Four high school students. Four different stories. One life-changing week at Encounter Camp.
Aspen acts like a good Christian around other people, but on the inside, she isn't feeling it. She doesn't want to admit it, but her spiritual life is a wreck, and she needs this week away to refocus her attention on Christ.
Israel's family has been burned by the church, so he got involved with a new one and invited his best friend along for the ride. This is his first year at camp, and he's not sure what to expect, but his life is about to get wrecked by the gospel.
Emory seems like an average teenager, but she has a secret that no one knows. She's not willing to share it with anyone because it's so big. When will she learn to trust and let go of her past? Will she ever feel "worthy enough" for God to love her?
Hosea has a firm foundation, being homeschooled and raised in church. But in the fall, he'll be leaving for college, his first time away from home for an extended period of time. He's scared, but he would never admit it. Disappointed with how his church treated Israel, he's been closed off to getting involved in ministry. Maybe this week is the encouraging reminder he needs that God is still working in his life.
Join these campers and others on their week-long adventure to realizing God's purpose in and for their lives.

HIDING - every scar has a story
Every scar has a story but Cary Douglas isn't talking. SCARS trilogy vol. 1. Cary learned a long time ago that secrets and silence equal survival and he's kept his promise to his family ever since. So when the clean-cut new kid starts paying attention to him at school, it's a problem. Cary is sure he can't afford to care about one more person, but Jon White's persistent kindness is cracking him open. Every smile has a cost and Jon White is tired of paying it. It's never been easy to be the oldest son of Pastor White, and keeping it together when the bully at his new school is in his face every day is almost more than he can do.

Love Has No Color (Book 2)
Violet is in her final year of college, working through the process of who she's becoming and the fears that still whisper she's not enough. With school, an impending graduation, and an unexpected internship and job offer in New York stretching her in ways she didn't anticipate, she's discovering that walking in purpose isn't always glamorous. Through the last bit of school, she uses every ounce of her being to preserve the uniqueness of her creative gift. In her mind, the only way to make sure she's the best she can be is to be hard on herself. But as she learns, she sees that maturing in many contexts is slow, steady, and refining. There's beauty in the process, even if it first seems ugly. Alex, on the other hand, is stepping into his calling, finally launching the mentorship organization he's dreamed of. It's something good. Something necessary that provides hope and healing to him and those he wants to help. But just as things begin to come together, his past resurfaces. His estranged and abusive father returns, threatening everything Alex has been working to build. Suddenly, he's caught between honoring what he's built and confronting a pain he thought he'd buried. In the midst of it all, their relationship deepens. And in that new relationship commitment-one that demands more than just their feelings-they're thrown into the realm of learning what it really means to love when it's impossible to, to encourage honesty when it's easier to hide, and to fight for and with each other when the world just wants them to be pulled apart. The question is: can they withstand the storm?Compleet

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Compleet
