Seven Unforgettable Stories

A few excerpts:

Shadow
Others before me had tried and failed with the grandmother. Failed miserably. But I found the grandmother’s weak spot. The girl. 
Beams
It seemed too easy. A single wagon on a remote trail, guarded by only two Roman soldiers on horseback. Zamir scanned the valley below, but nothing moved. The middle of the day proved too sticky for even the smallest of creatures. Only the steady creaking of the wheels over the stones and dirt, and the clopping of the hooves cut through the heavy air.
Cloak
Barukh locked eyes with Rebecca before following Saul’s men. He could read her mind. Don’t blow this.

Author

Latest Novel: The Wolf and the Lamb, a Biblical novel. Think The Chosen meets Ben-Hur.

Elevator pitch – A Jewish rebel learns that attempting to disappear with Barabbas’ lover to follow Jesus can be even more perilous than defying the Romans.

Thrillers: Also author of the The Scapegoat, the first thriller of the Billy Omaha series.

Who is Billy Omaha?

What’s in the duffel? Oh, just ten keys of cocaine, a gun and a box of ammo, and clothes that belonged to a dead police detective. Nothing interesting.

“Well,” Billy said with a frown. “I was just talking to that clerk over there…”

The officer didn’t budge. “ID, please.”

Equipping Men with Biblical Knowledge and Leadership Skills

Origins

All my life I’ve been told I should be studying God’s Word. Daily devotions, at a minimum. And to be a leader in the church and home.

I knew I should. But how? The Bible is… big. So what changed?

Pastor Chuck Swindoll had signed his book on the cruise and strongly encouraged us to follow it. I resolved that I’d try. So when I got home, I put it on my nightstand. But the next few nights I was too tired. And then some other books got placed on top of it. Out of sight, out of mind.

One night I couldn’t sleep. Two in the morning. Three in the morning. Annoyed, I flicked on the light. Guess what book was on top of the stack on my nightstand? Yep. Searching the Scriptures, by Chuck Swindoll.

“How did that… Okay, fine, Lord. You win.” I finally cracked it open.

I’m not a big non-fiction reader, but the simplicity of his method intrigued me. I practiced some, but still lacked motivation.

Then the leaders of my adult Sunday-school class asked me to lead for a month. After faking confidence and agreeing, I dug in more to his book. The classes went better than expected. Over time, I’ve gotten better at facilitating them.

Eventually, thinking about men who might be like me, I hatched the idea of the Burning Bush blogs. Or more accurately, God hatched the idea.

Bio

I retired from software development at age 50, and studied writing under the mentorship of Jerry Jenkins, author of numerous New York Times bestsellers including the famous Left Behind series. I learned that I have a lot to learn!

I’m married, with no kids (unless you count a rambunctious black mouth cur), living in central Florida, close to the mouse ears, where I serve as a deacon and sometimes-sunday-school-leader in my local church.
