Everyday Faith (0)
This is my ongoing column at The Sword Review.
It is aboutÂ…
"How faith, religion, and God live in the everyday. Everyday epiphanies about life and faith and the inevitable intertwining of the two."
It's available online for free at "Everyday Faith."
I'm not a preacher or a theologian. These are just my personal thoughts about my personal experiences regarding faith and religion.

I am a writer and editor. Mostly I write science ficiton and fantasy, but I also write a column called "Everyday Faith" for The Sword Review. Most of my published works can be found via my website.
In addition, I am Managing Editor of MindFlights. We publish speculative fiction and poetry with a Christian or Christian-friendly slant. I hope you will visit MindFlights and give some of the work there a read.
Most Novembers I participate in National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It is a blast!
You can view my Author Profile at the National Novel Writing Month website.
