Exciting NEWS!!!

I have a new book out...EncouragingU Summer Stories

The six of us each view life through the lens of a story. Every adventure and every experience becomes a story that we want to share through the written word. We can’t help ourselves - we love to write!

EncouragingU Summer Stories is written to encourage and refresh you, but to also remind you of your stories that could encourage and refresh those around you.

Summer seems like a writer’s paradise! Beach trips, vacations, gardening, quiet times, family times, and summer memories are all included within the pages of our book.

As you read, you will laugh, cry, and be filled with nostalgia. You will travel by bike on roads you never imagined. You will visit places you have never been. You will experience lost souls finding love once again. Your heart will be stirred to remembrance of the blessings of God in your life, as you embrace the encouraging devotions.

Our hope is that you will carry this book to the beach, the mountains, your front porch, or wherever summer travels take you. Our hope is that God speaks to your heart as you read, stirring up summer memories and the joys of summer that you savor.

Be encouraged! Be refreshed!

Happy summer from the writers at EncouragingU.com!

You can still order out Christmas book:

An EncouragingU Christmas

I believe this book will become a holiday tradition that you will want to share with family and friends.

Five writers have come together to create An EncouragingU Christmas. We each love to write. We look at life and can’t help ourselves, we have to write. We each see God in our everyday lives and hope to help you see Him, too. We each know the power of words to encourage, inspire, and challenge our readers to a closer walk with God.

In these pages you will discover a fictionalized retelling of the birth of Christ, our Lord. You’ll feel the parent’s joy while you smell the hay and hear the baby cry. You’ll read the story of three lost souls who come together and ultimately save each other. If you are looking for a devotional to prepare your heart for the birth of Christ, we have that, too.

We have all written columns for Christmas. Each of us looks at this wonderful time of year from our own unique perspective. You will laugh, sing, and reflect on all the things that make this such a very special time of the year.

My Books

Encouraging Thoughts is a collection of short stories, essays, and articles that were written to strengthen and challenge the reader to a deeper walk with Christ. I write about my struggles, doubts, and fears and how God helps me overcome. I want you to see how I interact with God. I try to make the Christian experience real and tangible.
Uncle Charlie has devoted his life to helping people deal with the difficult hand that life can sometimes deal us all. He’s the kind of friend we all need, the kind that sees the good in everyone he meets, even if he has to dig deep to find it. Many people’s paths cross at the Bluebird Café, but the lucky ones cross paths with Uncle Charlie.
This is a sequel to the Bluebird Cafe. An evil force has moved into town. It’s purpose to destroy good people’s lives. It will use everything in it’s power to take these good people down. Eerything looks hopeless. Nothing and no one can stand in the way of this evil force.
