Three publishing industry insiders have been working behind the scenes for the past several months in a secret author lab. Well, not really, but they’ve kept the secret since December. Thomas Unstated, and and they’re really excited about it. Why did they create this site? Because they got a lot of folks asking how to write better, get published, and get...

You know by now how I love mining little gems from the Word of God. Here’s the one I came across yesterday in the book of Mark. To set the scene: Jesus has been crucified and risen from the dead, but only a few have seen Him yet.

Like the one I ran across the other day in Numbers 9. It was time to celebrate the Passover, but some men were unclean due to a dead person in...

I read somewhere that Mesu Andrews was first a student and teacher of the Bible before her foray into Biblical fiction. That piqued my interest.
