This book is a survival guide to the daily grind providing wisdom, encouragement, and hope in a world that is less than perfect. As you read through these pages, you'll soon discover that our perceived reality isn't as bad as we think it is. By altering our perspective with the ageless wisdom of the Holy Scriptures and shared life experiences, we can step into a more fulfilling and happy life. This is a second edition with additional insights not available when the first edition was written back in 1999. So much has changed between then and now and in certain instances I'm able to share my successes of overcoming the obstacles I faced those many years ago and show you the hope that waits on the other side of your situation.

The Rundi War is finally over, but the fragile peace hammered out in government chambers was very costly. Captain Rico Sanchez's best friend, Captain Conrad Banes of the War Ship Phoenix, the most decorated captain of the war was executed for treason casting a shadow of shame upon his surviving crew. Rico vows to clear his friends name and restore honor to his beleaguered crew. His quest for the truth, however, will uncover a deadly conspiracy. His first mission to evacuate human colonists from Hyperion, the only concession of the peace treaty, will prove to be an integral part of that conspiracy. Some of the colonists aren't willing to give up their prime piece of real estate without a fight. This uprising could thrust them back into war and unwittingly uncovers the truth about why the Rundi wanted peace. If the truth is discovered, it will cost Captain Sanchez his life. If the truth remains hidden, it could cost humanity their existence.

A young woman and an honorable man were taken from obscurity and thrust into the most significant turning point in all of human history. Their lives were a crucible of controversy, but above all remained faithful to the God of Israel that called them out. This duty, this honor that was given to them would lay the foundation for the redemption of the world. Join me on this journey back through time and experience the lives of Mary and Joseph. Before they were legend or a part of church doctrine, they were real people who struggled with many of the same things we do today. Walk a mile in their shoes and face the joy, terror, and awe-inspiring encounters with God that was so much a part of their life. Come, it is a journey that all of us should make . . .

This compilation of short stories, poetry, and lyrics are a glimpse into the imagination and the inspiration that sparked putting pen to paper. Every writer has a unique gift of insight to the world around them and how they face life. Artists reflect those passions and stories through images, musicians through rhythm and sound, but writers through words. The written and spoken word is powerful and can be used to encourage, build, or destroy. Many times I've been asked, "How did you get the idea?" There is no single answer to that question. Inside the pages of, "Into the Looking Glass," I share with the reader where I was, my personal feelings, beliefs, and attachment to the event that sparked my creativity. It is my hope that this will encourage other creative people to make a difference in their corner of the world by employing their own unique gifts.
