'Campfire Conversations' are a collection of short stories retelling classic Bible stories from the old and new testaments. They follow two points of view: the POV of our story tellers, Martha and Lucius, and the POV of the people in the Bible accounts. These POVs are separated by the * symbol.
'David's Mighty Men' tells the story of three men in King David's army who went the extra mile to protect his kingdom and spark bravery in their fellows, when the Philistines had discouraged them all. For their courage and valiance, they earned themselves honourable mentions in 2 Samuel 23. These men are proof that trusting God for protection, and being bold even in times of tribulation, are qualities which only spread and sharpen those around you. When we are willing to risk it all, God can use us the most.

*Matt stumbles upon a big camp in the middle of Long Island. Suddenly, a girl appears in from of him. She was clearly no ordinary girl, and Matt was no ordinary boy. Will they become friends or enemies? ~Audrey seems nice enough to Matt, but her boyfriend, Will Solace, is the exact opposite towards him. "C'mon, Will, why don't you like Matt?" "Because I don't know him." "You trusted me before you knew me." "You were ten! Matt is older than both of us, he can do worse." "But if you'd get to know him--" "No, Audrey." -But maybe they don't know about Matt then they thought. "You'd give up your life for your friends?! Pitiful, you know what you are and about how you'll lose control when it comes.. but still you hold on?! Why?!" "Maybe because that's what they'd do for me. I know all about it, how I'll lose myself, how I'll become unstable and harm them, and how I'll lose everything just for my own pitiful reasons. So? You think that'll make me join you or give up? Then you're probably the dumbest person out of all of us.."Complete

The Wright Way
Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language.

Sinful Discovery
THIS IS NOT A PAID STORY. ONLY THE STORY BRANCHES ARE. YOU CAN READ THE ENTIRE BOOK FOR FREE. NOTE: This book contains intense internalized homophobia, little abuse of drugs, a brush into the topic of racism and African 'discipline' and a lot of fluff and teenage angst. --- Israel is from a very religious family. He's the good boy and most people look up to him. His parents love him and together with teachers, he's believed to be perfect boy. Israel knows for a fact that's he's far from perfect, especially since he has a big secret that's choking him up day by day. Israel believes he can continue being one person in the closure of his mind and being another outside in real life.

The Stranger of Galilee
Holding her breath, Claudia lay her head down against the ground and willed herself to be somewhere else. Anywhere else. When she had desired more adventure in her life, this was not at all what she meant! While the garden they were in was beautiful, with uniform, perfectly dispersed trees that let the evening sun shine through with a heavenly golden light, and well-kept paths for anyone to walk, Claudia wished she was enjoying the scenery as a visitor, rather than a fugitive. She could not see Lucius at all from her position, but she could hear him as he moved like a panther through the garden, the rustle of grass his only giveaway. What was he planning to do? Did he have a plan at all? For a long, long time, the garden remained silent. In fact, Claudia was about ready - nay, desperate - to stand up and look around, when from a distance she heard a shout, the clinking of swords, a terrible 'squish' sound, then nothing at all. ** Follow the journey of two distinguished members of the Roman Empire, during the time of Christ's ministry on the earth as they discover the true meanings of 'love', and 'sacrifice'... ** This story switches between two points of view, the switches marked clearly by '***'. This story does not contradict teachings of the Bible, but merely shows the happenings of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection from a different perspective. I hope you enjoy the read, and learn something new about our wonderful God! *If you enjoyed this book please also read it's short story spin off, 'The Traitor Inside'. Thank you!*Complete
