I believe nobody should have to read bad religious fiction — whether cheesy plots with pat answers or misrepresentations of the Christian faith and the Bible. So tell compelling, propulsive stories that thrill as much as inspire, while offering a dose of insight along the way.

As a former congressional staffer and pastor, and bestselling author of over fifty religious fiction and nonfiction books, I blend a love for ideas and adventure, exploration and discovery, thrill and thought. With graduate degrees in Christian thought and the Bible, and armed with a voracious appetite for most mainstream genres, I tell stories you’ll read with abandon and recommend with pride — exploring the tension of faith and doubt, spirituality and culture, and the gritty drama that is our collective pilgrim story.

When not writing, you'll find me spinning vintage jazz vinyl, with a glass of Malbec and an epic read. I live in Grand Rapids with my wife and two kiddos.
