WRITING

Books

My first book “(The Best of) 100 Days of Inspiration” was a collective of devotionals I wrote after my 100 days | 100 paintings project in 2009. It was featured in the Carolina Christian News in June of 2010, and can be purchased through this website, my book e-storeAmazon and Barnes & Noble.

 

A new project is underway, “Every Chance in the World – trusting God when there’s no chance at all”, and is slated for release in late fall 2020. Stay tuned for updates!
