It’s been nearly six years since I first knew I wanted to write and publish books. In those six years, I’ve published two books—one fiction and one nonfiction. Before publishing those two books I’d written one 50,000 word novel that I have not published (and probably never will) and several short stories. Now, I’ve almost finished a children’s picture book, and the first book in a historical fiction series set in ancient Rome is well underway. I’m also working on doing a revised and updated edition of my book Do Justly (my nonfiction book about human trafficking, abortion, orphans, other issues, and sharing the gospel). So, yeah, I love to write and do a lot of it.
I have learned so much since I’ve started writing books, and I wanted to share some of those lessons I’ve learned with you. Here they are:

Movie Review: Amazing Grace (And Some Things We Can Learn from William Wilberforce's Life)2/10/2019 Hi friends! I have just finished doing the Worldviews in Conflict course, put together by Kevin Swanson. It's a study of worldviews in philosophy, literature, and culture. I learned a lot through it. My final project was to write a movie review from a biblical perspective. At my mama's suggestion, I chose the movie Amazing Grace, and I thought I'd share my review with you. Here it is:
The transatlantic slave trade was thriving. Africa was torn by tribal warfare, and tribes kidnapped members of other tribes and sold them to European slave traders. Shiploads of Africans sailed around the world in the worst of conditions, and were then sold as slaves. In England in the late 1700’s, few people believed the slave trade was wrong. Of these, even fewer were brave enough to speak against it. William Wilberforce was one of those few. So begins the movie Amazing Grace, the inspiring true story of William Wilberforce and his fight to end the slave trade in Great Britain. |
