Don't be fooled by all the different stories about Christmas. It's because the real Christmas story has been under attack. As innocent as it seems, we are in a battle. The battle is not over entertaining our children with stories that make up the Christmas season. It's over making sure our children understand there is only one real Christmas story, and how can we tell a story if we don't include the ending. Jesus did come into the world as a baby, but he left as our savior. I'm not trying ...

Back PageOnce again with this story I want the reader to be able to relate to what kids feel and struggle with in life. I also want them curious about how real is God and His word.Maddy is clearly a leader in this series of books, but in this book at first she feels like a failure. As she sees her unfaithfulness in obeying God, she discovers God is still faithful to her. She has learned something new about God that will impact her the rest of her life-a new side of His love...

I would like to tell you about how many degrees I have or maybe the hundreds of books I have read. But the truth is I am 62 years Old and the Bible is about the only book I read. My wife tells me that I am dyslexic, but I think it is a gift from God to help me with my poetry. He has always reminded me that in my weakness his strength is made strong. Over and over again in life's trials I find his strength is made perfect in my weakness. So why not try something that in the world's eyes wou...

Gateway to More of Him was written for the hungry heart and for those who want God's word to come alive and are crying out for a deeper walk with him. Centered around his word, these poems tell a story of our need for more of him. Always challenging our hearts not to be lukewarm and our hands to keep them tight on the plow, not looking back. Realizing God's plan for every believer is to be conformed to the image of his Son. As we are being changed from glory to glory, the power of the Holy...

It was my hope when writing this book to also plant seeds of faith in our children's hearts. I have nineteen grandkids, and I pray every day that they will find the Lord at a young age, as the world is trying so hard to pull them away. I wanted to write a book that would remind them that Jesus tells them to come to him. If God knows those who are his before they are born, it makes sense that the sooner our children learn about Jesus, the better. Planting the Seeds for Jesus is about a litt...

This is my third book out of seven that I will be publishing in my Maddy series. I am anxious to get them all published, but God is anxious to teach me patience.

When her best friend moves away, God moves in. Maddy is learning that losing her best friend is never easy, and that God is someone who...

God gives us so many parables that have to do with gardening to help us understand Him. When He tells us to come to Him as children, I am reminded that being able to understand God's words is not hard, and even a child can know His ways. Maddy Learns from Her Garden connects children with God not only with their minds but also with their hearts. We find that to go deep with God is a heart thing, not a mind thing. Jesus said, "Let the children come to me," so it is my desire to open up a do...

In the series of books I have written about Maddy and her love for Jesus, I had in mind how can I share my faith with my own children and grandkids. Maddy will be telling the story of a little girl who is finding out that the bible is more than just a book, and Jesus is not make-believe but real. As she discovers him every day in her life, not only in her good days but also in her very bad days, she finds him to be her real strength. I wanted to write books that would speak to our children...

In the summer of 1957, the Indiana towns of French Lick and West Baden decided to merge two high schools that had been fierce rivals for decades. It was a decision that did not go over well in those divided communities. W. Timothy Wright weaves the gripping story here, chronicling the events that followed the fateful consolidation of two schools and two basketball teams. But an extraordinary first season slowly revealed the team’s fierce determination to win, and the players became a micro...

Abbot Timothy Wright proposes sowing a small seed from which might grow a greater respect between the world's two largest religions, Christianity and Islam. Indeed, he believes that the seed has already been planted. Christians give unique value to their revealed Scriptures as the "Word of God." Muslims speak of the Qur'an as God speaking to them.In No Peace without Prayer, Wright presents the case for developing this faith in the Word of God to establish groups of Christi...
