Family Memories and Memoirs

Family Memories and Memoirs

For the last few weeks, I have been reflecting on my family memories—reading my sister’s memoirs, alternating with my mom’s memoirs. It amazes me how two people, who lived the same events, can retell their stories from such vastly different perspectives...

One Day at a Time Stories on Audible

One Day at a Time Stories on Audible

If a short story is a “window to other worlds,” it does not necessarily have to be tiny. It can be as large as the universality of the human struggle to keep faith with the best of ourselves.

Audible Book—The Road Goes Ever On, A Christian Journey Through The Lord of the Rings

Audible Book—The Road Goes Ever On, A Christian Journey Through The Lord of the Rings

Things rarely go as planned, but sometimes, they go better than planned. The trick is not to assume that a planned timeframe determines the worth of a project or that our maps are worthless when we are led off the beaten path.

Back in 2010, I wrote my first book, The Road Goes Ever On—A Christian Journey Through The Lord of the Rings and now it's available as an Audible book professionally narrated by Kaylay Eaton.
