My latest book of devotionals is called Turbulence – Devotionals to steady you through the storms of life.
Scroll down for order information.
What is it about?
Life is full of turbulence. You’ve probably been through a storm, are in a storm, or are one phone call away from a storm. We all know it’s true. Like the abrupt, knock-you-around blasts of air that seem to randomly attack airplanes, life includes trials, troubles and tribulations which can shake you up and threaten your stability, or even your sanity.
It is published by Thicket Books.
