  • More Than Conqueror

    He had always been a bully at school. In fact, he rather prided himself on it and had just made the unpleasant discovery that, like all bullies, he was a coward. How then does a character like that have such a magnetic draw?

    And then there’s the one drawn to him. The strong foundation and spiritual safeguard of prayer and worship had been flung away with reckless frivolity. He was not happy. How can he get out of this miserable trap?

    Though penned long ago, this story could have been written today. The human condition is the same no matter the decade, no matter the century. We are all just sinners saved by the mighty grace of God! To overcome we must be brave, and to be brave we must have faith.

  • The Duel (George E. Sargent)

    “This story requires attentiveness, self-examination, and soul-searching. I found myself undone on many occasions, seeing myself on far too many pages. I’ve been admonished to live in the fear of God rather than the fear of man. So, my friends, if you are interested in a story that will challenge your manner of life and cause you to fall on your knees and beg God to change you, here it is.” — Mark Hamby

    Written from the striking viewpoint of the Bible personified, The Duel reveals spiritual tensions that occur in friendships, business interactions, and family relationships. Themes of honesty, forgiveness, vengeance, greed, lust, and salvation are developed.  In the end wisdom triumphs!  The author unearths our secret struggles and hidden sins, powerfully weaving Scripture throughout to reveal how to avoid falling into despair, regret, and shame.

    Based on the true story of a little boy who will do nearly anything to discover what is on the other side of the hedge, which becomes an illustration of his life, and the consequences of his actions, when giving in to enticement and frustration.

  • The Painted Fly (Christoph von Schmid)

    The Painted Fly is a love story—for both children and adults. It is a tale of unquenchable love that leads the reader on a journey of surprise endings—or rather, surprise beginnings.

    Although written in the classic style of Christoph von Schmid, author of The Basket of Flowers, the characters of The Painted Fly were created with distinct personalities that provide a new twist to Von Schmid’s stories.

    At the heart of the story (without telling you the surprise climax!), is the revelation that love does not easily surrender, even in the face of insurmountable obstacles. As 1 Corinthians 13 tells us, love never gives up; it is not passive, yet neither is it demanding. But in this innovative story, through myriad twists and turns, you will also discover that love is extremely creative!
