What I have discovered as I write all of my books is that, though my characters are fictional—and even though many times I use instances from my life to build a story around them—with the Holy Spirit as my guide, I am constantly learning how to improve my Christian walk.
When I read back through any of my manuscripts and see how God shapes each character into an example of what He requires of us—even when their lives started out imperfectly or they stumbled along the way—it often influences my own decisions when I face similar situations. My books are not just entertaining; they carry messages meant to help us grow spiritually and build a stronger relationship with God.

In The Path of the Chosen Warriors, the character Joshua was the first whom God used to inspire me to devote more time to Him. Joshua was a faithful Christian who always started his day in fellowship with the Lord so he could know God’s voice and His will. When I reflected on his life, I realized I wasn’t giving Christ that level of commitment—even though He had chosen me to minister through books.
I do spend a lot of time with the Lord, but Joshua’s example taught me the importance of starting each day with Him, putting Christ first, and seeking His guidance for the day ahead. This is the core purpose of my books: to help readers see their own lives through the eyes of the characters, identify with the ones they connect with most, and discern what God may be saying to them through those characters’ journeys.
Even as the author, the Spirit of God often uses my writing to convict and guide me. Writing these characters leads me to examine my own life and, at times, repent when I realize how much I resemble a character’s struggles or shortcomings. I hope that as I share my journey with you through these stories, you’ll also find moments of connection and inspiration. If you identify with any of the characters, I’d love to hear your thoughts—how their stories affected you, whether positively or negatively. We are all part of one body in Christ, and we’re called to reach out to each other in love.
