In a Dark World, One Man is Called by God: Enoch
Holy Man. Wise Sage. Giant Killer.
Before Noah, before the Flood, the world is wicked beyond imagination.
Fallen angels called Watchers rule as gods and breed evil offspring called Nephilim giants.

Then God gives Enoch a frightening duty: He and his family must become giant-killers.
But those very monsters are now coming after them.
And they're not stopping -- until they push their way back to Eden.

Where there is wealth and power, there's always someone willing to do anything to take it. When Delia's father dies, her stepmother accuses her seven brothers of treasonous crimes. Seeking to free them from Richard II's grasp, Delia's only ally is Sir Geoffrey, the man who arrested them. Can she trust him?

Determined to rescue her brothers, Delia secures a position as a seamstress for the queen. Her quest is all but impossible as the executions continue. Sir Geoffrey offers to be her ally, but should she trust him in a court where everyone has an agenda?

The Betrayal is told from the perspective of a lifelong sworn enemy of Calvin-a boy who grows up in the same town and who, as a man, remains involved with Calvin's life to the very end. As the publisher says, This fast-paced biographical novel is a tale of envy that escalates to violent intrigue and shameless betrayal.
(adapted from Tim Challies' review of the first edition)
The Betrayal offers a faithful and memorable overview of Calvin's life, and one could profitably read it without any prior knowledge of Calvin. It is easy for people today to forget that Calvin lived in a tumultuous, dangerous context in which politics and theology were intertwined, and The Betrayal portrays this vividly. The novel is filled with insights into Calvin's life that will enhance anyone's understanding of the man and his times. It is a welcome tribute to him in the year of his 500th birthday.
(adapted from TGC review of first edition)

Genesis: The Novel highlights God's history and interaction with human beings. Targeted to curious agnostics and believers alike of all age levels, the prime age group is young adults.
The Biblical book of Genesis is related in the form of a fiction novel. Stories feature the human doubts, fears, and weaknesses of biblical characters making them more relatable. This is the path to the reader identifying with their humanity and hopefully being inspired.
The Biblical narratives are primarily from a male perspective but for a more balanced account, female experiences are also emphasized. The story of Jacob's daughter Dinah is an example of bringing forth a female perspective from the era.
The book introduces God in a fresh way to inspire people to dig deeper into their faith and seek out the Lord.

Into this world, two lambs were born. One would change the life of a little girl. The Other would change the lives of all mankind.
Join us as we travel from the pastures of ancient Bethlehem up to the little town of Nazareth and become a part of the family of Jesus.
Meet:
-Bekka, a twelve-year-old shepherd girl who would defy the Roman army to protect her lamb.
-Jeremiah, who became as good with a hammer and chisel as he was with a shepherd's staff and a slingshot.
-Justin, a retired Roman army veteran who years later, when he needed a carpenter to make some furniture and doors, had his life changed.
