BIBLICAL FICTION
​Biblical fiction allows David to explore how the historical Bible characters may have reacted as God stepped into their lives, made Himself known and changed them forever. Where the Bible speaks, David does his best to maintain the literal record. Fiction helps to fill in the blanks and incorporate the lessons and interpretations we find in New Testament writings to preserve the unity of God's Word and the fulfilment of His revelation.

His journey takes him to Salem and King Melchizedek then all the way back home to face personal tragedy and doubt in his new flock. In King Melchizedek's garden, Jael encounters the Lord but will this be a solid enough foundation to guide and inform him? His journey, like ours, is a lifelong struggle to keep his promise to God.

The Oak of Weeping (The Hall of Faith, Book Two)

Through joy and trial alike, Deborah stands beside them, her quiet presence a testament to God’s enduring love and the divine call to love both God and neighbor.

Does it have something to do with the three men crucified on Roman crosses?

Fifty days later, the Holy Spirit descends on a novice priest named Ezra and a young woman, Mariam, who has taken the Navarite oath. Ezra and Mariam are baptized into a new faith but what does it mean? Has Jesus established new rules for faithful living? How can the laws of the Temple be reconciled with these fresh teachings? ​During the years of the early church when upheaval, injustice, and persecution were rampant, Ezra and Mariam must find their paths of revelation, love, and, most of all, faith.

HISTORICAL FICTION
Historical fiction allows David to show, from a Christian perspective, how God has and will remain ever close and loving toward humanity, created in His image, as they navigate a fallen world corrupted by sin and every imaginable evil.

His historical fiction stories are an attempt to connect modern readers with stories of others who knew our struggles, insecurities, and pain. Solomon wisely said that there is nothing new under the sun. David’s stories connect with the reader, showing that there is always hope, there are victories, and that lasting joy can be found.
