we know is much different from the one his audiences lived in 2,000 years ago. 40: A Collection of Modern-Day Parables uses cruise ships, electric cars, coffee and even pet dogs to help the reader gain insight into faith, God and even their own humanity. Winner of a Christianity Today award, this collection of forty short stories belongs on every nightstand.

Where it all began...

When I was a teenager, I ran into a man and his wife while hiking in the Smoky Mountains. He was incredibly kind and personable. After a few minutes of talking, he asked if he could give me a gift. His wife rolled her eyes and said, "He gives these away everywhere we go." The man reached into his backpack and gave me a small paperback. I said "thank you" and never saw him again.

Thirty years later, I still have that little paperback and remember its contents. Now that I'm an author, I wanted to have a small "giveaway" book as well. I pass these out to strangers that I meet in my travels. Maybe, you should do the same?

So you're thinking about becoming a police officer?

There are some things you need to know before you apply. The Worst Job Ever (And Why You Should Do It) covers not only the basics of law enforcement but what to expect in the academy, on patrol and beyond. This small, easy to read book is based on my career with the Highway Patrol including time as a supervisor, training officer and SWAT operator. An essential guide or great gift for anyone considering the badge.
