Ask yourself, do you have the guts to walk into your enemy's capital and proclaim the Lord's message, or will you run? Go Ahead, Take the Journey!

Jonah - In The Time of the Kings

 In 763 BC the Lord sent one man to the most wicked and violent city upon the face of the earth.

He persuaded a king, he moved an empire…and he redeemed himself. His name was Jonah; The story of a man—not a whale.

    The First Rains of October  

When August St. Claire disappeared the night of her graduation, the small coastal town of Loss Landing fell into even greater despair as her boyfriend was convicted of her murder. 'The First Rains of October' explores presumption and unexpected change in a compelling manner that won't easily be forgotten, where crime and punishment, loss and forgiveness, spirituality and revenge, all collide in a chilling life-changing chain reaction of events that none of the characters could ever have anticipated. Ultimately it's the story of love blossoming among chaos, turning tragedy into triumph, even opening the door for miracles.

One thing was certain: after years of neglect and loneliness Norton had a mind full of confusion, resentment, and shame.
