In: History on: August 22, 2023

Jeff and I both lamented the end of our college years. We wished we could stay there forever. Not for the parties or the football games or the lack of real responsibility. No, we wanted to stick around and take more classes. …

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
