What if the Kingdom of Heaven is not earned-but entered like a child?
Elias is a brilliant scribe, exiled for daring to question the religious order that raised him. When he hears whispers of an orchard where truth lives and the Maker still speaks, he sets out to find it-armed with scrolls, logic, and pride.
But the gate does not open for the learned. It opens for a barefoot child.
Unable to enter, Elias turns to find another way-only to meet a strange old man named George, who walks the orchard's edge not as a guard, but as a guide. Through quiet parables and piercing questions, George dismantles everything Elias thought he knew about truth, holiness, and God Himself.
Inspired by George MacDonald's sermon "The Child in the Midst," this gentle yet soul-stirring parable invites readers to lay down the burden of performance and rediscover the way of childlike trust.

The Gospel of Clint
Many people know the story of the rich young man who approached Jesus and boldly asked, “What must I do to get eternal life.” Many of those same people may remember that Jesus responded, “If you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions, give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew 19:13. What most of those people don't know, as well read and hermeneutically educated as they may be, is that this young man's name was Clint. The thought of selling all he owned was intimidating: Clint's family owned much of Jerusalem. The thought of giving it to the poor seemed ridiculous. “The Gospel of Clint” follows Clint's journey from skeptic to soul-saver as he unwittingly follows Jesus's oft-silent prompts and guidance. Clint visits the early church, a bunch of fun-loving-love-touting hippies, he ventures through the seedy underbelly of Jerusalem that many of the city's poor call home, and he ultimately travels through his own heart to his true self.Complete

The Pale March
They don't chase. They wait. And they already know your truth. After the world fell silent, after machines turned against the minds that made them, a new terror emerged: the Pale Ones. Human-shaped and ghost-quiet, they come not for the body-but for the secrets no one dares to speak. You don't see them at first. But you feel them. Like gravity. Like guilt. Ty Mercer has walked a long way from Fort McCoy, farther than most, and seen what happens when people stop. He's learned to keep moving, even when he can't make the full thirty miles. He's learned the rules-but not the reasons. When he crosses paths with a ragged group of survivors in the shell of an abandoned megachurch, he gives them a choice: walk south or wait to be unmade. Among them: a boy with a gift for sensing the wrongness others ignore, an artist who draws what shouldn't exist, a preacher clinging to fire and judgment, and a woman who's lost more than she'll ever admit. Together, they march-not just to escape the Pale Ones, but to outrun the truths that might doom them first. Because in this world, the ones who fall behind don't scream. They Whisper.Complete

Something Without Reason.
The world ended with neither fire nor flood, only silence. The void swallowed all but a scattered few. And in the black aftermath, we decided: Call ourselves Saviors, and they will listen. Call ourselves Saviors, and they will not despair. Five years have passed, and faith has kept us breathing. Lies have kept us fed. And yet, three years ago, something crawled from the dark... a thing that wore a woman's face and called itself Hollow. It whispered a promise: Tomorrow will arrive. We knew from the start Hollow was not on our side. But is it madness to destroy the only thing that understands the void? Or is it madness to live beneath her shadow, clinging to the hope that someone, something, will save us? But what is a Savior to a world that has already been forsaken? What is meaning in something without reason?
